Fortune Cookie Advice

I'm going to gather some thoughts here about my tiny house. Today I got this fortune in my cookie and it feels like a sign. Like a real legit sign or I'm taking it as such. One day I hope to look back on this fortune cookie moment and see it as the moment when I knew I was going to do it and it was all going to work out. That I would be happier with simplicity.

Here is a link with several links to tiny house options. 

Here is my favorite builder right now because he's original, builds with upcycled material, and thinks about sustainability. Plus he's practically in my back yard. My one concern is his style is not modern AT ALL and Foy is attracted to the sleek lines and simplicity of a modern style tiny house. He also likes all the hidden spaces or things with dual uses. 

This is more along the lines of the modern lines he might like but they are pre-fab and set in stone. There is no originality plus they are price-y and a bit smaller than I was thinking. 

Here is another option on that same link with several options. These are also prefab and lacking in originality though. :/ 

What has been to forefront of my thoughts about moving forward with this has been 1. Why are we doing this? 2. What do I NEED? 3. What is going to make us fail?

1. I think (to me) the reasons for living tiny is (listed from most important though they are all good reasons): money (being free of debt, having more free money for other things), putting people before things (do we need this room), I hate cleaning (less to have, less to clean, less to spend money on, less to maintain), going green (compost toilets, solar energy, growing our own foods, sustainability), and going off the grid has it's perks if we could manage it. 

2. I'm going to need internet and my electronic devices (phone calls, texts) but I can live without tv. I need air conditioning, electricity, a way to bath/shower, toilet and some form of running water. I'd really like to have my own room even if it just consists of a bed..and I'd like a door. 

3. We moved out of the RV because the RV park was being ridiculous about the kids going outside alone and about rules (like you couldn't put your swimsuit on the back of the RV). And air conditioning. Our poor air conditioner was working overtime and barely working. Also being cooped up with Ezra for a long time was basically hell. He hated the RV. I plan on lots of time outdoors one way or another. I guess we'll see…

Most of all I'd like to give myself a break and say if we do this as long as we can sell it even if it's in a few years we basically didn't lose our money and hey, we tried it.

I just want to try it...
