    The Tiny House Giant Journey with Guillaume Dutilh, left, and Jenna Spesard stopped at the Eastern Promenade on Wednesday. Behind them is visitor Ainsley Luken of Kennebunk. The 135-square-foot house (excluding the sleeping loft) took exactly one year to build on a Tumbleweed trailer starting on Sept. 2, 2013. Dutilh and Spesard started their journey on Sept. 2, 2014, from Shelbyville, Illinois, traveling through the eastern United States and Canada, with plans to travel south, then west as far as Anchorage, Alaska. The couple quit their day jobs and make a living working as a blogger and photographer. For more information about the house and their journey go to http://tinyhousegiantjourney.com.
