Littleyellowdoor | The scatterbrained construction of a happy wee house… | Page 2. Life in Little Yellow is wonderful. It’s actually very much like normal, but without the things that used to bug me about living in other people’s spaces. In fact, most everything that pissed me off or stressed me out in previous living situations is no longer problematic. I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes, I can move or change whatever, whenever, and everything I love is organized all nice-like under one roof. Basically? I love my house.
It’s like the whole thing is one big relief. The timing of my move north has been so serendipitous it’s crazy. 3 days after arriving, I had a job, made an awesome friend, and met my awesome boyfriend who happens to think Little Yellow is as great as I do. So! Living situation: I live on a little ranch down the hill from my landlords’ house in a pretty wee field with a nice set of bushes and trees just beside; a perfectly adequate distance so as to be totally left on my own.

Let’s talk about the 2 kinds of insurance most tiny housers will need. Insurance for Towing Let’s say you’ve just finished building your house and now you need to tow it to its final location (assuming it was built somewhere other than it’s final resting place). Hire a towing company? Some people choose to hire a professional towing company (many now have experience with tiny houses), which can be a great option.
Here’s us on our self-towing journey – Arizona rest stop If you already have full-sized truck (more about what kind of truck you’ll need), you can easily do the towing yourself. We towed our house over 2300 miles from Iowa to Northern California (taking the far southern route in winter). Tricks of the Trade First off, you’ll need an insurance agent. With a great insurance agent helping us (Neil Gritz, owner of the Insurance Resource Center in Fairfield, IA), here’s what we ended up getting. Motivated Montanan - Home. Ohio Modern Tiny House for the Lofty. Adam Leu has the height of an NBA small forward, 6′ 7″, and wasn’t satisfied with just a standard tiny house. So he modified a couple plans by tiny-house enthusiast Michael Janzen and created the Tall Man’s Tiny House. It’s 21-feet long, 13′ 3″ tall (total, not the interior), and includes three roomy segments of seven feet. This place includes one bedroom, one bathroom, a loft, and an open living and kitchen room, as pictured.
The tiny house was built on an old camper’s trailer with 2×10 construction above the wheels and 2×4 construction in the front and back. It has nine, double-paned windows from Crestline for natural light and an exterior finished with cedar rainscreen, ply-and-batten, pine, and steel. The interior is finished with maple plywood in the ceiling and five-inch pine flooring that’s been stained and sealed with Danish oil. Leu has the 130-square-foot home listed for $27,000, in Canal Winchester, Ohio. Credits: Leu/Tall Man’s Tiny House. The Golden Tiny House.

Whether you call them tiny houses, micro-homes, or mini houses, ultra-small buildings are rapidly gaining popularity for those who want to downsize and minimalize their personal environmental footprint. It's refreshing to see so many people choosing a different path for their day-to-day living experience than the conventional oversized dwellings that make up the bulk of the houses on the market. Living in a tiny house can reap dividends beyond just being able to get to mortgage-free sooner and cutting utility bills down to size, as learning to live more simply and minimally can offer a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that isn't easily found in any other living environment.
But for those who think, "I could never live in a house that small," tiny houses also easily lend themselves to a range of other uses, none of which require living in them full-time. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

And the humblest of communications can have far reaching and profound impact, far beyond anything we anticipate.
When I turned 50 I got a tattoo, a very specific tattoo that took me a year to find. I am 30 years sober tomorrow and there is no finer way to savor that than walking in a front door to a little teeny tiny building that is warm and cozy and inviting, and that I built with my own hopes, dreams, and hands.

Humble Homes | Living Simply & Sustainably. What Is The Tiny House Movement? What are tiny houses? The tiny house movement? Tiny living? Simply put, it is a social movement where people are choosing to downsize the space they live in. The typical American home is around 2,600 square feet, whereas the typical small or tiny house is between 100 and 400 square feet. Tiny houses come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, but they enable simpler living in a smaller, more efficient space. People are joining this movement for many reasons, but the most popular reasons include environmental concerns, financial concerns, and the desire for more time and freedom.
For most Americans 1/3 to 1/2 of their income is dedicated to the roof over their heads; this translates to 15 years of working over your lifetime just to pay for it, and because of it 76% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. So what is the alternative? This is a growing movement, that is for sure! This site focuses on tiny living or living The Tiny Life. Related Posts. Tiny House Design.
Barely There. If not for the dawn appearance of the bear, which came loping toward Maem Slater-Enns and her then six-month-old daughter as they sat contemplating the water, the Enns family might still be residing in tents at their remote island summer home on Shoal Lake, which straddles the borders of Manitoba and Ontario. Instead, they are lightly sheltered by graceful pavilions hand-built by her husband, Herbert Enns, a professor of architecture at the University of Manitoba, where he also directs the experimental media program. The couple purchased the 24-acre island soon after returning from a trekking stint in Ethiopia, Kenya, India, and Nepal, when they experienced a classic traveler’s epiphany: “Canada’s greatest aspect is its landscape—and having this wild, remote place was more important than owning a house,” says Herbert. In some ways, the cabins feel more embedded in the surroundings than the tents ever did.
“There’s nowhere to ride out a storm,” says Maem. Tiny Diamond Homes in Colorado: Would You Live in this Tiny House? How a talented architect makes an RV look like a charming cabin in the woods.
