Building tiny houses in Texas
Everything’s big in Texas? Not quite.
Just ask Brad Kittel.
Kittel builds and sells a line of tiny houses, usually measuring about 200 square feet. He’s the owner of Tiny Texas Houses in Luling, Texas. His small houses are fully functional, coming with indoor plumbing, electricity, a small shower and a loft for sleeping.
You can read about Tiny Texas Houses in this column, written by John Moritz in the Miami Herald. There are plenty of pictures there of Kittel’s tiny houses.
Kittel makes his homes out of salvaged wood and building materials. According to Mortiz’s column, people use them for backyard hideaways, artist lofts and workshops.

This probably helps the very lowest of income people have a place to call home. Kinda sounds weird but I’m sure it probably serves a need. I could see this being popular in some areas.

Thanks for the comment above. I wonder, though, if these tiny houses are actually sought out more often by people who don’t really need them: Homeowners who want a small retreat in their backyards, for example.
