Milton Miller
I’ve spent more than 20 years working in almost every facet of the building world, including concrete, foundations, log homes, custom homes, and metal roofing. Over the years, that hands-on experience grew into broader roles involving commercial hotel projects, permitting, residential project management, and modular construction. Having seen the process from so many angles, I write to share practical, real-world insight and help people understand what it actually takes to make their tiny home dreams come true.
