Potential Tiny House?

Yesterday, my wife and I took a picnic to the Helen Putnum Regional Park, located west of Petaluma, here in Northern California. We took a two mile hike through the oaks and along the way came to a pond that had this water tank beside it.

I think it has great potential for a tiny house or a retreat. It is between 10 and 12 feet across and with a floor and door and a couple of windows, I can imagine a perfect little home or getaway.

    If it has a roof, it has potential.

    This did have some type of roof on it. Not designed to live in but kept the blowing dirt out etc.

    I’ve had dreams of converting a water tower. They’re perfect, in that they are specifically designed to take a more than enough load.

      Hi Lance – Yes, a water tower is a perfect alternative home. I’ll bookmark these and do some more research. If you find any others please send them my way. Thank you!
