How much space do you really need? Some Chattanoogans are choosing to live in houses with only 190 square feet of living space--about the third of the size of a single-wide mobile home. In this segment, Travis Pyke of Wind River Custom Homes (a local company that builds these domiciles) and Hannah Shadrick and Mary Ann Twitty of Tiny House Chatt join us to talk about the appeal of living in these small, portable, energy-efficient buildings.
They have a Kickstarter campaigngoing on until Feb. 14, with a goal of $18,000. They're looking to build a showcase home, which is part of their overall plan to create a tiny house community in Chattanooga.
