A night in a tiny house

I'm big on tiny houses.  I suspect it's a holdover from when I was a kid and loved cubby houses and dreamt of making a usable space out of things like a car (this was when I was really really small!) or a bus or a railway carriage.  Or a shipping container. In the last 10 years or so the Tiny House movement has taken off.  And I fell in love with the tiny houses being built by Jay Shaffer and  Tumbleweed  homes.  Jay has since moved on and started  Four Lights Tiny House  homes.  I've spent many hours looking at the houses, floor plans and investigating what is required to do something similar in Australia and the rules and regulations for building a tiny house.  But it's been a bit of a dreaming only. So when I saw there was a crowdfunding campaign for a flat packed tiny house in Australia I was in! Greetings from a flatpacked tiny home!
