“…Dean and his girlfriend, Marie, had since moved into their bus in South East Portland. They wanted more space for a garden and animals and asked my Mom if they could park their bus on some property she owns in the Columbia River Gorge. Six months ago, they moved out of a driveway in Southeast and into the Columbia River Gorge. They are setting up a greenhouse, extensive garden, rabbits, pigs, outdoor shower and 400watt solar set up.

Mike Basich was our featured builder in Tiny Homes. This is his home built of rock, local timber, steel and glass in the High Sierras of California.
Mike is the featured speaker at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, Calif. on May 18th. I’m doing a presentation just after Mike on Tiny Homes on the Move (in which we show Mike’s pickup truck/camper/snowmobile carrier).
