Tumbleweed tiny houses: living in a small house

submitted by oxdottir

How To

I've had a complete fascination with these tiny houses for a while now. I have fantasies about finding some land in the woods and puting a collection of tiny houses on them for a small community. I love the detail and the use of boating technology in them. One guy said he spent about $120 on energy in a year, living in snow-belt Idaho. They definitely leave a small footprint on the ecosystem.

On the other hand, I don't know what channels this should go in. To me it's philosophy and cute, but somehow I don't think others will agree...

in these days of extravagant, worthless McMansions, small houses are a refreshing and sensible choice

Here's their official site: http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/home.htm

These houses are fascinating, I've been looking at them for some time now as well, but I can't help but think that were I to try and live in one, I would go absolutely batshit insane from the claustrophobia... especially in the winter, I've read of people who live in them year round, I don't know how they do it.

How do you think some people make long solo ocean voyages? Living in a small space can be very comfortable and satisfying. Simplicity can be liberating.

Exactly. I have one of these micro-houses in every room of my McMansion, and each micro-house has a micro-dollhouse in it.
