Charlie is a master at demystifying the seemingly complex process of homebuilding. This book will help you live both comfortably and lighter on the land.“ -John S. Crowley, CEO of FACET and Board member, Build It Green Plan, design, and build a tiny house from scratch The Tiny House Handbook is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know to construct your very own tiny house.

Well written and illustrated in his usual very clear style. Recommend this book to anyone with an interest in tiny houses.

  • Looking for a step by step how to, this is more of a reference book
Format: Paperback
My intentions are on figuring out the "how" to build a tiny house. This is a good reference book, but frankly speaking, I think you are better off looking at various youtube videos to get an idea of how to build and using the book secondary as a reference.

  • All You Need to Know!
Format: Paperback
Having had a fascination with tiny houses for many years, I have checked out various books and publications with illustrations of cozy, compact dwelling spaces. Now, finally, I found this comprehensive handbook that explains step-by-step and with great detail how to build a tiny house. Charlie Wing does not miss a thing in this book and I am encouraged that I can confidently follow his plans and instructions with my novice building skills. Whether you want to build a house on wheels or the mother-in-law suite in the backyard, all you need to know is in this book and I'm thinking it may be time to get into action. This book will definitely pay for itself with its practical advice. ... show more

  • Total garbage product.
Format: Paperback
1 piece of paper is what you get. A middle schooler could have done better. I would recommend going through Etsy for this.

  • Its a builders book not specifically about tiny homes
Format: Paperback
A good book with drawings of joints and attachments for framing and permit quality construction. If you are familiar with construction this is best used as a coloring book with your kids, or fire starter, or both! Marshmallows and fun at the fire will ease your pain of having paid cash for this book.. ... show more
