I moved into a 10×48 two bedroom mobile home 3 years ago and live there with my three boys. It is just perfect for us and we are a much closer family. I own it free and clear and only have to pay a little for the land it sits on and a small ammount for property taxes. This is the way to live. Who really needs a 3000 or more square foot home. That just lets us lose touch with our own family that is right under the same roof.

Olá Carla,

É difícil comprar tiny house no Brasil. O que podes fazer é comprar as plantas e construir uma.

Sobre a resposta em português. Foi um pedido exagerado, já que o blog é em inglês.

Um abraço

I really love this trend toward small homes. I designed and built my own 530 sq.ft. home for under $20,000. Because the home is small, I was able to build the home entirely by myself and pay cash for all the supplies. Today, I have no mortgage and never will make another house payment. I am now passionate about the subject of small homes and have designed more small homes that I would like to build in the future. jmarple

This is not as new a movement as some would like to believe. We had family that lived in homes they made and pulled around back in the late 20′s and most of the 30′s. I found a YouTube video you all may like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rCZY5zR6zU&feature=related My family and I still have a Motor Home (26′ Class A) that we use as our home on wheels, but I think a 5th wheel is in our future. I do however want to build a tiny house or 2 on some land in New Mexico! Love the site!

Jay, Shay, Nigel, Greg & company,

Good day. Like many who have posted messages, I’ve been intrigued by the tumbleweed houses in particular for some time.

Reasons being your product is of good quality. A rarity in this cookie cutter neighborhoods whereas the wiring, foundation and a myriad of other reasons are VERY suspect.

My wife and I are frugal as it is. Due to our location we don’t possess a car, ride the trains, buses, bikes and unicycles weather permitting. This bohemian-like lifestyle enables us to vacation twice a year to any locale we please with ‘skies the limit’ type of amenities.

The 1 house in particular we have most interest in is the Sebastarosa model.

I notice tumbleweed owner’s testimonials, as well as Jay Schafer’s hone in on the EPU, Weebee and such models.

Is there any way you can describe or a poster who has such a model or know of someone put me in touch with said owner(s)?

Suffice to say, thank you for your time and wonderful ingenuity.

Take care and Merry Christmas to all.

Kind regards,

Paul

investigate steel stud framing. it will be lighter than wood and fire resistant. the materials are used in commercial construction.
