This dragon has gone insane....

Thu Jul 2, 2009, 7:58 PM
...being bled dry even paying the cheapest rent in the city shared between two people on a one bedroom apartment.

What's the solution?

I'm actually going to build my own house on free land! I've started a blog chronicling my progress.

These tiny houses are cheap to build, are too small to be taxed or applicable to building code, and look like alot of fun to build and to live in!

you're far from insane! I've wanted to do this ever since I found a book with tiny house plans over 8 years ago (still living with my parents).

sadly I take it one more step towards japanese style living, I've often contemplated how things the size of bathroom stalls could be converted for living spaces. The answer is quite easily. The only foreseeable problem is the entertaining space for people who like to have someone over. Being outside only works in nice weather.

Its so cool that you're doing this :D

Lol. The 'insane' part is how high rent is in Vancouver!
Tiny houses are a great idea, you should totally give it a try, and very true about entertaining space. I think you really have to develop an all-weather outdoor patio of sorts.
That book sounds interesting, can you tell me the title and author? Or maybe add me on msn so I can bug you for details and share ideas with ya =P

I wish I knew :(
It was in a stack in my high school class room. I'm pretty sure it was a book with mostly cabin blueprints. Summer/vacation house stuff.

I suggest as much built in storage as possible. Like benches for any seating with seats that flip up to reveal a storage bin. stuff like that. And a folding table, like a leaf that can flip up to be a table but then fold flat against the wall.

I'm inokebadger@hotmail.com on msn (I think...) Off to bed right now though :)
