Small Cob House in Northern Spain

Hi there, I have seen your book on small houses and thought it was extremely nice… In case you’re planning a follow up, here’s a link to the website for our building project here in northern Spain: www.abrazohouse.org We started off with a genuinely small cob house, Snail Cabin, 15 round metres (later expanded to about 45) – 4 of us were living there for about 3 years. Now we’ve moved into a bigger house, but the small one is still there as a guest house.

All the best,

Robert

4-foot-wide 3-story House in Warsaw

Narrow house opening as art work in Warsaw/MONIKA SCISLOWSKA, Associated Press/October 19, 2012.

“Workers adjust a gate in front of one of the world’s narrowest houses, in Warsaw, Poland, Friday, Oct. 19, 2012. The two-level “Keret’s House” is no wider than 122 centimeters (48.03 inches) and was fitted into tiny space puzzlingly left between a pre-war house and a modern apartment block of the 1960s in downtown Warsaw. It is named after Etgar Keret, an Israeli writer of Polish roots who will be the first inhabitant of this artistic project of aluminum and polycarbonate. Photo: Alik Keplicz / AP”

Skateboard Blues – Hittin the Road Jack

Crash My skateboard falls usually occur when I’m tired, at night or in late afternoon. Tuesday night I was skating, using my Big Kahuna stick. It’s like a pavement paddle, about 6′ long, with a rubber stopper at one end and you use it to scoot along. WELL, I guess it was a eucalyptus pod, my board stopped and I didn’t. Fell backward, landed on wrist and elbow on pavement — pretty intense shoulder pain. There are 2 foremost things in my mind when I fall and am lying there: First, how badly am I hurt? Second, did anyone see me? (hoping not). It’s now a few days later and the shoulder is a bit better. Ah me. I ain’t givin up. Not yet.

Deek Pic is of me and Deek Diedrickson, author of the unique tiny house book, Humble Homes, Simple Shacks, Cozy Cottages, Ramshackle Retreats, Funky Forts, and Whatever the Heck Else we could Squeeze in Here. Deek’s not only an author, but artist , raconteur, and one of the most active guys in the tiny homes movement. We met for a beer at The Pelican Inn in Muir Beach a few weeks ago.
