Could you build a house for less than $1,500? That’s how much 14-year-old Luke Thill spent when he built a tiny house in his backyard in Dubuque, Iowa, last year. The 55-square-foot home includes a kitchen and sleeping loft and is wired for electricity!
Although Luke’s tiny home is a part-time getaway, many people are deciding they can live with less stuff and less space. They’re building tiny houses to match their downsized lifestyle. Many tiny homes are smaller than 300 square feet, or one-third the size of a typical classroom.
