Yes Wee Cabins by Tim Guiles
This is Tim Guiles, a tiny house builder up in Vermont. His tiny house company is called Yes Wee Cabins. Tim has been living in tiny spaces since 1988 when he bought a sailboat that he lived aboard full-time for three years. During that time he learned the benefits of downsizing his possessions first hand. After moving off the boat he spent some time in graduate school studying environmental engineering and later decided to build a small 8′ by 12′ cabin. After two years in that tiny house he decided to build a bigger 12′ by 20′ home.
Wildflower Tiny House For Sale
I just got an email from Kim who stumbled on a tiny house for sale in the Minneapolis craigslist. The seller is asking $22,900 for this tiny house. It measures 8′ by 18′ and when mounted on a trailer is 13′ 5″ (trailer not included). Thanks to Kim for passing this on to me. I bet there are folks in that neck of the woods looking for a local tiny house builder. Take a look at the craigslist ad and the builder’s website.

Tiny Texas Houses in the News
I just spotted this article on Tiny Texas Houses and the tiny house movement in general. Tiny Texas Houses build tiny homes from renewable materials and salvaged stuff. These little houses are a nice example of how old items can be reused to make something new.
The article spotlights some people who’ve bought these tiny houses and how they are using them as art studios and homes. Photo credit to statesman.com, read the original article.
