unfill houses

Someday, I would really like to live in something like a Tumbleweed Tiny
House
.

Wouldn’t it be awesome, in my neighborhood of knock-em-down developers
building McMansions, to knock down our ranch and put up a tiny, tiny 100
square foot house? I would love that.

Like a gas, I think our stuff expands to fill the space we’ve got. The
reverse could be true in a tiny house… paring down to the bare
essentials. Simplify, simplify, simplify.

I want one made of stone.

  1. I’d follow your lead. I much prefer a too-small place to a too-large place, I think. Plus, think how little time it would take to clean your house!

    I like how the website shows some of the houses hitched to the back of a truck. See, you CAN take it with you!

  2. As a classmate said in 10th grade English when we studied Thoreau, “Wouldn’t it have been simpler just to say ‘simplify’ once?”

    I like the idea in principle. In practice, where would I put all my books?

      Sometimes we have to do these things in stages.

      You wouldn’t have them in a simplify, simplify, simplify scenario, of course.

      Alternatively, once eBook Reader technology gets better with Electronic Ink, you could just keep them on your hard drive.
