Jay Takes His House on the Road


This July, Jay Shafer will be taking his tiny house on the road as he travels along the West Coast from the Canadian Border down to the Mexican Border.

Jay will be joined by Small House Society co-founder Greg Johnson as the two demonstrate the versatility and endurance of a Tumbleweed Home. The pair will sleep in the tiny house and make stops at many cities and towns.

Our largest house yet!

June 8, 2008

Over a dozen new designs are almost here. Pictured to the left is the updated Enesti. Jay has added an optional bedroom on the ground floor. These plans are complete, and the new house measurers a tidy 774 square feet for the 3 bedroom version (ground floor pictured on top). When you purchase the plans, you’ll receive plans for both the 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom versions. The bottom picture features the side view of the house with the additional room.

  The following five houses will all be updated shortly:

  • Harbinber
  • Bodega
  • Loring
  • New Vessica
  • Sebastarosa
  • …with more plans to come next month.
