Tumbleweed Tiny House Company New Designs

Tiny Tumbleweed House Co: Small Homes
Since 1997 Shafer has been living in little hand built houses. The first one, which he named the Tumbleweed house, was 100 square feet. When he sold the Tumbleweed seven years later, he built a 70 square foot house that he lives in today, named the Weebee, or XS extra small House.

The Katrina Cottage, a permanent 308 square foot cottage engineered to withstand at least 140 mph winds, was first meant as an attractive alternative to the FEMA trailer being offered to Gulf Coast residents left homeless in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.
