This looks like the kind of house my parents used to live in when they went to pick cotton in Arkansas. Perhaps ours was a little bigger but the whole family stayed there. At the time I was about 3-5 years of age. I would recommend John Grisham's "The Painted House" to learn of a whole different life style. Part of our history.

How many were in your family? How was the experience? (even though you were young) And wow on picking cotton--that is back-breaking work.

I'm beginning to feel more and more like we're headed where the chickens are ending up. In little cages that we can't move about in.

If we use salvaged materials and start building small, there is enough vintage materials on the ground now ready to be salvaged to build the next generation of housing without cutting down a single tree. Seems like a smart path to consider.

Tiny Texas Houses

Not everything is bigger in Texas. Tiny Texas Houses, based in Luling, Texas, is a company "building the future with the past." Each of the tiny houses is made from recycled salvage materials. As the company says on the website: "After a generation of having it all and wasting so much, perhaps it is time to consider keeping it small and preserving what we have before we waste more of our limited resources."
