Could you live in one of those tiny houses

[Lardlizard]

You know that you see in you tube
Like sheds/caravans

Moose people do it for a certain amount of time

Absolutely. I’ve often lived in very small spaces and loved it. I love the Tiny House program and getting some awesome ideas. Not sure if I’d do it in the UK or somewhere a bit warmer. A bit of land, eco friendly and I’ll be happy. And the bonus, no neighbours 🤣

I would do it now with the teen, but I prefer to do it alone. And before that I want to sail around the world, taking as long as I need, and visit some wonderful places that you can only get to by boat anyway lol.

I'd love to as long as there was lots of outside space.

I'm the same. I need land and lots of it. I can't bear the thought of anyone living too close to me.

Absolutely not. I have things. And stuff. And then some possessions. And craft supplies. And a need for occasional solitude. And DH snores.

I would love to live in one of those, especially if it had a lovely view and a bit of land.

I have not studied the moose peoples nesting habits, so not sure about them.

No, I have stayed in three mobile homes/caravans on holiday sites, one was particularly excellent, one very basic and one nice but furniture uncomfortable. That's more than a few years ago.

A holiday is one thing, especially if you have children but living in one? Absolutely not. They are quite flimsy, heating often goes wrong and when it is cold, you feel it in the 'van.

I'd like to live in one of those IKEA one bed apartments they have in store

Yes, I think so.
I love staying in hotel rooms or mobile homes and only having essentials and having everything perfectly tidy and in order.

I hate stuff and am always trying to get rid of it.

No way.

All that instagrammification of "cute" tiny houses pisses me off.

Try having no option.

I think DH and I could if we decluttered a lot. We have a touring caravan and when we are on holiday you do get used to the size and it feels almost roomy but when it is just on the drive and I pop in there it seems tiny.

It would probably be a lot less stressful with less stuff.

I did 10 months in a static in the garden whilst we renovated the house. Was a fair sized static - 3 (teeny) bedrooms, shower room, loo, corridor for a kitchen and a c10 x 12 seating/dining space. From what I recall it was 10 foot x 32 foot in all. Too wide for the drive initially (we had to knock down some wall to get it in).

Space wise was OK. It was just a bit grim - the "Build" statics are the really old ones that would no longer be allowed on trailer/holiday parks - so old fashioned, a bit sticky and grimy regardless of how much I scrubbed it. Cost us £800. and £1200 to get the fucker moved.

Noisy as fuck when it rained. Cold. Damp. An oven in the summer.

Have never been so glad to move out of anything in my life.

But not because of space so much...as it was just shit.

If I lived alone I think I could. I think some of the 'tiny houses' I've seen on YouTube and online look really cool.

My friend's parents sold their 5 bedroom house after their children grew up. They became missionaries and lived out of suitcases for several years. They came back to the UK and lived in their long-stay, fairly large 3 bedroom caravan (although they still had to stay elsewhere for 2 weeks every year when maintenance was done on the site).

Eventually the caravan needed replacing and instead of buying another one they bought a 3 bedroom house near their old village. I think they got sick of some of the other newer, more rowdier residents at the caravan site.

Their first house was cluttered, their caravan was cluttered, their last house is cluttered. They seem very happy.

Their only problem was having the whole family over at the same time when in the caravan. They would rent other nearby caravans or do reciprocal arrangements with other permanent residents. They also have several storage units but I think they have less now.

I'd love one. Or a narrowboat (One of my colleagues lives in one of those.) All my stuff fits in one room anyway, so as long as I had decent storage I'd be fine.

Some of them are beautiful and cosy, others are far too plain for my liking. As long as you have good insulation and a source of heat you'd be fine in the winter.

I'm to tidy enough - even if all I owned was one change of clothes, two books and a dog lrsd, I would mansgeto make a trailer look as though someone had thrown a grenade into it.

What can I say . . . . . it's a gift . . . . .

I could as long as i had a barn to store my junk

*dog lead,

*manage to

FUCK OFF , AUTOCORRECT, YOU VINDICTIVE BASTARD!!!!!!

Nevermind your original question, I spent ages thinking of how Moose People would look like.

I hate stuff and am always trying to get rid of it.

Same here.

But I can't . . . .

Tried it. Didn’t like it. My antlers got in the way.

Not with other people and not will all of my books

Book (and spaniels . . . ) my downfall . . . . .

Will = with

No I'd go insane. I already live in a small house and there is just no room for anything. I'd love the space to be able to work at home without the kids standing behind me or to be able to do an exercise video without bumping into the wall/sofa/dining table/etc.

I quite like those cute little shepherd's huts - but not sure I would want to live in one during a storm!

If it was just me and my dogs and we had loads of outdoor space yes I would absolutely love it!
