Then we had minimum allowable variation but designing for life needs could really work.

These tiny homes are so creative, generally. I get the tiny home fad but in my mind I'd rather build something small myself on copious amounts of land and it'd have to be sustainable. <br /><br />I could never in a million years actually live in a tiny home unless I had something like 30 acres to garden on, fish on, run around and do all sorts of living on. But, the other kicker is my child. I don't understand how anyone with children can ever live in one. My son spends at least 1/4 of the day running from one end of our house to the other. The days would have to be significantly shortened if I were to expect him to survive in close quarters (and again, the land, and it'd have to be someplace without long winters). I won't even get started on the hubby, haha!rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-87089619376538997432016-02-26T14:54:54.805-06:002016-02-26T14:54:54.805-06:00I've seen makeshift abodes but tge they have a...I've seen makeshift abodes but tge they have a shared bath-no way-or hotplate and microwave and dorm fridge is consideted kitchen.

You have to park it on someone else's lawn/and hook up to their utilities or use their bathrooms when you need to bath/poop/etc. They are NOT self-sufficient unless you can park it somewhere on land you own and deal with the utilities/water issue.<br />I view them as very expensive(unless you build it yourself)hobby house and really not something the average person can afford or use long term(at this time).<br /><br />I love your line about eye rolls at Menard....heheheheslugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.com
