First off, as part of an ongoing mini-video series (all laid back, one-take narrations) for The Tumbleweed Tiny House Company- here's video #2- one pertaining to free and repurposed/re-built windows as a means to save a TON of money on your tiny house or cabin project. Having used found windows in well over a dozen cabin and shelter projects I've personally built, believe me, the savings is HUGE. I'm currently using some in a tiny houseboat/shantyboat project of mine in fact....
These are the kind of things I'll be talking about in a new workshop segment "How to save THOUSANDS while building your own Tumbleweed or Tiny House". These tips VERY MUCH so pertain to any sized dwelling too. Most of them are also found in my book (below) "Humble Homes, Simple Shacks"....
AS FOR THE NEWLY ANNOUNCED GUESTS I LINED UP FOR TUMBLEWEED in MIAMI- April 14th and 15th...
YOU CAN SIGN UP HERE-
These additional speakers will not only make things more diverse, but fun and informational on several levels....
Alex Pino of TinyHouseTalk.com will be doing a short piece on tiny housing in relation to his involvement in the scene, and upcoming projects, through a segment called "How to Downsize Your Home and Life-Fast!"
Jo-Anne Peck from HistoricShed.com (who build beautiful sheds and guest homes in the Florida area) will be appearing on Sunday to talk about Florida building codes, what her company has been up to, and their approaches and techniques in building.
L.A. Davis from MGN SOLAR www.mgnsolar.com will be there to talk about his solar energy knowledge, and how his work and ideas especially caters to tiny homes.
I'll also be introducing a few new segments to the Tumbleweed workshop scene with talks on utilizing (how, when, and where) recycled and repurposed materials in your home build, a critique/showcase session with a slide show of a wild array of tiny homes, shelters, and cabins, AND a session on "Tricks Of The Trade"- time, body, and mind saving techniques and tips that I've acquired in over 20 years of building.
I'll also later juggle bowling pins set afire! Not really....
I'm also teaching the Tumbleweed BOSTON course- May 20 and 21st

And if you like hiking, fishing, and the outdoors- there are few better places...
