Off the Grid in a Tiny House with Kathy & Matt McMillan

#009 - Can you see yourself living off the grid in a tiny house? 

Today I’m speaking with Kathy and Matt McMillan who are tiny housers from the mid-North Coast of NSW.

Kathy and Matt have been living in their pre-loved tiny house on wheels with their dogs Chloe and Webber since April 2021. 

Their tiny is parked on the property where Kathy grew up, on Dunghutti Country in the Mid North Coast hinterland of NSW. 

The family appeared on the "Too Much Stuff" episode of ABC’s Compass program in July 2021, which is still available to view on ABC iView.

In this conversation we talk about:

• Why Matt and Kathy chose to buy a pre-loved tiny home instead of DIY building
• Their off-the-grid set-up including what they do with solar, water, a composting toilet and management of greywater
• Financing a tiny house
• How living in a tiny house connects you to everyday life and nature
• Some misconceptions they commonly hear about tiny house living
• Plenty more!
