Glad someone ask i live in it full time. For now am planing to get a bit bigger house. 400 sq feet will do for my standard living. Small houses is not for all. If you like to save money depending on where you live and country alway have differents laws. From where i live is totoally legal. I have propan tank for gas. Some mini turbine wind generators, a solar panel. Water wise i just get water from a river and boil it to make it clean enough then i mount it on the roof top. I let gravity
@MarkLemonds I let gravity take over. If it rains my barrel collects the water then i boiling with propane tank again. I just refill it when it ran out of gas.Nothing nice it good enoughwhen your willing to live this way I like to think of it a poor man green house. It not big rich like other rich people but, I do have a house to live in am grateful for. My spelling is not great my second language some words i just guess.
If less is more, then least is most. If you live in a card board box, you must have the most. this is a good example of what happens ,when a person hear a spiritual saying and misinterprets or does not understand it. a monk now he own nothing not a belief,thing,or the truth. his love dose not possess like my wife,my kids, or my mom. love help all people inducing his self . a monk see no religions,governments ,laws these are only beliefs of man .good and bad is a illusions
@4shacks1house That’s the idea tho, if you don’t have kids, then u probably can get with this. Even so, u don’t have to go tiny, you can go to a smaller home with about 250 sq ft or go as big as you see fit. No one’s telling you what to do except the ppl who are telling you what to do. Lil tricky aint it? Alternatives are better than band wagons but bandwagons feel better.
Buying 150 acres…if that isn’t an aristocratic way of thinking then I don’t know what is. The Native Americans believe that land should not be owned, that it belongs to everyone. I love the hypocrisy of the “green” movement in the US.
@taurus1269 A person can find hypocrisy in anything, if they choose to be judgemental of others. For example, in quoting the Native American belief, I will assume by your comment that you live in a tent on undeveloped land? If you own a home, you’re a hypocrite. If you rent, you are still a hypocrite because you are renting something on land that someone else owns, and as such, are looking down your nose at your landlord.
@downthecountrylane How ignorant can you get. You’re thinking of plains tribes, who did live in teepees at times, but were a minority. Most lived in wooden structures on communal land. On some reservations they still live on communal land, they simply tribal leadership for permission to build a home on X location. Tribes lived in walled fortresses on bluffs overlooking their farms on the Missouri flats, in adobe cities in the southwest, in huge plank homes in the northwest, etc. Tents, indeed.
@taurus1269 You don’t know much more than downthecountrylane. My tribe has ALWAYS had land ownership. There are some tribes who lived totally communally with no ownership, but in my tribe, the land was owned by the women, and passed down mother to daughter. Some of our women still live in homes on the land that their great-great… grandmothers owned before the arrival of the Europeans. And the whole “lived green” thing is BS. We did our share of damage to the environment.
@LadyArwyn I was referring to Taurus stating that Native American people believed that no one person should own any land at all. As such, one would assume that Taurus lives in a non-permanent structure (a tent, or perhaps in a motorhome, or a house boat) because anything else would need someone owning a plot of land for which Taurus’ house, apartment or condo to be built on. I’m well aware that many tribes built permanent & semi-permanent structures. I’ve lived in the PNW for nearly 20 years.
@HanoverianHorse You should look into buying land first then build a house or cabin yourself. Im not sure how much land is in England but in the States we can get land around 400-800 an acre of land depending on what state. You can run everything on solar and wind power. You should check out SolarCabin, its a Youtube channel. Good stuff there.
I found a custom shed builder. In my area, anything over 160 square feet requires a permit. So I had mine built 10×16. I paid my brother-in-law to wire, insulate, and finish it out. I have no plumbing… plan to use a sawdust bucket composting system, and live next to a mountain spring.
The more ‘stuff’ we get, seems like it was as before and we need more. The more ‘stuff’ we get, the bigger the space required to keep it in. And the more ‘stuff’ we get, the more of the previously aquired ‘stuff’ is forgotten yet we work harder to get more ‘stuff’ and more space to keep it in. It’s a vicious circle that can be broken using the “Six Month Rule”….haven’t used it in 6 months, sell it, give away or toss it.
For some reason i find these much cooler than a big huge place. There is just something special about something small like this. Im definitely considering this as i get older, never thought i would have a house, but i might want to switch my apartment out with a house like these or around these sizes.
I moved in with my daughter to help her with her kids while she finished school and I stored my things in her basement for 2 years. At the end of that time, I gave away what I had and moved into a smaller (less than 500 sq. ft) apartment. I’m free to travel now. 😀 We don’t need nearly what we think we do; I’m proof of that.
There are several benefits to these Tiny Homes. Two that come to mind right off are: 1) The mobility means you can “pack up” and move with very little effort, and 2) These small units take far less energy to heat and cool than a family-sized house. I’m about to start building one, myself. It will be 20 feet long, built on a shortened travel trailer frame.
If everybody had such “intimacy with the landscape” that Ms Little seems to desire, then the whole country would be littered with what has the appearance of public toilets. In Europe 750 feet is pretty much normal for a 2 bed appartment, and there are strict laws covering weight of trailers, so I guess this doesn’t apply. Some look really god and are a credit to the owners
Nice job on this video. Love tiny houses.
Looks wonderful – I’m all for it and love the blue sky too…ready to move
there!
“Sort of…”?
I have a tiny house.
Glad someone ask i live in it full time. For now am planing to get a bit

Irony = Bethany ‘Little’, reporting on ‘tiny’ houses.
God, look at all those chemtrails at 1:30!
Yeah, how long could someone stay in that house before they screamed, “Get
me outta here!?” Too small. Unless you’re single and friendless.
Nice…
I like small house. Really cozy!!
@mkmason2002 Spend time with your friends outside.
For your 2nd home ?
If less is more, then least is most. If you live in a card board box, you
must have the most. this is a good example of what happens ,when a person
hear a spiritual saying and misinterprets or does not understand it. a monk
now he own nothing not a belief,thing,or the truth. his love dose not
possess like my wife,my kids, or my mom. love help all people inducing his
self . a monk see no religions,governments ,laws these are only beliefs of
man .good and bad is a illusions
Even her last name is “little”
Wait till you have kids…Oh!! Sorry you are infertile. Carry on….
@Johnnyblazedanketch less is more. least is most too. the least amount of
logic is the most stupidity.
@4shacks1house That’s the idea tho, if you don’t have kids, then u probably
can get with this. Even so, u don’t have to go tiny, you can go to a

i want one!!!1
mmmmm
the way she think is attractive , she is good looking

And, thank you for proving my point of being judgmental of others. Perhaps
your Reading Comprehension needs a refresher? Ignorance, indeed.
@LadyArwyn And, you failed to mention the cliff dwellings, which are pretty
permanent and not really all that kind to the land.
@downthecountrylane LadyArwyn of the Slapahoe tribe got knocked the fuck
out. Its obvious she only spoke out as a form of ethnocentrism.

Look into log cabin companies. Taylor’s Garden Buildings is one I’ve been
looking at. Buying land here is difficult though.

Most people do not have giant vacation homes like this woman’s friends.

school and I stored my things in her basement for 2 years. At the end of

I like the little purple one with the boat
How do you find the right size trailers for these? What kind of trailers do
you usually use?

Matthew doesn’t want a small space if he is going to build another home
just as a bath house. He needs to rethink what he’s doing.
