The Small House Book!

By Dawn Kubicek on 5th August, 2010

Jay Shafer from the USA is leading a movement that is changing the way America views housing. In his, The Small House Book, Shafer explains why smaller dwellings make good sense and can save a lot of money too. He is trying to embrace the idea of superior designs that can be achieved with less space.

20k is the amount it usually costs to construct one of these small homes which can also be used as a mobile home.

"Imagine the freedom of being able to pick up and move as you wish. Tired of your neighbours? Don't like your view? Just pick and move." Quotes Jay Shafer in the book.

The book includes information such as:

• Beautiful home plans and tools/materials needed to build your home.
   
• Instructions on how to make your home portable.
   
• How to fit your family and all your belongings into a tiny house with a little free elbow room.
   

Small house living may be a suitable option for many with lower running costs and overall costs.
