I Want A Tiny House

[3894]

Fabulous, yes? (http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/)

One of you buys oceanfront property, then we each buy a tinyhouse. Voilà, instant LoT Commune.

Do you have a favorite design?

[flippyshark]

I'm trying to imagine one of these with all the cats and pugs inside. (Or do they each get one of their own?)

[Moonliner]

How large is the screen in the theater room?

[alphabassettgrrl]

My hubby thinks they're fabulous, too. Certainly practical. :)

[Gemini Cricket]

I like the B-53.

[Disneyphile]

I like the Weebee.

I'll have to show this to my dad. He's offered to build me a little art studio/retreat on his new mountain property up in Idyllwild, and something like this would be perfect. :)

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I do not want a tiny house.
A Big Man in a Tiny House is not an enjoyable experience.

[Moonliner]

I like the B-53.

Does it have a Tin Roof?
Oh wait, that would be the B-52. Never mind.

Make him build it in a tree. A tree house would make a great artist retreat.

[JWBear]

Um... No.

I have to say, there is an appeal with these tiny homes, though being a stay-at-home mom in one of these would be kind of impossible.

Half of me wants a tiny house so I don't have to keep worrying about cleaning, but the other half wants a gigantic house (and a cleaning lady).

I have no problem with small living quarters so long as I am really only at home to sleep and clean. If you're actually going to spend any real time in one it doesn't appeal at all.

I was fine with splitting 200 sq ft between 3 people back when it was my dorm room, but I was only in it is for a couple waking hours a day.

Essentially these are very small camper trailers with rustic exteriors. What's odd is that most people I know who say they'd consider living in one of these scoff at me when I've said I wouldn't mind going on the road permanently with a van conversion like a RoadTrek.

But until then, for a movement that's based in minimizing impact I'll say no. I live in 630 sq. ft. when I could accord 3500. I spend 3 hours a day commuting on foot and BART when I could afford doing it in a Hummer fueled by baby fur seal fat. We moved to the world's most boring suburb so that we'd pollute less with commuting (it became possible for both of us to commute without a car).

I figure I'm doing my share until everybody else catches up. Living in a country kitsch mailbox and having to process my own **** is not high on my lust list.

[Stan4dSteph]

Where's the bathroom?

[JWBear]

Out back.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Living in a country kitsch mailbox and having to process my own **** is not high on my lust list.Agreed on the second point for sure. I'm tempted by the idea of seriously low maintenance living but it probably would drive me batsht crazy.

Where's the bathroom?As Alex alludes to, there is a composting chamber pot. Do it where you will, though there is a shower that you could put it in when you're not showering, I suppose.

[Not Afraid]

I love looking at Tiny Houses. I even have the Tiny House Book. But, my house is about as tiny as I'd like (and I can't keep up with it!).

[innerSpaceman]

I only want a tiny house if I can attach it as the basket of a zeppelin.

P-O-S-H Posh!

Summer of 2000, the four of us lived in a tiny garage on a big llama ranch in Wyoming. The garage had been made over into an apartment, complete with composting potty.

The composting potty was really not much different from a regular one. It was bolted to the floor, just like a regular one. Instead of flushing, you cranked the drum handle which rotated the contents into a composting bin under the floor (I think). The composted stuff was accessible from a trap door outside.

I had thought my house was tiny, but oh, these are cute, I would like one for my backyard! Imagine having one to escape to, or have a bed for overnight guests . . .
Oddly enough the radio is playing "sex-dwarf" somehow it fits

[Ghoulish Delight]

I thought the thread title said "tiny horse".

I might be on board for that.
