Cousin Cook and his Tiny House



Cousin Dick and his brother, Cook
 
Five years ago when I came to the Netherlands, my cousin, Cook had renovated a tulip shed into a beautiful home and it was full of his clock collections. It was done under a government program to save old tulip bulb sheds. Cook had incorporated parts of the old bulb shelves and bins and had added modern parts as well.

During Covid Cook researched into Tiny Houses. Then he built a small model and finally the actual size tiny house.

The table has room for 6.

The table top is laminated with all the photos of the building process.

Cook and Frances' daughter, Tjesca is 14 years old.

Frances  helps with all the building and painting.

Modern kitchen with hideaway drawers and cupboards.

High ceiling and stairs to two bedrooms

The terrace windows and floor all slide back into main body of home.

Funny Cook!

He is a talented, busy, humourous  guy.
