Walt Barrett who developed the Micro Home has a new invention called the Barrett Solar Pump that will be developed to help bring water to Cambodians and others around the world.

The unique design allows solar-power to harness the stiffling midday heat and generate kinetic energy and draw water from shallow wells.

The water will also be used to bring water to homes. “We can use the pump to draw water from the wells into a water tower, where it can be treated. The water is than distributed to households for their daily use,” says Mr. Perrin, a full-time executive member of the Green Earths Concept.

Walt is very excited about this and says it is in the process of going into production. He will supply pictures and an update in the near future. Congratulations Walt!

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.
