Frugal, "semi-retired" couple builds a tiny house in Idaho
« on: November 02, 2012, 11:07:18 AM »
I thought some on here might enjoy this story. Lots of Mustachian values, particularly in the building of the tiny house (220 SF) - and what looks to me like beautiful craftsmanship from used/found/repurposed materials. It's one of the few tiny houses I've run across that's not on wheels. The couple are not early retired in the strictly Mustachian sense, but work part time to bring in enough money to meet their very simple needs.

Anyway, if you love this sort of thing as I do, enjoy!

I enjoyed the link, thank you!  The tiny house blog has alot of interesting spaces.  220 sq ft is too tiny for me, though 800-1000 I think is doable.
