Moveable Modular Small House System - codenamed Nesthouse!

I am currently working on my prototype Nesthouse Moveable Modular Small House system. This will be available in three lengths, 3.6/4.8/6.0m and two widths: 2.4m Tiny House (road towable) and 3.2m Small House (mobile on site). They range from 8.6m2 - 32.7m2.

I am aiming to have the production version available for sale from September 2015…watch this space for news!

After seeing a great piece by the RSPB on trying to help our beleaguered House Sparrows by putting up communal nest boxes - I decided it was time to ‘Practice what you preach’! These cute little birds were a very common site when I was a child - always nesting and chattering around the eaves of the house, but as with many other species they have fallen on hard times and the way we build now does not give them the same nesting opportunities.

We have quite a population of house sparrows here at Shangri La Farm - usually in and around the beech hedge but I don’t know where they actually nest. So as an act of solidarity with the RSPB I rattled up a triple nest box for them…its just scrap OSB but it will be well sheltered under the house eaves…I have finished it with a coat of Osmo’s superb Country Colour which is very similar to Falu red.

OMG‪#‎tinyhouse‬ all in a row ha ha - Tiny House Scotland - IS a housing developer after all!!!
