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

Typical silliness from 13 sq. miles of funkiness surrounded by reality.

Let the filthy left live the way they want, so long as they don't force the rest of us to live that way...... CLASSY Family Room!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

At least it’s got space!

[Terry Mross]

Looks like they had enough materials left over to build another one. I’m sure they’ll throw it in a landfill somewhere. So much for a small footprint.

Also looks like they built it in a slum.

Finally, I don’t see a lot of windows for cross ventilation. Gonna’ get hot this summer.

Any one of stalls for my horses are bigger than that shed of theirs. Smug lib turds.

It’s beyond idiotic all the way to....Off the reservation stupid!

[DemforBush]

Heck, why not just buy a surplus quonset hut? Plenty of room, the exterior will last forever, and you can put the glorified port-a-potty at the far end so you aren’t gagging everytime the temp tops 40 degrees F.

(Hey, it makes more sense than their looney design!)

Great practice for when we eventually fall into collectivism. Only then, that house will fit 3 families.

Like all Libtards they will abandon this cute little mistake within a couple of months and move into Daddy’s 6,200 SF house, where they will get free shelter, free food, free utilities, free medical care and health insurance, free transportation, free TV and Internet - while they plot their next anti-capitalist statement.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Hell!...you’d get more cross ventilation in a tent! No wonder they could’nt move those hippies out of their Occupy wall street tents....they were on vacation!

Saw something like this on “Extreme RVs”. The company featired was Tumbleweed Tiny Houses. Kinda cool.

When I was a kid, we lived in a 24' x 24' log cabin (with a loft) that my dad built. It had everything we needed, and was heated by a single coal-fired stove. It had a single bathroom, for three kids, and we made out just fine.

To this day, I still don't know why people's houses have to be so big. I mean, if that's what they want, fine, to each his own, but many cities/counties have minimum square footage requirements.

[wbill]

My cube at work is about 1/2 that size. I sure wouldn't want to live in it.

THIS is what the left would love to see all of us in.

That human sewer called a university in Boulder turns out more freaks than any other place in the world.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Good point!....A house must at least be large enough to disperse fart stench!...good grief!

[BfloGuy]

I’m all for projects such as this if people are looking to save money. Just don’t feed me the “reducing our footprint” baloney.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

What altitude is that stupid college at anyway?

[cuban leaf]

—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—

Where I live here in Kentucky you see this sort of thing used just for that. Sort of separate “man caves”.
