Historic Mobile Chapel

by Michael Janzen on October 1, 2008

A reader, Brent, passed this onto me. I really like running across historic tiny houses, especially tiny mobile houses. It’s nice to remember that our interest in tiny living is not new. In fact it IS how people have been living for generations. McMansions are just a recent distraction.

I admit this is a little off topic being a House of God and not the kind of house one would literally live in but I suspect this fellow spent more than a few nights in it on the road. Thanks Brent! Here is the original post.

Historical Shepherds Huts

by Michael Janzen on September 14, 2008

I was just surfing around on shedworking.co.uk and found a link to a website dedicated to Old Shepherds huts.  This photo made me wonder… is this the original tiny tumbleweed house? It also made me realize (again) that we’re not really treading into new territory with the investigation into tiny mobile living; we’re actually taking a cue from the past.
