Tiny House Blog

It has two 8×8 lofts, one in each end with an open 6′ section in the living area.

Amanda brought to my attention the Pocket Suites in Winnipeg. The Pocket House model is a recent development aimed at alleviating one segment of the affordable housing need in Manitoba.

The study concluded that construction of new buildings on scattered narrow infill lots would fit well with the City of Winnipeg’s inventory of vacant lots in residential neighbourhoods.

Each building is two storeys high and has 8 units each with separate entrances, private washrooms, and separate ventilation systems. Each Pocket House features three barrier-free suites and one fully accessible suite on the main floor, with four other suites on the second level accessible by two outside staircases.

Two weeks ago I ran a post about Tiny House Meets in your area. I received lots of great responses and I wanted to update you on my plans to help in this area on the Tiny House Blog. Following are some changes I plan to make to the blog in the near future.

1. Events Calendar: I will create a page to post events such as workshops, meetings, etc. I need your help in letting me know what is going on in your area.
2. Ads Page: Featuring Craigslist ads, Ebay ads, etc. Some readers don’t like the daily posts to be this type of ad so I will try to keep this page current, so please keep them coming. I know I like to see what is available out there.
3. Tiny House Forum: The Tiny House Forum will be coming under the wings of the Tiny House Blog and will be tied in more directly so you can converse on ideas in a forum format.
4. Location of Your Tiny Homes: I want to create a map of some type (this is still in the noodling stage) showing where tiny homes are located and people who are willing to show them via an open house, or group meeting.

These are some ideas to start with, the Tiny House Blog is an ever evolving blog but the goal is to keep you updated as best I can in what is going on in the Tiny House World. Please continue with your suggestions and help me make this a better place.

Joe Chipman who brought us the Bunkhouse plans and later The Hermit has just introduced The Hermit DeLuxe plans. Joe is in the process of building The Hermit DeLuxe a tiny house on wheels which measures 8′ x 20′. He will add construction photos to the plans when his tiny house is completed.
