A note from a builder
“Hey I just wanted to write and thank you again for all you did on the Terrapin. I haven’t sold that particular unit yet, but I just received a 50% downpayment from a woman in VA for a very similar model. She mentioned in her first email that she came across the post on Tiny House Talk. This is sort of big moment for this venture, and I can’t thank you enough for helping it along. If/when our paths cross, dinner and beers are on me.
Peter Pavlowich, Casual Turtle Campers

What newsletter readers tell us
“Heyyy Alex, Just wanted to let you know: I LOVE your newsletter. Ordinarily, I won’t sign up for newsletters as a rule. I hate them; feel they’re intrusive; and are usually worthless, but yours is the best I’ve seen. I find myself checking my email, waiting for another update to show. What I like most are the hyperlinks with examples of different tiny homes: great stuff. Also, the layout of your newsletter is perfect. It’s very simple, so I can sift through it quickly… Keep ’em coming.Chris P.Newsletter reader, by email
“After six months of being inspired daily by your newsletter, we are mere months from starting our tiny house build.JennReader, in the comments

“I always look forward to getting this newsletter. Is better than my medication. 🙂SheilaReader, in the comments
“I must first say I love your website. I am intrigued by the Tiny Houses. After living the American dream and raising two children I now find myself in a very different place. I am single and alone. Do not feel sorry for me. I couldn’t be happier! I currently live in a 300 sq. ft. apartment by choice! I am still working on living with what I need, but your examples have really helped me realize what I need and want. What I want is to work less and have more time and money to travel… Keep the newsletters and information coming. I love it!Melinda B.Reader, by email
“Your newsletter continues to inspire me and, one by one, those blocks have become less significant. Thank you!ChristopherReader, planning his build, in the comments

“I LOVE Brian Levy’s NO LOFT Tiny House!!! I hope more people start designing these. I’m not a fan of lofts either, so was pleasantly surprised to see this little gem. BRAVO! GREAT planning ideas all the way around; the hidden bed, the movable table, double duty furniture, and good “cooking” kitchen. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! You just restored my interest in Tiny Houses starting to be built for real people!Roxanne H.Reader, by email

“I look forward, each day, to your newsletter and am enthralled with the variety of tiny homes. I long for one, and hopefully, when I retire, can move closer to the coast and have my own… Again, thank you for sharing these wonderful homes with me. With joy,Susan BridgersDarlington, SC, by email
“So, I just discovered this awesomeness today, after being bored and surfing Netflix. I came across a documentary called “Tiny,” and was hooked!!!

What people say after we share their home
Most of the homes we feature are sent in by readers. See their stories.
“Tiny House Talk is one of the best resources I’ve read on the web for tiny home living. Alex’s blog has a ton of resources for any and all types of tiny home living including treehouses. Even if you’re not planning on living in a treehouse, I would take a peek at that section, this beach treehouse in particular! The newsletter has a ton of info as well! Overall, there are very few excuses you can make to not build a tiny home after diving into the content.AustinOutbound Living, by email
