♥ I liked that one …
except it’s not long enough …

Thanks for your comment Debbie, I like it too, as is even but a little longer would be better especially for two. Happy holidays!
I noticed on his blog that Jonathan talks about problems finding a place to “park” his Fencl. Two questions, (1) is it b/c it’s the equivalent of parking a mobile home (which often requires special zoning) and (2) can the Fencl be built on a slab foundation or piling and avoid building permit requirements b/c it is less than 200 square feet?
Hey Aili.. I think you have the right idea. It’s an unusual thing, a tiny house on a trailer- so it is challenging to find a place to park it although you can do it at most RV parks and some people’s backyards many times. It can be built on a foundation if it meets “shed” requirements for that location, which is different depending on your location. Sometimes it’s 100 sq ft or less. Other times 120, just depends. Hope this helps!
Hello i really liked the Fencl and this is the one that i’m thinking on building.
Why did he needed an secund heater the gas on isn’t enough?
Not sure about that second heater Luis.. I’ve been in Florida my entire life so I wouldn’t know but maybe it saves $/propane during certain times?
I saw the solar panel i don’t think that he is connected to the electricity
Yeah- not sure why. Guess it might be able to run off solar maybe?
He lives in Michigan.
It’s C-O-L-D up there!!!
