A man is making a tiny house that does not cost him anything – a free house!

I am thinking of making a small house on a trailer for working on the bigger house. Doing some research on my options to make a small cheap house from recycled materials.

One man is using pallets.

Other options?
Either a wood or a metal frame.

If metal, will need a welder.

This only makes sense if you have used batteries lying around.

Takasugi-an, a tree tea house by Terunobu Fujimori, is the scariest and wonderfulest little house we have seen in a while.

We love downsizing, and this is an easy and fun project to start with if you want to explore building yourself.

The name Takasugi-an means, “a tea house [built] too high.”
