IU Law Student planning a Tiny House

From an email to InREA.  If you can help please contact
Chris at his email.
-------------------------------------------------------
Good morning! I will be a first year law student at
IU-Indy this coming fall. To keep my long-term housing
costs down and limit my overall environmental impact,
I will be spending the bulk of this summer building a
tiny house modeled on the "Popomo" designed by
Jay Shafer of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company
(http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/houses/popomo/).

While the iteration I will end up with will look
a bit different,it will still be a solar-powered,
172 square foot house on a flat bed trailer. I
already have preliminary arrangements to "dock" my
home, but thought I'd inquire as to whether the INREA
has seen this type of sustainable housing in use in
Indy before among students or others? Perhaps there
are individuals or organizations affiliated
with INREA that would be interested in the development
and implementation of a project like this.

Any resources or individuals' contact info you would
feel comfortable passing along would be received with
great interest. Thank you again for any help you can
offer!
