How to Build Your Own Tiny House: The Complete Step-By-Step Guide

Description

Tiny homes are all the rage these days, especially among young people new to the housing market, for people wanting a small dwelling as a second home or as a studio, and among singles and empty nesters. As millions are experiencing the "magic" of tidying up and reducing the number of their possessions, many are also seeing the value of living with less space, while environmentalists are also valuing a smaller carbon footprint. How to Build Your Own Tiny House is a comprehensive guide to the actual construction process, building codes, and regulations, not another pretty picture book about tiny houses. Offers anyone with basic carpentry skills step-by-step instructions to successfully build a tiny house (250 to 1,000 square feet.) The book covers everything from forming a bill of materials to the basics of frame construction; it details wiring and plumbing a tiny home, outlines construction codes for small buildings and gives pointers as to where local regulations may apply, and also includes a section on building appropriately sized furniture for a tiny home. Includes a selection of tiny home designs, each of which can be expanded as needs change. Review: Lots of ideas, but, American based - Excellent book full of ideas. BUT Only 4 stars as it wasn't obvious that it was an American book, so some translating to do for UK laws and utilities, voltage etc. Review: Excellent Book! - Beyond basic information! Very informative info for anyone building for the 1st time or has built in the past Shared with a friend, buying my 2nd book
