My husband and I used to love doing DIY projects together and we were looking to buy a fixer-upper to renovate. After his death, the plan had to change as I did not have the know-how or courage to do it all by myself. I initially started researching tiny houses to fit my tight budget but found a company called Lambuilt that uses alternative building methods. With their help, I got to build my small dream home. With loads of second-hand buys and some brand-new, it is still a work in progress, but everything I dreamed of.
