Towards a better tinyhouse. Chest freezer as a fridge. They are much more energy efficient than a normal fridge or bar fridge. They can also be quieter than most bar fridges. All you need is an external thermostat widget, plug the freezer into the widget, then put its temp sensor in the freezer, set it to the desired temp and you are all set. Apparently they make these widgets for home brewing purposes. They are about $60-$80. Some links for your convenience:. Http:/ www.google.com/search? It would be ni...

Interesting essay | Towards a better tinyhouse
https://towardsabettertinyhouse.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/interesting-essay
Towards a better tinyhouse. Oh man, this essay. I’m posting it before I’m even done reading it. When I went to go read it I didn’t know tinyhouses might be involved, I just thought – you can say that again. It’s by the guy who runs Polyface Farms, who starred in The omnivore’s dilemma (okayish) and I had also heard of elsewhere before. You’ll notice he specifically bashes bad zoning and the minimum square footage reqs. 8211; No, I do not accept that it is okay to be forced to act like a criminal just to ...
