SIXTEEN tiny houses, A-frames, Huts, Art Studios….An eye candy photo gallery

Every once in awhile, I look through my photo archives and realize "Man, I have a lot of photos I've never used", so I then put together a fun, photo gallery, such as this one, where many of these shots I've taken of cabins, tiny houses, A-frames, and huts, get to see the light of day. So Enjoy, and may you get some inspiration, or a few ideas from these!
    Also, check out our fb page on Tiny Houses, and DIY projects- www.facebook.com/tinyhousehub
And details on our upcoming HANDS-ON building and design workshop in Memphis, TN- April 11-13th, 20141 I can't wait!!!

A-frame Treehouse/Tiny House/Shed Office Part 2

This is NOT what we'll be building in Wilmington, NC- April 26th-28th at our HANDS-ON Tiny House Building Workshop, but I WOULD like to build another one of these up on my Vermont Land, perhaps as a future tree house building workshop, where, in groups, we build a guest hut, OR TWO..... we'll see....


Anyway, here's another shot of something I've been working on....problem is, here in New England, when it gets cold as all "get out", outdoor work tends to slow to a crawl, or a complete stop- paints and caulks don't cure, fingers freeze, and windburn (not fun) is always inevitable.
    Again, this is a simple A-frame, but one that was intended as a small art office, and one that could easily be built in a tree, as a tree house, even a hut for guests, as its so light in weight. As for the rest of it, I can't really show you for awhile, as its not quite done- what you see is only a third of the whole project.

Eventually, alongside the work of FIFTY or so other builders, and designers, this one will be showcased in yet another book I've been working on. kidcedar@gmail.com if you'd like to submit your work.

And, with the Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus season around the corner.....check out my "Humble Homes, Simple Shacks" book- MADE and PRINTED IN THE USA- I made sure of it when I signed the book deal- and the book cover proudly displays that fact. I'll soon be selling signed copies, with a bonus gift to each who order one- more on that soon....
