Tiny House Enthusiasts - Houston (Houston, TX) | Meetup. This is a group for anyone interested in designing, building, living in, renting, or maintaining a tiny house and sustainable lifestyle. The tiny house movement is a return to houses less than 1,000 square feet, some as small as 80 square feet (7.4 m²). Building types include cottages, cabins, trailers, containers, caravans, house boats, tree houses and many more. The typical tiny house on wheels (THOWs) is usually less than 8 ft by 20 ft, with livable space totaling 120 square feet or less, for ease of towing and to exempt it from the need for a building permit. Dream big, live tiny! Living with less is freeing – both financially and by allowing more time for personal development, community involvement and the ability to react on opportunities when they're presented.

Our Goals: • Supporting each other by sharing resources and knowledge • Working on projects together, lending a helping hand • Visiting builders, tiny houses and events together • Sharing ideas of small living and sustainability.

God Save The Pallet! Reclaimed Pallets Revamped. Used in the shipping industry, wood pallets are typically a low end commodity. Usually, pallets will get reused a few times and then they will either be scrapped as trash or used as firewood. Most often made from inexpensive junk species of lumber (whatever is most widely available), wood pallets are the perfect candidate for upcycling. Check out these creative examples of upcycled pallets and I think you'll agree!
