Jay Shafer's Tumbleweed Houses

It used to be bigger was better. Now Hummers are bummers and McMansions are so yesterday. Smart cars reveal your eco-IQ and living with less is more.

"Less" is certainly relative. Meet a man who not only lives in a smaller house, some would say it resembles their kids' tree house. He's lived there for 10 years, seems happy, and has made a living designing small houses. He's not the only one who thinks less is more.

It's mid summer in the deep South and the AC is running non-stop to keep the house at a modest 78. The thought of a $8/month electric bill is a fantasy for sure. However for Jay Shafer of Tumbleweed, it's reality. Take the home tour.

I'm a huge fan of Tumbleweed Homes! He was the top story for 3 days running at yahoo.com, 3rd busiest website on the Internets...
