The Backyard Cottage Company - Tiny House News & Events Tiny house news and events Our Project House Build Update - A Tumbleweed Tiny House Company Cypress 20 The roof on our project house is looking great and we thought it was a timely opportunity to share some thoughts with you about the roof building experience. The front section of the roof and faux dormer certainly add curb appeal to Tumbleweed's Cypress design, but having worked through the process of putting it all together, it raised questions on whether the additional time taken to add redundant features and extra cost with purchasing required materials, versus topping your house with a standard 'gable roof', is actually worth the end result? From a space perspective, adding the sloping front roof reduces the overall room in the sleeping loft. Adding the slope and dormer, turns the gable roof into a type of 'intersecting roof', which itself means addition of 'hips' and 'valleys' to the roof structure and brings its own considerations to both function and cost.
Emergency Kits | Conifer, CO The Tiny Life CusatoCottages.com Rich's Portable Cabins ESEE Knives TinyHouseBlog Affiliate page -Tiny Homes by Lloyd Kahn There's a grassroots movement in tiny homes these days. The real estate collapse, the economic downturn, layoffs, scarcity of good jobs - these things have many people rethinking their ideas about shelter - seeking an alternative to high rents, or a lifelong mortgage debt to a bank on an overpriced home. In this book are some 150 builders who have taken things into their own hands, and created tiny homes (under 500 sq. ft.). A rich variety of small homemade shelters is shown in some 1,200 photos, and there are stories, thoughts and inspirations of the owner-builders who are on the forefront of this new trend in downsizing and self-sufficiency.

Alter Ec'Home Et voici aujourd’hui les premières photos de la construction de 2 Mobile Ec’Home dans l’atelier près d’Hazebrouck (département du Nord) : Pour le socle du Mobile Ec’Home et afin qu’il soit assez rigide et solide pour ses futurs déplacements, le plancher repose sur un cadre métallique.Peint et donc protégé, le cadre reçoit ensuite les poutres qui soutiendront le plancher. Des planches de bois huilées sont ensuite vissées sur la face inférieure (l’habitat sera surélevé par rapport au sol) Le dessous achevé, le cadre de bois est retourné et fixé sur son support métallique Et voilà l’isolant (seule concession d’Alter Ec’Home à l’industrie pétrolière, mais les contraintes liées à l’humidité nous y ont contraint) 10 cm de polystyrène ! La méthode de contreventement choisie pour le Mobile Ec’Home et à base de planches clouées en diagonale, plus léger, plus respirant et plus naturel que les traditionnels panneaux d’osb Mur à ossature bois de l’habitat écologique, insolite et nomade Mobile Ec’Home.
