Yesterday there was a great story on Oprah that included a
segment on tent cities right here in Sacramento. I first came
up with the tiny pallet house plans one weekend in the fall of
2008 as a hurricane blasted into the Gulf Coast. Today I’m
thinking that tiny pallet houses might be a valuable temporary
solution for those Americans stuck out in this current
economic hurricane.
Oprah has posted several of the clips from the show online. If
you missed the story you should definitely take a moment to
watch them. This story should really hit home for all of us who
rely on our jobs to pay our rent and mortgage. The sad truth is
that many Americas are stuck in a tight spot between our last
paycheck and homelessness.
The news story has inspired me to come up with a version of this
tiny house that could be built with pallets, tarps, bailing wire
and very few hand tools. I wish I were in a position to go out
and help build tiny houses but I try to do whatever I can to
help. I should be able to post the new plans tonight.
