Deb and Ron are high school sweethearts from Pennsylvania who fell in love with being grandparents. When work and life moved their daughter and her family to Alabama, daily visits lessened to a few months out of the year, and living around the corner turned into 13 hours apart. With the help of Alabama Tiny Homes, Deb and Ron were able to convert a shipping container into a lakefront tiny home that provided a safe and cozy space for them to enjoy their retirement and be closer to their family.

If you’re curious about living in a shipping container, interested in off-grid tiny homes or want to hear more about Deb and Ron’s journey to lakeside Alabama — watch our video!
