Tiny House Living Stories & Expert Insights

Three years ago, a tiny house owner from Portland shared how their composting toilet froze solid during a -20°F winter night. Last month, another owner in Austin wrote about the time their tiny house almost rolled down a hill because they forgot to chock the wheels. These aren't horror stories—they're real moments from our community of tiny house owners who've learned to laugh at the chaos and celebrate the victories.

We started this blog because every other tiny house resource felt like a Pinterest board. Beautiful photos, perfect lighting, zero reality. Where were the articles about sewage backup at 2 AM? The honest reviews of off-grid solar systems that actually work? The real cost breakdowns that include the $3,000 mistake you made with your water heater?

Every story here comes from someone who's lived it. The builder who's constructed 200+ tiny houses and still learns something new with each one. The family who traded their 3,000 sq ft suburban home for 400 sq ft and discovered they actually prefer it. The single mom who built her own tiny house with YouTube tutorials and a lot of determination. No fluff, no filters—just the messy, beautiful, sometimes frustrating reality of tiny house living.
