You know I would actually love to be able to rent parts of our lot and have a little tiny house community. We need to get these archaic laws changed! Developing a community from scratch is definitely on my bucket list. Tiny houses would absolutely be a part of it.
I wouldn't consider propane as "off the grid." If you draw a boundary around a house, if processed energy crosses that boundary, it's on a "grid" of some sort.
I completely agree and it's an excellent point. It is frustrating to google "off grid propane" and see how many people don't get it. And a lot of these people are doomsday preppers?!?! I hope the propane company survives the apocalypse bro! The ONLY way to live a modern life off the grid is to utilize the free, intermittent energy that the universe gives us via wind, sun, waves, etc and then store the energy with a battery so you can use it whenever you need it.
@@offthegridtinyhouse2821 Thank your responding, as I think this is an important distinction. If one is "off grid" simply because they are too remote to get utility company provided electricity, then I understand that propane would be a practical solution to the problem. But energy independence seems to be the goal of many who go off grid. If the grid goes down, the propane truck may not be dispatched. Also, the nomenclature of "off grid" to me, doesn't include the "grid" of propane extraction and distribution.
love this idea!!
This is great! I can’t wait to see more!
Awesome intro video, super excited to see what's coming next!
Excited to watch the progress! Have any space for rent on your land?🙂

@@offthegridtinyhouse2821 A tiny house community just got approved and is being built here in Atlanta! Be the change my friend :-)

have you run into any issues with permitting in watsonville?
For construction, there is no permit needed with a tiny house. If you buy your trailer with a Dept. of Transportation certification you are good.
