Introduction
How This Book Will Help You
This book was put together so that you can figure out if a tiny house workshop is right
for you. And if so, show you the options on where and how you can attend one.
When youre done reading youll know whos who in the tiny house world as well as your
options in regards to gaining the confidence and knowledge to start and finish your tiny
or small house project.
Why a tiny house workshop?
These construction workshops are designed for people like you and me, who love the
idea of a house that demands very little from us.
For me, simple living has become a way for me to make a transition into a lifestyle
where I have more control by consciously choosing and reducing the items I own and
maintain.
The goal is to keep what you love and find another home for the rest. To get rid of not
too much and have as close to what best serves us as possible. This way our time,
monies, and energies are readily available for whatever we want to accomplish or
create within our lives.
A tiny house, a small house, or just a simpler life, as a foundation for your future?
Without a shelter and food, what is man or a woman? How can one evolve without a
proper shelter and nutrition?
Little homes along with technology are changing the way we think of home by making
small more doable than ever before. I believe that the ideas behind the Tiny House
Movement are a huge gift.
So lets do our part to make tiny and small homes more widely and easily available for
those of us who want them now and in the future.
Thank you for your interest in a better life,
