From CBC New Brunswick:

A contractor in east Saint John is growing his business — smaller.

Leo Girouard and his wife Karen are getting into the tiny home construction business.

Tiny homes, which are built on trailers, have become popular in recent years with the help of a few specialty TV shows.

The Girouards, who own Wee Bitty Builders Inc., and are building their first model. It measures 8.5 feet by 20 feet and will sell for $45,000.

"It's pretty compact, but because of the high ceilings and the windows, it feels bigger," Girouard said.
