Do you believe that you can do anything you set your mind to? Well, if you do, then you're going to love this story.
A single mom from Columbus, Ohio took on a lofty project in order to distract herself from her daily struggles. And this project turned into years-long adventure, which she and her family continue to enjoy. Let's find out more about this. Shall we?
She was also working at a job she didn't like. In fact, she struggled so much that she even attempted suicide when her son was 10 months old.
So when she struggled again later in life, she knew she had to ask for help. She found herself dealing with the same demons again, but this time she did something about it.
So she decided to channel that energy into something positive. She bought a 1.5 acre of land and embarked on an exciting project.
Being a mom of three, she never had much ability to take her kids anywhere, so this place was going to be the escape everybody needed.
Granted, she got some help with the structure of the house, as well as electrical, but that's about it. All the rest she did herself. Well, her kids helped too, hehe.
But then she fell in love with the tiny house movement, and she decided to make it into a 192-square-foot home instead. It only cost her about $30,000 to do so, too, plus the $70,000 she paid for the land.
And in the end, the home she created brings her and her family lots of joy. The entire place is also a collection of memories as her children helped their mom with many aspects of building it.
As she single-handedly built the home nail by nail, she stresses that the process literally changed her life. It was a way for her to get out of her depression and find purpose again.
It really amazes me what people can accomplish when they set their minds to do something. Have you ever embarked on a project that was hard at first but, in the end, it actually made your life better?
