2br_tiny.JPG I have to say it was wonderful reading about tiny homes in the recent issue of Time magazine. This has been something surfgirl and I have been talking about. We’ve talk to a family member of hers about buying a couple acres and builing our own little world on it, complete with tiny home or yurt and living a bit off the land with a garden. Unfortunately, the area is economically pretty depressed, but who knows, if we have enough money saved, that may not be too much of an issue.

About a year ago we really got into finding out all we could and the alternatives that were available. You may find some of these resources helpful if this is a similar dream of yours.

Here is a society for people with small homes as well:
The Small House Society

NPR even did a story (5/16/06) on them: Tiny Houses Find a Friend on the Gulf Coast
