"Katrina Cottage" Offers Affordable Housing

Hello all,... Gabe here. Sorry that we have been so truant in the bloggi these days. We are settling in nicely but the days weeks and months just fly by. Well, I just wanted to share something with you all.

Last week, Dad Craft sent me this link about the "Katrina Cottage":

The Katrina Cottage "creates a cew niche"]


Well, being so intrigued by the Katrina Cottage, I did a google video search and was happy to see that Farmer's Almanac TV recently did a very nice segment on the little home that has been such a big hit. Check it out below (if the video gets choppy just pause it and wait until the "buffering" is finished). You can also click the google button on the video to view it full screen.
