A 96 square feet house
A man named Jay Shafer built a house that is smaller than my bedroom. I wonder how he is able to manage his daily life with his 96 square feet house. Jay Shafer actually grew up in a 4,000 square foot house. He has building or construction skill and knowledge yet he decided to build a small house for himself. He built his house, named Tumbleweed, in 1997, while he was teaching art at the University of Iowa, in Iowa City. It took him to build his tiny over 400 hours, which is in a two month time period. Shafer currently lives in Sebastopol, California, and has started to his own business, Tumbleweed Tiny House Co., and now builds houses for others. The average cost of these homes is $50,000. Shafer wishes to build an entire community out of these homes. In 2000 Shafer and some friends founded the Small House Society. They enthusiastically endorse affordable and economically conscientious small homes for others.
Apparently, when you live in a small house, you don’t need a lot of furniture and home appliances. So, there are some financial benefits. Shafer’s house is so small he can attach it with a hitch to a truck and travel with it anywhere. Shafer can build 50 square feet and up to 750 square feet. Jay Shafer builds his smaller designs himself and ships them by truck to consumers. Do you think you can live in a tiny house? I think tiny houses are only good for single or two people. But with children, to have more space make more sense.
