We The Tiny House People (Documentary) Small Homes, Tiny Flats & Wee Shelters - YouTube Videos

Here's an interesting Documentary, by Kirsten Dirksen. We The Tiny House People (Documentary): Small Homes, Tiny Flats & Wee Shelters. It has scenes, from several of her videos. That I have seen and enjoyed. All mixed together, into a well flowing story. There are actually 3 Parts. Part 1 (Tiny houses) We the tiny house people. Part 2 (Tiny houses on the move) Summer of (family) love. Part 3 (Urbanism of tiny houses) A spaghetti western of lean urbanism. The links to parts 2 and 3, are in the video description, below. And here's a link, to one of my favorite, of her videos, Tiny Texas Houses' "Willy Wonka" on making magic reusing wood Kirsten Dirksen 283,003 views. This guy, has allot of Big Ideas!:) I just watched, the whole thing, again, for a second time. And I rarely do that...
