Since 2010 tiny housers have been building and living all over the Southeast region. From the La Petite Maison of Sicily Kolbeck to Dan Louche of Tiny Home Builders in DeLand, Florida to my wife and I and our Tiny r(E)volution, there has been a growing presence of tiny houses … Read more
A couple years back I had the privilege to visit with and talk to the folks at Camp LeConte about their safari tent camping experiences available for nightly rental. The safari tents are available in four configurations offering different sleeping arrangements for your specifications. Each tent offers ample storage with closed and … Read more
Back when Obama was transitioning from a state Senator into the POTUS and 20th Century Fox tried to pass off Liam Neeson as Hannibal, my wife and I donned our tool belts and safety gloves to build our own tiny house on wheels. Before the undertaking I vaguely remember cobbling … Read more
Allow me to be frank. I am an easy consumer. I’ve never met a point-of-sale item I didn’t want to pick up and walk away with. I’m the guy that goes to IKEA and opens my wallet for the overflowing bin of plastic 3-piece kitchen utensil sets for just $2.03. … Read more

As an author I am no stranger to controversy. I don’t go out looking for trouble but I also try not to filter my inspiration either. In just the past two months I have written about Steve Harvey and the way he upset the tiny house community, the ways in … Read more

Granted, I literally wrote the book on making a brand of yourself in the tiny house market, I advocate for shameless self-promotion over any sort of product endorsement. Sometimes though a company and/or a product … Read more
On a trip to the bookstore some years back I stumbled across a well-known magazine that completely caught my eye. My wife and I were living on my parents land in rural, middle Georgia and we were gardening, raising chickens, cooking in an Earth oven, taking solar heated showers, etc. … Read more
