Love it. I have  been collecting a lot of resources to build these. Maybe this year!

Those are slick. Go for it Jack.
I live in a 20x20 home with a half loft for sleeping. (approx 500 sf total) It's more than plenty of room and easy to heat in winter. And best yet, I built it myself for cheap and it's paid for.
IMO, A home is a place for sleep and for shelter from bad weather. Other than that, it's nice to be outside.  :)

All of this is gold.  I enjoy being outside in the winter :)

And, you can tell the taxman to keep on a rollin' to. :)

One possible moving strategy we've always kept in mind, especially since we'd like to have a little land, is to build a barn, then park our travel trailer inside.

We could have outside, semi-inside, and really inside, the latter being warm bed space in the trailer.

Theres an old guy who has an old shack on wheels and he pulls it with two horses. Every now and then he makes the news when some idiot pig cites him a ticket.

The two bedroom apartment I'm in now is far more space than I need, even with two kids. Oh, it's easy to "fill it up", but I don't need it.

And that's not even using the fold-out couch for a bed. Do that and the only use of two bedrooms is for the closets.

Geee... the NPR report forgot mention how you don't have to put up bull shit government construction codes... well, unless you build the trailer it sits on too.

There have been a few bull sessions in  Free Grafton about trying to put together a Tiny house this summer.  It's a very interesting subject.  The portable vs fixed Tiny House is an important consideration. 

I'm curious if a person were towing a Tiny House and they were pulled over what the probable cause threshhold for a search of the Tiny House would be, if the "owner" of the Tiny House was not the same party as the person doing the towing. Anybody?
