Apr 5, 2016 An interesting documentary on tiny houses and the people who have adopted the mindset of essentially just needing the basics. Some discussion over the problems of having these houses meet code. See more Sep 8, 2015 Very pretentious. The houses are cool, but the guy sucked. Watched on Netflix at home, September 8, 2015. See more Apr 5, 2015 I want a TINY house. See more Mar 5, 2015 Boring, watch on mute and fastforward through the family scenes. Unmute for the well known builders, Lee Pera is good. Guy building is not very engaging at all, just watch him blunder through on fast mode. pause for the tiny houses other people have. See more Feb 6, 2015 Really cool. Living small challenge the norm, the societal need to evaluate success based in ownership of stuff. Nicely told story. Simple. Impactful. See more Nov 26, 2014 Good doc on Tiny houses.
