On one of my visits with Bill Kastrinos of Tortoise Shell Homes, I noticed a new small structure sitting off to the side of the Tortoise Shell Nursery.
Bill put me in touch with Malcolm Davie who has just given me the go ahead to go public with their new product. I will let Malcolm tell you more about his new product that I personally think fits in as a new option for a tiny house space.
