Teach Nollaig. A Beautiful Humble Tiny Home On Wheels In Ireland's Kilkenny...

Noel Higgins from Ireland's Kilkenny has built a beautiful, humble tiny house on wheels that's a delight to the senses.
It's called Teach Nollaig.
Made from locally sourced materials including raw sheep's wool for insulation, it's one of the few tiny homes on wheels in Ireland.
Noel knows well the secrets to living well on a small income and walks the talk.
Simple living, freedom from debt and reducing living costs all go to making life simpler, happier and stress free.
He's knows that tiny house living is a move away from consumerism and there's less room to accumulate stuff that clutters one's life.
One feature I really like is Noel's simple method of water heating. He's created a wood burning stove made from an empty gas cylinder and wound copper piping around the flue.
Not only does it look good, I'm sure it works wonderfully well.
A fifty watt solar panel charging one twelve volt battery provides power for lighting, his laptop and mobile phone.
Teach Nollaig is a wonderful lesson in keeping things simple...

Here's A Smart And Simple Way To Get Up In The World...

I've been meaning to show you this really clever and simple ladder design for ages and have been unable to find out who made it or anything about it.
Until now. Thanks to Depatty who very kindly did a much more investigative search than I did and found out all there is to know about it.
Have a look here.
It's a great idea and ideal for tiny living situations with minimal storage space.
Easy for the Do-It-Yourselfer to make too
but I never said that...

A Home On Wheels. If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It...

Some homes on wheels to delight and perchance inspire you.
Some little, big and in between, housebuses
and housetrucks, homes on the road, full time or just for a few weeks here or sometimes there.
From the simple to the complex, there's something for everyone.
Life on the road, on a journey to somewhere.
If you can dream it, you can do it...
