Tiny House in Oaxaca
I ran across the blog of Mark Grossman and family this past week. It’s a wonderful journal that captures the step-by-step process building a tiny earthen home in Oaxaca, Mexico. I’ve not gotten through all his posts yet, which date back to 2007, but it definitely worth some time if you dream of a lifestyle like this.
Tiny Dome in Terlingua, Texas
Terlingua, Texas is a remote part of southwest Texas near the Mexican border. Pictured here is a tiny dome structure currently under construction. The blog that is recording the construction story is also filled with interesting ways of adapting to such an extreme desert region and living very close to the edge.

Cabin Project on Kickstarter
An ashram and farm is being built just outside New York by a group of young urban farmers. The plan is to offer workshops in the near future and they are raising money on Kickstarter to build a guest cabin for attendees. I wanted to share this because Kickstarter is a very interesting way to raise money for projects. I also want to thank one of my readers, Mark, for tipping me off to this project.
