Steve from Tumbleweed recently informed me about a sale they are having on the Bodega Plans during the month of March.

This has long been a favorite of mine and my wife thinks that she could live in this one as long as it has the additional bedroom and loft upstairs.

This is not a home you would put on a trailer so you would need a piece of land and a standard foundation to make this a permanent home or vacation getaway.

I’ve seen the reworked plans and they are the best I’ve seen from Jay and at a great price too. I’m glad to see an architect rendered plan ready to take to the building department for approval and construction.

Here is what Steve says about the plans: This March we’ll be having a sale on our Bodega Plan. Until now, it still hasn’t been available on our website. We are excited about this new plan for several reasons:

1. We worked with an architect, who turned Jay’s sketches into a CAD drawing. This plan is ready to go to the building department.
2. We’ve added a roof plan after hearing feedback that people wanted it.
3. It will be available as a pdf download … yeah! instant gratification.
4. There will be a 261 square foot version,and a 356 square feet version with the bedroom addition.
5. Due to popular demand, the plans will feature an option for a cathedral ceiling or a full loft.

Sale price will be over 70% off. Normally $695. Now $199. Sale ends March 31. Click here to view more details.

Joe Chipman who we covered a while back in a post called Tiny Bunkhouse in the Woods has put together an ebook of his plans and photographs of his actual build of the bunkhouse and is now offering them for sale through the Tiny House Blog.

This 64 square foot, 8′ x 8′ bunkhouse also includes an additional 4′ x 8′ front porch. In his plans Joe walks you step by step through the process of building the bunkhouse via pictures and a short explanation.

Joe also includes plans for the bunkhouse beds and demonstrates how to build them. For quite a small amount of money and some hard work you can have a neat little bunkhouse or other type of outbuilding ready to move into and use.

Joe is offering his plans and ebook for $14.99 and you can buy them right here on this page or on the Tiny House Plans Page.

Michael Janzen is in the process of completing three new plans to add to his growing collection. He has a sneak peek of one of them over at his website Tiny House Design. Called the “Camping Cabin” it is still in a rough stage but completed enough for one of his readers to start construction on one.

One of the other plans Michael has in the works is a 12×12 cabin which I personally am very happy to see him developing. This is a design I was thinking about before getting sidetracked on a different design called the Sonoma Shanty.

I’ll let you know when these plans are available for purchase, so stay tuned.

Michael has been busy over at the Tiny House Design blog. He made a big milestone today and posted his 400th post. Congratulations Michael!

To celebrate Michael announced his new plan called the Tiny Solar House a Simple Do-it-Yourself Plan. He is starting a new series of plans and is making them very affordable. You can get your own set for only $9.99.

I’ve had the opportunity to preview the plans and in my humble opinion Michael should be selling these for much, much more.

Today is a milestone for the Tiny House Blog. This is the 500th post for the blog. I want to thank everyone for your support and loyalty to the Tiny House Blog.

As the Tiny House blog grows and matures, I am looking for more ways to make your visit worth your time. One way of doing this is by adding quality tiny house plans to the Plans Page.

Today I am adding another plan called the Simple Life Bungalow, designed by Architect Steve Williams for his sister Joejoh. Steve is offering a $25 discount to anyone who buys the plans through the Tiny House Blog. In order to claim your discount once you purchase the plans you need to email Steve at info@welovesmall.com and type in the message “Tiny House Blog” Steve will than send you a check through the mail.

Here is the Simple Life Bungalow Philosophy:

Times have changed. Small is not only becoming necessary, but also sensible, beautiful and liberating. The concept of The Simple Life Bungalow isn’t for everyone but it can be for:

• People of age wishing to have an independent life in a home of their own that can be built so cost effectively, that a mortgage won’t be needed
• Young single people who wish to do other things with their money than feed a mortgage
• People desiring a guest house or “Mother-In-Law” quarters on their property
• Families wanting a small and highly desirable rental property
• Those in need of a weekend retreat

The Simple Life Bungalow is a beautiful option because it is small, elegant and contains everything a person needs for a complete life. Because of its size it is affordable, extremely energy efficient and relatively easy to build. The classic Craftsman style is the ultimate in comfort and livability. The Simple Life Bungalow’s size makes it possible to utilize the highest grade of building materials for low maintenance responsibilities and pride of ownership.

Life can be beautiful with a minimum of possessions… Sufficient clothing, a desk for communicating, a good book and a warm fire… These are the things of real value.
