Dear Michael,
I just happened on your very nice blog site while doing some research for Diana Lorence, with whom I do some volunteer work. Diana is a speaker and writer who lives in twelve-foot square cabin that is a model of small house design–you would have to see it to believe it!
You’ve some really great resources here and I am so glad to find you. I want to take a while to look through it all. Thank you.
And I would like to introduce you and Diana to each other’s sites. Diana’s website is full of beautiful pictures and stories which give you a real feeling of what it is like to live in a tiny cabin in the woods. Here is the address: http://www.wordsfromthewoods.com. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks Sharron. Beautiful house with a level of finish rarely seen in tiny houses. Thanks for sharing!
My wife & I are building a Tiny House. Our blog is http://chrisandmalissa.com
Backyard cottages are small detached houses sharing a lot with a primary residence. They are allowed in many west coast municipalities and provide opportunities for families including housing an aging family member, a tenant or in some cases homes for people who want to down size and rent out their existing too large house. For more information about backyard cottages please visit our web page or blog. Thank you,
