Our newest adventure into the world of reclaimed materials and what one can do with them is the Tiny Texas Houses Project.  We have begun a new phase of expansion whereby we will be using all of the great materials we stock to build 95% recycled material houses that will look original in nearly every way except that they will have new wiring, insulation, plumbing and will be portable.  They will be built to modern codes,  Tyvek wrapped, extra insulated roof, and designed to last longer than anyone who buys one.  They will be true to our company mission in that there will not be a better product like it on the market.  Actually it should be the only 95% recycled portable Tiny House on the market in the USA.  Yes there are others who make Tiny Houses, but none who use exclusively vintage lumber and focus on the handmade quality and details of the old days, with original period windows, period doors, hardware, and everything old. 

We will have at least five styles that we will create initially but we will be doing Custom Tiny Houses based on the incredible inventory we carry and the many styles of the past.  No two will ever be exactly alike.  Clients will be able to come in and pick from 6,000 doors, 3,000 windows, thousands of square feet of flooring, bead board, shiplap, and sidings all from the periods that the houses were originally made from 100 years or more ago.  We will even offer a Tiny House Cloning Service to take a picture of Grandpa's house and duplicate it on a small scale.

The wood is all cured and harder than anything on the market today and the natural resistance to rot and bugs will be good for another hundred years.  Tiny Texas Houses use all antique Cypress and Long Leaf Pine sidings, Long Leaf Pine, Oak, or Northern Pine floors, as well as other great woods like Walnut, and Butternut. The kitchens and baths can be fitted out with original period cast iron sinks, tubs, and cabinets. 

The sizes of Tiny Texas Houses will range from 8'x16' to as large as 12' x 20' with the ability to put a couple units together in order to create a larger space more akin to the multi-generation houses of the past.  They started with the small homestead house, then added on as the wife or kids arrived with the passage of time.  Join us in the adventure and watch as the evolution of Tiny Texas Houses comes into the world, born from tons of materials stored in the 150,000 square foot of inventory that makes up DAA.
