One group of people that could desperately use tiny houses are the homeless.
That’s why I’m usually for any project tailored to help provide micro housing (shelter) for homeless people.
And in many cases this doesn’t even have to be a fancy cabin with all of the comforts of home.
It just needs to be shelter from the elements and a place to safely keep and carry essential belongings for those without a home.

Well, I’ve got good news because this is one of those moments. Introducing… The Brevard Tiny House Company in Brevard, NC near Asheville, North Carolina.

If you’ve been looking for tiny house kits you’re in the right place. In this post, I’m going to show you an Amish Barn Raiser Kit you can order on wheels.
I’m talking about a pre-built tiny home on wheels (with the shell done for you) that can be delivered to you. This would save you up to 3 months of build time assuming you work on your projects for 16 hours every weekend. That’s 200+ hours of build time that you can save by ordering a pre-built shell already built on a new trailer for you.

I just had to show you this concept called Trailer Park.
It’s a mobile public park in the New York City area.
The interior of a travel trailer (14′ x 8′ x 7′) has been transformed into a real park.
That means hand laid bricks, plants, wooden benches, a water fall, fish pond, and skylights all inside of the trailer.

Here’s a new tiny house documentary I thought you might also enjoy watching.
It’s about a family of five who decide to embark on the journey of a roadtrip.
And it’s not just on any “normal” motorhome/RV/travel trailer.
They’re doing it in a 1981 VW Westfalia camper van.
Each family member can only bring one backpack.
