After lurking on several tiny house blogs, and browsing hundreds of photographs, I have decided to take the first real steps to build a tiny house. Actually, I am going to convert the utility shed shown above into a fancy weekend retreat for my wife and I, our children, or some other lucky guests. Many hours this cold winter were spent selecting the essential features and putting together a floor plan. I am not likely to give up my conventional home yet. Rather I simply enjoy the puzzle-solving challenge of fitting the basics into one tight package. My years living aboard a sailboat in my youth may have something to do with this. So does my desire to build something with my kids. Who knows, maybe some day they will build a tiny house of their own. I am convinced that tiny houses will play an important role in a more prosperous and sustainable lifestyle for generations to come.
