Tumbleweed Tiny House

Tumbleweed Tiny House Workshops

by Tammy on May 1, 2009

Jay Shafer, from the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, is offering a series of workshops this summer on how to build your own tiny home. Continue reading for more information…

With just $14,000 and my own two hands, I built my first house and escaped the mortgage rut for good. Suddenly, I had time and money for the things that were truly important to me, and I was no longer a slave to my job.

Now, I’ve developed a two-day workshop to teach how you, too, can create a more simple, debt-free life.

On the first day, we study basic building techniques so you can learn the secrets to building a tiny house right the first time. You’ll learn what tools are needed, what techniques work best, and what materials to avoid when building on a foundation or on wheels.

On the second day, I explain how to design a very efficient little home. Seven critical organizing principles and 42 design elements are discussed before we set out to design a tiny house for you (and your family). By day’s end, you will understand how to save space and money without sacrificing beauty or function. Whether you’re just starting out, or you’re an experienced architect ready to learn new techniques, this workshop is for you.

I’ve built a dozen tiny houses with my own hands, and I live in a house I built for $14,000. Join me as I share my secrets. I’ll make sure you steer clear of the many mistakes I’ve made in the past – mistakes that other tiny house builders are still needlessly making.

What will you tiny dream house look like? You can take the tried and true path and build yourself a Tumbleweed design; or you can create your very own tiny house.

Buy your workshop ticket today, and I’ll send you a free copy of my new book.
