Tiny house

[Valdy]

This is a tiny house. Two men in Saskatchewan have made tiny campers that they pull with bicycles.

Thanks, Valdy.  A very cool tiny house indeed.

Here is a newspaper article on a man who built a homeless woman a Tiny house. He built it on wheels, the secret being she can move it a few feet every day and not get a ticket : -)

Very cool, Valdy, thanks for the article link.  The story reminds me of my stay in Bolinas, where the sheriff asked me to move my van after I had been there for 3 months.  At that time I could not start the van, so I asked another homeless man there to help me push it one space forward on long the curb of the public park.  Since the park was a circle I could have theoretically pushed it around the park after a few years.

Tiny green-roofed home can be packed up and moved on with minimal ecological footprint

This could be interesting, but a cab-over camper still seems the easiest mobile little house concept.

'TuboHotel'

By T3arc - Mexico (2010)



"This is a charming idea of repurposing something - namely concrete storm drains," says Roke of these hotel rooms.

The structures were meant to be a simple and cost effective way of creating backpackers' accommodation - she explains - but because of their design ingenuity, they have proved popular with other travellers too.

Very cool Michele.  I have thought of doing much the same thing, but no place to put them.

A video on converting a mercedes sprinter van into an off grid tiny home. Although it is quite barebones it seems to be quite a clever way of approaching the setting up of a simpler lifestyle. I find this vandwelling/converting thing very very fascinating.

Jhananda seems to be right. The best tiny home is a van.

Thanks, kiddhamma, for the youtube video on a very cool camper van.  I like the sprinter quite a bit, and have often thought of owning one, and converting it to a tiny house living space.

Now this is a cute tiny house.
