Bill, I would love to hear from you, I have a small little piece of land in Laguna Beach and in Big Bear I’d probably need a custom exterior to fullfill all the CC&R’s

Thanks everyone for the kind words. We are doing our best here at Tortoise Shell Home. One thing though, we really don’t see ourselves as a competition for Tumbleweed, just a fellow builder. They build high end homes, we are building more entry level homes. They build “BMWs”, we build “Fords”. Different markets. And I believe there is going to be an explosion in small house demand, so we are all going to have plenty of work! Thanks Kent, have a link posted on our website now pointing here.

I love this company. My husband and I will be visiting Bill in July! Hopefully, we can purchase one of the tiny homes by December. I can’t wait to see these little homes in person.

Thanks for the excellent post! Your blog is excellent. I check it everyday.

This is pretty good. I saw the Model 1 before, but I like this one a little better. So long as Bill keeps it up, it looks like it’ll be competition for the Tumbleweeds. I see that this company is based out of California also. I know there’s one company in Texas, but is there any similar tiny house companies based somewhere out in the east coast?
