Tiny house living!!

Finally after much run about and nonsense from the bank we signed papers. And got the one and only key to our own tiny house. First step off to the hardware store to buy new locks.
  Nothing like moving out right on the wire. My uncle comes back from overseas tomorrow. We still have most of our things in the big storage unit, not sure what day they will be moved. Until then we have the basics.

120 year old. 720 square foot house 


For the next few days R is working on removing all the carpet from each room there was carpet in the kitchen and bathroom - yuck! I'm staying away with the in-laws. Small kids are no help to refinish flooring. So far we found beautiful potential wood in the bedrooms. Weird mosaic lenoum in the closet and newer plywood in the kitchen. 
Here are some before pictures.
Our dinning room looking into the living room. The sliver of a window on the left is the front door and the person is standing in front of the kitchen doorway.

Our bedroom. The carpet came up easily leaving black carpet padding. Shown is the large root cellar access door.

Bedroom hardwood flooring under the carpet.

This is the whole kitchen, stove and fridge on the other side. There is also the back door in the kitchen.
Looking into the kitchen across from the counters. The backdoor.
That's all for now. Enjoy. We'll fill it up and then it will all about sorting out our stuff to fit comfortably in our new tiny space. It is 200 square feet smaller then out last apartment. But the root cellar and garage are bonus.

How exciting!! Oh how I'm jealous of your root cellar. We can't have those here, too much rain, but we may put in a storm cellar later on when we are at our place full time, to be safe during bad storms/hurricanes/etc. They have to be prefab/one piece things tough. When you get down there, please do take some pictures of it inside, I'd LOVE to see it.

Your house is wonderful and has so much potential. Can't wait to see it progress!

I'm excited for the root celler too. It is part of the house crawl space, so the house is the ceiling. It is reassuring having it in case of storm trouble. We can get tornadoes in the summer.
