Scott Stewart has another park model he wants to share and offer a special price to Tiny House Blog viewers. I’ll turn it over to Scott to explain to you about this one. The pictures tell a lot too.
This unit, as nearly all the builds we do, was a custom build for a couple in the Springfield, MO area. It is a park model type of cabin built on a steel frame with axles and bumper pull hitch. It is 10′ wide and 28′ long and has a studio style layout.
I’ve shown several of Scott Stewart’s homes here on the Tiny House Blog and Scott is making two of these homes available at a special price for readers of the Tiny House Blog. Please check out his work and let me know what you think.
The Slabtown Annemarie tiny house measures just over 8′ wide to be a road legal move, it is a total of 22′ long including a 6′ covered porch, the 6×8 porch is a very usable size allowing full size chairs including rocking chairs. It has two 8×8 lofts, one in each end with an open 6′ section in the living area.
The bathroom includes a full size 32″ fiberglass shower stall with hand held sprayer, full size toilet, pedestal sink and custom stained glass window with a small screened opening.
The kitchen includes a double stainless sink, apartment size gas range, full size fridge, more overhead cabinets can be included than what is seen in the pictures.
An 8’ x 16’ custom-built Western Saloon building, complete with a front porch and metal roof. The porch railing encloses the entire front porch and is removable on both sides, as well as the front center section. The building was built in December 2008 and is in like-new condition. It has been stored on a trailer and only used to store household items. It has 2×4 side walls 16” on center with aspenite (OSB) sheathing covered with cedar clapboard siding. The roof is 2×4 rafters with aspenite sheathing and covered with blue metal roofing.
There are no windows, but they can be easily added. The floor is made of ¾” plywood with 2×8 floor joists 16” on center. This building will make an excellent storage unit, work shop, or play house. Finish the inside and add electricity, etc., and you have an external office, tiny house, or great hunting camp. $4500.

Jenine Alexander my friend and nearby neighbor in Healdsburg, CA is building her second home with the help of a friend, Amy Hutto. I had the chance to stop by the other day and see the progress and it is coming along really well. They are offering it for sale and it will be ready by mid August and here is what Jenine has to say about the home.

About 15 years ago, Robert P. O’Neil of Concord, Massachusetts spent a month building this “truck house” for himself and his longtime partner, Susan to live in while they built their half-cape house. He built this tiny abode to originally fit his 1949 Ford F6 dump truck, but it is now mounted on a flatbed trailer which is towed by his Ford F350.
The house is 8 feet by 12 feet, weighs 3,600 pounds, and has cathedral ceilings to fit Robert’s 6 foot 6 inch frame. It has a bead-board ceiling, true divided light windows, a cedar shingle roof, oak threshold, pine floors, queen sized bed up on a platform, and a closet. The house has what Robert calls a “non-integrated” kitchen: a small refrigerator, a wood shelf and a hot plate. Because the kitchen is not built into the house Robert said it has the opportunity to move and change.
In celebration of summer and for Kent heading off to Hawaii, I thought I would do a post on these vintage style trailers by Dayton Taylor and Vintage Trailer Crazy. Part trailer, part Woodie station wagon, these 19–(Any Year) Woodie Love Bugs can be manufactured to match your tow vehicle, birth year or whatever theme you want…including “Surf’s Up.”
Each trailer is 12 feet long and weighs 1,200 pounds. They are custom made with hand built oak and birch walls and cabinets. The Vintage Trailer Crazy design team will consult with you to create your custom Woodie Love Bug. These trailers are built new from the ground up, but use VIN numbers from vintage 1930-1950 trailers. Over 500 man-hours go into the production of each little trailer. They cost around $12,500 and Dayton told me that they sell a lot of them, primarily because of the popularity of smaller trailers.
