Nate & Jen's House - Exterior

I previously posted pictures of the inside of the house where Nate & Jen are living. Here are a couple shots of the exterior of the house.

Eventually, as they can afford it, the front porch will be screened in and will extend their living area. During the hot summer months, with no air conditioning, it will be a protected outdoor area to catch a breeze, hopefully!




As you can see, the roof is tin. It is also where they get their water! Rainwater is collected in the rain barrel, then pumped up to their holding tank. Then it is gravity-fed into the house. There is no water heater.




The stove and frig both run on propane. They have a small solar panel that runs the pump and also provides a little electricity for their needs.
