When I was a child, the children's rooms were only heated once a week in the winter with a tiled stove. That meant that we children slept in our feather beds with hot water bottles and bed socks. There were often frost flowers on the windows in the room. But we were hardy and never had colds.

Suggestion: a lot of camper vans have a bed you can store stuff under. The bed frame is on a lift so that you can grab a handle at the bottom of the bed and lift the top of the frame and the bottom of the frame is a huge box where you can store whatever you want. Huge space saver!!!

Hi, have you considered building a lean to veranda on the front and side of the cottage? Some outside shaded living space and perhaps an outside cooking area? I know it would add some time to your building schedule but I’m thinking it would be difficult with heat of the summer inside quite a small space.

I think you've made the best decision regarding not having a woodburner ... I used to sell them, and have two myself, and they need a lot of space! It's not just the stove & flue but the tools, kindling & the wood store. Plus in a small space they can create quite an unhealthy internal environment without very specific air management. Liking the layout, especially the staircase design 😊

Exactly, it’s not just the space for the burner itself but the clearance around it & all the extra stuff you listed. Where space is at such a premium, it would be wasted 8/9 months of the year

HI there. Thank you for sharing your plans. The design is a great use of your space. Not sure you have considered these additions. I have seen them in tiny home builds. 1. some of the stairs can be fitted with drawers to use the space behind the stairs. 2. marine (boat) heaters are tiny and can heat up tiny spaces. Thanks again, love watching you on your journey. :-D

Loved this weeks episode folks and the new layout looks amazing. I am certainly not a builder so this is more of a question than a suggestion: Where the shower is going, could you not lower the floor so that you would in effect step down into the tray to gain more height for Ricky? Your stonework looks great Victoria. Looking forward to the next instalment now.

It’s basically just because of the drain under the shower. When we replace the concrete floor we’re going to explore the possibility of digging down a little but not sure if that’ll be possible.
