The first Tumbleweed Tiny House was built in 1999 on a trailer because building codes wouldn’t allow a house to be built this tiny. It registered in at 8′ wide by 12′ long for a total of 96 square feet and originally sold for $32,000 despite having no running water or electric hookups. Derek “Deek” Diedricksen takes you inside this classic.
