Search for Temporary Home

by 1 Comment

Tennessee is my home destination.  I am now assessing the financial opportunities to make this happen.

During the last two months I had had 2 very temporary positions with an hourly paid salary.  That doesn’t get me where I want to be !  My goal for the next week is to commit to work that will result in the money I need to pay consumer debt, provide a temporary home and save for the little house.

I have decided that for one year I will have a temporary home.  This home will be a fraction of the normal monthly rent.   Join me Monday to learn how to do this if you are interested.

Join me in my search for the money cow!

 

Want A Home Adventure?

Begin with the end in mind.  It seems I have traveled a long distance in my mind to get to a place where I can map out where I am going!

Tennessee will be home!  Debt free from consumer debt comes first!  Land is to be found during this process.  I feel an excitement like it is the first day of spring.

In the fall things go to sleep.  I am putting my stress to sleep.  Will wake up to a crisp new beginning!

Travel with me, we are in for a joyful ride.

What Is Possible?

by Leave a Comment

Since June 1st I have traveled over 5,000 in search of a place to call home.

Results:  The car needs tires.  The car needs a brake repair.  I need a place to live!  My dreams are vivid of the little house.   Bills come and I am adamant I want to be debt free.

So,  the questions are :  Where am  I going to live?  Second question:  How will I pay for my residence and pay the consumer debt?

It is time to take action.  If you were faced with the situation of  no monetary resources and no where to live other than with friends, what would you do?  What possibilities would this situation create in your life?

Most Important Part of The Trip, Uncle T.J.

by Leave a Comment

There is a highlight for every trip.  This trip has a happy one.  In Keavy, Kentucky I stopped to see my Uncle T.J.

He is a Favorite and actually the only living Uncle.  Since he stayed with us from the time I came home from the hospital until I was around 3 years old, I developed a special bond with him,

His house is always fun  Four wheelers abound for play.  Flowers border the house and inside the smell of home cooked meals makes my mouth water.

He and his lovely wife Edith always share stories from the past.  My mind is full of happy memories of hours I spent with TJ.

After this visit, there will only be a few hours left of my original plans for this trip.  Keavy is a possibility for home.  Six Days on the Road and I may make it home tonight!

Solaleya Homes

These homes are amazing.  This company designs two round homes with elegant lines, lots of light definitely for the future!

Prices start from 45,000.  This is their guest cottage, which is my idea of a little home.  Top of the line values are in the 890,000 range.  Luxury abounds throughout.  Also, the homes are designed to be earthquake and hurricane resistant.

Adding the cost of transporting, zoning and land this little house still exceeds the budget I want too work with.  Visit their site though for an exciting tour of the floor plans.

I am consulting with a friend to see how feasible it is to build conventional but allowing the means for solar to be added.  I would love to learn more from this company!

 

Is This The House in The Wildwood?

He (she) enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his (her) soul’s estate.
~Henry David Thoreau—

With a little house there will be more time to improve the soul’s estate, less time for cleaning, maintenance, buying decor, dusting decor, useless waste of ones time.

This picture and quote came from the Tiny House Post from Echo’s of Love.  We are almost ready to wind up our tour of little houses and move on to the one for me!  Maybe you will want one too.

House With a Past Life!

by 1 Comment

Just for fun, I want to take a break and look at the big homes.  Should I ever own one of these, I would still need to sleep, eat, enjoy the bathroom and cry about the mortgage payment.

An alternative to that would be to win the lottery and pay cash for it!  This home used to be a silo.

Listed on Zillow for $750,000 it is an abrupt detour  from the little houses we have visited.

Think about how many little houses you could build for 750,000.00.

I believe there is a place and a season for large  homes.  This one is a beautiful

transformation and productive conversion of a building that would have become obsolete.

Aunt Josie

Dear Diary, this message was in my inbox!  It makes my heart flutter with memories of a past life left so far behind, memories tucked away that surface with mother’s day so close.  This picture is of my grandmother, Dora Sizemore Asher, Aunt Josies  daughter.  Grandma Asher died when she was 96.

Hello,
I was looking for info on Josie Jackson Sizemore and ran across your blog.My husband is a great grandson of Josie’s. I was wondering who are your parents and if you ever visit the home-place?The annual Jackson Sizemore reunion will be Memorial Day weekend this year at the old home place in Antley Branch, Manchester Ky. Would love to get acquainted with more family.Look forward to hearing from you!!

My favorite Uncle TJ may be able to go with me.  I am thinking he may be her only living grandson.  What a memorable day that may be.   Dear Diary, tonight my mind is revisiting the family I had growing up.

 

Daily Journal April 30

April 30    Dear Diary,

Great day today.  It is almost time for me to leave this area.  Finally, I am acknowledging to myself I have worked and survived in a field unrelated to Real Estate for over a year.  Since January of 2011 I have worked in the circulation department for the Daily Astorian.  It’s been fun, challenging, no where near the pay from Real Estate but part of my education in another world.   Today, I finished a successful sale for a project that will fund 30,000 newspapers.

Got an email response from my blog today too, reminding me of the family reunion near Manchester, Ky, for descendants of Aunt Josie Jackson Sizemore, my great grandmother, whose legacy inspires me.

I have lists covering the table tonight.  They include list to pack in different containers, an order for unpacking, a question for WHEN do I leave?  Time to try on for size and downsize to my permanent residence,  the little house!

Idaho Bridge House

by Leave a Comment

This little shelter intrigued me mainly because of the location.  My little granddaughter lives in Boise, Idaho.  Soon, I plan to visit her and I want to stop by and see this little Idaho Bridge House.

Presented from the Tiny House Blog comments were deleted because apparently some were negative.  I think it inspires me to look around for unusual dwellings from which to work.

The actual shelter inspires a note of how to build a get-away for the writer, artist or maybe a play  house.  What do you think?

Is it time to shift our thinking to small houses in future time?  My future is now.  What do you see in your future?
