Aspiring writer Michael Janzen recently launched two new blogs about tiny houses. His philosophy is: Tiny Homes=Freedom. I like his thinking….

“In a nutshell, tiny houses give you back freedom in the form of time, money, and peace of mind. Why? How? Simply because they cost less to own, clean, heat, cool, etc. The less money you spend on your home the less you have to earn or the more you keep in the bank. The less time you spend cleaning and maintaining your house the more time you have to for the things you like to do.”

Tiny House Design is sort of a cross between two of my favorite sites rolled into one: Materialicious and Shedworking. It covers architecture and design of all homes great (as in wonderful) and small.

Tiny Free House is all about the tiny home Michael is building. He’s trying to get his hands on some spare building material, but wouldn’t ya know it? He is in California.

Anyway, I plan to follow his wisdom and foibles so I can be ready to build my own tiny house when the time comes to replace that dang garage.
