  • 10×16 Tiny House “Shed” in Vermont

    Rich in Vermont built this tiny 10×16 shed. This photo was taken in 2013. Here’s what he said when he posted the photo.

    I’m done with clapboard! Well, not entirely, but I need a couple of doors on the shed before that can happen. The second coat of paint is on, but the trim paint won’t be done until next year.” – rich2Vermont

  • Steve and Kassie Frith’s Tiny House

    Pictured here is one of two houses featured in the linked article from the Yakima Herald.

    Across the Yakima Valley in Tieton, Kassie and Steve Frith are just settling down in their own tiny home, towed from Omaha, Neb., in mid-July. They relocated because Kassie will begin her first year at Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences.” – Yakima Herald

    Also from the same story…

    Samantha and her husband Robert, 29, started building their tiny home around Thanksgiving 2014. The 8-by-24-foot trailer that serves as the base makes the footprint of their living space just less than 200 square feet. They affectionately named their home SHED; partially because of its size and also because the project is about “shedding the superfluous.”” – Yakima Herald

    A grandmother named Monica Smith worked on her tiny 8 x 10 shed in her back yard. Her neighbors laughed when they realized she was converting it into a tiny cabin. It was very strange that she was putting so much effort into this small space. However it was not just a hobby this grandmother had a plan.” – Kent
