Catskills Tiny House Workshop is having a workshop in upstate New York this weekend, August 19-21, teaching people how to design, move, and oversee the building of their own small house.
The $495 fee includes accommodations (in tiny homes!), continental breakfast, sample blueprints, sample written plans, a sample builder’s contract, a sample land rental agreement for a tiny house, and a how-to guide packed with building terms, definitions, and facts. You can learn more and sign up on their website.
