Natural hazards, accidents and crime all pose potential risks to most glass systems existing today.Fortunately, there is a preventative solution that can greatly reduce the risk of human injury and property damage – GLASS-GARD.<br /><br />The installation of GLASS-GARD safety and security film offers protection to people and property.<br /><br />Click Here..<a href="http://www.prodigywindowfilms.com/" rel="nofollow">Glass Gard</a><br />prodigywindowfilms.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375676246686730846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968422166354177600.post-81253679496857671432014-08-22T09:27:27.764-07:002014-08-22T09:27:27.764-07:00You're welcome! :) but thank YOU for sharing y...You're welcome! :) but thank YOU for sharing your adventure with all of us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968422166354177600.post-84466913380800415202014-08-18T04:57:45.387-07:002014-08-18T04:57:45.387-07:00Awww!

Thanks so much for the kind words, the encouragement and the complements! It's so cool to know that people around the globe are following our story and rooting for us! Thanks so much for reaching out and giving us a little boost when we needed it. :) Best of luck to you in your future endeavors with tiny houses! I think tiny houses are the WAY TO GO when retiring! I'm sure we will move into a more traditional type house when we begin a family, but I have a feeling we will return to this way of living when all the little birdies are gone from the nest! :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813996944930712618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968422166354177600.post-76320706750625017102014-08-18T04:54:14.740-07:002014-08-18T04:54:14.740-07:00Chris!

It's cooler at that time and it shouldn't be that strenious when the sun isn't bearing down on you. I'd also double check if things are being done right so you won't have to do over it again, such as what happened with the solar panels. Solar's the way to go, and once everything's finished, you'd be glad you had those put up! Good luck!<br /><br><a href="http://www.solarconcierge.com/" rel="nofollow">Deanna Walsh @ Solar Concierge</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17763477121688342800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968422166354177600.post-30478920492984807202014-08-14T19:12:23.464-07:002014-08-14T19:12:23.464-07:00I am so excited every time you add an entry into y...I am so excited every time you add an entry into your blog that I LOVE.

It means a lot to know that people have been following along and drawing inspiration from us. I still feel like when we first started- we had maybe 4 readers and they were my family! Haha It feels really good to know we have such a great community now. We are going to try and focus on small steps once again. I need to be reminded once in a while- even thought many of my first posts were about taking things one step at a time! How quickly we forget when we are in the thick of things.

I'm sure you will have it done in time! We did something similar where we finished our lease in October of last year and needed to push hard to have it move in ready. It's amazing what kind of a pace you can keep up when you know you're going to be booted from your current place! haha And thanks for the tip on finishing each day. I like that approach and I'm going to try going with that.

This process is crazy stressful and you need space to just feel that, I know I do. Our build has to be finished by Novemeber, we plan to live in it by snow fall. So I hear ya, it is so consuming and overwhelming. But, you are doing! I had a fellow tiny houser tell me to not focus on finishing projects but focus on finishing each day instead, which has helped me, especially when we are behind "schedule".

I won't be doing it for a few years, but I'm looking forward to all of it. Hearing everything, ups and downs, frustrations and triumphs, have been just what I needed. We're all human. We all have emotions, breaking points, etc. (And I really like what "anotherkindofdrew" said.) You've accomplished A TON! You've grown as a person too. Smile.

We fired up the generator, plugged in the flood lights, and kept on going. It was a lot like college. We had coffee and some snacks and we got giddy with laughter from being so overwhelmed. We drew things on the studs inside so we (or someone) could possibly find them years later. We made shadow puppets. I even got to see my dad moonwalk on our platform. Trust me Jess.
