Tiny Houses

[Shlup]

I would love to live in a very small house in the distant future. My Nana and Pa live in a very small cabin in the mountains, and I would be thrilled to steal it out from under the rest of my family once they're dead. They actually have three tiny log cabins in a row--each a different size. One is just a bed and a bathroom and a stove, the next is a studio, and the one they're currently living in has a jacuzzi tub, a dining space, and a room in the back where they grow weed. They also have nice outdoor seating areas.

For now, though, I need a big house to raise children and have my own craft space.

I'd probably get claustrophic and flip my trout.

You guys are ridiculous; some of those designs are as big or bigger than some apartments.

[Agent Proto]

Imagine living inside this.



Yes, that is a home.

I don't care how tiny it is as long as I have internet and air conditioning. It's still better than the street. Trust me.

Eh. I did a year in 56 square feet. It's doable if you set it up right. Consider though, that I had a separate shower/toilet and ate out or from microwave/mini fridge meals the whole time. My personal favorites for wonky home design are the Dome house by monolithic.
Monolithic Dome homes, schools, churches, storages, gyms and more

Pro-tip for tiny living spaces: Stringing a hammock corner to corner of the room with carabiners eliminates the room a bed would take up, and takes about two seconds to hang against the wall in the morning.

Anyway sharky is hinting I can get a house for 40 grand + cost of land. Do want.

It helps the he and his father are competent with carpentry, plumbing, and wiring but yes, he saved a lot by building on his own.

I once knew a guy who at age 24 or so built an entire house from scratch. He did the whole thing by himself over the course of a year or something, working 18 hours a day. I don't know if I've ever been so impressed.

I would definitely live in one of the cottage style ones! I have no problem with smaller ones, but if it's going to be a "house" it might as well be a little bigger. I currently have a 400 sq ft apartment and I'll probably get something <200sqft when my lease is up because I simply don't use the space at all!
