Plan, design, and build a tiny house from scratch**
The Tiny House Handbook is a comprehensive guide to everything you
need to know to construct your very own tiny house. Produced in Charlie
Wing's signature "visual handbook" style and jam-packed with full-color
illustrations and diagrams, this book includes step-by-step instructions
for building a tiny house as well as information on cost estimating and
design requirements.
Based on 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) Appendix Q, this book
includes sample construction drawings and floor plans for a variety of
tiny home styles, including:
- Mobile (8'6"-wide trailers and RVs)
- Movable (12'-wide, routine transport permit)
- Site-built (up to 20' wide)
Rather than being just another inspirational collection of tiny home
photographs, The Tiny House Handbook constitutes a complete and
fulsome reference for anyone seeking to build their own tiny home. From
seasoned construction vets to total novices, this book will walk you
through the process of designing and building a tiny house from start to
finish.
