With all the serious news lately, I wanted to go a little on the softer side.  I hear so often that you don’t get much home in Hawaii compared to the mainland.  but I thought I would share with you a home that is a little smaller than your average Hawaii home.  You will be telling yourself that your place is just fine after seeing that. To me that is just silly.  Where would you put the flat screen?  Good thing it is on wheels, so he can wheel it to the dump when he comes back to reality.  J/K

Shafer grew up in a 4,000-square-foot home in Mission Viejo, Calif., but downsized in 1997 while teaching art at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. “I was fed up with maintaining and paying for more space than I needed, so I built a 100-square-foot house to meet my needs rather than adjusting my needs to the space,” he says. “It took about 400 hours, or two months with help from my friends.”

Downsizing is right!
