  • 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!

  • Bill’s Tiny House

    Bill is building a tiny house based on one of my tiny house designs. You can download the free house plans at Tiny House Design. He’s building the 8×16 Solar House.

    He posted a bunch of photos of the interior work recently on Facebook and it’s looking great. Eventually Bill plans to move his tiny house up to Alaska (from California) and spend some time chilling out.

  • Tiny Solar House

    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
