Beginning as a series of letters between Saul Rip and his high school Coach and Mentor Bill Kemp, Running and The Gospel uses the lessons and strategies in distance running to create analogies to the gospel of Jesus Christ. These analogies form the framework for inspiration and connection that prove that even under tremendous opposition, friendships can be preserved, and excellence in character inevitably leads to excellence in every other aspect of life.
This book includes the recipe for building a championship-worthy cross country team, full of coaching tips, goal-setting methods, lessons, and workouts.
This book took from 2015 to 2024 to create. The purpose of this book is to empower anyone with the interest and desire to build his or her own tiny house, whether that be on a trailer, or to transition a tiny house on a trailer to a tiny house on a foundation.
The resources generated by Saul Rip in this endeavor is to create an alternate pathway to home ownership or rental properties using tiny houses as the platform. The hope is to enable untrained individuals to have all the information they need to self-perform every aspect of construction. Saul Rip has partnered with experienced professionals with decades of experience in the construction and manufactured home industry to provide these detailed plans. These plans include schematics for framing, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, propane, and casework.
Note from the Author:
Building a tiny house on a trailer is exciting. Building a tiny house on a foundation is even more exciting. I have done both. The conversion of a tiny house on a trailer to Real Property on a foundation is extremely rewarding and worth all the effort that it takes to do it.
As soon as a tiny house on a foundation can shift from the 8’ width to 14’ width, something magical happens and the space becomes remarkably livable. The space-saving techniques of tiny houses on trailers give exponential returns when placed on foundations and the spaces are expanded beyond the limitations of the RV code. Once on a foundation the tiny house becomes a cottage, and they are absolutely lovely spaces to experience. The payoffs continue as you enjoy simpler living, more time for things that really matter, and an asset that you can use indefinitely for yourself, or as a rental property. If you have opted to build a tiny house on a trailer, and later want to put it on a foundation using Appendix Q of the IRC, then this book can help you with that also.
In the purchase of these plans, without a doubt, you have invested in the best tiny house plans available. With the time investment it took to generate them, it is more than likely no one else will endeavor to create a product this comprehensive. Why did I go through all the time and effort to do that? My goal is simple: I wants to give you the greatest opportunity to succeed at building your own tiny house. You can do it. It is possible, and it is worth it.
