I think this is an awesome idea. My husband and I love the Lusby!

@Baggers. I’m in the UK, and seriously considering building my own version, a cross between the lusby and the Weebee. The problem is finding somewhere you can park them for extended periods. I’m living in central london now, but possibly moving nearer to kingston, still difficult to find a place. I’d plan to use a composting toilet, rainwater capture and solar panel for power, staying completely off grid so wouldn’t need hookups anywhere, just a place to park.

Currently looking into the laws here and cost of suitable trailers. I’d be doing it on a budget and with as much recycled materials as possible.

Hey Brian,

Thanks for the report from Seattle. I will be attending Jay’s workshop next weekend in the San Francisco area and am really looking forward to it also. Glad to hear about such a great turnout up north.

I am just back from day two of the Tumbleweed House tour in Seattle. Wow. So many people with so many great ideas. Jay is so good at sharing his knowledge in a friendly and accessible way. No pretense. Total openess to hear the ideas of others.

We had people come from the Seattle area, of course, but we also had people from Canada, Montana, even someone in Seattle on leave from working in Qatar in the Middle East.

And thanks to Habitat for Humanity, as they let us use their wonderful facility in Seattle.

Thanks Jay and all the classmates.

Yes, the Lusby will be my choice too. I’m looking for land now, and hopefully can save for the Lusby within a year. Time to start paring down.

Seems to be quite a few people who like the Lusby. It’s my favorite too. I think my wife and I could get along quite well in it. I’ve only seen Jays Epu and it was great but this is a little larger and I feel two people would be more comfortable in it.

I’ve set my heart on the lusby and though I may have to modify the designs slightly to be able to suitably handle English road laws I hope to make this after I finish university.

Any other UK tiny house builders around?

I love them too. Next year….when hopefully my townhouse goes back up in value, I’m planing on contacting Jay to build me a Lusby Home.
I have already downsized my living space to one room and have gotten rid of tons of STUFF that I’ve been holding on to since 1998. This was easier than I thought.
