Learn all the parts of the electrical system of your tiny house. This is the area that most people are more concerned about, but we break it down and show you that it’s really not that complicated. here

Learn about the different types of plumbing products out there and which ones work best for tiny houses. You’ll then work with those materials to put together plumbing components. here
Our goal with this workshop is to teach the most that we can in the limited time that we have. Based on our interactions with many individuals over the years who have set out to build their own tiny house, we have determined the areas of construction that people struggle with the most and ask the most questions about. These topics range considerably, and each benefit from a different approach to teaching. For this reason, some of the topics are taught in a lecture or presentation style format, while others are taught with real tools and materials in a more hands-on format, and some are taught with a combination of the two. Overall, the workshop ends up being about fifty percent lecture, and fifty percent hands on. During the hands-on portion, we encourage everyone to participate. It is up to the individual to decide to participate or to observe. [links]

Tiny Houses are part of a social trend of simplifying our lives by reducing the size and therefore the resource consumption of our homes without sacrificing any quality of life.
As the Tiny House Carnival Committee, our main objective is to provide the community with a platform for education and information regarding Tiny House living. here
We are pleased to collaborate with ATHA (Australian Tiny House Association) as they have been working tirelessly to promote sustainable living all over Australia and are at the forefront of legitimising Tiny House building. more

The first clue these tiny house giveaways were not legitimate were the images of the homes used in the Facebook posts. The red “tiny house” was a Getty stock photo commonly pinned to Pinterest (and unlikely to be a contest prize), and the second was likewise a stock photograph of a tiny house: more
The manner in which users were lured was similar to scams involving Costco, Kroger and Amazon gift cards, but the six-figure jackpot attached to some of the tiny house scams proved a far more difficult-to-resist enticement for some users, advancing the hoax more quickly than those which linked out to sketchy signup pages. The contests bore all the hallmarks of standard “like farming” gambits, intended to quickly build and sell popular Facebook pages to the highest bidder. [links]
Even if the page creators intended only to build an audience, participation in the scam created an environment amenable to scammers of the same ilk seeking to exploit users’ desires and needs to pump and dump a relatively new Facebook page. A large audience could also be exploited by scammers’ mining varying levels of personal data from those who have liked pages of dubious origin. Facebook users enmired in like and share fake giveaways not only unwittingly help spammers litter the social network with scams, they may also risk being exposed to malware, clickjacking, or other unpleasantries (such as finding their names and identities endorsing a scam, hate page, or other undesirable activity).
Moreover, neither page was linked with any major home improvement company or other commercial entity (e.g., Home Depot, HGTV, or a real estate firm) one might imagine would offer up a free tiny house in exchange for social media advertising. Were any legitimate company to engage in such a giveaway, their incentive would be exposure, yet no attendant promotional return on advertising investment was evident in these Facebook giveaway claims.
