			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all I came across <a title="Tumbleweed" href="http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/business/the-year-in-review-2008/">this</a> website sometime last week and I loved it. If you venture to it check out the videos of Jay&#8217;s personal home. I dont know Jay-never even heard of him or his homes until I found his website. I love what he is doing.</p>
<p>Personally I am a huge fan of small homes but I dont think I could manage in such a small space (especially with my kids) but this weeks Plan was inspired by Jay Shafer and his Tumbleweed Homes.</p>

<p>I put a lot of time and thought into this plan. It utilizes every space. For instance The closet in the main room hangs on a pole and slides out into the main room. Pulled out it covers the windows and helps turn the main room into a bedroom. A wall bed above the couch folds down over the couch finalizing the conversion. Place dirty clothes in hamper in closet at bedtime, in the morning get dressed push closet back into place and have access to the dirty clothes hamper in the bath room next to the stacked washer and dryer. Computer desk, wood burning fireplace, built in dinette, and ladder access to the loft and storage in the basement. I left the basement open but you could utilize that space how ever you needed.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This plan was designed for the health conscious person who cares about his/her Eco-footprint. This design is open for solar day-lighting with proper placement on lot, year-round herb gardening in the atrium, the ability to (if local law permits) apply rain catchment systems, discretely hide solar photovoltaic panels and/or solar water heating panels, and do all this with old-world charm. 16&#8242; foot ceilings in the kitchen with large clerestory windows above. Click <a href="http://thedrawingboardstudio.com/blog/products-page/plan-book/spanish-homes/plan-1608/">here</a> to review, rate, and order this plan<br />
