Wall Tents
In my internet travels this week I ran across wall tents and thought they looked like great low cost temporary housing solutions. I was especially interested in the little low-cost stoves they sell, but sadly they are not intended for indoor cabin use… just for wall tents.

Taunton’s Book Sale
One of my regular readers, Malcolm, pointed out to me this past week that there’s a great book sale going on over at Taunton right now. These are the same people that put together magazines like Fine Homebuilding and a lot of items are 50% off. Thanks again for the tip Malcolm!

The Simple Life in a Yurt
One of my regular readers, EJ, passed this New York Times story onto me. It’s a wonderful simple living lifestyle story of two people starting a family in a remote part of the world. Their home is simple, a Mongolian-style yurt with no running water and a 3 mile walk to the nearest store in Seldovia, Alaska. Photo credit to Stuart Isett for The New York Times. Thanks again for passing this onto me EJ!

Shed Building at Fine Homebuilding
Today I watched this great video series on shed building at the Fine Homebuilding website. The only downside to the whole experience is that they require you to provide a bunch of personal information to join their 14-day free trial. I’m not sure if I’ll keep the membership after 14 days but I must say the videos were great and worth the hassle, in my humble opinion. They also provide a free download of the 10-page shed plans and the original Google SketchUp file.

Ebersolt’s Wheel Room
Here’s a really cool tiny space designed by French architect Gilles Ebersolt. It was inspired by a wheelbarrow and intended to be used for spending a night outside in the greatest comfort. The walls are light curtains. Be sure to explore this architect’s website… there are many tiny structures like this one. I first saw this on This Tiny House.

One of the tiny house projects I’ve been following this past year is the cabin nicknamed Yonderosa. The latest blog post is a great summary of all the progress made on this tiny house in a remote spot up in eastern Washington.

Cabin Project on Kickstarter
An ashram and farm is being built just outside New York by a group of young urban farmers. The plan is to offer workshops in the near future and they are raising money on Kickstarter to build a guest cabin for attendees. I wanted to share this because Kickstarter is a very interesting way to raise money for projects. I also want to thank one of my readers, Mark, for tipping me off to this project.
