The Field Lab – Update
John Wells at The Field Lab has been making slow steady progress on his greenhouse. His home is a tiny 8′ by 16′ tiny house specially built to survive the extreme heat the southwestern Texas desert can deliver. His greenhouse will be made from shipping containers with a roof of welded steel trusses. He’s doing all the work himself including raising the giant handmade steel trusses into place. Be sure to watch this video on YouTube that shows how he lifts one of the trusses into place.
John Wells
Last week one of the top stories in Tiny House Living was about a tiny house in southwest Texas owned by John Wells. Over the past week I’ve been diving into John’s online content which includes a lot of great how-to information on rain water collection and low-cost cooling. While looking through his growing collection of YouTube videos and photos I spotted this video which really summarized his adventure in a poem. It made me think about how much I focus on the houses and how the people are really much better at telling the story. If simple living is a dream or passion for you this is a must watch video.
When you’re done watching the video dig into all the great stuff he’s putting online.
