  Happy Halloween all! I hope you have a safe (and dry) one! Here’s a few tiny pumpkin shacks/houses to get you in the mood- its actually amazing how many people go this route when carving theirs….. Enjoy!

Again, I’ll be looking for weird, fun, unusual, and self-built forts, shacks, tiny houses, tree houses, and playhouses for a new upcoming book- send photos of your builds (or the work of others that you’ve captured) to kidcedar at gmail dot com.

 

Well, aside from the natural light, the affordability, its light weight, ease of installation, the look (I love it, some don’t), and the flexibility….this photo pretty much sums it up: THE VIEW, and the filtration of colored light you receive in the fall (my favorite season) is one of the main things I love. The brand I use, since many ask, is “TUFTEX”- the rest that I’ve used, is crap by comparison. Of course, this stuff does have its downside too, its plastic (environmentally), and r-value wise its lousy- although GREAT for solar gain in the winter!

The cabin above is “THE GYPSY JUNKER”, one of the micro cabins thats on the premises for our “Tiny House Building Workshop” in MA this weekend. Its also featured in my book “Humble Homes, Simple Shacks” AND in the video below, which gives you a full tour!

 Here’s a photo of the progress on my 64 square foot guest cabin/shack/house in my yard. I’ve been working on it, and many other things, in preparation for this weekend’s “Relaxshacks.com Tiny-House Building (Hands-On) Workshop”. THREE days of building, speakers, tiny house tours, demos, campfire discussions, and MORE!

Still alot of work to go on this little house, but its a start! Right now, a certain lil’ Hurricane is keeping me from getting any more done.

Above: The ANTI-CLASSROOM classroom…..where we’ll be hanging. This is the podium for most of our speakers and discussions….

And….lumber n’ windows galore, outside, and inside the shed- which we’ll be using to build a tiny house on wheels….together!
