Kent, over at Tiny House Blog, started this recent online conversation about organizing tiny house meetups. As the tiny house movement grows it makes sense to move the conversations offline.

Tina is building a tiny house made from mainly freely found building materials, including pallets. She’ll be using it as her backyard studio. It looks like she’s been making excellent progress and it’s great to see more people reclaiming pallets as building materials.

This story on Japanese Microhouses was a very popular this past week, I had several readers pass it along to me. Tiny houses are nothing new in Japan of course and it’s inspiring to see how their leading architectural designers transform tiny city lots with tiny homes that feel big inside.

Read and Listen to this story from NPR

Thanks again to Ryan, Dick, and Yvonne for tipping me off to this story.

Where did July go?

Thanks to a hacker by the name of JohnnyA I decided to take a short break from publishing Tiny House Living. He has been busy hacking many blogs and luckily only one of my big blogs was temporarily effected, this one. I’ve battened down all the hatches so we should have no more problems (knock on wood).
