DESIGN

The design process with one of these microhome builds from re-purposed materials never seems to end! That's mostly a good thing, but can be frustrating and time consuming as well. We have both created many sketches, talked ourselves blue and even mocked it up with buckets, boxes and painters tape. The most fun and helpful design method for me was when we literally built the microhome out of clay! Friends said it reminded them of The Flintstones RV!

In the design, we have to plan for our animals as well. In one drawing you can see a caged rabbit drawn near ceiling. We had to find a safe place for our rabbit, up and away from our dogs! The dogs will need a fenced area lightweight and mobile, to give them a safe palce to relax outside. The rabbit who is litter trained and roams freely in our stick built home, will need a safe outdoor enclosure as well. Working on that one, still!

My helpers design from last year includes a large back porch! I am tasking him with figuring THAT one out :-D
