fivetails Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 The thread with the massive cave house made me think of these Tiny Houses ....thought I'd link it for anyone interested....some of them are VERY very tiny! :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Our house is around 7-8 hundred... I guess I can now say, officially, we live in a small house. I'm not sure how to feel about this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat19 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Wow. Those are tiny. I think it would be hard to live in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 That guy has to be living alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Notice ALL of them are living alone. That would be cool if I was out living by myself. Not so cool with 2 kids, a husband, 2 cats, and a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaTanya Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I used to draw up plans for them and study magazines and catalogs for furniture that could be used for different purposes. That was when I was single. Living with 6 other people, I need more space! And, as much as I love being in the same room with dh, I don't think we could live in something that tiny as a couple. (Well, maybe when we were newlyweds, lol!) One or both of us would suffer from claustrophobia. I can't imagine ever living in something like that. Not even if I were older and alone. I would want to have space to have my children and grandchildren visit and play . . . If my life hadn't taken this turn, I would have loved those tiny homes!

Wow, okay, so our house would be on the larger end of the spectrum, it's not as big as their biggest model. It's not horrible. We don't trip over each other too much and I know what my kids are doing, regardless of where I am in the house. Except that it gets cluttered pretty quick, I love my little home and wouldn't want to live somewhere too much bigger. I'd spend all night awake, worried about the kids......

fivetails Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Julie - don't worry about it :grouphug: .. I posted this because of the *very* tiny homes on the site - some of them are only 80sq feet! That *is* small, and it's unusual - unusual things catch people's interest. ;) Recently, we had to find a new rental (we move houses this weekend) in our new town (moved here before Christmas) - and when I was looking, I called some lower priced places that were very small... the owners didn't want to rent to us because they said the places weren't big enough. I told them - people think they need a lot more space than they often do! My grandmother grew up as one of 13 kids in a small two bedroom house. Eh, they still didn't want to rent to us, whatever. (We've ended up with a fairly big house) I bet your house is awesome. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I was just surprised by how 'unlivable' they were considered. Really, it's not bad. Thanks for the reply, maybe I did let my feathers get a little ruffled :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I love those little house. LOVE THEM. I love teeny tiny places. I think I am gonna end up in a prison cell someday. :tongue_smilie: Our house in less 1000 square feet for 5 people. I love my house but everyone else wants bigger.

You have a good point about the kids. We moved from a 13000 sq. ft. house to nearly 2300 sq. ft. This house has two floors. Since most of the bedrooms are on the second floor, I insist that our entire family sleeps up there. I can't sleep with the kids on a different floor! My husband thinks I'm crazy. He'd like to have the real master bedroom downstairs, but I... well, it's a playroom instead, and all 3 boys use a bedroom together upstairs to sleep.

fivetails Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I can't sleep with the kids on a different floor! Yeah this is a new one for us - the rental house that we're moving into this weekend is a 3 bedroom, but the third bedroom is in the (finished) basement...it has to be dd12's room because we (dh and I) have to be on the same floor as ds10. She's excited - she'll have her own bathroom down there, plus the laundry room and play/school/etc room (it's like a little den) to go with her bedroom...she keeps saying it's like getting her own apartment. :lol: She's plenty old enough to sleep on another floor, but it *is* the first time that things will be this way...feels kinda weird. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 We moved from a 13000 sq. ft. house to nearly 2300 sq. ft. ????? Did live inside of a Costco or something? I never knew houses could get that large! Castles, yes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshyne Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 ????? Did live inside of a Costco or something? I never knew houses could get that large! Castles, yes. :) Ironically, we have the smallest house of any of our close friends here. I do love it though, and I am thankful for all that we have. My DH has worked hard and steady to provide for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 No attic or basement, but we had a small garage. I sort of liked it at the time - I gave birth to twins when we lived there, and it was easier caring for small babies in a small space. Now that my children are all older, I am very very happy with more space - much more space. But I don't think it was so bad living in the small house, apart from the lack of privacy. We spent a lot of time outside. There was so much less to clean, and our lives seemed easier in some ways, though I would not at the point give up my downstairs master bedroom, which is my wonderful "ready retreat" lol.
