Tiny Houses

Undoubtedly, you have not heard about the housing sensation that is not sweeping the nation- tiny tiny houses.

I first read about them, when directed by my brother to an nytimes.com article. Man, are they tiny, less than 150 square feet (that is not a typo). Most of these houses would fit into a McMansion master bathroom.

They are fully equipped and free standing. The small space and efficient design lends its self to green housing. The ability to run completely "off the grid" becomes a viable possibility. This obviously isn't a solution for everyone today, but its certainly is an interesting and very inexpensive option for some people.

They main man getting all of the credit is Jay Shafer of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company.
We recently jaunted up to his 100 square foot tiny house and office in Sanoma for a tour. It was pretty incredible. I could definitely live his life. Plus he's been featured on Oprah, so hes practically John TRAV-OL-TA.
