George Packard with CuriouslyLocal.com has put up a great interview with Stephen Marshall on tiny houses.
He builds small spaces on wheels with his company Little House on the Trailer.
Most of his clients are elderly people who want to remain independent.
He offers designs from 120 to 400 square feet.
Stephen discusses laws, zoning, and ordinances we face and how people are getting around them.
He started building back when he was 19 years old and has always wanted to design and construct his own home.

I’m excited to share our first interview here on Tiny House Talk with Dan Louche who designed and built a tiny house from scratch for a special someone in his life.

Alex: Can you tell us a little bit about the tiny house you’ve been constructing and why you decided to build it?
Dan: The tiny house that I built was for my mom.
A little over a year ago I received a call from her where she told me that she was having some respiratory problems associated with mold in the trailer home she was living in.
I knew I had to do something, but neither she nor I could afford to buy her a new home. So I began to research my options and came across the tiny house movement.
I had always been interested in smaller spaces and after seeing what others were doing, I was inspired to design and build her a tiny house.
The house is 8×20. I wanted it to be as large as possible but still be reasonable to tow and move around.
The living space is on a single level since my mother is older and a sleeping loft is not an option for her. I also wanted it to appear as roomy as possible inside, so I included large dormers on the front and back of the house.

Alex: What was her reaction like when she heard the idea? How is she liking it so far?
