...on Hometta was published this Sunday; this time it was a column by the Chicago Tribune's Mary Umberger. We love it when we get to talk to journalists who really understand what Hometta is trying to accomplish. We were further pleased to learn via her column another factoid supporting the small house movement: Dave Rook, traditional home plan publisher, told Umberger that the average size of home plans sold on his websites fell by 100 square feet last year, from 2,500 to 2,400.
