I would like to know if any workshops have be scheduled for late spring or summer 2009. My husband and I live in Florida and would need to plan for the trip well in advance of it. We are incredibily interested in building our own tiny home. Thanks, Kim

Hi Jackie,
Great to hear that the small house movement is alive and kicking in Australia. The best way to get a response from Peter as far as we know is to call him at the number above. Maybe you could organize a group to pay his way to Australia to teach a workshop. You might want to check in with Jay at the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company as well.
