Ethan and I consider Lina Menard to be a thought leader in the tiny house movement. Her involvement in countless builds, both in the design and the construction.
Lina was an early adapter of SIPS and she continues to incorporate them into her design and work. Ethan chats with Lina about the pitfalls she has seen in her builds. They discuss issues with tiny house trailer designs and the difference between a design-build process and a build-design process.
