Tiny House Decisions with Ethan Waldman

Just over a year ago Ethan made a big move.

Or maybe a tiny one?

In September 2013 Ethan moved his house 10 miles, from the place it was built to the place where he now lives.

He could do that, because he built, and moved, into a Tiny House.

Ethan Waldman of TheTinyHouse.net joins me this week to talk all about tiny houses, how to build them, how to decide if they’re right for you, and most of all, how they afford you more freedom to travel.

We go in-depth about how much it cost him to build his house, the problems he faced, and the great rewards of living small.

Ethan never thought he would be the kind of guy to live in a tiny house but it ended up being exactly what he wanted.

So if you’re thinking “That’s great, but I could never…” or “That’s awesome but I couldn’t do that with my wife/husband/partner…” then give this episode a listen, we might just change your mind.
