"Luxury" tiny houses

[Gawdzilla Sama]

They're not "tiny", they're spatially challenged.

The best time to move into a tiny house is 10 minutes after your youngest kid moves out of your current one.


My SO and I decided we could live in a 700 - 800 sq ft house.


As long as I have my 1500 sq ft garage.

Had a 3.5 car garage once upon a time. My wife came home to find a '37 Flattie spread out carefully over the entire floor.* She had to park the car in the driveway.

Did I mention that it was raining?

*It hadn't been started in 23 years. And the tires were rotted, I was waiting for new ones.

We Americans love dumb fads like fidget spinners, Pokémon Go and anything Disney and tiny homes are another fad. It's a thing here in northern California but I don't foresee anyone I know giving up their giant cookie-cutter tract homes for a tiny home. The bigger the better - at least that's the attitude of most people I know.
If I'm going to pay $100k for a cramped home, it's going to be an RV that I can at least travel in.

On the plus side, if you forced hoarders to live in tiny houses like this, fo sho you'd cure their hoarding tendencies.

amirite?

They'd just keep their stuff on the lawn.

I assume that is now an ex-wife.

In a manner of speaking, yes.

A taste of irony...

The King has been in a singlewide rental trailer at the coast for a few weeks now working on storm damaged houses. The trailer is overpriced, to put it bluntly. And him coming home "for the weekends" is, well, not working that great. SOOOOOOO we've started looking online into us (him, me, the dogs) renting something there for the next few months, shutting up the house here in Tinytown for the time being. Right now the best option that's "pet friendly" is less than 500 square feet. The trailer I was buying when we met (and married) was close to 800 feet.

Yay.

I lived on a pearson 10 meter sailboat before I got married. I did own a small 1200 s/f house that I rented out. I had no furniture and minimal cloths when I got married. I did have acces to some storage at my business for some of my crap (tools, lawn mower, etc). I did have a cat on the boat, the cat did not appreciate nautical living and decid3d to live on a cover3d part of the wharf, he seemed happier there than the boat.
I can’t see doing that being married with kids, but once the kids are gone I would like to sell our current house and move my wife and I back on a boat.



With confined spaces you tend to not spend a lot of time indoors.

I could see myself living in a tiny house, in fact I wish I already did, but that's probably because I'm single and am used to small spaces. My family would travel for at least a month in an RV and then live out of it until we got a house, all this whenever my dad had to move to a new station (yay, military life).

It was fairly cozy, even with 6 of us crammed in there. I miss my little bunk at times.

So I can see myself in a tiny house. One of those expensive AF ones though? Nah. I'd probably use an old shipping container and aside from appliances that would be my greatest expense.

The dogs and I visited the King at the coast this weekend instead of him coming home. Saw a whole lot of trailer parks with taller versions of trailers----looked like they were one and a half stories. I also did the math and subtracting the part of the trailer he's renting that is used solely by the roommate, he's only living in about 700 feet including the common areas. The two of us and the dogs together in that space did not feel at all cramped or confined. Any less than that and I still think I'd feel closed in.
