One of the perks that comes with writing a blog is that occasionally I am approached to write a review about a product that a company feels would work in the tiny/small house world.

Slabtown Customs Cube

This Slabtown Customs creation is based on the popular French Cube with some modifications, the biggest being the size. This unit is a 12′ cube, 12×12 footprint and 12′ tall with a very roomy second level for sleeping quarters and storage/closet space, with stair access to upper level The attached pictures were taken before total completion of the unit so there are some things yet to be done such as a little trim, bathroom door, as well as some kitchen items I mention below.

How-To determine trailer weight for your Tiny House

Cost to Build Visit Build-Cost.net and follow these instructions . Costs for materials are almost the same in different regions but labor costs will vary greatly depending on where you live.
