While at the Coeur d'Alene Street Fair, we stepped inside our first tiny house. We have been interested in these, for obvious reasons, but never inside one. I believe this particular one is just under 200sqft but has everything you really need to live comfortably. While speaking with Frank Genetti, the owner of Light Works, he invited us to come check out his facility where they build these homes.
Before our tour, I researched the company and found the most amazing things about it. Light Works is not your typical home builder. Not only is he building homes that will change the lives of the purchaser, he's changing the lives of his employees and those in his community. PLEASE, please take a few minutes to read this brief article that explains this fantastic, social enterprise. I believe you will be just as inspired by Frank's vision and business plan as we are. And if you're in the market for a tiny house, his are built to order with customization options, highly competitive pricing, and you'd be helping create a ripple of good fortune that will be felt by many. A mutually beneficial purchase.
Here the kids are checking out a few of the homes in various stages of construction.
They spotted the one from the fair. I wish I had taken a photo of the outside
when they had it all set up with a wood deck around the entry. It looked like a cabin.
While in CDA, we took a couple trips to Washington. The first was to a children's even at Cabela's where the kids got to shoot a REAL arrow with a bow, they had been wanting to do this for some time. Asher even managed to pop a balloon target! It was about a week after this that we bought their little set at the fair.
We participated in the fishing/casting clinic, and then the duck races where
the kids had to shoot the ducks with water to propel them to the other side.
Another day we drove to Spokane. We had planned to visit the science center, but it was closed on Monday, ah! So we read
at the library for a bit. We discovered the book "Press Here" and it made the kids laugh and laugh and even surprised me!
The view of the Spokane River's falls from the library enticed us to get out and explore.
We soon found ourselves running thru Riverfront Park.
The perfect place for an impromptu session on handstands as we work our way up to front handsprings.
There's even a section of the park with amusement rides!
Walking the bridge over the Spokane River.
