As some of you know, I managed to make it back to the US for Christmas and the new year; it was lots of fun, and I'm glad I got to see so many of you while I was there! Over the break I got a chance to go to Huntsville at see a project that my cousin Chad works on at Nexus Energy Center. The Tiny House now resides at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville if anyone is interested. Below is a summary of some of the eco-friendly and high efficiency features of the Tiny House.

| Some energy saving tips from Nexus! |
 |
| One of the easier changes that can be made to your home is the style of window. |
 |
| Almost all appliances in stores today have an Energy Guide attached to them. It's an easy way to see how much they will cost operate. |
 |
| The Tiny House is outfitted with solar panels that power its electrical devices (such as the fridge and TV). |
 |
| The Tiny House is well insulated! This cutout portion of the wall allows those on the tour to see things that are normally hidden in a home. |
 |
| Yet again, buy appliances with the Energy Guide in mind! |

 |
| My favorite part is the rainwater catcher on the right side. |
 |
| The back end with another solar panel, gas, and air conditioner exhaust. |
 |
| The nice artwork on the other side! |
 |
| This is just a nice close up of a solar panel. I think they look pretty, and this picture makes for a nice desktop background. |
