Tiny Houses Built From Hollowed Out Logs in 1800s

From the Tiny House Blog, worth checking often for anyone interested in the subjext:

“Zol Fox emailed me an interesting article showing some of the logging history of the Northwest and included in the email a couple of pictures of tiny houses built from hollowed out logs.

The size of the trees that were taken down in the Northwest 150 years ago is something impressive. We are not likely to see anything like this in this area ever again. Below I’ve shared a few of those photographs.” https://tinyhouseblog.com/tiny-house/tiny-houses-of-the-historic-northwest/

Modernistic tiny house (a la Dwell mag)

“…a 220 sq. ft. tiny home that is ‘total livability designed for mass production.’ It is small and deluxe, with “top of the line appliances, a gourmet kitchen, a full projection screen to watch your favourite movies, and an outdoor patio. This and more comes standard with the L41. ‘Versatile and affordable compared to conventionally-sized houses, it was “conceived for a generation that understands small is beautiful, and that believes in the importance of the preservation of our precious resources.'”

300 sq. ft. rustic cabin, solar elec., close to ocean Washington $49,000

Just discovered this site that seems quite active, tiny homes for sale all over the country. It’s fun looking through the listings, the same way I like to look at the rural land and homes for sale in The Mother Earth News classifieds. None of these seem cheap compared to build-it-yourself, but compared to a house with mortgage…

“Log cabin with a large living room, 2 bed rooms (or one bedroom upstairs and a study/office), extra loft for sleeping or storage, 2 covered porches (front and back and wrap around on the side) and even a small balcony and a car port!
