SEATTLE AVENUE

Since 1997 Jay Shafer has been living in houses smaller than some people’s bathrooms. He called the first of his little hand built houses Tumbleweed. Jay’s decision to inhabit just 100 square feet came from some concerns he had about the impact a larger house would have on the environment and because he just did not want to maintain a lot of unused space. In 2004 he sold Tumbleweed and built the 70 square foot structure he lives in today. He calls his new place Weebee or XS House (as in “extra small”) and he is offering all of us several models of small homes that he delivers for a price per mile. If you need more space, you can attach several small modular models together.
