The tiny house project at Lake Eufaula Campground has in many ways been a labor of love. It starts with the love of creating something- having an idea and seeing it come to life. Those of you that enjoy woodworking, crafting or sewing appreciate the creativity involved in competing such a a project. A project well done is a work of art. Art is food for the soul.
This project in particular involved bringing the family together. Whether it was sharing expertise related to carpentry skills or collaboration on interior design, each of us played a part in bringing this little house to life. We imagine who might live here and how each part of the design will meet their needs. We are focused on the details and building something that is beautiful both inside and out. Our world, especially online, is filled with images and information. Building this house is something concrete- something to share with others.
Soon we plan to have an open house for the community- with social distancing of course - and there will be online videos. We are discussing how people can try it out for a weekend retreat or options for renting longer term. Given all the projects involved in running a campground, the house took longer than anticipated to complete, but it did come in on budget. It has several interesting features from a conduction stove top to a modular air conditioning system. The porch design provides for more functional outdoor space. The lot on which it currently sits is midway between the pool area and the back fishing ponds. We want to showcase it's design.
As to next steps, if you are interested in tiny house living please contact us at the campground. We are discussing the option of putting together a tiny house village on the property. We have space in mind and our team would love to build more tiny houses. To anyone new to RV camping a RV is your home away from home. Life is less about stuff and more about location. It's a shared experience. Tiny house living takes that option to the next level. We have found that what we heard about living in a campground is true. It's not your big house that is the center of everything- your pool is in one location, your porch someplace else and living outside is a major benefit. Rick likes to point out that wherever you go is where you are. While that is certainly true here's hoping you love where you live.
