If you’ve been wanting an affordable tiny house you’re at the right place right now because Dan Louche of Tiny Home Builders has created 160 sq. ft. tiny house plans just for that.
With these plans you can complete an 8’x20′ tiny home on wheels of your own for about $10k as long as you build it yourself. Not bad, right?
Well it gets even better because for a limited time Dan is giving away 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the plans to I Care Atlanta charity which helps end homelessness in the area.
And if that’s not good enough, it gets even better… You can pick your own price on the plans. Pay what you feel is right and what you can afford right now. Please enjoy and re-share below. And thanks for what you’re doing, Dan.
Update: Dan’s promotion is over. As far as I know, proceeds no longer go to charity and you cannot pick your own price on the plans. Sorry.

Lisa over at the Bumble Shack sent me some exciting news today I wanted to share with you. And heck, you might even be able to help. Either way it’s fun and interesting because they’ve recently bought a tiny house on wheels from Joe Everson at Tiny Happy Homes and they’re moving in really soon.
Right now they’re living in a normal house in Florida but they’ve already had their tiny home for a while. Her husband, Jon, has already found the perfect job and he’s to be in Asheville in only six weeks. So this tiny house family is in need of a space to park and live in their beautiful little home.

Right now I’d like to introduce you to Professor Dumpster (aka Dr. Jeff Wilson). He’s a college professor (and Dean) at the Huston-Tillotson University in Austin, Texas who’s decided to move into a dumpster and live in it for one year.
I’ve shown you how a dumpster can be turned into a micro house before thanks to Greg Kloehn (artist) in this post way back in 2012.
In 2014, I showed you how Kloehn is building micro homes for the homeless out of unwanted and now recycled ‘garbage’.
In February 2014 I included a video introducing you to ‘Professor Dumpster’ (shown here) who started converting and living in a 34 sq. ft. dumpster on campus on this post.
So right now, I want to dig a little deeper to explore what Dr. Jeff Wilson (Professor Dumpster) is doing and why he’s doing it. I think you’ll enjoy it.

This is a guest post by Ethan Waldman, author of Tiny House Decisions
When I was sure that I was going to build a Tiny House on Wheels, the first major purchase that I made was a set of plans. Once that was out of the way, I started shopping for trailers.
One of the first major purchases I made for my tiny house on wheels was a flat bed trailer. You certainly can’t start building a tiny house on wheels without one! There are so many options when it comes to trailers. New trailers, used ones, converted trailers from RV’s, farm trailers, etc. One thing seemed certain: trailers were not cheap.

Meet Jenna and Guillaume. They’re a DIY tiny house couple who’ve built a 20′ tiny home on wheels and now they’re getting ready to travel around the United States for one year with their little house in tow!
They started building their home in California but ended up finishing it in Illinois. In the video you’re about to see below- thanks to Deek at Relaxshacks.com– they’re in Philadelphia at a Tumbleweed workshop.
Definitely watch the entire video below- and pay attention too- because you’re going to get to see tons of space saving techniques. Plus some creative (yet simple) use of multi-functional furniture that you may not have ever thought of before.

This is definitely not a tiny house but most of you know how much I love showing all the different options out there like this beautiful zen small home in Kyoto, Japan by Kazuya Morita Architecture Studio.
From the outside it seems very humble in size indeed. But once you walk inside I think you’ll be surprised as to how much space and utility they were able to squeeze into here for this family.
As soon as you walk inside you’ll notice the fireplace which sits on a squared tiled area to your left. The rest of the home has natural wood floors and ceiling. The living area is also to your left from the front door beyond the fireplace after walking in.
Keep walking straight ahead and you run into the kitchen and dining area where you’ll also notice the staircase upstairs to the bedrooms. Downstairs, behind the staircase, is a wonderful study/office area with beautiful views of the backyard (and vaulted ceilings). Near the office and behind the kitchen is the bathroom.
Another wonderful feature of this home is not only that there are plenty of vaulted ceilings for that feeling of spaciousness but, for example, the bedroom has an indoor window where you can view the living area (see below). I absolutely love this.
In the current set up of the house there is only one bedroom. But you might notice that there are two doors to this bedroom which allows- later on- to partition the room with a wall to create two rooms when needed. More than likely, this is for when the kid(s) grows older.

DIY Tiny House Builder Looking for Space to Park & Dwell – Share Your Tiny Living Story Too!
Hi Alex and Tiny House Newsletter readers, I have been a fan of Tiny House Talk for almost a year now and I really appreciate you bringing the tiny house community together like you have.
I started building my tiny house in January and it will be livable by this December. My fiancee and I are Senior college students at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, PA and we will be getting married on January 2.
We would like to live in our tiny house for our last semester of college in the spring but are having trouble finding a place to put our tiny house to live in from January to May. After we graduate in May we can really go anywhere but would like to look in Maryland, particularly around the Baltimore/DC area because that is where our family is.

I had to share this wood cliff tiny cabin with a private creek and cliff top views with you right now.
It’s a tiny hand-built retreat made to accommodate two people with its fully equipped tiny kitchen, queen bed, and separate bath house and sauna nearby.
The rear porch gives you amazing treetop views as you’ll be able to see in the photos below. It was built using ten different types of wood. Well water is gravity fed to the cabin and bath house.
Nearby you’ll find an 80′ cliff that overlooks a mountain creek where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the moving water.
