Tumbleweed Tiny House Company has posted their 2011 workshop calendar. These workshops are taught by Jay Shafer and span 2-days where you learn how to design and build a tiny house of your own. You can choose to attend both days or just one. I have had the privilege of attending one of these workshops and I learned a lot and highly recommend them to anyone serious about building your own tiny home.
Day one focuses on the construction process where you learn about topics like the tools you’ll need and the special needs of a house that can be pulled down a highway. Day two is focused on tiny house design where Jay goes into detail on how he makes tiny homes comfortable and functional.
You can learn a lot about what it takes to build your own tiny house online, but taking a workshop from someone like Jay can really help fill in the gaps and I found it really worthwhile. Visit the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company website to learn more and register. Here are the dates and locations:

No ATL? Ugh. I have been anticipating the release of the new dates hoping Atlanta would be a location. It seems like Nashville or Orlando are our only logical options. So I ask, are there any other Tiny House folks out there in the ATL region? Does anyone want to join me in petitioning Jay to come down south to us? Let me know. Stop by tinyrevolution.us.
Cool, a location 20 minutes from me. Drop by Jay and I will show you some of what I am working on. Will feed you if you drop by.
