    Great little book for the new to "tiny life" lots of good photos and good information!
  • 4/5
    Part II of Tiny Houses Built with Recycle Materials is a must-read for any tiny house dreamer! There you'll find the stories of 20 tiny house owner-builders who used a large percentage of recycled materials in their houses. Each story begins with an exterior photo, a floor plan of the house, and a breakdown of its utilities. There's also a few additional photos worked in throughout the story. (I won't deny being a little disappointed that not everyone included interior photos.) While Part II is the star, don't overlook the wealth of information packed into Part 1, which gave me a solid introduction to the why of using reclaimed materials as well as the pros and cons of doing so. Lastly, don't miss the list of resources at the end of the book: Interviewee Websites, General Tiny House Websites, and Tiny House Books (although 4 of the 9 listed were also by Ryan Mitchell).4 stars
