Did you know that THE121 is completely self-contained? This is one of the many reasons why I wanted to go tiny. Being green and “off-grid” was and is very important to me.

My mother and father graciously delivered my kitchen sink and faucet today to THE121 and of course while they were there, I had them check on the progress!

AND….WE HAVE BRAINS!

THE121 will be powered by solar which will be stored in these Honda batteries. When the sun isn’t out or…it’s winter (let’s be honest, I live in Pennsylvania) the propane will also serve as power. Do you notice the ceilings lights are in and on?!

The cold and hot water pipes are in! The shower is actually quite spacious! If you look closely you can see the composting toilet on the right hand side of the pic! Wandering how a composting toilet works? Don’t worry that will have it’s own post later…!

What about the water? Where does that come from? The house will be equipped with gutters which will pour into the 500 gallon storage tank under my bed which is pictured above. The house is equipped with a state of the art UV filtration system so when the water comes out of the faucet it is pure drinking water.

So a big thank you to Bonnie and Mike for delivering the kitchen sink and faucet today! I was so excited to see the progress and I hope you are too!
