Joshua Engberg is one-half of the duo behind Tiny House Basics. In
the summer of 2014, Joshua and his wife, Shelley, started to build
their first tiny house. The goal was to simplify their lives and
return to the basics. Downsizing and redefining ‘necessities’ was
only the beginning. As avid campers and off-road fans, they were
used to smaller spaces and only having essentials on trips. So they
thought, ‘why not live like this 365 days a year?’ Moving into a
Tiny House was a new challenge that brought its highs and lows.
With the help of Tiny House Nation and many talented friends, they
finished their self-designed 374 sqft home in 18 Days! Today they
live in their tiny house full time and couldn’t be happier. Shelley

"Joshua & Shelley address one of the biggest questions when it
comes to going tiny: 'how can you live well with another person?'
Like the rest of the book, the answer is remarkably satisfying. -

"Andrew and I live and work together full time in our tiny house
and we know from firsthand experience what challenges these
circumstances present. Shelley and Joshua totally get it too and
have learned the secrets to a successful and thriving relationship
in a small space. In Tiny House Basics they eloquently share
valuable tips that anyone can greatly benefit from, whether they
live tiny or not. - Gabriella and Morrison, Tiny House Build
"It is one thing to read a book about the theory of a transition.
It is quite another to read one based on someone's personal
testimony of transition. Joshua and Shelley have nailed it in
regards to balancing tips with case study. Their emphasis on being
realistic in all things - from design to daily living - is both
important and inspiring. In my 9 years of being active in the
modern tiny house movement I have not yet read such a well thought
out book for those at all stages of the "going tiny" process." -
Andrew M. Odom, Tiny r(E)volution, author, speaker, and practical
strategist
"Outstanding! Josh and Shelley's book not only gives us a new
perspective on what happens behind the TV cameras, but more
importantly, it gives us a behind-the-curtain view into the
realities and challenges of building a tiny house. The format is
easy to understand, thorough, and a must read for anyone who's even
THINKING about building a tiny house. The good news is that I now
have another resource to add to my tiny house library. The bad news
is that I'll have to cancel my own plans to write a book because I
think they've covered it all!" - Michelle Boyle, writer at My Empty
Nest & My Tiny Perch
"Tiny House Basics is honest about the journey. Joshua and Shelley
get you thinking about what you can do to live a little simpler,
even if you're not building a tiny house." - Mario Soto, Tiny House
MD.
"With the creativity, quality and success of their tiny house
build, Joshua and Shelley of Tiny House Basics have proven
themselves to be experts in the tiny house community." - Jewel
Pearson, Tiny House Trailblazers
"Shelley and Joshua offer great advice on how to make a tiny house
work for two. They demonstrate how a strong foundation and good
communication are essential -- not only in building a tiny house,
but in living and thriving in one!" - Alek Lisefski, from The Tiny
House Project
"Tiny House Basics gives you a front row seat to the mindset and
process of becoming a tiny house dweller for the long haul." -
