Tiny House Living?

pewtertm said:
I watched one episode where a family was moving cross-country, and wanted a home with less than 600 sq ft, and they had 4 kids (I think it was 4). All I could think of was that if I was one of their kids, the first thing I did when I turned 18 would be to move away. Having no privacy would have been SO difficult for me.

Weren't they moving from CA, wanted to move closer to family, have land, and had a teenage daughter (one of the 4)? It was one of the first episodes in the season when I watched it on Netflix...if I'm thinking right.

Yes, and you and Carrie are correct. Those kids looked less than impressed with the idea of having to share a tiny space.
 
NO. Maybe if I lived alone. But most have such low ceilings in the loft that you can't sit up with a mattress there. You'd think someone would think of these little details!!
 
I agree that I could only do it if I lived by myself. Speaking of which, it seems most of these tiny house people are either young couples only or have SMALL kids. I think with teens, you would run into uncomfortable privacy issues pretty fast! We have a hard enough time finding, ahem, "adult" time living in a normal sized house with two teens!

That's what I think too. The reason they have such low ceilings is because they are maximizing the size of the structure to still be legal to drive it down the road. Does not seem like a fun way to live though. I'd rather sleep downstairs and use loft for storage.
 
I could do it, but I'm not at all motivated to, lol. I like space. Not space for just the sake of space per se, but enough space to avoid everyone getting irritable ;)
 
I think they are fantastic for young, single people in markets where housing has gotten outrageous. Or to use as a cabin. Anyone else, especially families, no.
 
So, I'm currently on week 10 of living in our 31' camper with my hubby and three kids...

And I can assure you with great confidence that I could NOT live in a house that small! I pretty much want to kill someone on a daily basis...

Fortunately there is an end in sight......
 
Totally. We live pretty small now, so it's not really a stretch. We're both minimalists. My only stipulations are that I have a real bedroom that isn't a loft and that the bathroom is large enough for a real shower (no tub). I saw one episode where a woman was hunting down the perfect bucket to use as a bathtub. A bucket. No. Just no. You need your head checked.
 
I want a tiny house in the backyard that only I'm allowed in... No boys! But no way would I ever live in one...

I dream of getting an RV and doing a long term road trip. But they are meant for moving around!
