It's a Small House After All

We love Jay Shafer and his Tumbleweed Tiny Houses; Justin wrote about them here and I got into the middle of a flame war here when I thought (incorrectly) that someone had knocked him off. National Post writer (and old school chum) Kelvin Browne interviews Jay in the National Post:
"Jay Shafer knows all about living small. The 42-year-old art teacher and now house designer has been living in less than 100 square feet since 1997. The experience prompted him to write The Small House Book and start his own company, Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, to provide plans and build small houses for others. Daring to think small in a country obsessed with everything big, he has become something of a guru to those who believe we won't be able to afford energy-guzzling monster homes for much longer."
