Today I'm gathering kindling for my wood stove.
My tiny house is parked on a farm with 20 acres of woods
It hasn't rained in a few days so it's easy to find dry sticks to burn
Salise come look
So many good sticks
I'll even give you one
So as many of you know
I no longer live full time in my tiny house and when I'm not using it, I rent it out on Airbnb
Filling this bag only took 15 minutes and it should last me and my guests for a while
My wood stove is The Kimberly made by Unforgettable fire.
I burned two kindling fires to get the stove up to 400 degrees
And then I like to burn compressed sawdust logs.
My favorite are called bear bricks because they're the perfect size
Once the compressed log catches it will burn for two to three hours on low.
And that's long enough to keep the house heated through the night.
Since I don't have a dishwasher and there's only one sink in the entire house.
I like to do dishes after every meal to make sure my counters are clean in a lot of ways
I'm actually a lot cleaner when living in the tiny house than in larger houses
Three-stage water filter, so I don't really have to worry too much about where I fill up my water
I do all my drinking water out of there it works great
You can also see the inside antenna for my wii boost. I went with a really deep sink.
Here gives me a ton of space for the sink area. I have my
paper towels.
I work a little bit every day on my videos, right now I'm reviewing a cut from one of my editors and giving notes
So just like everybody else I have to go to the grocery store every once in a while today's the day
So I'm going to the community grocer here on the island and I have my handy dandy homemade mask
So, here we go
Check out the price difference between the eco-friendly and the regular toothpaste
But we only use biodegradable products at the tiny house because our gray water system waters the trees
Good thing I only need one
These are my favorite fire starters, but they're a dollar a piece and that can really add up so I usually buy cheaper ones instead
So, um, I would say about three quarters of people were wearing masks in there
And they had signs everywhere saying, you know, stay six feet away and they have markers
where you need to put your cart when you're checking out and the checkout counters have plexiglas around the
cashiers, not a lot of people in there so
I'm, thinking people aren't going to the grocery store as often
I don't love going to the grocery store, you know, I'd like to stop going grow my own food, but
I just don't I've never really known how to do that fully
Between stoking the fire cooking lunch and filming this video
I left my grilled cheese on a little too long
But it was still pretty good
Yeah, okay, let's go
So like I mentioned my tiny house is parked on a 20-acre farm
Today is the day the potatoes go in
This is Aja
She owns the property with her husband Jake and their two little girls
On certain days of the week
She invites everyone who lives on the property in their various tiny homes and other shelters to join in on some community gardening
It's a good opportunity for me to learn something new and useful.
These are our seed potatoes we saved these from last year we're gonna have Jenna plant the potatoes.
The late afternoon is usually a good time for me to check back into work and often snack
At least once a day I like to do something that's mentally calming like reading a book or some type of art
I have a bunch of art supplies at the tiny house and one thing my guests seem to really enjoy is rock painting.
I gather these rocks from a nearby beach where Salise and I often like to watch the sunset.
I don't have cable or wi-fi at the tiny house. So at night I like to watch a dvd to wind down
And then it's time to crawl up to bed, come on girl.
I hope you guys enjoyed this day in the life video during a very interesting time
