| Blue tiny house ready for its close-up, October 2017 |
I was lucky enough to find the tiny house site prepared for photography last week. The people who are responsible for building these tiny houses, at the corner of Showground Road and Racecourse Road in Gosford, had a professional photographer there to take photos for their website.
The site supervisor was kind enough to let me in to take my own
photos (thank you very much :) ) rather than having to take them through the
fence as usual, which can be tricky.
This blue tiny house faces the old Gosford High School, across
Racecourse Road, and it looks lovely in its sky blue paint and with its doors
open and the veranda ready to be enjoyed. Inside, we can see the kitchen and,
on the right, what must be the door into the bathroom. The living area and loft
bedroom must be on the left, where we can't see them.

| Small but compact and liveable, October 2017 |
A closer photo of the inside of the blue tiny house. Small but compact and liveable.
These houses have been allotted to some of Gosford’s most needy
and no doubt they’ll be very appreciative of them, especially with the cost of
housing in Gosford being pushed up by housing price pressure in Sydney.
Sydney is just a fast train ride to the south of Gosford. From
Gosford station to Circular Quay, on Sydney Harbour, is just 70 minutes on the
commuter trains. It takes much longer, in peak hour, than that to drive from
one part of Sydney to another.

Work is still underway on the other 3 tiny houses on the site.

| Work on unfinished ramp into Common Room, October 2017 |
The ramp leading up into the Common Room, in the middle of the site, is still being worked on.
The main reason these tiny houses are being built at a fairly
slow pace is that they’re being used to teach construction skills to some of
the unemployed in Gosford.
