Yes, the day has finally come...we have inhabited the screen house. We decided to go low-tech: no power source and no running water. We use candle lanterns for lighting, a cooler as refrigerator and a Berkey cistern for water. As we gear up for the Tiny House build, the screen house has become our refuge, our socializing spot, our work room—and we even bought cots to try it out as a sleeping porch.

I love this! Now that the build has been completed for a couple of winters, were there any specific things you decided to do to winterize the screen house? Hi, Dee. Thanks for coming to the blog--great question! The last couple winters, we've put plastic film over all the screens. It lets us use the screen house more of the year (just cutting out the wind and trapping a little of the daytime heat really changes the internal temp) AND it keeps the snow out! We'd love to invest in more formal "storm windows", aka plexiglass panels. But we haven't found an affordable source for that yet! Leave a Reply. |
