Mr. Luker’s Tiny House project is a relatively new blog recording the building experience for new tiny house builder named Joe.
He really doesn’t share much about himself on his blog or on his attached Google+ profile, but just from reading through his blog you can tell that he is passionate and dedicated to the project.
He started the project in April 2013 by explaining his reasoning for building a tiny home. Like many of us he was attracted to the idea of reducing his finances and the positive environmental impact of a small home.
He explained in detail about his trailer choice and even asked for advice on the overall construction in some the earliest posts this year. You can also see his Sketch-Up designs for the building on the website.
I encourage you to scroll or click below for more of Joe’s story and photos of his tiny house project.

This article will show you how one couple built their very own mortgage-free small house for $5,900 and how you might be able to do the same using reclaimed materials that are inexpensive and many times completely free. All it takes is your dedication and labor. I’m handing it over to Deputy Gene now. Thank you for reading. – Alex
My wife and I decided to build a small house as cheaply as we could as a weekend getaway. We had a relative who worked at a lumber supply house and would call us whenever they had seconds on sale. We purchased anything they had figuring we would need it eventually. We worked every weekend I had off and it took us a little over a year to finish. Here it is about four weekends into the project.

This tiny house is called the Tiny HaHa House.
The owner built it for just $3,000 in materials and did nearly all of the work himself.
It’s Jay Shafer‘s XS tiny house design except it has a covered porch modification.
And they added two roof windows which I really like.
I think it has a little bit of a modern look to it too, don’t you think?
The XS is just 65-square-feet without including the upstairs sleeping loft.
The siding and roofing is corrugated aluminum, kinda like the one Jay showcases in his book.

Carpeting was used on the interior and the interior walls seem like painted plywood panels, but I think it looks good. Modern, even.

Ever wanted to turn your backyard barn or shed into a livable tiny house for guests or yourself? Even if it were only for the kids to camp in once in a while…
One of our awesome readers, Jean, sent me photos and information on how she converted this barn into a little home. At approximately 288 square feet, it’s not incredibly tiny, but you can take the same concepts and apply it to an even smaller structure. Jean bought a 12′ by 24′ barn with a loft and converted it by hand into a guest cottage.
