The interior space is relatively clear, and I hope to keep it that way, having thoughts about alternative storage solutions. I am determined not to create the caravan or narrow-boat galley look. I have space, and want to keep it that way. I have ordered a Twingle from the Futon Company however, having previous experience of their superior mattresses. This will make a two-seater sofa, a chaise longue, or a single bed for those who can't climb the stairs or do not wish to share a bed with the person who can.
Last night I climbed those stairs and slept in the house myself, deliberating on which way round to sleep. In the end, I put my head in the dormer window, woke at five and rolled over to marvel at the panorama of the dawn over beach, sea and mountains. And today the local builder came to connect the water and gave the whole thing his seal of approval. I value this. There are detractors, who can't wait to see it blow away (it won't - this was a serious consideration in the basic design spec and a no-brainer), or who just think It looks unusual (good!), but it has been embraced by this small community which pulled out all the stops in abysmal weather to get it safely on site. So thank you Mark and Jen for making the journey with me., because there were times...
I'll continue to post developments as the interior space develops and the exterior is landscaped to look less like a sea of rock and mud. Current plans suggests, however, that I'll be up and running in mid August, so if anyone fancies a short cheap flight to Inverness, a hire car, and a break in one of Europe's remote places, do let me know (kingpm@btinternet.com). And calling all astronomers, this is one of the dark places of Europe and Tiny House has spectacular unimpeded views, especially to the North.
