I'm all for that, though around here zoning would be an issue.

There's a young couple down the street from me who built a "tiny house" although they deviated from the original plans to make it their own. They built it entirely themselves and many people have asked them to build one for them. Problem is that their little 150 sq.ft. house is in on wheels (yeah, zoning) and they can only live in it for a certain number of months before they build the actual house. They've told me that the County car has been spotted driving by but so far, so good. It's been over a year since they moved in but...sssshhhh!

There's also a small yurt up the street from me but it's a cottage so apparently it's there to stay even though they don't have a bathroom and rent a port-a-potty.

I don't get it.

The tiny house is fantastic. Why can't a tiny house be built to live in permanently? Makes no sense. One reason they were given (after it was built) is that the entrance door isn't quite wide enough if they ever have to call 911. There are many more reasons but I just can't remember them all.

I like my property but my house was built in the late 1960's so it has it's issues. I'd love to tear it down and I think I could live comfortably in this:
tumbleweedhouses.com 

Different materials, more windows, probably more square footage...hah!

Our cabin is in a place that is considered rec property and out of approx 50 lots at least 1/2 are full timers. The county doesn't allow it, but no one has ever gone up to a door and insisted the occupants must leave or else. Some of these houses are on foundations, but the rules apply to everyone. I can understand having basic rules, but I am for less govt all around, so I don't usually have much nice to say about busy body govt agents.

And as you know, that kind of dirt house would never stand up to our harsh weather. I'd give one a yr or two before it falls apart. They would be very well suited for the desert.

As for the tumbleweed houses......................I know we'd like to downsize some day, but those are a little too small for my liking. If it were just me...........well that's another story.

They did a nice job. It's funny that Battlefield and Modern Warfare video games are so popular because they copy real-life combat action with photo-realistic environments, now they made a real-life video to copy video game action.
