What Is The Tiny House Movement?
What are Tiny Houses? The Tiny House Movement? Tiny Living?
Simply put it is a social movement where people are downsizing the space that they live in. The typical American home is around 2600 square feet, while the typical small or tiny house is around 400 square feet. Tiny Houses come in all shapes, sizes and forms but they focus on smaller spaces, simplified living.
People are joining this movement for many reasons, but the most popular reasons are because of environmental concerns, financial concerns and seeking more time and freedom. Below are some videos that will help you gain a better idea of what this movement is all about. So Enjoy!

Ok, all great – but what about KIDS? Raising a FAMILY? Perhaps having kids is not eco-friendly, otherwise I'm hard pressed to explain the total absence of family perspectives in this blog.
A Tiny House is relative to the number of people. While a 1000 square foot house sounds big, but if 5 people live in there, that is only 200 sq/ft per person. Further you are able to share common areas, which you could argue has less of an environmental impact.
If you want kids, build a bigger house and that’s it

I just got a patent on this house in Nov. 2009. It came to me in a dream state but has been stamped by three world renowned engineers. The first one is about to go up. Tell me what you think/
