Homes which are 'as small as they can reasonably be' will almost certainly be the 'survivors' several decades into the future. These tiny homes have very low running, maintenance, repair and depreciation costs and rate very highly in terms of practicability, utility, durability and functionality. They are truly 'green' as their 'embodied energy'is small. Greetings, Kent.

Now unemployed I am so glad that I live this life of simplicity. I don't pay bills (except rates) and I grow much of my own food. Most of all I love my little home, particularly in a storm. I am forever tinkering with it, improving this or that and trying to make it as livable as possible. My only regret is that I did not put more power points around the building, both 12V and 240V before doing the plastering.

I can't believe you built it yourself! Your philosophy is very sound: why stress over paying for something you don't want when you have so beautifully demonstrated that you can live comfortably - no, zestfully - with all your treasures and conveniences at such a low cost? I would love to see more pictures if you are able. You have inspired me to move in the same direction. This has got to be the best thing I have ever seen. I can’t believe you built it yourself!

Not many people can do much with that little amount of square feet. I've been wanting to see this house finished for some time. I hope to have something as good as this. Good job! Where I live you need a permit for any size building unless if it is mobile. Awesome house, it’s rather lovely and I’m glad to see you are enjoying it.
