Important Notes from the 2017 Tiny House Summit
As I’ve been saying repeatedly, most of the ideas for tiny houses apply to building small DIY homes out of natural materials such as earthbags, straw bales, etc. Tiny houses and small homes in general share much in common, and therefore it’s very much worth the time and effort to learn about what’s going on in both types of housing movements. With that in mind I’ve compiled notes of some important concepts that were covered in the recent Tiny House Summit.
Tiny House Summit – Day 1 Videos Are Live
“The first day of the 2017 Tiny House Summit is now live, with presentations by Macy Miller, Valerie Cook & Tim Boffe, Becky Elder, Darren Hughes, David & Jeanie Stiles, Jewel Pearson, Laura M. LaVoie, and Jenn Baxter. These videos will be available to watch for free for 24 hours (ending at 12:00 pm US Eastern Standard Time, Tuesday, February 21st), at which time they will be replaced by eight more!
Best Tiny House and Small House Videos and Design Suggestions
Over the last few years I’ve watched hundreds of house design videos. I put the best tiny house videos on our Natural Building Blog to make it quick and easy for our readers to find quality content. Some people can’t get enough, so if you want a wider selection of content then I recommend Tiny House Magazine that covers the tiny house movement in more depth. And don’t forget about the free upcoming Tiny House Summit.
