A Cricket Travel Trailer you can Rent before you Buy in Portland

How would your life be with no mortgage, no car, and a teeny tiny house to call home? When I first heard about Tammy Strobel and her husband Logan they were living simply in a minimalist apartment.

Amazingly Functional 136 Sq. Ft. Molecule Tiny Home on Wheels

If you already haven’t seen this 136 sq. ft. Molecule Tiny Home you’re in for a treat. To me, it’s one of the best designed and best built little houses on wheels out there. And it’s their 5th design and build. At 8’x17′ it’s one of their smallest, too. But they were still able to…
