Tiny house movement, so cute!

[Guest AFlameOfFire]

Hey all, been looking into these, I think they are so adorable, there are so many over at youtube I didn't know which to pick to post, but I figured I would post the first one I ran into there.

I wont post the other one, but what was pretty cool was, is that someone gave this other woman a book (from the 1950's) on how to build your own home for $3500 which she did, but the book  wasn't speaking of building a home of this sort of miniature size but rather, as pictured (on the cover of the book itself) back then, was the size of homes we see and consider typical family size today (which are now going for well over $100,000).

 

Theres various tiny homes over there, both mobile and stationary, whether there is a single occupant or a family, because theres one little home under 300 square feet which houses a family of three in it too. And a mother with three children in a shipment container, and hers is sweet also.

 

I just think these are an awesome option to carrying a mortgage, or an option to consider in the case of a job loss where you couldn't pay your mortgage. You can take residence in one of these.

 

I so wouldn't mind such a little space, Im really in love with the idea of the smallness, and simplicity.

 

Unless your phobic of tiny spaces (which I am not) I find them cozy. But this is probably considered excessive in its smallness of size.

 

Just an option of course, I just fell in love with the idea but didn't really know about it till a few years ago, seems lots of folks are taking a liking to the whole idea.

 

Not my husband of course, but I am now looking for one anyway but I am undecided yet which route I would go.

Man, Im so ready to pack my things and make it my tabernacle! lol

 

I could clean that place in ten minutes verses the several hours it takes me here.

[missmuffet]

But this is nice too

That sure dont look like a mini house, looks too big for me.

 

I think the largest I would go (stationary) would be 300 square feet, mobile 200 sq ft.

 

Im trying to find one actually.

 

Though I love hobbit type houses, the cob (huge round doors). The house in the shire type thing.

 

I think they are so cute

My only concern would be any kind of heavy winds.

My only concern would be any kind of heavy winds.

 

Abraham Isaac and Jacob all had tents, and they lived through the sandstorms just fine right?

 

Although if I went stationary (and small) would go round (sorta like a Yurt) which shape is wind resistent, but cob makes alot of sense because its termite proof and fireproof, you could semi earthberm it. Thats what I live in now an earthberm home (semi) three sides half under the earth the front (not).

 

You could also get wind insurance, or install parachutes on it

 

LOL

 

No wait, you can have an under the earth parking spot for you lighter mobile house

 

Like a bat cave for those windy nights

This is so cute!

I could just park it betwen two trees

 

 

 I like that little one

 

But I like the size and interior of this one below it

I just thought of something, theres just no way I can climb up and down a ladder to get in and out of bed.

 

I'd need my bed located on the floor part (not in the loft part).
