Save Thousands on Your Micro House Project

Kevin Coy recently sent me a video on how to save thousands on your micro house project. In the video Kevin explains that buy buying a used RV, for a small sum, and then removing the important internals such as: heating, air conditioning, kitchen appliances, propane bottles, shower, toilet, and hot water heater can save you a ton of money. Keep in mind, it is important that you are careful when removing these items, but think of how much you can save by repurposing instead of buying new!

Thanks Kevin for sharing your knowledge on the renewable way of buildin g a tiny house.

Micro House Office

Back in March Walt Barrett introduced us to his 8×8 Micro House. Recently they converted it into a garden office.

Walt sent me a video and some photos to show you what they have done in making the Micro House into a garden office.

The loft will be made into a sleeping area and he will send photos when it is completed. I really like the quality of the completed interior. It looks like a very nice place to work. I could see myself working here without any problem.

These micro home/offices are available as plans or as kits. Be sure and check out Walt’s business A to Z Global Marketing Inc. where he offers all kinds of great resources for the tiny house enthusiast, from solar power to lighting and everything in between.

Walt’s Micro Home

Kent Griswold — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:00:37 +0000

Walt Barrett President of A to Z Global Marketing Inc. has designed a Micro Home that he wants to make available to everyone at a very low price.

Walt states that the way things are going, a lot of people are going to need small affordable homes.

We built the model home ourselves stick by stick just to show people we knew what we were doing.

We want to start mass producing small homes, we added a lot more space up top by using the Gambrel roof in our design.

We have 128 square feet in the 8′ x 8′ micro on two levels. The home comes complete and ready to move in, with solar electric lights, shower, compost toilet and galley. The price for the unit is $9.995 and will be massed produced and can be shipped just about anywhere. We will also offer a precut kit at a much lower price.

We also offer a 46 page set of plans on CD for our 8′ x 16′ model with a full cutting schedule including all angle saw cuts and a complete bill of materials all on a CD for $495.00. These have been completed by a pro.
