Tumbleweed Tiny House Company

My Tiny Solar House will be a design from the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. Jay Shafer started this company in California and currently sells plans for 10 different tiny homes ranging in size from 65 square feet to a whopping 700 square feet. Many of the smaller models, including the Fencl model, which I am interested in, are constructed on trailers to make the house transportable but to also get around the minimum size standards found in the ordinances of most cities and towns in the US. Jay's homes are beautiful. He creates his plans through subtractive design- eliminating wasteful space and making the most efficient use of the smaller space. Tumbleweed Tiny House Co. also sells homes that are already constructed, although you could build one less expensively on your own. The homes that they construct are gorgeous- cedar siding, pine interiors, cathedral ceilings; check them out: TUMBLEWEED TINY HOUSE CO.
