Yes. Melissa is such a great role model for how to work hard and be smart with your money, and how that is exactly what determines how your life turns out. A refreshing alternative to today's victim narrative that sadly some people try and teach our children.

Such a meaningful experience to be apart of your home build 💗

[@NinthAszaszin]

I've been inspired

[@jimmoses6617]

I am one of the builders. The interior wood detail (stairs, trim) is all avalanche-killed Douglas Fir from the Silverton, Colorado area that a local miller in Silverton (Rusty) sold to me for next to nothing as it was secondary and had imperfections. Much of the other wood is 1930s-era tongue-and-groove pulled from an older house I owned in Prescott. I am building another tiny house at my warehouse in Prescott, Arizona. If interested let me know. Thanks. -Jim :)

It takes considerable time and effort to source reclaimed materials. Lots of time pulling out nails, cutting to size, sanding, etc. As a builder, it's actually more expensive when you add in your time to use reclaimed materials like this, contrary to what many people believe. :)
