Emily Gerde is exploring with Brian Eck and Tucker Roe the ever-growing Tiny House Movement. Brian is the owner of Eck Architecture. He is building tiny homes for his clients and knows that fiancing, insuring and finding a good place for the home are important issues. He is negotiating with several banks right now to make it easier to get financing for the built.   We love your support!

RV regulations are not sufficient for what the tiny house movement stands for - to have homes people live in permanently. Parking is still a real problem and many find that they need to park far from the city which adds a daily commute and all the cost associated with that to the affordability consideration. Eck is working with banks to try to find financing for their clients. The loans typically will not be 30-year loans but need to be paid off in a much shorter time period. Regulations are good for the consumer as well. Many builders are starting to offer their services and it is hard for the future homeowners to know who is legit and who is not. If there is a regulatory body, they at least will know if a builder is part of a quality control organization. If a tiny home was built to certain standards and inspected during the building process - then financing, insurance, and eventual resale are all easier. What about the DIYers? Having guidelines and inspections - the stamp of approval so to speak, will help the DIY builder to be accepted into a community or a mobile home park if that is their choice. Tiny Houses: An investment opportunity. Use it as Air B&B or participate in HipCamp. Or an investor could build a tiny house community and either sell it or rent it out. How do you see the future? Hoping for strong regulations to bring it to the larger community. The hope is that politicians will recognize the movement as a way to bring affordable housing to their cities. Allow a tiny home to be part of a large property or even be parked in a driveway. For many, home ownership could become a reality. Eck is specializing on figuring out what the particular person really wants and needs instead of cramming everything in.

Celebrity Chef Mark joined the show to give us some tips on summer cooking. Chef Mark gives a reason to have a thanksgiving dinner in the middle of the summer. Emily Gerde of Tiny Home Connection explained what insipired her to start living in a tiny home with her family. Emily also tells us the benefits in living in a tiny home. We close out the show with our "Ask the Expert" segment. 

Emily Gerde jumps into a quick podcast to share her insights on Baby Led Weaning. In a nutshell, baby led weaning is when you start your child on real foods first and you skip the purees. Every child is different and has different needs so Emily also gives ideas for those who want to start with purees first. She discusses extended breastfeeding, best practices for starting baby on foods, when to start and ways to keep baby safe and healthy. Whether you have an infant at home or have a friend or family member with a little one, Emily provides insight on the years of research and professional advice given to her by holistic healers and doctors. Baby led weaning is a great way to ensure your child starts their food journey on a positive note and has a lifelong love of healthy eating. Great Resources: http://www.babyledweaning.com/ https://kellymom.com/nutrition/starting-solids/solids-when/   Marianne West shares her experience of child-led weaning and the trials and tribulations of introducing food to the babies. Allergies played a big part in the childhood experience of her oldest son and food choices made a huge difference.   Support us on Patreon for as little as $ 1 per month and see our exclusive video clips of the lives of the podcasters and urban homesteaders.

“Before knowing anything about tiny houses, I walked around my 2,200 square-foot home and was like, ‘Wow, this room is completely empty besides, like, a chair. I have this space that I’m heating and cooling and I’m not even using it.” Is it time to rethink the ‘bigger is better’ mentality? This week’s guest says yes. Emily Gerde is an author, tiny home dweller + advocate of the tiny home movement. HGTV featured her tiny home search; today; she and...

Emily and Art geek out on all the options available for tiny house construction. Both are in favor of clear regulations so costly mistakes can be avoided. Lots of tips and facts for anyone interested in the Tiny House Movement.   Post by Emily Gerde:   I had a wonderful interview with Art, where we discuss all things tiny houses from a builder's perspective. Art mentions tiny homes being one of the great options to minimizing our environmental impact due to the few materials, utilities and space needed for them in society. Art started gaining construction experience in his youth working with family businesses, spending the summers working on roofing, siding and other construction on the east coast. Since then, Art has gained invaluable knowledge and experience in many different facets of construction.  Art has experience with concrete and pier foundations, wood and steel framing, outdoor structures, decks, complete renovations, building additions, geodesic dome construction, and now – building the best Tiny House Shells you can find. Art is the builder for Einstyne Tiny Homes, and a geek for “building science”, airtight construction, green building and always striving for ways to ensure the greatest quality builds for the customer. sArt is an avid animal advocate and loves spending time with his pets, volunteering with animal organizations and is very excited to bring this event to Adams County Fairgrounds for a second year.   We discussed the ways in which tiny houses are a sustainable option for the future by using yes utilities and more efficient heating and cooling, as well as green construction. Art recommends looking into Building Science White Papers to keep up to date on best practices and resources. Find more info here https://buildingscience.com/.  When thinking about building a tiny house, Art recommends taking the time to be in a tiny house, and talking with people who are living the lifestyle. Whether it's a camper or a tiny house, get an insiders perspective and ask lots of questions. Art builds shells and often has a model available for people to step into, but he highly recommends getting into a finished home to get the best idea of what you want in your design. We both agreed that tiny house festivals are a great way to step into several tiny homes, get to know several builders, and network with vendors.   We discuss the exciting future for the tiny house movement and how many builders are moving to IRC codes that specifically align with Appendix Q. Having standards to follow is a great step in the right direction to ensure tiny home builds are safe. We dive into the discrepancy of pricing with tiny homes. Art explains that material quality is the key. Material costs have increased creating a jump in building costs. He explains that there are also differences in cost depending on your location and energy codes.  There is a misconception that tiny homes construction is easier but Art explains why that isn't the case.   Art goes into his passion for the DIY crowd and ways he can provide a safe and up to code shell, while still allowing for the creativity and lower price of finishing your own home. He is an expert in air-tight construction and explains on how important air quality is for any home. We dive deep into insulation and the best green options and how to best insulate for your situation. Art has great tips on gutters, siding and ways to keep the weight of your tiny home down.   We go into the details of the Colorado Tiny House Festival, including what to expect, how many tiny homes will be available to tour and activities to enjoy. I (Emily) will be speaking at the festival and discussing how tiny living has changed our lives forever! Art will be there representing Einstyne homes so be sure to check him out! Art finishes up with some wisdom to not give up on the tiny house movement. He asks that you get involved in your local community and meetups to work towards getting tiny houses legalized and build beautiful communities.   You can find more about Art here http://einstynehomes.com/   And More about the Festival here http://coloradotinyhousefestival.com/

Pia and Claire are new voices who are joining The Sustainable Living Podcast. Pia will be talking about sustainable travel and Claire about homesteading and aging. Both will have regular segments in the future. The New Voices on The Sustainable Living Podcast As you know, there are new voices at The Sustainable Living Podcast. When Jenise decided to give up podcasting for now, I got excited about the idea of adding a variety of new voices to our program. Sustainable Living is such a large topic and many of us are trying our best to become knowledgeable about the many aspects of creating a more sustainable life. But try as we might, we always will know more about one aspect than another. Adding new voices with expertise in different topics seems like a good idea. For the past weeks, you have heard from Emily Gerde who loves Tiny House living, is a mom of a young child and promotes the minimalist lifestyle. Today, you will meet two new voices who will be regulars on the podcast. Meet Pia Piscitelli When I first met Pia Piscitelli, she had just returned from a week-long Climate Reality Leadership Corp Training. We had been online friends for a while and Pia was also a listener of our podcast.  Of course, we had to schedule a workshop right away where Pia was going to share what she has learned at the conference. This is how we advertised the workshop: Community by community, we are demanding action on climate change. Join us for a workshop on its impacts, solutions, and what you can do to take action. That day, it turned out that Pia was giving a workshop for one - me. But that was perfect since we had time to talk about our goals and our work on and for this planet. A couple of days after our meeting, Pia set out on a journey East to give Minneapolis a try. That was last summer. Fast forward to now and Pia has lived through a winter with ice and snow and got inspired to start a podcast of her own and a sustainability club!! How great is that! But wait, it gets better!! She also agreed to be part of the Sustainable Living Podcast.She is one of our new voices. We are so happy to have her! Pia will be contributing a monthly segment on sustainable travel. In this episode, you will hear the very first segment - all about the rent-a-bicycle programs which are sprouting up all over. Find out about Pia's podcast and the club on her website.  Her new enterprise is called the Greenie Group. I had the great honor to be one of Pia's guests on her podcast and hope that you will give it a listen. Find our episode here.

He is an RN at the hospital "near" us, almost an hour away. We have 2 grown children and 5 grandkids, and 5 cows. About ten years ago we moved to the boondocks and we have been trying to live as self-sufficiently as possible. We have dabbled in permaculture, aquaponics, fodder feeding and many more innovative gardening concepts. It has been an incredible journey, lots of blood, sweat, tears, and laughter, and we even learned a thing or two along the way. We are nearing "retirement age" for my husband now, and so taking a long, hard look at the reality of growing old and homesteading. We need to make some changes... we invite anyone who is interested to tag along as we wander along! Claire has become my friend via a different social media platform called steemit. she blogs about homesteading, of course, but also about her other interests such as gold and silver, singing kareoke with her husband and much more. Find Claire's blog here Her name is fishyculture on Steemit.   Please tell us what you like to hear on the podcast. We always love to hear from you.

Zoe became a Yoga Instructor when 17 years old. She had practiced from an early age and Yoga helped her to deal with a stressful childhood. She used to have severe stomach issues caused by anxiety. After beginning her Yoga practice, she did not suffer from that anymore.   Emily Gerde conducted this interview and wrote: I had the pleasure of interviewing Zoe Who Erickson. As a recent graduate from Northwester Health Science University, she displays wisdom beyond her years and inspires us to live sustainably through the mindfulness of yoga. Zoe became a yoga instructor at age 17 and since then she has mastered her craft with unique class structures, meditations and individualized instruction. She notes Eckhart Tolle's books as a catalyst in bringing even more mindfulness into yoga and allows her to live in the present moment, rather than the past or future. By doing so she has been able to heal herself and assist in healing her clientele by embodying living in the present.   Zoe reminds us that age does not matter when it comes to making your dreams come true. She encourages youth to put themselves out there and practice makes perfect. Taking small steps to accomplishing your goals and using mentors to guide you is key to success. We discuss the different types of yoga and how they vary and which ones serve which purpose. From more intense yoga to restorative yoga, you will get an idea of what yoga works for you. Zoe and I compare at home yoga and classes and the benefits of both.   With Zoe's new adventure in Chinese medicine, we dive into nutrition and how her past of counting calories turned into simple, clean eating. Taking a relaxed attitude with your diet. She encourages us to listen to our bodies and enjoy the ride instead of stress about every little calorie. By eating whole, unprocessed, organic food and being sure she gets in her vegetables and fruits she found herself in better health. Zoe continues to enjoy teaching yoga at Lifetime Fitness and is looking for more wonderful opportunities in the Twin Cities area. You can connect with Zoe on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/zoewhoyoga/ or on her Lifetime Page.

"The Peacemaker taught us about the Seven Generations. He said, when you sit in council for the welfare of the people, you must not think of yourself or of your family, not even of your generation.

Emily, her husband, her child, her dog, and four cats moved from a 2000sf home to a 325sf tiny house. They never were happier and found freedom from debt and freedom to do the work their heart desires.   Can you imagine moving your family from a 2000 sf house to a 325 sf tiny house? Emily Gerde and her husband could. And they did. In many ways, that was a radical act. Emily didn't grow up dreaming of living in a very small house some day. On the contrary, she followed what many might call the American dream: Go to College, fall in love, get married, buy a house, and have a child. Sounds great, right? Can you see the happy family in their big house, relaxing, entertaining and in general having a good time? Well, the reality for Emily and her husband were working two jobs each, and him going to Grad-school on top of it. They hardly ever saw each other and didn't have any time to enjoy their house or yard. Emily's health started to suffer. Being busy and stressed all the time manifested a hyperactive Thyroid. Then, one day, Emily's sister in law introduced them to the concept of the tiny house. Their ears perked up and right then and there, Emily and her husband decided to find out more. Luck had it that they were able to visit a tiny house not too far away from them. That visit sealed the deal. They loved the tiny house from the minute they stepped inside. It didn't feel small or cramped or claustrophobia-inducing. On the contrary. That tiny house felt like a home to them. Comfortable. Like a place that they could live in.  to read more and see many pictures and videos, click here Reach Emily via social media
