  • Moving the Mini-Mobile Cottage

    Jeff and Arlene have completed their tiny house and have pulled it up from California to Seattle. After a safe trip the house is now sitting in its new space in Ballard, the neighborhood in Seattle where they have settled. The house design is a Tumbleweed Fencl and you can see construction photos on their blog.

  • Pot House

    I’m really trained and educated as a potter so when I saw this tiny house made from a giant piece of African pottery I knew I’d have to share it with you this week on Tiny House Living. Be sure to read more about it at Shedworking.

    Oh and for those of you hoping to see a Tiny Hemp House, I’ll keep my eyes open for one of those too.

  • Simple Panelized Shelter

    Some recent news about the Sacramento Police rousting a group of homeless folks from their temporary tent town got me a bit riled up last week. Being someone who likes to take proactive measures when trouble brews I set to work on publishing a simple panelized structure that could be built as temporary housing for all sorts of needs including homelessness.

    In addition to working on the house for Khayelitsha I’m working to revise the plans of this smaller shelter so that the walls, floor and roof will also be made up of individual 4′ by 8′ panels. This size is ideal for transporting in a pickup truck with the main draw back being that it uses a bit more lumber to construct. Keep you eye on Tiny House Design this week for the revised plan.
