Hello Speeds, thanks for sharing your adventure with us! LOVE your house I do have some questions, I am wondering what you would recommend for people like us who would love to build a home like this in San Diego where land is not easy to come by… Also, was the 55,000 exclusive of land cost? Thanks!

[...] right now, and we both feel it is too much space for just the 2 of us. Ben and Sarina Speed built a modified Enesti in Maine where they live with their young son. They use wood heating and have a very cheap electric bill. [...]

Hey folks. It’s the Speeds here. If you have any questions, let us know. After seeing Jay’s domicile, we do not feel like our house is small at all. In fact, we are quite pleased with the space we have. We are forced to get rid of something whenever we buy something new, but that is a good thing, we think.

Jay modified the plans for us, but Sarina did modify them further to suit our needs. We are adding a 6 x 8 mudroom that is framed up and weather proofed. Off of this mudroom we extended the gable roof 8 additional feet, and created an open shed that stores our firewood underneath for the winter. Besides that we don’t have any plans to add on in the near future.

You can check out our website at:

Go to the blog to see our first post on our house. We will be adding more, and we’ll be sure to check here periodically. We enjoy the designs that we have seen on this blog.

I did get it verified from Tumbleweed that this house is a modified Enesti.

Hi Jonas,

I based it off of the Tumbleweed site. http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/testimonials/

I have emailed Jay to find out for sure. I think the Speeds modified the plan to fit their needs.

If you compare the photos and the Enesti plan it’s not the same.
Theirs is a square 18×18 and the kitchen/living area is open to the roof, Enesti is not.

Hi Jeff,

The house is based off of the Tumbleweed Enesti plan. I have added the floor plan above and you can get more information by clicking on the Tumbleweed link above.
