Great idea Epperson… That would be a good topic to cover and definitely a good match for current economic conditions.

Thanks!

Nice work! I appreciate the site and the gathering of information.

Have you considered doing a comparison on the more inexpensive methods of building a tiny house? I’m thinking of a cost-analysis and feasibility between Geodesic Domes, Yurts, Sheds, Shipping Containers, Silos, etc.

Since Yurts aren’t permanent structures, I assume they could fly under the radar from most building codes/inspectors. Yet the prices I checked from the major players are ridiculously expensive. Know any Mongolians willing to share some free info?

I’m a fan of Buck Fuller and his work. What do you think about building a Geodesic Dome using very cheap pipes and canvas covering?

Most people would rather live in one of the gaudier Tiny House offerings but the prices are just doesn’t make sense in this economic climate.

What do you think?

Thanks.

Now this is what i’m talking about, small and nicely designed, I love the idea of living in a Tiny House, but not at the expense of style, all these houses made out of junk are not for me, I work from home and a nicely designed abode is a must!
