  • When you find your match.

    When you find your match.

    So as many of you are probably aware, for a few years now I’ve been searching for a partner that complimented me well. I’ve not had much luck in my last few relationships but this girl, Mykle. Let me tell you. She gets me like no one else has. She and I both work 2nd shift right now which works at well because we go in and get off at roughly the same time each day. I’m not stuck waiting on her to get home each day for hours on end and vice versa.  

      The best part is though that she allows me to thrive in my hobbies, reading, listen to podcast, geeking out with tech. And while she has her own and I fully support them I’m not use to that level of support. She’s helped me work on my tiny house, she’s encouraged me to work on it even when I’m tired. She pushes me to do better for myself even when I’m running low on steam. And amazingly she doesn’t force me she just gives me that extra push of motivation that’s needed. Honestly in the 7 months we’ve been dating I really feel like we’ve grown together a lot and can’t wait for the many more memories we will make together. 

  • Tiny House update

    I didn’t get to grab a picture yet but over the weekend I stayed in my tiny house with my wonderful girlfriend Mykle. Her father gave me a window a/c unit when we were in Alabama so I installed it and have been using the box fan for circulating air. However this weekend I finally installed my ceiling fan. It doesn’t sound like a big thing, but I’ve never installed a ceiling fan or even wired on up. I’ve watched people do it but never really did it hands on. So I was excited that I was able to do it myself. I also was pleased that I was able to add a longer downrod on my own and didn’t need to ask for assistance. I was able to install the ceiling and 18 down rod but simply reading the directions and knowing a little bit about wiring electric outlets. I cheated and youtubed how to wire a light switch and it functions as expected.

    To be fully liveable I feel I need to install the final window of my desk in the office and to install the insulation in the walls of my office and add the staircase to the loft. Once that is done I’ll finish the floors put down some paper and move furniture in. I will then start working on my walls.. Deciding if I will do paneling. What I’m considering or If I will do paneling. I’m thinking I may do drywall on my walls but I haven’t decided.

    Any thoughts leave a comment. But share nothing but love. For now Mykle and I are going to keep working on it together.
