The Houses: The Horizon
September 23, 2018
  
The Horizon sits on a quiet hill top overlooking TE property. Although, you may not notice it at first when you come in as it’s tucked in within the trees, but if you look up and to the right, you really couldn’t miss this stunning little house. 

The Horizon was designed by Lynn, and she worked on it for many years before she decided on her final plans for Liberation Tiny Homes in Lancaster to bring her design to life. She has a custom 375 sq. ft 32’ long and 8.5’ wide design, giving her a first-floor bedroom and loft for guests as wells as ample living space. Lynn was gracious enough to share her personal photos of the interior of her home.

Owning her own traditional built home for about twelve years, Lynn decided that she no longer wanted to live for her house and her belongings, but live her life for her, and downsizing was going to allow her to live that life.
A local woman per say, she graduated from Lower Dauphin High School and Messiah College, but Lynn was originally from Wisconsin, a “cheese-head at heart” she says. She lived all over the country and most recently, in Hershey, before settling in here in Elizabethtown.

When we asked Lynn how her life had changed since going tiny, she had this to say:
“I hoped for peace, and I have found it. Tiny Estates sure is peaceful. I’ve been living in my tiny house at Tiny Estates since mid-June and I have found that I have time for myself now and time for the important things like family and friends. The weekends are relaxing and fun, instead of filled with cleaning a large house and loads of laundry. Instead I can relax and spend time with people who matter to me.”

I can imagine this is the life most are hoping to get from going tiny, she said it quite well, and it’s amazing that she is living the life she set out to live and seeing first-hand the benefits of downsizing. Lynn is hoping now that she’s made this lifestyle change that she will travel the country more and make some international trips including visits to Italy and Greece. 

Lynn is just one successful example of what going tiny to can do to change your quality of life. More free time, no more cutting grass, shoveling snow (for us North Easterners), cleaning a huge house, repairing roofs and furnaces. The list can go on and on. Having the time to focus on yourself, your loved ones and those who matter most in life, well, that’s what life is truly about. It’s a different type of satisfaction you get when you free yourself from what’s holding you down. It’s time to enjoy more of what life has to offer, like new hobbies, traveling, volunteering, gardening or whatever brings your personal joy. Lynn found new life on (in) the horizon, who knows what's waiting out there for you.

The Horizon is a private home and not available for rentals.

The Houses: The Low Country September 9, 2018  Many of you maybe already familiar with the Low Country. It made a quite an impression when it arrived here at Tiny Estates, and for good reason. This tiny house has big personality and lots of rustic style. Built on a 39 ½’ gooseneck trailer, this low country rustic timber home has plenty of space with 379sq ft of space to call home. When you open the custom wood door and walk in, you get a beautiful aroma of fresh cut lumber. Everyone walks in and takes in a big whiff, breathe it in, it’s awfully nice. You’ll be amazed at the custom-built wood cabinetry with built wine glass holder, granite counter tops and full-size appliances. If you ever wanted to try tiny, but thought you couldn’t handle a tight space, this is the house for you! Custom wood floors, walls and ceilings lend a masculine feel to the interior with rustic touches of décor throughout. Custom bucket light shades and a fabulously tiled and stone bathroom

The Houses:   The Skyline The Skyline is one of the newest additions to our already great lineup of tiny homes.   But if you are looking for something a little different, this house has some great unique features. 274sq ft doesn’t seem like a lot of space, but you will be surprised at how well this space has been designed.   It sleeps up to 6 people with two queen lofts and a fold out sofa. Both loft spaces are unique with two different and unique sets of steps to access the lofts. One loft has walk up stairs that wind along the wall and up to the sleeping area with a queen bed.   The other has a different type of stairs that almost appear floating, those are pictured below that leads to the loft where there is a custom live edge wood piece that serves as an artful headboard and queen bed.

30amp vs 50amp, What do you need? Wiring and electrical issues can be overwhelming to someone who doesn’t have experience installing wiring in a tiny house.   We recommend you use only experienced and licensed electricians who have experience wiring a tiny house and knowledge of the NEC (national electric code) guidelines as well as local regulations.   Local regulations will come into play if you are planning on having your tiny parked in one spot all the time.   Tiny home policies and regulations are not the norm yet but have been adopted and put in place in some areas for your safety.   So make sure you do your homework and know all the necessary policies regarding your home. 30 to 50 amp adapter When you are building a tiny house, you need to thoroughly communicate with your builder what your needs are as far as appliances and what types of things you will be operating that will draw electric.   Most good and well-seasoned builders are going to know what amp s
