In thumbing through the pictures of this building I noticed the rafters were assembled using a familiar technique and I figure someone else will see this and carp about the viability of this method. Well, put aside the doubts, it works and works very well.
I used to sell for a storage building company that used those same clips and I was skeptical to start with too but, they work and they hold up for long term. I used to do pull ups on the rafters of a 16′ wide building to show customers how well they held up. That building, because of it sheer size, sat there as a display for 2 years before I went to work there and I sold it a year later. For the record, I weighed 220 pounds back then and it was muscle weight, dense.
There may or may not be other, unseen, problems in the construction. I can’t say from what I could see from the limited photos but the rafters aren’t one of them.
How fun would it be to put this in the backyard with a full bar in it for bbq’s and parties! Or (depending on how hard it is to get a liquor licence) turn it into a real tiny saloon. If you couldn’t get a licence, you could make it a Soda Saloon!
I dig it!
Real cool- box-front western look- wish it had more windows though- but that could be remedied easily enough

Me, too – I’d like a design with lots of windows for longer-lasting daylight, ventilation and the feeling of spaciousness.
I’d like large windows surrounding the entire house as well as arched windows at the peaks of the house, a vaulted ceiling with multiple skylights and a glass front door – I really enjoy looking into the woods and up at the clouds and stars.
I suppose a daybed, with underbed storage, and an under-counter kitchen may work well.
Rather than a full porch, a portable screenhouse may be practical. Folding indoor/outdoor chairs can be stored in your vehicle.
Just dreaming…
dude, it’s a shed/shack on wheels? on tinyhouse blog? this is sorta ridiculous to post this up here.
IT LOOKS TO SMALL FOR $4500
