TUMBLEWEED HOUSES

[macroevolve]

Could I get one with an attached mini garage to put a motorcyle in ?

[InFlameProductions]

@macroevolve these companies are usually pretty good with customization and if they don't I doubt it would be very difficult to design something that could fold in for travel or just pull right off.

[SanEverett]

These are cute houses but they are expensive for their size!!

[hh5131]

I love this music. Please tell me who this artist is and name of the song. Thx!!

[1968DodgePolara]

Not that hard to make the plans yourself and build one or just draft one from a basic house plan and do the Math to downsize it.

[Sailor231]

So dope. This is the way of the future. Wait till the crisis hits and everybody loses everything and has to start from scratch. This is where it's at! Brilliant!

[tlynch1218]

@Sailor231 damn straight. this is the wave of the future as baby boomers age, don't even want 1000 sq ft to maintain. i owned a 900 sq ft house once and it was perfect at that time. when i was younger i lived in 400 sq ft and at that time it was perfect. i figure 500 sq ft is exactly what i need today. will be doing more investigation on this for sure.

[ZapeZeam]

Great music :D

[pinoykearo]

I can't decide whether I want the fencl or if I want the popomo. I mean, I'd like to have internet and power in my house, along with a sink that's not like a primitive bar sink. I'd probably go for the popomo, though, and add a new floor, making that floor for sleeping and the bedroom a computer room. Then I'd probably want to add solar panels and keep a battery bank in the back of a truck, then have some alternative power generator. I can't decide if you guys should built it or local builders.

[usersimdave]

Music just does not go

[niketareed]

@usersimdave LOL, yeah-it is a little bit gangsta

[shredabilly13]

@niketareed Yeah rob the houses !

[ahguex]

Would the payments for these house be just like any other typical house on a monthly basis?

[ahguex]

I really like that you make "bigger" small houses also, when I saw the article on yahoo about the 96 sq ft house I was thinking it would be nice if they were just a little bit bigger then I came here and saw there was. Great job!

[rdstrcmmndr]

Great concept, wish I had one. Anyways yeah thumbs up good job Jay just saw it on yahoo quick question did yahoo feature you a few years ago as well? I remember reading something about you awhile back dunno where.

[angelhealer1]

Great concept but too bad illegals are used to construct them. If your concern is about the economy hire legal americans or move your traitor butts to Mexico and anyone who supports this company can go with. Just another get rich quick off the backs of legal americans. Buy a travel trailer and support American made products.

[TumbleweedHouses]

@angelhealer1 Actually, our builders are not illegals. All you have to do is watch the video. The men you see are very legal & very talented artisans.

[browndemon386]

just get diabetes or Alzheimer already

[niketareed]

@angelhealer1 Ummm... the guy who designed them is American, right? sooo...... And you can build these yourself.

[AngelBones84]

These are so alsome ! We have a small house , tho I dont know if you would call it ''tiny'' . Our home is 1050 sq ft and we live here with our 2 boys and 2 dogs . We live things simple and with this house , theres not much choice . LOL . Id like to have one of these one day when its just me and my hubby again , which is at least 18 years from now . lol

[pinkglitter721]

These are amazing! They are SO small in my opinion, BUT I do live in a 4 story house. :)

[Leovenous]

We were considering a property to put a Tiny House on, but the stupid CC&R requires at least 1,000sq ft and a minimum width of 30ft. And they don't allow trailers over the winter, so you can't play that angle.

What a racket!

[Cooldude898CP2]

WHO SAID THESE HOUSES WERE WACK!!

[SpankDaGod]

What is the longest home they bulid on a trailor? Are there laws that restrict length they seem shorter than most rv trailors.

Great Work changing one mind at a time :)

[BookishBirdy]

I wonder if they can get one of these houses to another country. I have some land in the Caribbean, one of the bigger ones would fit well while we build the larger house.

[TumbleweedHouses]

@BookishBirdy The tiny ones can be delivered to almost any state but for other countries, the transport would be too expensive. It is advisable to just buy the plan and let a local builder do it for you.

We only offer the plans for the larger homes.

[mspianomistress]

I want one!!! Looks so cozy.

[TumbleweedHouses]

@mspianomistress They are indeed!  Be sure to visit the website too!

[mspianomistress]

I want one!!!

[tenesperanza1]

adorable casita

[mercurymom]

Love these. My first home was 600 sq. feet...had it not been a mobile home I would still be living in it. They don't hold up, at least mine did not after being moved several times. After building a green house about the size of a small tumbleweed home, I realized I could build one of these and down size from 1,000 sq. ft. to something better...less is MORE!

[consaka1]

@tomdog29 5000 eh? not bad, where do you live exactly? Cant find anything like that out here in western WA anywhere.

[consaka1]

love these little houses. However I wish the website design was nearly as good.

On the website id like to see inside and outside pictures of each one with floor plans. Those are just simple basic things that every other website provides.

[TumbleweedHouses]

@consaka1 We are working on it and there are changes every day! Keep checking!

[FangnclawXD]

@consaka1 Agreed, the houses are soo charming yet the website lacks substance. And they should have it where people can ask questions, although they might get boggled down with too many I suppose...

Anyway, does anyone know of a place in Florida where people can tour these? Which are best in snow? Do they have to be winterized? (I was thinking of getting one when I move out and to the west)

[TumbleweedHouses]

@FangnclawXD we are continuously updating the site to cope up with demands. Better check it often.

For the houses, it can withstand up to -35F. We have clients from Canada who actually toured the tiny house during winter. Check it in the "Testimonial" page from our site

[FangnclawXD]

@TumbleweedHouses sweet, thanks

[doolie9]

@TumbleweedHouses

It's not ALWAYS cold up here in Canada, you know :P

[FernandoTorrera]

how many people can these houses support comfortably 1-3?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@FernandoTorrera Of course it depends upon the model. The Tiny houses on wheels are ideally suited for one or two very like-minded individuals.

[irishkeebler]

B-53 how much would it cost to bild?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@irishkeebler Approximately $100-200 /sq.ft but really depends on many factors. Collaborating with a local contractor will give a close estimate.

[barstoolguru]

I love your houses, for any one that has lived in a motor home will tell you they are very cheap don't age well, roof and seam leaks are very common and then the smell afterwards. the roof pitch on these are great for snow and rain sheading not to mention how nice they look on the inside. a real rustic home look

[TumbleweedHouses]

@barstoolguru Yep....that and so many more reasons too. Thanks for the support!

[monkeystar2307]

could you do a tour of the Z-Glass?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@tomdog29 Yes, mobile homes could be bought considerably cheaper. However, the uniqueness of the Tumbleweed Houses is found in the materials used for construction, the compact efficient designs and eye-appealing exteriors. In that respect, can there really be a comparison?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@ucjre27 Construction material costs have radically increased over the past few years. It is entirely possible that material costs could vary from area to area of the country. Please remember, these estimates are only estimates and are based upon using the quality of the materials shown in the book.

[sradss1]

Great little homes... Although I don't think i'd want to get caught in a tornado in one... :P

[TumbleweedHouses]

@bulgogi123ify In this very tiny case, there’s a wet bath (bathroom as shower)

[LivingMindfully1975]

I love these little houses......but what do they do for air conditioning? Here in the South, that is a concern.

[TumbleweedHouses]

@LivingMindfully1975 A small ceiling a/c unit can be added to keep the house cool in any climate within the US, even in our tiniest house - the XS can hold one.

[skatelivermore]

if i buy the plans can i hire your service to build it or do i do it myself?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@skatelivermore Yes, Jay offers his consulting services as well as making arrangements to have the houses built.

[skatelivermore]

@TumbleweedHouses is there an email adress where i can contact him at?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@skatelivermore Due to the influx of visitors since the Yahoo article, Jay might not get back to you immediately. But if you use the "Contact" link on the website, your email will be passed on to him!

[3656761]

An alternative...I bought a used RV camper in mint condition and it only cost $3000...and it has as much room plus a bathroom and heat and air conditioning.

[templecpa2002]

I like the bigger small houses. The houses on wheels are great because you can be mobile whereas the bigger small houses can't be moved so you'd have to pay property taxes or association fees. If people can live on a small boat, why not a small house.

[clint28012]

I wish I woul have bought one of these homes to live in BEFORE I got married and divorced. That would have saved me a boatload of cash! Plus I would have gladly given up the house if Ijust kept my car. LOL. I found you a niche market my friend..send me the royalty when all those guys give up prenups for a tiny house..

[drivlikeitzstoln]

I want one of the larger ones of these homes. they are so efficiant for a person like myself. I dont mind cleaning, I just dont see the point of having a huge home. As long as it is comfortable to live in, what more do you need?

[DaSkarekrow]

how much are the houses? lol

[transitive1]

i want to live this way!

[ReinhardtHendrix]

Throw a couple of packs of shingles in the back seat of your car and you could re-roof one of these things yourself, with a shingle hammer, in one afternoon

[ReinhardtHendrix]

You know, compared to some of the 300 square foot apartments in NYC that some folks pay a fortune to live in, is this such a crazy idea?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@ReinhardtHendrix Agreed!

[bananian]

@ReinhardtHendrix

they pay for the location though.

[redhotzzzzz]

See Holly. See Holly's next home. See the wheels on Holly's next home.

Go! Holly Go! Holly will stop by and see ALL of her FB friends...one by one!

[transplant07]

the z-glass is RAD!

[uztoobz]

somebody can kidnap you while you are still in your house by hitching it to their car!

[jsystem64]

brings a new term to missing.. now we gotta drescribe their house too lol

[certifiedrunkie]

the music is actually a INSTRUMENTAL from a hip hop song from a artist named XZIBIT

[sider3g]

@ucjre27 $20,000 after finance its about 300 -->400 a month its like a car payment but you get a small house lol not to bad

[theonetheonlyleslie]

too cool wish i ha done but they are prtty expensive



[rayva1]

Would anyone happen to know the estimated cost for the B-53 (743-837 sq ft) Tumbleweed model home?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@rayva1 We are working on getting costs estimates posted soon on all of the models. Check back soon.

[townhall05446]

Neat.

[RockyMissouri]

Thank you, these houses are divine!

[alisoncreamer]

As a Realtor in Hampton roads this would be an awsome way to help some people out !

[DaisyLeader2000]

LOVE IT!  FUN to watch...kickin' music :)

[gothikgamer]

AWESOME

[MimiZ914]

COOL MUSIC!!!! Who composed it?

[TumbleweedHouses]

@MimiZ914 it's actually an instrumental named xzibit, i think i heard this from one of Hollywood's dance movies (step up 2)
