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}

Would you HAVE to get a truck to pull the tiny house? Or would, say, a 2012Nissan Sentra do it?
you would need AT LEAST a 3/4 ton truck, 1 ton would be better… but you could pass on owning a truck and hire a company to move your house for you.
The Sentra is about like my Toyota Corolla that I pulled a motorcycle pop-up camper with. That’s about as much as I would trust behind that sized vehicle. I suppose SOME would consider that camper a TINY house of sorts. 🙂
ps- still have the camper but sold the motorcycle with the hitch to buy a newer one.
