Can a person who knows nothing about building or architecture successfully design and oversee the building of their own house?

Yes. 

It is possible to own a house without incurring a 30-year mortgage. It’s possible to purchase a brand-new house, roomy enough for a couple or young family, for a fraction of what fixer-uppers sell for today. It’s possible to elude onerous property taxes and free up the thousands you’re squandering on rent.

We did it. We’ll show you how to do the same.

In addition to sharing our knowledge about designing, building, and moving tiny houses, we’re also sharing the HOUSES. Attendees are invited to explore, and enjoy, the numerous small homes included in our workshop. Fix a meal in one of the kitchens, check your mail via the wi-fi, fill a water tank from a spring, learn how hygienic and easy-to-use a composting toilet is, start a fire in the woodstove, get a good night’s sleep in a cozy loft. Spending time in a small house will help you decide if such a home is right for you.

Whether you’re considering a tiny house for a weekend getaway, as a rental investment to add to an existing property, or a fulltime home, a weekend with us will demystify the process and help you sidestep costly freshman errors.
