Tiny House Living

One of my regular readers, EJ, passed this New York Times story onto me. It’s a wonderful simple living lifestyle story of two people starting a family in a remote part of the world. Their home is simple, a Mongolian-style yurt with no running water and a 3 mile walk to the nearest store in Seldovia, Alaska. Photo credit to Stuart Isett for The New York Times. Thanks again for passing this onto me EJ!

The Simple Life in a Yurt

Bill is building a tiny house based on one of my tiny house designs. You can download the free house plans at Tiny House Design. He’s building the 8×16 Solar House.

He posted a bunch of photos of the interior work recently on Facebook and it’s looking great. Eventually Bill plans to move his tiny house up to Alaska (from California) and spend some time chilling out.

Bill’s Progress Photos on Facebook

(To see the Facebook photos a free Facebook membership is required. So I’ve posted a few of Bill’s photos here in case you can access them on Facebook.)

Bill Brooks is making great progress on his tiny solar house built from the free house plans I offer on Tiny House Design. It’s especially exciting for me to see one of my designs come together. When Bill is done with this house he plans to take it on an extended trip up to Alaska. Follow Bill on Twitter

Bill’s Tiny Solar House

A fellow named Bill is building a tiny solar house from one of the free house plans on Tiny House Design. He’s been making quick progress and intends to travel up to Alaska with the house and stay a little while when it’s complete.

Bill’s Solar Tiny House

Here’s a great story about a young couple who buys five acres in Alaska and builds a log cabin with little previous construction experience. The house was made with things found right on the property, for example the countertops came from local rock, the spiral staircase came from local timber, and their toilet seat was made form a tree trunk. This is a great story about modern-day homesteaders. Read more at Tiny House Blog.
