22 Tiny House Questions Answered in 22 Days With A Builder – Day 3
Alex: How much experience did you have in construction when you started building your house?
Aldo: I have 10 plus years of doing small carpentry projects, so I knew how to use the tools and had a certain amount of confidence with them.
I’ve taken part in the construction of a house, but never built one entirely by myself.
My father was a carpenter and I grew up watching him do work so that certainly helped too.
That said, at each stage of the journey I had to learn new things and I have a willingness to do that.
You can learn more about Aldo at his blog www.goldthreadtinyhouse.blogspot.com.
