Meet Lindsay and Eric Wood
Hi we are Lindsay and Eric Wood and here is our Tiny Home Story... (written by Lindsay)
For years my husband and I felt a strong desire for home ownership. however after two years of searching and placing offers on homes/land in Marin County, traditional home ownership was simply not in the stars.
August 2017, while enjoying some R&R I had an epiphany!
Eric and I would move up to Ukiah, CA and into my parents house which they leave during winter. Over the first winter we would essentialize our belongings, (essentialize means keep what is only essential and let go of the rest), find a Tiny Home builder and move into our dream Tiny Home and travel the US as digital nomads.
All was going well, we found the builder, we essentialized 9 truck loads of furniture and boxes down to a small amount and were gearing up for a big trip around the US. Two weeks before we were to pick up our Tiny Home, our builder called us and told us they were going out of business.
They went bust on us and on July 15, 2018 we picked up our incomplete Tiny Home in Provo, Utah and drove it back to Ukiah, CA. We spent the next three months getting it ready to showcase at Bioneers conference in Marin County on October 18-21st. Whew we made it!
The picture below to the right showcases our Tiny Home on our way home from Utah in July. The one to the right is after showcasing it at WCS Talks conference at Google campus in Sunnyvale, CA.
As of December 2018 we are still in the process of completing the bathroom and plumbing in "Sierra" our amazing Tiny Home...stay tuned for the big reveal of our Tiny Home.
