UPDATED for the Fall 2016 Tiny House Project. The tiny house is all about making decisions much like you would make for a traditional house. The main difference is that many of the appliances, materials, and other components have to be chosen with an additional set of criteria not often required for a traditional house–things like weight, space (footprint) and cost. The very act of moving a house becomes a problem for certain materials like tile, sheetrock and copper pipes. There is always some “work-around” to make those things work in a tiny house; they just require closer scrutiny. Below is a (working) list of components and materials chosen for the Tiny Dawg House.
