Clothesline Tiny Homes
building the dream.
Why Tiny? Clothesline Tiny Homes will strive to have a small footprint on our natural environment, will allow us to live wherever we want, paying much less money for rent / mortgage and utilities, and will be a fun adventure where we can grow and learn to live with less stuff and enjoy our beautiful world much more!
We started designing it in February of 2012, bought the trailer platform February 25th, and started building February 27th.
2-1/2 months later we finished building and moved into our tiny house mid-May 2012 and lived in it full time through November 2013.
After 18 months we decided it was too small, and would make a better guest house! So now we are building a small house (1,000 SF) DEBT FREE in Southern Colorado, where the tiny house will be a lovely guest cottage.
We both have years of experience designing and building but we thought the best way to learn about the intricacies of a Tiny House would be to design and build one for ourselves.
take care,
Carrie {and Shane}
I was wondering why you chose to not build out further on the goose. I always thought of squaring it up like a fifth.
Hi Rick,
We didn’t build out any further onto the gooseneck because we needed outdoor space for our propane tanks. thanks for the question!
Hi Shane and Carrie,
Do you travel and build for others, like over in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, etc.
You know, “Have Builder, Will Travel.”
John
hi John! thanks for the question!
We have not done this yet and would probably be more inclined to build the house here in Santa Fe and then deliver it. We found that our house towed really easily so delivery wouldn’t be a problem, would just need to be reimbursed for mileage / fuel.

Hi Carrie –
I was wondering, now that you’ve been in your tiny house for a few months now, what’s it like to cook in a tiny kitchen? What has been the best thing? the worst thing about it? What have you relied upon the most? Maybe you could do a blog post in the future? Love you place and the design!
Liz
hi Liz,
thanks for your comment – good idea – a blog about the kitchen. in short, I do like it! it’s very efficient – everything is literally at hand!
When do you plan on having your plans for sale? After seeing yours on a 5th wheel i am leaning that way. As for me being single i would like to go smaller so i could move with a half ton truck is that possible? Thanks i can not wait to live your life style a nice simple life stress free from debt. Thanks Shane
My husband and I are starting to think we need to go “tiny”. We have been renting since we left home for college, and are now looking for a home to purchase. The problem is, we don’t care for anything we’ve seen (nor care for paying the high monthly payments) and it might be because we like to travel and it frightens us to think we will be “stuck” in one place for a VERY long time!
So I have a question for you…..Do you plan to have kids in the future? We would like to (but that thought scares us to), and we just don’t know how it would work having kids in the tiny house. Any thoughts? Maybe a slightly larger tiny house?
Hi Carrie,
I read your article about poop. You might want to update it with our amazing Sanitizer Evaporative Toilet (Patent No. 9301659). It is far superior to current sanitation solutions, especially for mobile tiny homes with the following attributes:
• waterless and odorless
• no discharge into the environment
• no infrastructure requirements such as piping, treatment systems,
tanks or leach or drain fields
• no chemicals – no pumping or dumping
• kills harmful bacteria
• large capacity
• minimal maintenance
• solar or generator power versatility
• simple to install
• compact and light weight
• functional in freezing climates
• environmentally friendly
• American invented, manufactured and distributed
• affordable and customer friendly.
The Sanitizer™ Toilet is unlike any other toilet on the market. It
evaporates liquids and dries solids rendering them harmless for sanitary disposal in the household trash.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Cordially,
