Transportable Tiny Houses

Prairie Rose Tiny House

Prairie Rose Tiny House

 

Did you know? While serving in the military and subsequently deployed to an overseas location – they will ship the tiny house for free to your deployment location. This is subject to case by case review, and a tiny house is treated like portable housing. Cool

 

This puts a whole new spin on our motto;

“Take your tiny green cabin…wherever life takes you!”

Pictured is our Prairie Rose Tiny House ready and waiting to be deployed.

Tiny House Security

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller

Can one live safely and feel secure in a tiny house?  This week, will be an exploration of the positive aspects and challenges of living small in a tiny house.

Last week started with our laptop compromised by a hacker and malware program. I was surfing “stumbleupon” and a website started opening and our security essentials program, alerted me to the site that was trying to open. The next instant, what appeared to be the “recovery” window of Security Essentials opened and said to run an immediate scan, and started automatically. The next page, a millisecond later, so it seemed, another  page opened confirmed that I had a malware program, and asking for credit card numbers the program could download the “fix” By that time, I knew this was just plain wrong and shut down the computer.  On restarting the laptop, it was discovered that all the files were “gone!”   So, it off to “Chips” to see if they could recover the date and fix the laptop, which they successfully did.  The malware program hid the files and password protected them, so that the technician had to hack his with pass the program.

So, we got the laptop back on Thursday, and started to catch up on admin work. It started raining around 11PM when we closed up the shop and headed for the loft. The next morning, on walking from the cabin to the shop, I noticed that the car doors had been left open. Left Opened!???

A Tiny Green Cabins Safety Feature

Pictured is the Break Away Hitch and Safety System. All of Tiny Green Cabins trailers have this brake away safety feature, so just in case, the trailer breaks free from the tow vehicle, the electric assist brakes stop the trailer from becoming a runaway tiny house. The electric assist brakes also aid in transporting the tiny house as this feature assists the tow vehicle by applying the brakes in normal traffic when the tow vehicle applies its brakes. Tiny Green Cabins orders these safety features as a standard package of a tiny house to make the tiny house experience a wee bit safer for our customers. We consider the tiny house as a major investment by the customer, so we want to provide the best product available for the customers safety and investment security.
