Tiny Free House by Michael Janzen

Least Is most. There's something poetic about pallets. These are just a couple of statements made by Tiny Free House creator Michael Janzen about his project of making a house out of wooden shipping pallets for zero dollars. Any expenses he has will be offset by the sale of discarded materials he has collected...

 
 

Janzen likens the house to a "...cross between Henry David Thoreau’s cabin at Walden Pond and a Tumbleweed-like Tiny House on wheels", but right now it's still a work in progress. Check out his plans for the house right here:

oh it's cute but with the winds last night I can only think of the big bad wold huffing and puffing it down. But I love the idea and can't wait to see it finished

this really captures my imagination--it reminds me of a gypsy wagon from long ago. . .
