Her: Whilst out-and-about in North Portland today, I stumbled across woodworker, Katy Anderson's, live/work home/studio. Katy is a partner in Portland Alternative Dwellings (PAD). She builds her homes on wheels so that they can be transported anywhere! Besides her display model, the "Don Vardo," which sits outside on her front lawn, she was kind enough to show me a small home she's currently working on for a private buyer. It's being built to the customer's specifications with a small kitchen, bathroom with shower, sitting area, and sleeping loft in the "attic." The structure was about 10 or 12 feet long (I believe), 8 1/2 feet wide, and approximately 9 or 10 feet high (maybe higher, considering the pitch of the roof?). When asked how much something like that would cost, she told me around $33K. Not bad, when you consider the amount normally needed for a down payment on a house. Not to mention, you can transport her PADs anywhere!
Great job, Katy! Keep up the good work!

Tumbleweed Tiny Houses
Her: A great video featuring the founder/creator of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company.

What I really like about the interior of these houses is the industrious use of space! For a home that's smaller than 100' sq., it seems so open and spacious! And, as Mr. Shafer mentions (and what I've always believed), it's amazing how little a person actually *needs* in order to live comfortably!
