FAQ

Some common questions:

​

Where will you live?

I will be renting parking space in friends or families driveways. They can decide if they want to keep the rental payment or donate it to my supported charity as I am pretty much off grid.

​

Is this your actual home?

Yes, this in my primary residence for the year. I won't be spending 365 days exclusively in it as I have weddings to go to friends and family to visit and other events to attend which would require me to sleep elsewhere and thus would be impractical to drive everywhere at 45km/h.

​

Will you be driving it everyday when you are using it?

This was a tough one to decide on and after doing some reading and mailing a few people who are living the tiny house life it was noted that packing up your home everyday to transport it, or to run an simple errand, is very tedious and time consuming, unless traveling. A vehicle/bike/motorbike was recommended as an additional form of transport for getting around. I've decided to keep my motorbike as an transport option for now but will be using the tuk tuk as much as I can to increase advertising visibility. 

​

Where will you shower? 

There are shower facilities at my work. This is convenient during the week. On weekends I have a solar shower to warm up water or can heat it with my gas burner, alternatively I can jump in the pool or have a bucket bath. :-)

​

The awkward question people ask. What about going to the toilet at night?

I have a pee bottle that I can use if needed, clearly marked "this is not lemonade", as well as an emergency plan for a number two but should hopefully not have to use it as I am in an urban environment and there are plenty of public places available. Being mainly based in an urban environment its interesting to explore what it can provide for you and what your would consider as essential.
