Tiny Houses

[sparks19]

check out this website. These are all houses with only a couple hundred sq footage. they are really cute

These are LITERALLY tiny houses, lol... they're considered "tiny houses" if they are under 400 square feet or so.

Basically, the concept is you buy the land and then the houses out right, so you don't owe money to the bank. Most of these houses are built on wheels so you can move them around.

Cute. I would be so claustrophobic though.

yeah I don't think I could handle something QUITE that small lol

But doesn't this one look like the house from Up?

WoW those all are pretty neat.. Too small for me.. I would go crazy in the small living area.. However they are nice..

How neat some of them are! The trees houses are really cool, but I'd probably fall off the stairs one needs to get up to them!

then you should go for the one built over water LOL that way if you fall off the stairs you will hit the water instead of the ground

What a rude awakening if you was sleep walking..

LOL, For guys?

Just open the window when you have to pee!

Shoot, I'd love to see the plans and how they are built.

I probably could knock one out in a few weekends!

[lvpets2002]

Yup Richard think about the important stuff first == like peeing out your window or door..

I would be too worried about the plumbing to live in one over the water, really! I am spoiled, I want real plumbing, thank you, and not to worry about the water quality below me!

When I was a kid, I imagined living in a small, Walden-like hut, of course, and could do it if I HAD to, as long as I had room to sleep and room for books, but nowadays, I'd want room for Paul, too!

For the water house they probably ran the utilities down the center pole.
It's really fascinating and some of the really basic designs are quite clever.

Did anyone notice the 'water heater" above the wood stove, on the stove pipe????

Oh, and our house is small compared to many, but compared with these, I guess it is big!

[Twisterdog]

If it was just me, I could so live in a tiny house. Well, not with nine dogs ... but me and a couple dogs, you bet! Actually, that's kind of my dream ... me and a couple dogs in a tiny house!

But with a big, loud husband and two big, loud teenagers, and nine dogs ... NO.

Our junk wouldn't even fit in one of those....
