About The Book

Buildings from internationally recognized small living expert Jay Shafer have been featured on CNN, Oprah, Fine Homebuilding, and This Old House. Ranging in size from 100 to 120 square feet, these tiny backyard buildings can be used as guest cottages, art or writing studios, home offices, craft workshops, vacation retreats, or full-time residences. This book is filled with photos, elevation drawings, and door/window schedules for constructing 6 of the handsome little buildings, plus an extensive how-to set of instructions that can be applied to any backyard building project. This revised edition of Tumbleweed DIY Book of Backyard Sheds and Tiny Houses contains many new photos of buildings designed by Jay Shafer.
