Besides putting most of my time in Solar Boat, I also helped my sister on some weekends with her ambitious project, building a tiny house on her own! With some support of my father, she was planning to build a house on wheels from scratch to move later on near Eindhoven. As a creative person, it is a dream come true to build a house that is exactly as how she sees best. I will update this single post with all tiny house updates of the year.
It is a lot of work and was estimated to be six months in production. Not everything has gone smoothly but this is the first time that either my sister or father have started such a big project and I am really proud of them, and very thankful that I could have part as well in building it.
A lot of progress was being made on the tiny house, at some point it even was ready to be moved to an outside location. I do notice that the amount of help I can be is shrinking as I’m getting more busy with Solar Boat.

It is really nice to see how my sister also wants this house to be more sustainable. She plans to have solar panels on the house and to have a compost separating toilet instead of the regular flush toilet. This way she could theoretically also live off-grid. Some of the building materials, such as the windows or the wooden planks of the floor, have been picked up for a pack of beers or even for free at Martplaats (marketplace).

The (what is going to be) the kitchen, and a bed that can be tucked underneath.
