It'll probably be the most personally constructed home you've ever lived in!

Also, who only eat and sleep in their house, do any computer printing elsewhere, and are satisfied with electronic books and small screen televisions. They can't need to keep two wardrobes (summer and winter), and they need to either store food elsewhere or be happy buying basic supplies everyday. Having to go someplace else to do laundry would drive me crazy, and I need to have my studio and office. Those two spaces alone end up being more than 200 square feet! What I notice about these is that the people have no kids, they tend to live in a friend's backyard...and when you really examine the situation, these little buildings are more like a separate guest suite than a home.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138440283381217924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-65126424026930699092015-01-03T06:19:30.016-08:002015-01-03T06:19:30.016-08:00Our house is 1,300 square feet.

See, I look at these tiny houses, and they work for people who can do their lives someplace besides their house - or who do their entire lives on a computer screen. Involved in crafts??? Probably have a space for supplies problem. Do something that requires a desktop pc and a printer/scanner/copier? Do you live somewhere that requires two wardrobes? (Summer and winter, with winter requiring big thick coats and heavy boots?) Do you have small children in your house for any reason? Are you single? Do you have children? I don't think people with a toddler, much less a teen, could live in less than about 700 or 800 square feet, and that would be rough. What I have seen a lot of is that these houses are parked in a friend's backyard, and I kind of get the impression they are more like a get away space than living quarters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138440283381217924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-27972109510542035422015-01-02T10:46:52.563-08:002015-01-02T10:46:52.563-08:00There is no way I could live in a small house!!
