Thanks for all the great comments! Congratulations to “fallsomepioneer,” the winner of this book giveaway. Stay tuned for more exciting book giveaways and if you’re interested in a copy of “Building Small” ” it is currently available at ShopWoodworking.com.
This week’s book giveaway celebrates the release of a new book on building tiny houses and backyard buildings (from sheds to studios to recreational retreats). “Building Small” is written by David & Jeanie Stiles, who have authored numerous bestselling books on building sheds, cabins, workshops and other small structures.
The book is a bit of an outlier for our category, but it’s filled with great fundamental building instructions that cover everything from foundations to framing to custom windows and doors. You’ll also find plans for seven tiny houses, ideas for finishing interiors and inspiring tiny house profiles.
