Hello and welcome to this bonus [book club] episode of Candid Tiny House!
It’s a special occasion because one of our DIY builders, Lou Southerden, who you might remember from Season 1 Episode 4, has written a book about her journey of building her tiny house on wheels.
TINY: A Memoir About Love, Letting Go and a Very Small House tracks the story of Lou’s DIY tiny house build in the Northern Rivers area in NSW and the love relationship that she was in at the time.
Fred and I had the privilege of reading the book earlier this year and I have to say that what stood out to me was the realness of her accounts of both building as a DIYer and the honesty of how she lets us in on her relationship, as it suffered massively during the tiny house build and eventually lead to the relationship breaking down.
In this interview we hear about:
- Writing about the tiny, in the tiny house
- Themes of building as a female DIY builder in a male-dominated industry
- Moving her tiny to a new location
- Site preparation, costs and moving details
- Council regulations for tiny houses in her location (Ballina Shire)
- Writing as a personal process of healing and integration.
Book links:
TINY is out on 30th July 2024 through Hardie Grant publishers.
It’s hugely relatable, beautifully written and well worth a read!
