Looking for a serious DIY project? How about bulding your own tiny house with a small footprint. Tiny houses are less than 1,000 square feet of space, eco friendly, often movable and less expensive than typical homes. In the book “Tiny Houses Built with Recycled Materials,” Tiny Life blog author, Ryan Mitchell shows you how to use repurposed and upcycled materials like shipping containers and reclaimed shingles to create your own unique, recycled home. The book includes profiles on tiny house owners along with floor plans and photos.
