Tiny Tiny House – home most anyone could afford to build
Aug

I have a curiosity about tiny houses. Small cabins that are room for one or two people. A living space with a bathroom – shower sink, toilet.
I don’t have much money. Any stories of people out there that built these homes from what they could find and do it inexpensively? I’d love to see pics or videos of these houses if anyone has to share.

I would first go to your library and see if these books are available:

http://www.amazon.com/Tiny-Houses-How-Get-Away/dp/0879512717/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314556825&sr=1-3

Some communities have stores that sell used house parts, like sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, etc.
If you know people that remodeling or can get to know contractors that do this, they me happy to have you take a way the junk for them.
Condsider community dumps and garabage of people and businesses as a source for your supplies.
