Fold-Down your table to reveal a solid wood surface and shallow storage shelves.

This house had been eaten by termites, but we were determined to salvage everything we could before it was demolished. I think we did a decent job.

Container Home Edition
A field trip to the Barefoot Hills (formerly: Hiker Hostel) in Dahlonega, GA, where they have built Container Cabins in which weary travelers can stay. Since their Container Homes are the same dimensions that the Tiny House + will be, I thought it was worth a trip to test it out.
Lifecycle Building Center
A field trip to the Lifecycle Building Center where we’ll be sourcing a lot of our materials.
