Ethan and Janet have decided to pull back the curtain and discuss this subject on his podcast.
Janet is the Founder, President, and Treasurer of Tiny House Alliance USA and is currently leading an exploratory initiative to develop new global building standards with ASTM.
Janet does a great job of explaining what ASTM International is, what standards are, how they would impact the tiny house building industry, dwellers, DIYers, not just in the United States or North America,
This is really an exciting effort that could effect the entire world and tiny houses. More people need to get involved.
