Jay Schafer

In this photo taken Oct. 14, 2010, Jay Schafer, owner of Tumbleweed Tiny Houses is seen in front of the tiny house he built for himself in Graton, Calif. In a country where most people want to live large, Schafer helps people live small. The California homebuilder has become a leader in a small but growing corner of the American housing market: the tiny house. Schaefer, who lived in a 89-square foot house with his wife before his son was born last year, builds houses that are smaller than most people's living rooms. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
