Watch the video below and vote to be entered into a contest!
The other day I read a fascinating post on the blog “Tiny House Talk” about transforming an out building (not an outhouse!) into a tiny house and renting it on Airbnb.
See that post here: “Before and After: Tiny House Backyard Studio Transformation.”
Here’s one of the photos of the “before.” Yech!

This cover was designed by Ken Raney of Clash Creative.
I think my character, Berly Charles, in my novella “Big Love,” which is part of the Coming Home: A Tiny House Collection, would absolutely jump at the chance to dig into this project! Berly has a mind of her own, runs her own tiny house construction business, and isn’t afraid of projects. Which is a good thing, since the other character in the story, Nathan “Rafe” Rafferty, is quite a project.
But the blog post linked above got me thinking. And here’s what I thought in a video. Watch it and vote! Out of everyone who votes, I’ll pick one winner to receive a copy of “Coming Home,” which includes my novella — and six others!
Fantastic idea, Mike!!
Ha! The post or the garage? The garage was Deb’s idea first. We’ll see what voters say.
I vote YES! I love the tiny house idea and think you could make a lovely, cozy place out of 300 sq. ft. Do it!

Hello friend! Good to hear from you. It could be fun … after the work was done! Fortunately, I would not be doing the work … no one would want to stay in the tiny house I would create. LOL!
Yes I would for a very short period. I t would work for special occasions
That’s kind of what I think, too, Becky. I would love to have a tiny house for use as, say, a lakeside cottage or some such. Thanks for visiting!
Yes!!!!! We have college world series where housing is hard to find. If I had an outbuilding I’d love to do this. My husband won’t give up the garage. Better yet. I’d love to live in the tiny house and rent out my big house!
I have 0 skills in remodeling, so we’d be looking at paying someone else to do the work. The good thing is, this is an extra room attached to the garage. So we keep our garage.
