I would live to attend if I could figure out what you mean by messaging in the community. Does this work?

You’ll learn what equipment to use and what to avoid, how to find the proper load calculations for your specific situation, and how to operate a solar system.
Here is the link to the Google Sheet.

This was a great round table event. I was bummed out cuz my laptop ran out of power and I was not in my office and didn't have my power source. I think it is definitely something to be repeated. I would suggest a moderator for each table to keep the conversations lively and engaging. Maybe even a subject matter expert assigned to that table. Thanks for putting it on; well worth repeating!

Another similar platform that I have seen used that had zero tech issues is
Remo Conference. https://remo.co/guided-tours/
Aw man...I had such a lovely answer typed and then my computer restarted. Well...here it goes...again. ;)
It *was* a fun time!!
What I liked most: It is wonderful to be able to reconnect and continue to build relationships with those who we've met at past events. It's also really great to meet new people. Having pre-selected topics/tables makes decision-making fairly simple. The length of time (though I'm sure we all could have talked longer) was great for this type of event...especially when it leaves us anticipating the next time. I liked that questions could be posed separately from the main chat.
Possible improvements: The limitations of technology exist...when multiple people attempt to speak at the same time, hearing the conversation is more challenging on-line than in person. Some individuals experienced connectivity issues and felt the frustration that accompanies those challenges. It might be nice to have a host at each table to help keep the conversation moving - and balancing time for each participant (so no one/two take over). Also, so talk starter type of questions might be helpful. Wished I could make the table full screen (maybe I just missed it), but it was only partially on the screen and depending on names/info, faces were covered because the screen was small. Would be nice to see both the chat and questions simultaneously.
Nice to see and try out a new platform. Looking forward to the next one!

What an informative workshop! Really helped dial in our load calculations!
To help dial in your load calcs, you can use handy devices like this Wattage Calculator!

Hi Tiny Fam!
Manon Verijdt was kind enough to share her E-Book with all of us! It's all about ways you can start your tiny house journey without actually owning a tiny house yet.
She translated it from Dutch into English just for this community!
You can find the E-Book here.
What tip was the most helpful for you?
