A tiny house does afford one many opportunities, whether it be location, land ownership status, lifestyle, etc. So many in fact, the process can appear quite daunting.<br /><br />I have yet to decide 'where' I want to finally settle my Tiny House (TH) long term. The exciting thing is that with a tiny house, like you mention, one can try out a variety of different options. I think when I finally settle in I will want to be part of a tiny house community. (Which do not really exist yet, but will soon be sprouting up throughout the country.)<br /><br />With my Strategic Planning background, I recommend consideration of these issues for your TH location:<br /><br />1. Identify what it is that you would like to do with your time, both personally and professionally.<br />2. Consider what types of friendships are important to you and the type of social atmosphere you thrive in.<br />3. Identify what are your distance requirements for services.<br />4. To own or rent.<br /><br />Each of these factors, when combined, will assist you in determining the most ideal TH locations to try out. <br /><br />Your inquiry is an excellent topic for a blog post. So I will expand upon the four ideas above in my next post.<br /><br />Regarding my cooking. In the cooler months I intend to utilize my wood stove as much as possible for cooking and heating water. In the summer I have an outdoor gas grill for now, and eventually I want to build a cob/brick oven. Ideally I would like to utilize a small antique gas stove with 3 burners and a small oven, but I have not had much luck finding one as of yet :-)<br /><br />Paula, thank you for sharing your thoughts. One of the plethoras of reasons so many of us are excited about the TH Movement is because of all the opportunities it presents! With a little methodical and strategic planning the entire process can be turned from a bit daunting to very enjoyable and exciting. <br /><br />Good luck to you in your search. Please keep in touch!<br />Fondly,<br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324505766884098987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093476151718887810.post-30086799232491652992013-06-04T20:20:44.824-07:002013-06-04T20:20:44.824-07:00What I mean by stepping stone is that we have a pl...What I mean by stepping stone is that we have a place to live in, and we can rent land, and then buy land later, or just be mobile for a while first. I have thought we could live in the country and try living in town too...one of my dilemmas was the pros and cons of town vs. country living. So we can try both with a portable house.paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754613242720297002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9093476151718887810.post-67678848303235468582013-06-04T19:25:25.573-07:002013-06-04T19:25:25.573-07:00Hi Heather,

A house on wheels solves the dilemma that's been bothering my head forever. Vermont? Oregon? Maine? And then where in those states? Originally I was looking for land, but it was too daunting to try to do a real estate search from a distance. I live in New Jersey right now and I want a big change, so the tiny home is a stepping stone.<br /><br />I have a question by the way. I like that you are planning to use solar panels and a wood stove. I was wondering what you plan to use for cooking. I am trying to find a balance between simplicity, sustainability and convenience.<br /><br />I would love to hear if you have thought this one out--what factors played into your decision.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Paulapaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754613242720297002noreply@blogger.com
