Well I feel a blog update is well over due. Today I got some exciting mail. A contributors copy of Lloyd Kahn's new book TINY HOMES. I can't count the hours I spent pouring over his previous book BUILDER"S of the Pacific Coast. It was a great source of inspiration for our little cabin. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought to be part of his next book. But here we are...just check out pg 40. This new book is just as captivating too...full of all kinds of ideas and kindred spirits. I have only had my copy for a few hours...and already my head is gonna burst trying to absorb all the images and details. I am gonna spend a lot of time pouring over these photos now. Wishing this book was a 1000 pages long.
Most of those following progress on our blog/cabin building experience know that we slow down alot in the winter. We spend the winters living in the interior of BC. Working like dogs...dreaming about the spring time and our next adventure. As much as we want to be living year round at Ons Tweede Huis. We know that isn't possible. First of all we aren't quite old enough or free enough from life's obligations to retire. This cabin has been another piece of the puzzle which makes up our life. I am so thankful for my heavenly Father who has my whole life planned out. I am excited to see the final picture. Right now I can only imagine what these individual puzzles pieces will make. As much as we want to be adventuring on the wild wet coast of BC. We are on an adventure of another kind. This one involving our newborn son Sawyer and a complex congential heart defect. A busy inner city childrens hospital is about as far from our cabin as I could imagine being. But this is the opportunity we have been blessed with and Lord willing we will been able to introduce Sawyer to Ons Tweede Huis by the summer.
I am expecting to a bit more volume on this blog after having it listed in the new book. (Tiny Homes) I would be thrilled to answer any question or been involved in some new opportunity. I am not sure what that means..but my whole life is just made up of the most random puzzles pieces. So I am excited to what happens next.
