This document discusses tiny homes and simple living. It provides background on the Tiny House Blog community project and the benefits of living in a tiny home such as saving money, freedom from debt and stuff, and having more time. Several websites providing information on tiny homes and tiny house construction are also listed.
The Pueblo Indians lived in cliff dwellings carved into cliffs and mountains in the American Southwest. These multi-level homes were stacked on top of each other to maximize space in small areas. Seminole Indians in Florida built chickee homes on stilts above the ground and with slanted roofs to stay dry in the damp climate. Navajo tribes constructed hogans, which were round structures made of wood and compacted earth that insulated inhabitants and kept them warm.
The document provides instructions for building traditional casing for new windows. It describes building casing for both a vinyl window with a new sill and an aluminum window that reused the original wood sill. The instructions include details on installing the windows, building wood trim boards for the sides, sill and top with angled cuts, using treated pine wood, and caulking to seal joints. Tools used include drills, saws and nail guns, with materials being treated lumber, nails and caulk.
This document discusses various static analysis tools for PHP code including PHP_CodeSniffer, PHPDepend, PHPMD, phploc, phpcpd, vld, Bytekit, Padawan, Phantm, phpUnderControl, Arbit, and plugins for Sonar. It provides descriptions of what each tool analyzes and outputs including code style checks, complexity metrics, dependency graphs, duplication detection, bytecode analysis, and continuous integration reporting. Screenshots are included showing output and integrations from Sonar, phpUnderControl, and Arbit. The document argues that Sonar is the state of the art but still has room for improvement in supporting PHP-specific needs and integrating with other tools.
The document summarizes improvements that could be made to a rock and indie magazine created by the author. It discusses choosing simple photo shots that emphasize makeup over elaborate costumes to represent the subject's personality. Photos were taken outside to contrast and show different sides of the subject. The author's magazine was similar to magazines published by Kerrang and Q in mixing genres. Distribution by Bauer Media Group was considered since they distribute those magazines. Technologies used included editing photos, using Publisher and PowerPoint. Areas identified for improvement included reducing blank space, matching fonts and colors to the house style, and avoiding overlapped or stretched photos.
This document describes the characteristics of at-risk, inner-city youth ages 14-21 that a teacher sees in their students. It begins by listing common struggles these students face such as depression, suicide attempts, drug/alcohol abuse, and teen pregnancy. It then compares "normal" adolescent characteristics to what is observed in these students, noting that many lack family support and have untrusting relationships. The document concludes by outlining strategies the teacher employs to help students build relationships, engage in learning, develop responsibility and seek help when needed.
Christina Aguilera is an American recording artist who first gained fame as a contestant on Star Search at age 10 and later as part of the cast of The Mickey Mouse Club. She has since released eight albums featuring many chart-topping singles. Her image and style have evolved over her career from revealing clothing in line with her early R&B music to 1940s glam to match her more recent jazz and soul material. Her music videos have also changed, from provocative concepts in "Dirrty" to focus more on her performance abilities in a video like "Hurt."
Kerrang! is a weekly rock music magazine published in the UK by Bauer Media Group, a large international media company. The magazine focuses on heavy metal and rock music genres and is aimed primarily at teenagers and young adults interested in those styles of music. It contains reviews of albums, concerts, and bands, as well as interviews, news, and reader submissions. A typical issue is around 70 pages, with about 20 of those pages consisting of advertisements related to rock music.

CONS OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES BY ZACK CHILDRESSZack Childress
Single family homes have privacy, more space and personal freedom. Also the cost of managing single family homes is lesser as compared to multi-family homes. To get a better insight into the advantages of single family homes, read the article on pros of single family homes by Zack Childress, a real estate investor. In this article he shares,
This document describes the main types of buildings used for housing in the USA: houses, mobile homes, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, and houseboats. Houses are single-family dwellings on private land, while mobile homes are factory-built and transported to site. Duplexes share walls between two units, and apartments/flats are rental units within multi-unit buildings. Condominiums are like apartments but are owned rather than rented. Houseboats are converted boats used as permanent or seasonal homes.
This document provides information about different types of houses. It discusses permanent houses that people live in long-term, which are built strongly, and temporary houses that are lived in for short periods, like during trips. It describes houses built for different climates, like igloos for cold regions and huts for hot regions. The document also asks students to think about their dream house and whether it would be permanent or temporary.

This document provides information on housing for sheep and goats. It discusses that suitable housing is important for commercial goat and sheep farms. Common types of goat housing include houses built on the ground, over poles, and concrete houses. Goat housing should be dry, well-ventilated, and prevent damp conditions. Sheep housing is less critical than goat housing, but may be needed in winter or for young, pregnant, or milking sheep. Common sheep housing includes open shelters, semi-open shelters, and fully enclosed shelters. The document provides recommended space requirements for different types and ages of goats and sheep.
This document discusses housing for sheep and goats. It describes different housing types for goats including over ground, over pole, and concrete houses. Key factors in goat housing include keeping the area dry and well ventilated. Housing space requirements vary depending on the age and size of goats. The document also covers sheep housing, which is less important except in winter or for productive sheep. Examples of sheep housing include open, semi-open, and bound structures. Space requirements for sheep vary according to weight, age, and whether offspring are present.
This document contains summaries of several French paintings. The paintings depict various scenes of homes, including multi-story houses packed close together in bright colors, a house situated directly on the edge of a lake, and a three-story white and blue house with little vegetation outside. Other paintings show a woman working as a maid or housekeeper, a nurse cooking in a dull gray kitchen, and a large home referred to as a "chateau" that would be considered small compared to others.
The document discusses various innovative bed designs, including a hanging daybed mounted on a bedroom wall, an elegant exotic bed with a curved wood canopy for romance, and a high-tech Hi-Can luxury bed with a built-in sound system and computer for entertainment and work from bed. The beds showcase creativity in reimagining traditional bed designs and incorporating new features for comfort, aesthetics, and functionality.
This document provides an agenda for a lesson on housing in urban and rural environments over two weeks. It includes topics such as different types of houses, culture facts about unique houses around the world, and scaffolding and practicing concepts related to types of houses. Students will participate in warm-up activities, learn about semi-detached houses, townhouses, terraced houses, apartment buildings and lofts. They will also complete sentences to practice these housing terms in the context of where they live.
On March 1, 2011, Robert Dowling, executive director of Community Home Trust made a presentation about the history and purpose of Community Home Trust.
The document discusses different types of houses around the world including: Japanese houses which are made of wooden columns on a stone foundation and need rebuilding every few decades; mansions which were large homes of the Roman ruling class; log cabins made entirely of logs and originating in Sweden; house barns which combine living and barn space to keep animals warm and prevent theft; and shophouses found in Southeast Asia with a shop on the ground floor and residence above.

Buying a house is a complex process filled with emotions and unexpected events. While initially the parameters seem simple, like knowing the location and size desired, they often change throughout the process. Downsizing in particular brings a myriad of challenges. Finding the right house requires navigating offers from many sellers and agents. Although technology facilitates certain steps, humans add complications. Ultimately, the house that truly "fits" is the one that inspires and initiates the process of becoming a family home. While emotionally draining, closing the deal to purchase the right home is then an easy final step.
This magazine issue provides information on tiny homes and living in small spaces. It includes articles on why tiny houses are becoming popular, modern design trends for tiny homes, expected expenses of owning a tiny home, and easy DIY projects for tiny home owners. The editor's letter expresses a passion for interior design and a goal of personally owning a tiny home to achieve a mobile lifestyle.
French houses tend to be older with materials like stucco and thatched roofs. They often have cellars and two or three floors, with different names for each floor. Bathrooms in French houses combine the shower, vanity and bidet in one room while keeping the toilet separate. Apartments in France are commonly purchased instead of rented, with keypads used instead of keys, smaller rooms, and armoirs instead of closets. House sizes vary by location, with bigger houses in small cities and smaller houses in large cities.
The document discusses what homelessness is really like based on quotes from those with lived experience. It describes the challenges of living in motels long-term such as an inability to cook or establish routines. Homelessness causes stress, money worries, feelings of loss and embarrassment. It impacts mental health and family relationships. The document then discusses the broader housing crisis in Victoria and its role in increasing homelessness, including a lack of affordable housing and social housing. It argues more housing, including social housing, is needed to adequately address homelessness.
The document provides tips for optimizing living space in a small apartment. It suggests replacing bulky furniture with more compact pieces to better utilize the space. Some ideas include switching to a smaller bed, using built-in cabinets and shelves, and organizing the kitchen with containers to store cookware and spices. Proper lighting and decluttering by removing unnecessary items can make a small space feel more open and livable.

2. Why Tiny Homes?
• I first became interested in Eny homes when my
parents decided to sell our middle class stucco
home and buy an Airstream travel trailer and “live
off the land”.
• My childhood goal was to have a “real house” like
all my friends. APer years and years of chasing the
American dream, the economy and reality
interceded. Now the idea of going back in Eme,
simplifying my living situaEon and having Eme to
actually live life has become very appealing.
3. History of Tiny House Blog
• Developed by Kent Griswold in 2007
• MoEvaEon: love of small spaces
• Goal: to discover the different opEons available for a
person looking to down size into a Eny house or cabin
• Looking at different type of construcEon, book reviews,
alternate energy for heat and electricity.
• Encourages:
• feedback and ideas
• Stories of people who are living this dream.
• Pictures of Eny houses and cabins, etc.
4. Benefits of Living in a Tiny Home
• 1. Tiny Homes Save Huge Money
• The smaller the house, the lower
Have House, Will Travel. the cost.
• 2. Freedom from Debt
• Big houses come with big
mortgages. Smaller houses can
result in no mortgage at all.
• 3. Freedom from Stuff
• Living in a Eny home forces you to
decluZer and only keep things that
you use frequently
• 4. Freedom to Take your Home
with you
• A large number of Eny homes are
being built upon truck beds,
5. Benefits of Living in a Tiny Home
• 5. More Time
• Homes are very Eme consuming. But what if you
could vacuum your floor in 1 minute and just be
done with it? The size of your home is inversely
proporEonal to the free Eme that you have. With
liZle home to take care of, you have plenty of Eme
to do the things you really want to do. And that’s
liberaEng.
• 6. Great Minds Think Alike
• You’ll also become a local celebrity of sorts and
random interesEng people from around the country
will strike up conversaEon wherever you take your
home. (This is also true of riding a Vespa in
Issaquah.)
• 7. BeLer Quality Home
• You should, in theory, be able to upgrade the quality
of the home around you because you’ve been able
to cut down on the materials and cost of the home
so significantly. Pubng in that marble counter‐top
shouldn’t cost that much when it is only 5 square
feet. Hardwood floors? You can install hardwoods in
your whole house for the price that most people pay
for one bedroom!
7. Environmental Impact
• The average American home consumes about 75% of an acre of
forest and produces about 7 tons of construcEon waste! And ... it
emits 18 tons of greenhouse gases every year!
• One style of Eny home is made of 4,800 pounds of building
materials each, and less than 100 pounds go to the landfill. Plus
they produce less than 900 pounds of greenhouse gases during a
typical Iowa winter!
8. The American Dream
• Today in America, 1 in 5 homeowners owe
more money than what their home is worth!
Many people are literally walking away from
their homes because of this tragedy. But
that's only part of the story!
• According to RealtyTrac, over 2.8 million
homes were foreclosed in 2009.
• Just think, all those months of making the
house note, paying steep uElity bills,
property taxes, and maintenance ‐ up in
smoke. Don't you deserve beZer than this?
• People were sold a bill of goods that they
need more home than they can afford and
now their finances, relaEonships and lives
are in chaos.
• Being shackled with debt Ell the grave
doesn't sound like the American dream to
me.
9. “I don’t want this life.”
• IN his 20s, Michael Janzen at 40 has all the trappings
of a successful homeowner: in‐ground pool, maid
service, a yard landscaped with Japanese black pine
bonsai trees. He owns an 1,800‐square‐foot home in
Fair Oaks, Calif.
• So why has Mr. Janzen spent the summer building an
80‐square‐foot “Eny house” out of free stuff he
found on Craigslist?
• There he is on nights and weekends, designing a
floor plan whose dimensions are measured not in
feet but inches, nailing scavenged wood pallets
together for the frame, or fixing up an old trailer to
serve as the foundaEon. The iniEal reacEon from his
wife, Julia: “Is this a Unabomber building?”
• According to Mr. Janzen, he came to the realizaEon
that “I don’t want this life — the life of someone
who’s working too hard to pay a large mortgage to
live in this house.” The catalyst, he said, was
watching the value of his home plummet with the
rest of the real estate market, while the Eme and
money required to maintain the property only
increased. “The energy cost is enormous,” he said,
“and the bigger your property gets, the more there
is to do.”
11. cammysEnyhome.blogspot.com
• As I search for simplifying my own life, the idea
of living in a small home without a huge
mortgage appeals to me. However, the
logisEcs seem overwhelming. More so, the
reacEon from family and friends can be a bit
daunEng as well. I decided to take it one step
at a Eme and started a blog about my path
towards simple living. You can follow me at:
