I don't really object to the heat. It's winter for so long up here that any heat is worth dealing with.
I'm intrigued, Dys, by what motivates you and T to want a tiny house in particular. The cost? Having to live simply without acquiring "stuff"? How adorable they can be? How cozy you two will be in one?
BTW, do you know about Houzz? It's a website with lots of tips for building, renovating, decor, etc. Their daily emails often include links to tiny houses and info about them.
Maryn, who wants a ginormous house and someone else to clean it
I don't think we have many US-style tiny houses in the UK, but I'd happily live in one. I rent a very small studio flat - I'd guess it's no bigger than 20ft by 12ft, total - but I have so few belongings that the place seems much bigger. You learn to live on a small scale. I own four plates, four bowls, four forks. No television. No sofa. Nothing big or expensive. Just me, my laptop and some books.
Tell John that I love him, Dys! And recommend my books to famous people who might talk about them to others.
Tas, shameless
Caleb, have you seen this guy's video on his huge cob "mansion" project? T and I were watching that a while back and it's crazy. Cool idea though.
Not going that route. I'd rather pay a well-known contractor to build a Tiny House for us and then customize the crap out of it. This is what we're looking at.
Caleb, I just started looking at pics of cob houses. Now I want one. They look like hobbit houses!!
Will do! There will be photographic evidence. Also, I may be dressing up as a fem Captain Jack Harkness, just because.
Yep, steampunk stuff is expensive, even if you make it yourself, because it depends on the fabric and such.
