Bill Brooks is making great progress on his tiny solar house built from the free house plans I offer on Tiny House Design. It’s especially exciting for me to see one of my designs come together. When Bill is done with this house he plans to take it on an extended trip up to Alaska. Follow Bill on Twitter

Tiny House for Rent in Washington DC
If you’re looking for a place to rent in the Washington DC area you might want to check out this tiny house. The interior space is 252 square feet and will be available starting November 1st.
I really wonder why more landlords haven’t jumped on the tiny house bandwagon. It seems like there would be a high demand for small studio apartment sized individual homes.

Drop In Haus
This is an amazing (and bizarre) idea. It’s a complete house that is dropped inside a much older ruin of a house. Instead of renovating the old home just slip a new tiny home inside and voila you have a new home with the flavor of an old dilapidated one. All kidding aside, this is really cool and worth some time exploring.

Bunker Eco Hostels
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and have some very fond memories exploring the old bunkers on the Marin and San Francisco sides of the Golden Gate Bridge. Today many of them are welded shut but when I was a kid they were still open and fun (and dangerous) to explore. I often imagined what it would be like to convert these concrete structures into homes and little villages.
So when I saw this article on Inhabitat describing how someone is putting together a proposal for reusing these old bunkers in Albania I knew I had to share it with you.

Urban Rancher – 4 Walls and Roof Framing
The Urban Rancher is making excellent progress on his tiny house and it’s still early enough in the process to see how everything is going to go together. Over the Columbus Day weekend he put up his first two framed walls. He then moved onto the other two walls and now has roof rafters in place.
