Small House 2012 13 Product Catalog2

2012 - 13 Catalog
Hand Crafted For the Weather
In the North we know wet, cold, and are on a 1st name basis with Snow, and when it snows it really snows... heavy and wet. Our dwellings are designed for local snow loads and the large front overhang will keep you out of the rain and snow while you put down your umbrella to open the door. Or you can pull out a chair and sit under cover, breathe the fresh air and think about spring... We also like sleeping at night! Our tiny houses are built to the same specifications we used as a custom home builder over the years. The small cabin has long been admired and romanticized. Where else would Presidents be born? What could be a more perfect love nest? A romantic hideaway? Could there be a better setting for quiet contemplation? To think great thoughts? Where would Thoreau be without Thoreaus cabin? Could there be a simple life without a simple structure? Peace, tranquility, freedom from the mortgage is yours with a Tiny Green Cabin.

Teachers lil House

By Daniel Woods Williston Herald GRASSY BUTTE Jessica Bolt bought a tiny, green cabin. It sounds like the first line in a childrens book, but its actually a lesser- known, higher-tech housing option. Bolt is a student performance strategist in Killdeer. Shes a kind of special forces teacher who tries to do what other teachers havent been able to do, teach kids who have had trouble learning for various reasons. Its a loaded job title, but it doesnt come with a pay increase over other teachers. And, like many in western North Dakota, teachers are dealing with exorbitant costs in housing.
Wildflower II in Grassy Butte Bolt said she started thinking about a house like this about five years ago, then, more recently, she began researching small, energy-saving houses and finally bought one from Tiny Green Cabins, a company owned by Jim Wilkins in White Bear Lake, Minn. If its built in the north, Bolt said, thats better than something built in California or Texas where they dont know what 40 below is like. Essentially, this is a very small house built on wheels. Its road-worthy. Its a trailer. But it looks like a house, feels like a house and has all the amenities of a house, from a full-size sink and shower to a washer and dryer. It has an incinerating toilet which burns waste into dry, sterile ash. Bolt said payments for her tiny cabin are less than what she had been paying to rent an apartment, and, in a few years it will be paid off. Ill never have to pack a U-haul again, she said.
The cabin was delivered Thursday night from Minnesota to the lot she purchased in Grassy Butte, a small town south of Watford City. There has been some chatter in Grassy Butte about the new house. Don Trotter, owner of the Beicegel Station, the towns only gas station and convenience store said he had heard a couple rumors about it, but nothing very specific. Trotter said the town used to have three gas stations and a cafe when the highway went through, but, when the highway was moved a short distance east, the town started to shrink. Until recently, he said, people have been moving out rather than moving in. The model Bolt bought is 196 square foot, 8 feet by 20 feet, including a loft. The original design had a ladder built into a closet, but she had hers made with a stair case, and each stair contains a drawer. The whole interior is covered in approximately 3-inch-wide white ash boards, floor to peaked ceiling, interspersed with lighting fixtures and windows, including skylights to let in daylight. I grew up with hardwood floors, Bolt said. Im kind of attached to them. You can run your hand over them and they are so smooth. For now, the interior is fairly bare, but she said she has picked out a spot on the wall to hang her ukulele. The only problem now, she said, is finding someone to hook up her electrical and water lines.
Tiny Home, Tiny Footprint

by Kristine Goodrich/Editor | Posted: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 3:45 pm WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP Theyre on wheels and not much larger than a camper. But with a lofted bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and even a front porch, Jim Wilkins rolling residences have all the elements of a traditional home all cozied into less than 350 square feet.
After decades working in the construction industry, the White Bear Township entrepreneur now designs and custom builds miniature environmentally-friendly homes in his backyard workshop. He aptly calls his business Tiny Green Cabins.
Wilkins cabins provide a unique but expensive option for eco-minded cross-country travelers, city-dwellers seeking a cabin get-away, young adults looking for a portable first home and retirees wanting to downsize. While miniature homes are gaining popularity, especially on the coasts, Wilkins says he is the only such home builder in Minnesota. Hes one of only a handful of independent designer/builders who will take the time to listen and custom-build each home to best fit its future owner, he said. He says hes also the only such builder in the country offering what he calls nontoxic homes.
All his homes are made mostly with local natural and recycled materials. The nontoxic homes avoid any chemicals or allergen-causing natural materials. Wilkins has designed 11 models and is working on several more. The smallest is just 19 feet long and 8 feet wide with a petite kitchen, bathroom, living room and closet on the main floor, plus a lofted sleeping area and a covered porch. At 333 square feet, the largest model adds a main-floor bedroom, room for multiple sleepers in the loft, and a fold-out deck. Prices have ranged from $26,000 to $80,000. The tiny cabins all have electricity and water hookups. Toilets can be connected to a sewer system, or an incinerator or composting system can be installed. The interiors have all-wood paneling and floors and feature creative storage spaces such as stairs that double as drawers. The cabins are well-insulated, according to Wilkins (some use insulation made from recycled blue jeans) and several heating and cooling options are available. One of his cabin buyers uses it as an arts studio adjacent to his Denver home. All his other buyers use them as their primary residence, including a North Dakota teacher who had had difficulty finding housing due to the oil boom, and most recently a graduate student in Boston who is now living in one in a relatives yard. A Wisconsin furniture maker with extreme environmental allergies resides in a custom cabin that includes a decontamination chamber between the entrance and living quarters. Wilkins cautioned that his cabins wouldnt meet minimum size requirements for permanent primary residences in most communities; most users have licensed them as RVs or accessory buildings. All the cabins can be pulled behind a pickup and are within road load limit maximums. Wilkins lived in his smallest model cabin for nearly a year. The divorcee gave his main house to one of his sons and his family. Instead of moving into the guest house where he lives now, the elder Wilkins lived in a cabin on his township property until he sold the cabin. Someone issued me a challenge that if youre going to sell small houses you should live in one, he said. And it was a great learning experience because it gave me an idea of where to change things. Wilkins started his business in 2008 after being laid off from his job as a construction estimator. The early months in the business were the most challenging, because he was dumping money into it before getting anything out of it, he said. He was also set back by a broken ankle, but used the recovery time to develop a voluminous website. All of his customers have found him via the Web, he said. He was blessed, he said, to have steady work for the past few years. During the busiest of times, two of his sons helped with cabin construction. He currently has no orders, but hes starting work on his most popular cabin, and based on the number of inquiries hes received, he said hes pretty confident hell find a buyer. Wilkins also sells plans and holds workshops for people planning to build their own small home. He noted do-it-your-selfers need to be well-educated because many building materials, even natural ones, give off emissions that can be harmful in confined spaces.

Tiny House, Steel or Wood
Steel homes are usually screwed and bolted together, while wood homes are nailed and stapled together. A screws advantage is it does not loosen over time, while a nail will. At Tiny Green Cabins, besides screwing our steel framed tiny houses together, we also weld the connections for added tensile strengths and resistance to loosening from road vibrations while in transit.
The steel frame of a tiny house is 30% lighter than a comparable wood frame, yet steel has more strength than wood. Wood Tensile strength is rated at 40, while steel tensile strength is rated at 640 and higher, making steel 17x stronger than wood.
Virtually all of steel is from recycled materials and no trees are sawn down or harmed in making of the steel frame. One of the questions often asked is; which is less expensive? On a tiny house, wood is less expensive with savings of approximately $200.00. For us at Tiny Green Cabins, we consider the bigger impact of liabilities and other potential issues. To us, in viewing the bigger picture, steel is a wiser choice.
