RE: Living in a Tiny House With Kids
How insulated is your home? Do you travel to warm climates so that heating is less than a concern?
Homeschooling seems like the right choice these days to raise children to be independent and free thinking. Great job @catherinebleish!
The heat is a bigger issue than the cold. We have a propane buddy heater. In the summer the metal bus becomes a hot oven, so we are used to inside temps in the 90s, I hope to travel north for summer this year to avoid such high heat!!!!
If we removed some windows like other bus conversions it would be more insulated. We have insulation in the walls and floors, but definitely could be imoroved if we were to start from scratch again.
When it was below freezing last week we used the buddy heater during the day and heater blankets at night.
At least in the warmer months, you can spend a lot of your time outside. :-) Of course, in a small space it is easier to heat in the winter!
P.S. We don't have AC in our old farmhouse, so I understand HOT summers. Even with the fans on in every room, afternoons are usually "cooler" outside.
Take care and stay warm!
