I thought you’d also enjoy this DIY tiny house project. It involves a really inventive man who went from 2000 sq. ft. to a 160 sq. ft. micro home.

The owner/builder has been living in it for more than 5 years now. The micro home is very energy efficient and was very inexpensive to build.

He built it with the help of his brother. They designed and built it all themselves using mostly reclaimed materials.

This is one really interesting/inspiring guy… Not just a tiny house… But DIY electric cars, too.

I encourage you to enjoy the rest of this tiny house tour below:

This is a Reader Submitted Guest Post – Share Your Downsizing Story Too

Once upon a time I lived in a large house of 4,100 square feet in Sydney, Australia.

I seemed to spend a lot of time and money cleaning and maintaining such a residence and eventually decided to downsize to a more manageable one.

I sold the property and bought one of just 1,800 square feet. Living alone I soon realized that this house was also too large for my needs.

So I decided to downsize again and move to the country. I was approaching retirement and so spent many hours looking at houses on the internet.

I found a small two bedroom house that was built in 1990 and was a copy of a traditional miners cottage and was just 585 square feet in size.
