tiny green house construction
hi friends!
I am currently (very seriously) playing with the idea of constructing an off the grid tiny house next summer/fall. I have been spending this summer researching these little spaces and what it takes to live green (solar panels, rainwater catches, low VOC paints, energy star appliances, composting toilets,etc.). However, there is still so much I don't know, and probably wont until it really comes down to putting everything together.
I think building this house could be a really interesting class that involves hands-on work, communication, and research/open discussion about sustainable housing. I could try to find people that could come in and discuss different aspects of the house, and then we could proceed to work on it. Just an idea that is floating around in my head right now, let me know what you think.

I want to be involved for sure, as i am in the researching phases of a long-term off-the-grid plan for the future. Please let me know how i can help!

I like this idea a lot and would like to be involved as well. Unfortunately I don't have all that many construction skill, but I would still like to help if possible.

I really like this idea!
I really like this idea! I don't have any experience building, but am very interested in the green concepts and would love to help in any way I could.

Do it!
I'd be very interested in taking this class or helping facilitate. I'm an architecture student at the U and I'm very interested in green building. I'm assuming you've heard of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. This guy makes really tiny homes using all sorts of green techniques and publishes the plans. Making one of those would be a great way to demonstrate these things. I love the idea. Feel free to contact me with what you're thinking.

I think the idea is superb.
I think the idea is superb. Even though few people join the project, other can learn a tremendous lot by only following the proceedings.
Good luck for the course.
