Gregory Kloehn can turn just about anything into a home.
The Oakland, Calif. artist spends his summers in Brooklyn, N.Y. living in a dumpster he outfitted with granite countertops, hardwood floors, a rooftop deck, plumbing and a barbecue grill.
But his proudest creations are cozier structures that he gives to homeless people in his neighborhood.
Kloehn's little homeless homes are about the size of a sofa, but they come with a pitched roof to keep out the rain and wheels so recipients can roll them around town.
So far Kloehn has built 10 of the tiny houses using mostly illegally dumped trash that piles up on the streets in a semi-industrial section of West Oakland. The foundation is usually discarded wood pallets to which Kloehn adds windows, a mirror and a cup holder. Several homes are insulated with discarded pizza delivery bags.
Wonder, a homeless woman Kloehn has known for several years, parked her new house on the sidewalk next to her old home, which was primarily of a tarp draped over a couch.
This is the best home I've had in five years, Wonder said as she opened the front door made from a discarded picnic table to reveal the pizza bag insulation. It gets real hot in here, she said.
Kloehn, a 43-year-old transplant from Denver, is a sculptor who got on a housing kick after building his five-unit live-work condominium complex from scratch.
Inspired by the small home environmental movement, Kloehn started making fully functioning houses out of shipping containers. He soon moved on to dumpsters. Then I just started grabbing garbage and making homes out of that, he said.
Kloehn's fascination with nontraditional homes helps support his wife and two children. While he gives away the homeless houses, he sells homes, bars and restaurants that he makes from shipping containers, many of which reside in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn.

Call it the factory that got away.
In 2002, LG Chem was ready to manufacture countertops in Walker County, Ga., according to Sole Commissioner Bebe Heiskell. But the Korean company instead chose Calhoun, Ga., on Interstate 75 about an hour north of Atlanta.
We lost that, because we didnt have any place to put em, Heiskell said. Thats when I started hunting land.
On Thursday, Walker County closed on property that Heiskell has been eyeing all that time: 423 undeveloped acres fronting U.S. Highway 27 in the unincorporated community of Noble that, combined with 40 acres the county already owned, will create space for a 463-acre industrial park.
The county Economic Development Authority bought the land for $4.23 million $10,000 an acre from Joe Swanson and his son David Swanson. Funding came from bonds backed by the special purpose local option sales tax, a levy of 1 cent per $1 of sales that voters renewed in November by a roughly 2-to-1 margin.
Ive been looking at that property since 2003 and really didnt have any way to acquire it until we looked at the [SPLOST money], Heiskell said.
Three manufacturers whose identities county officials decline to disclose have expressed interest in locating there, development authority Executive Director Larry Brooks said.
The largest factory, dubbed Project Eagle by county officials, would provide some 200 jobs at build-out, he said. The second would provide 200 jobs and the third prospect proposes employing 50 people, for a total of 450 jobs if they all pan out.
Were still trying to bring them all across the finish line, Brooks said.
The business park land, now used to graze cattle, is on a rail line that runs alongside Highway 27. It already has sewer service, Brooks said, and super-high-speed fiber-optic Internet cables through the Appalachian Valley Fiber Network out of Rome, Ga.

Theyre versatile. Theyre inexpensive. And theyre often handmade, by local artisans to boot. The tea towel is more than a dish rag or an eco-friendly substitute for disposable Bounty or Viva these days. Its a bit of graphic art, available in a plethora of patterns and illustrated amusements. We scoured stores and websites for a range of the designs, then asked designers for these 23 ways to use a tea towel.
1. Line a bread basket.
2. Cushion the bottom of the fruit bowl.
3. Wrap up a handmade design as a hostess gift.
4. They also make cute reusable gift wrapping, using them like we do in Japan as a furoshiki, or wrapping cloth, Lookout & Wonderland designer Niki Livingston said.
5. Use stiffer materials such as linen in place of vinyl shelf liner. When the shelves get dusty, just toss the towels into the laundry.
6. Especially during the holidays I love packing up fresh citrus in a tea towel and tying it off with yarn and bakers twine, Culver City, Calif., textile artist Heather Taylor said. This makes for a great hostess gift.
7. A variation on that theme: Use a tea towel to wrap scented handmade soap and leave it out for house guests, suggested Kara Smith, president of SFA Design in L.A.
8. Use large ones as place mats.
9. I love using tea towels as napkins or bibs for those get-your-fingers-dirty meals like crabs and ribs, Studio City, Calif., textile designer Paula Smail said. They look great on the table, and if they are illustrated, they become conversation starters.
