Impressive!  Why isn't this an option for public housing. Our idiot government loves to give people homes that cost in many cases more than the value of the home that an average tax payer lives in.  10 of these built for $150,000 could house single mothers and small families.  Far cheaper than the FEMA Katrina trailer debacle!  This is something that a low income family could actually OWN and afford to keep.

Wow- some GREAT stuff! And Lloyd's book will be great- I'm sure. I own a few of his others....

Here's a few things/shacks/guest cabins/mobile sleepers I've worked on/built recently- most of them based on designs in my indie micro-housing book- and I'm peckin' away at some more cabins (and designs) currently, as well....

I also have some "tv" youtube overview episodes on a few of them too...






AND A VIDEO of one of the cabins.....

ED: one post with all those links is one thing, but three with all the same links is pushing the no advertising rule a little too much. I changed the links so SDEO's don't recognize them but anyone interested can still go to the sites.

Please feel free to contribute ideas and thoughts, but honor the no ads policy.  - MD

Sorry- it was an autosignature- and didn't think they were ads, my appologies. Wasn't my aim, more so, just wanted to add to/contribute to the thread. The youtube link was just so whoever could see more, etc....esp. since I didn't have a good still picture of one of the cabins, Again- sorry.

I thought the videos that Derek has done are great. These are Micro houses that feature inventive uses of very low cost or free materials.

I just watched the first two of Derek's videos (well done!), and would like to know more about that vegetable oil stove -- would you be willing to start a new thread about that, Derek?

(Sorry for the topic drift) I got Deeks book a while back, felt like a kid again dreaming of all the cool little shelters.
