Tiny Houses Built with Recycled Materials - 4 stars

[Megalion]

This book is essentially two sections. The first one talks about what tiny homes are and then talks about the ins and outs of trying to match up your house plans to recycled materials. Whatever you are able to find that is. It includes tips and advice about finding the right kind of materials you need.

The second part is many examples of tiny homes built at least in part from recycled materials. A handful of pictures and several pages about the making of.

Examples are easy to find online with the same amount of photos and brief stories to go with them. What makes this book stand out is that a comprehensive utilities checklist accompanies each example. That's always a question I have when I look online. What all was done for the utitilies?? Rarely is there any complete outline of that.

This isn't a comprehensive cookbook of how to design or build a tiny home. It is a useful read though because of the discussion on recycled materials and how to find and then work into your house design. The example houses are good for getting ideas from.

Easy recommend as supplementary reading for tiny house enthusiasts who are interested in trying to incorporate some green into their build.

Thank you to the publisher for the free copy of this book in exchange for this honest review.
