Ten years ago, mosha osgood built an 8 x 10 cabin in a friend's backyard for $1500. After surrounding it with quickly growing bamboo, he moved into his new home paying only $400 per month in a town where the average rent is 5 times that.
Osgood was inspired to build his tiny home after paying $1800 per month rent and recognizing that while his favorite spot was his bamboo garden, most of his neighbors didn't use their backyards.
He moved into his new abode “Cabana” and began a 9 year experiment in living with just the essentials. Osgood, a woodworker, prefabbed the entire home and put it up in a day to be as discreet as possible in the tiny urban backyard. Large salvaged windows form much of the two sides of the hut so Osgood, an avid outdoorsman, feels he's living in nature.
This my friend is what the Army calls, Cover and concealment. Very good sir!
Bether than living on the street, but not so much more ?
Better
More people should plant bamboo instead of grass, bamboo is one of the most rapidly growing plants in the world and can sequester just as much carbon out of the air as hardwood trees. Much better than a grass lawn.
Grass rarely grows tall enough to block light out.
i only need 80 sq feet, but uses someone elses 300+ sq ft for kitchen, laundry,bathroom etc etc, it just does not work like that
I’m interested in his brother’s A-frame cabin. Are there any pictures or videos of it?
So he saved 900 over 9 years=100.000 , I get it
Not exactly a house without a kitchen or bathroom
covek zivi kao ker, ups greska moj ker nije placao rentu
He made a mahogany box for change. I think its funny.
no bathroom or kitchen….that is a big portion of your “own” space.
OK as a bedroom, but it’s not a living space. I hope he has a potty hidden somewhere.
he gets use the main house bathroom and kitchen, (said in video) this tiny home stuff is so stupid
Lovely
this is a bungalow. not a tiny home?
Everyone needs to sleep every day. How long can we go without sleeping ? ?
Hi. Welcome to my shed.
Not very easily understandable what makes people want to live in an area where You gotta be thankful for a 400 buck arrangement to share a kitchen and a bathroom out of a space less than a garage in a overgrown = lightless spot behind the house ….
