Jay Shafer takes you inside his tiny 100 square foot tiny home.

This is Jay Shafer and since 1997 he has been living in a house smaller than some people’s closets. He called the first of his little hand built houses Tumbleweed, and his decision to inhabit just 89 square feet arose from some concerns he had about the impact a larger house would have on the environment, and because he did not want to maintain a lot of unused or unusable space.


Jay’s Tumbleweed House was so successful, he went on to start a company that specializes in building these sorts of tiny houses or selling you the plans so you can build your own Tumbleweed House.
