Tiny Houses - NOT

[iris lilies]

These videos were funny! I couldn’t get the audio to work in the one Rosa linked, but I got the main idea by just watching the film.

okay---not in tune with this thread, except ta say that i reckon those "Tiny Houses" will evolve like a consumer product like the Ford Mussdang. That is,they actually start out "tiny", and over time, become bigger and fatter, with more excesses. Just like the Mussdang, which now weighs as much as a 60's Ford Galazie., and costs a fortune. See? But yeah---a "Tiny House" in ca. 2040 might have 1600 s.f., by combining several modular units. Adding bedroom units, adding whatever, and costing $300k. Yup. That's progress. Hope thatt helpps you some.

You are not far from the truth, bobby. Here is a link to the company that started the tiny house trend--The Tumbleweed House Company, started by Jay Shafer and sold a few years later. The original, most famous house, was 80 sq. ft, owned by Dee Williams in Oregon, I believe.

You will note that the SMALLEST tiny house you can get from the SAME company a few years later is 217 sq. feet, and the "big tiny" is 390 sq. ft. I'm thinking that the houses that most of us in my generation grew up in will qualify for the "tiny house" designation soon.

Oh, and check out the prices.
