"TINY HOUSES"....Could this Work for Some?

[IrishAyes]

4. I'm a big Tiny House fan.

Not for purely altruistic reasons either. There's no way I could afford enough insurance to rebuild my present home, bought as it was at auction and far, far below actual value. So when I started to wonder what would become of me in case of some terrible natural disaster, I started to research tiny homes. To me they'd be far preferable to a condo or townhouse, even though they can be just as little as NYC apartments. After all, it's the natural space buffer that matters far more to me than the size of my dwelling. And I found some incredible designs, too, that are just precious. And I could easily afford to build one of those around 400 sq ft or so with all the needed amenities and plenty of money left over. My favorite design had a built in sleigh bed with a picture window and bookcases at each end. It would make a perfect reading space in the daytime and could be curtained for privacy when needed. What's not to love?

And hey, after a major disaster I'd be grateful for one of the more basic models, just so there's room for a couple dogs.
