The Tiny Tumbleweed House (
http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/) will be open for public viewing today from 2-4 p.m. Although we had wanted to start it around noon, we have had a wonderful couple from New York staying in it since Friday, and I will be cleaning it and making up the bed after they leave today to prepare the Open House, so 2:00 p.m. it is!

Today’s weather promises to be as good as yesterday’s, which in a word is PERFECT! From the number of inquiring phone calls yesterday here at The Lodge, we expect a very large turnout. Our last Open House in July drew about 75 from as far away as Massachusetts, Vermont , Pennsylvania, and even a couple from Washington, DC (although admittedly, they were already somewhere in the area!). ‘Tiny House People’ tend to be interesting and colorful folk, so it is always a pleasure for me to meet others who have similar dreams of living small and building a Tumbleweed of their own, as I plan to do in the sping.

FYI, I just downloaded Dee Williams’ Tiny House e-book yesterday which is a wealth of information on the nuts and bolts of actually constructing one. If you have dreams and visions of tiny house living yourself, you are going to want to do the same. (Dee Williams is Jay Shafer’s friend from Washington who built her own tiny house on wheels. You can see her You-Tube video on Jay’s website:

So, that should keep you busy for awhile checking out all those links, but truthfully, who wants to sit inside at their computer on a day like this? Why not hop in your car and come take a peek for yourself! I never tire of talking to people about Tiny Houses … it has been a near obsession of mine for almost 10 years!
How many people can you fit in a Tiny House? Come to our Open House where we can pack ‘em in and see! We’ll have brochures for all who arrive.
Tiny houses are really interesting...and such a great use of space. There's another company called Tiny Texas Houses that does a simi lar thing...although I don't know if any of their homes are mobile or not...This one you feature here is super cute!!!! I hope you get lots of visitors!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just looked at your profile again...and noticed you said your blood type is "Earl Gray"...I think mine would have to be "coffee" :) :) :) while I don't think I convince my dad to go on a roadtrip to NH...I'll make sure and get out for a drive today. It's been raining a lot...I still hold out hope for a nice yard sale!!! Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
We had such a great time visiting the Tiny House! Thank you so much for hosting the open house and telling us all about your involvement with Jay. It was SO worth the drive from Boston to get to see the house in person :)
