Online re-use store shop Yerdle partnered with Tiny House Giant Journey’s couple Guillaume Dutilh and Jenna Spesard to host a BBQ and open house of the couple’s tiny home on Sunday.
Dutilh and Spesard, with their dog Salies, are making their way up to Alaska in their tiny home, and stopped in San Francisco to show their home, and talk about the tiny house trend.
Yerdle is an online and app store, based out of the Mission, where users can post pictures of things that they want to get rid of, and are given “Yerdle dollars” as credit, which they use to buy other things from the Yerdle website.
“[Yerdle] is about how do I reduce my cost by not buying new stuff? How do I reduce my footprint on the Earth by reducing the amount of waste that ends up in a landfill? And how do I have a happier simpler life?” said Matthew Lewis of Yerdle.
Dutilh and Spesard have been driving across America for the last seven months.
“We gave ourselves a year to be on the road, and we will reassess the situation. By the end of August it’ll be year,” said Dutilh, who added they may continue to travel, or they may settle down somewhere.
About 50 people came out for the event from families to couples interested in the tiny home trend, and the line to get inside the small house was constant all afternoon.
“About 6,000 people have walked through our house,” said Dutilh, who said they have hosted about 20 open houses in the last seven months.
