Tumbleweed Tiny House Company Benefits & Video

by Jennifer Chait on February 8th, 2008

In the previous post I said I’d be back with more about Tumbleweed - so, here I am. The benefits of owning and living in such a small home, are of course, huge. Well, unless you have a big family. Then, I suppose, you’d need a bunch lined up, caravan style.

Still, if you’re just one person or a couple, it’s manageable to live in a small space. Benefits include:

• Mobile; in some cases.
• Learning to live with less stuff. That equals a larger feeling of freedom and simplicity, which in turn can equal less stress.
• Tiny costs associated with heating, water, etc. These are ideal for a solar power set-up.
• Can (for experienced builders) take just 2-3 months to build.
• Obviously the lack of materials and power it takes to build one of these small spaces is a huge perk to the planet’s well-being. You can even incorporate recycled and other green materials into the building process.
