Winterizing Your Tiny House

When To Start: While the start of winter may differ by region, it's generally advisable to start winterizing your home in early fall. Taking proactive measures during this time ensures your home is prepared for the cold season ahead. By confidently taking action, you can protect your home from potential winter-related issues.

Propane: To prevent propane from freezing, wrap your tank with a heat blanket. Install a heat blanket around your electric water heater as well. Keep your Tiny House above 68 degrees to avoid freezing. If you're going on vacation, keep the heat running. Skirting around your home in winter helps keep it warm underneath and reduces cold weather pe*******on.

Pipes: Make sure to insulate exposed drain and water lines under your home. Proper insulation prevents freezing and potential damage. Protecting your pipes is crucial for their longevity and functionality. By taking this proactive step, you can have peace of mind and avoid costly repairs.

Water Hose: One effective way to prevent the freezing of internal water lines in your house is by connecting a heated water hose. This simple addition can provide a constant supply of warm water, ensuring that your pipes remain free from ice and your water flow remains uninterrupted.

Ceiling Fan: Did you know that running your ceiling fan clockwise can actually help improve the comfort level in your home? By doing so, you can effectively pull down warmer air that tends to accumulate near the ceiling, distributing it evenly throughout the room. This not only helps to create a more pleasant environment but also reduces the need for excessive heating.

Air Quality: When it comes to tiny houses, it's important to pay attention to air quality. Due to their compact size, these homes can sometimes trap air pollutants, leading to potential health hazards. To ensure a safe and healthy living environment, it is essential to regularly check and test smoke, carbon monoxide, and propane detectors. By doing so, you can stay confident in the safety of your tiny house and protect yourself from any potential risks. Another benefit would be to have a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) to bring in fresh air and to exhaust stale air. This method allows the heat recovery ventilator to provide proper ventilation throughout your Tiny Home while at the same time requiring less energy for heating.

How To Prepare Financially And Mentally To Go Tiny

Your Wants Vs Your Needs - This is the emotional part because it's sometimes difficult for people to downsize and depart from their attached material items. A Tiny House is a much smaller space than most are accustomed to, but still provides enough space for the things you really need in life. You will have to come to grips with yourself by disciplining your mind as to what is practical for your life.

Your Debt To Income Ratio - This is what banks and credit unions look for when considering a loan application. So you will have to work at getting your finances in order and lowering your dept. Research all your debt and total it all up. If you owe a bank, try negotiating with them to maybe get a lower interest rate to help you pay it off quicker.

Lower You Monthly Overhead - It's time to hold on tighter to your money and using it to pay down your dept. This is all the common sense stuff, the truth is it works and we all need to hear this from time to time. We need to discipline ourselves from spending are hard earned money on every whim. We need to live below our means and not above. It's cheaper to eat at home than to eat out all the time. Instead of the expensive coffees maybe get it out of the pot at work or make it at home. Research products and prices before you make a purchase. Be patient and buy items when they go on sale. Make a budget for yourself. The point is cutting back now will definitely pay off in your Tiny House future. Keep in Mind that once you acquire your goal of living tiny, you will be more enabled in life and enjoy a lot more financial freedom.
