Bryant’s Little House

by

It is so much fun to see people I know get involved in the tiny house movement. Recently Bryant Goodwin, the best friend of my former boss at Cable Car Classics, Inc. and a fellow co-worker emailed me and asked me to come see the little house he is building.

Bryant with his background of building cable cars is taking his skills and building a tiny house out of reclaimed materials. His base for his home is extremely unique. Using a reclaimed mobile home chasis and modifying it to the 8 foot width and than using steel road rail guards he has built an extremely robust base for his tiny home.

Bryant is also using reclaimed cedar, redwood and other materials all through the construction of his tiny house. He is just starting on the interior and I will be doing updated posts as he moves forward. Bryant is building this home in Santa Rosa, California and his shop is real easy to find, right off of the freeway. Bryant also plans to build many more of these. If you would like to see his little home contact Bryant via email at: sumguy2008@yahoo.com

Jason’s One of a Kind Tiny House

by

*Note Jason just sent me more photos (6-24). He is completing the interior. Stay tuned!

Jason contacted me recently about a house he has built and wondered if I would share it with my readers. I personally am inspired by Jason’s creativity with this home and thought you might enjoy it also. I am however going to turn it over to Jason to explain the build, so here is Jason.

The build took about 2 months from start to finish. We had a blast building it. We have had so much positive feedback on this tiny house, I think we will see more of this type of living in the near future, as a lot of people want a way out of the old wasteful paradigm of living, less is more in my mind. With no big mortgage to strap you down, you can have more time to do the things in life you really enjoy.
