Tiny House Village Network

This looks pretty interesting. Unfortunately, to join, you have to pay a "donation" of $10. I think that it's reasonable to charge a fee for the hosting of a network, but I'm also unsure as to what I will receive in return. Is it simply access to communication with other people in the network? How do I know if I will get more than what I can access on facebook?
Should I set up a network for Canadian tiny-homers?

Starting to model the house!

Terribly exciting, no? I've started to work up some of our early drawings in 3d, using google sketchup. We'll be producing lots of these images in the next little while, and learning how to make our 3d models available to anyone who wants to edit them as well.

We've also gotten our hands on Sketchup 7 Pro, so we can export to CAD and all that jazz.

Communities

So I've been trying to find some existing online communities which would be interested in the project, or already have some resource which we may be interested in. One that I've come across is the Tiny House Forum, where there is lots of chatter about the specifics of building tiny homes from people who have done it or are doing it.

Tiny House Village Network

The tiny house village network has a brilliant idea. They're working to network tiny (mostly mobile) home owners with people willing to host them on their properties. This was my original plan for land to put the house on, so I'm so excited that someone is already on it.
