BOULDER, Colo. -- With grand designs on minimizing their housing footprint, Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller have spent the last 10 months building the tiny home of their dreams.

"It's 19 feet long wall to wall,” Smith said. “The interior square-footage is about 125 square feet.”

The interior layout consists of a sitting area, kitchen and bathroom. A vaulted ceiling makes room for a sleeping loft that can accommodate a queen-size mattress

I’ve already got one of these - it’s called a shed.

Since they hate the US, capitalism, “racism” et al so much, I think their next craze should be emigration. Lots of it, over a relatively short period.

It wouldn’t meet code in most states. Minimum dimension of each wall of a room must be 7 feet.
At any rate..this fits the means of the Obama generation. Small jobs, small income, food stamps and a tiny rabbit hutch for a house.
However, my kids will choose not to participate in this depression.

Hmmm, at 12.5 sq/ft/month, I hope they can make it up in volume when providing for "the masses".

Cool house actually. It would be great to have something like this back in the woods to get away from the wife/gf.
Sorta like an adult tree house.

Why would you even try, when you’ve got a five gallon bucket full of peatmoss, sawdust, and crap a few feet away!

19 foot wall to wall and 125sq ft gives 6.6 wide.

Umm...”composting toilets” (outhouses) weren’t meant to be inside. They’ll find out why the first time stomach flu or the galloping trots hit. Their shack will be uninhabitable for days.

"I’ve already got one of these - it’s called a shed."

I literally have a Hallway in my apartment that is bigger than their whole house.

Whenever you observe the whack left in full bloom...It’s always total lunacy on parade!
