Big state, tiny house
Everything might be bigger in Texas.
But 84 Lumber plans to unveil its redesigned “Degsy” tiny house at the Tiny House and Simple Living Jamboree in Austin, Texas. The event runs Aug. 23–26.
The company recently enhanced the contemporary, single-level model to include more storage, custom elements, and living space to appeal to those who prefer simpler, smaller homes. Event-goers will be able to tour the tiny house and meet with experts from 84 Lumber’s Tiny Living team.

Launched in 2015, the Tiny House and Simple Living Jamboree is the world’s largest celebration of the growing movement toward simpler lifestyles. The event highlights the latest trends in tiny houses and other tiny structures while raising awareness of eco-friendly practices, products and services. It also seeks to educate attendees on current issues surrounding the housing market.
“The conversation around tiny houses and simplicity is rapidly growing,” said Thom Kuntz, 84 Lumber’s director of merchandising and head of the company’s Tiny Living program. “We’re excited to play a role in promoting lifestyle habits that are more efficient, manageable and environmentally responsible.”
84 Lumber implemented its Tiny Living program in 2016 with the introduction of four tiny house models.
Aside from the Degsy, the company also offers the cottage-style Shonsie, the rustic-style Countryside and the cabin-style Roving.
