Tiny Homes
"Think large. Live tiny"

 The Tiny Homes project officially began in June of 2018 with the arrival of the custom-built steel mobile foundation(on wheels). The first tiny home under construction is a miniature version of the larger home on the property, also built by Paul. The design incorporates many of the architectural features while having a few that are exclusive to this "Tiny House of Paul".

Paul's unique style and craftsmanship will be obvious in all aspects of his tiny homes.  All designs are 8'6"wide X 24' long X 13'6" height with a loft accessible by a steps rather than a ladder. All lofts have the option for a roof that can be lowered for traveling and raised for a permanent location. This means you will be able to stand up in your bedroom! These home designs are spacious and reasonably priced. Custom options are available for those who place an order with 50% down. Options include: solar power, radiant heat flooring, composting or flush toilet, appliances, hemp & other natural products for insulation & construction materials, location of windows & doors, and more. All tiny homes meet height, weight and measurement requirements for travel & delivery. If you are interested in contracting Paul to design and/or build a custom tiny home for you, please contact us HERE.

Design #1 - Tiny House of Paul

Steel frame on wheels also has steel underpinning for weatherproofing and insect & rodent protection.

Steel frame with plywood for walls getting measured.

Two students preparing the walls before raising.

Pine studs for the basic framing of the tiny house.

Paul is there every step of the way.

An exciting day! The basic structure is up!

The home is taking shape with help from this original oak ladder, built by Paul when he was 26.

Framing the loft.

Reverse rafter with exposed pine ceiling. Three and a half inches of foam insulation.

Amber is Paul's right hand man, or left hand woman, or both!! She is indispensable :)

Preparing the roof for permanent waterproofing.

All materials for the Tiny House of Paul are purchased locally, mostly from Rusty's of Anna. Supporting the local economy.

Preparing the round window frame for the bathroom.

Round window insert ready to go.

The view from the bathroom at least for now.

Work begins on the raised loft roof.

Large picture window for a beautiful view from the living room.

Other end is utility shed that will house the inner workings of the home.

Wire is mounted in preparation for stucco. Cedar trim mimics Paul's furniture designs.

Paul and Amber build a deck to get the feel of the home in it's permanent location.

Entire house is waterproofed top to bottom. Cedar shakes are pleasing to the eye and a nice accent on either end of the home.

Wall inserts ready for the loft. These panels are removable and loft roof can be lowered for transport.

Final adjustments to panels and finishing trim on the home.

Utility shed coming along nicely. Unique window similar to the third floor window in House of Paul.

Finishing the trim and roof on the backside of the home.

Many hot days and stormy days during this project. Time for work indoors, including cleaning the woodshop.

Roof loft lowered in preparation for a storm. All waterproofed and ready.

Stainless steel bottom, sturdy steel frame and now for the first layer of floor insulation.

Every window has a different shape and size. This one is in the laundry/bathroom area.

The upper view from the laundry/bathroom area.

More cedar shakes have arrived from Canada :)

This beautiful storage bump out will hold all the inner workings of Tiny House of Paul.

The shop has never looked so good thanks to Amber's diligence.

Glass windows have been constructed and installed.

Taking measurements for all of the systems.

Second layer of foam insulation is down and grooves have been cut for radiant floor heating system.

Metal heat emission fins will make radiant heat even more efficient. Radiantec sent along t-shirts for Paul and Amber. Paul has worked with their radiant flooring systems for thirty years.

Margie comes by when she can to help out. Placing these metal fins is quite satisfying :)
