Tiny House movement catching on

I'd go with a trailer-framed house myself, but it does limit your width to 8-1/2 feet for towing without a wide load permit. Don't know about the police search issue though.

I've been developing a source for welding up the trailer frames. Tumbleweed has a link to a bunch of different trailer manufacturers: http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/materials/trailers/

The 8.5' wide units (probly less than 18' long) can be towed by an F-150 sized pickup, whereas houses wider would need permits to tow on the road and anything much larger would have to be towed by a larger truck, so that size appeals to me for portability - could be moved with your own vehicle. You can hire someone to move a larger unit, but there's that extra cost and hassle then.

I don't know how we're ever  going to square up the tiny house epidemic with the obesity epidemic

i was thinking
with a tiny house it makes it easier to shovel snow off the roof
and i bet your driveway would be tiny too
and maybe a tiny garage
only need a tiny shovel
