That is an interesting house. Can I fit my family of five in there? How much did that house cost I wonder? The savings on going smaller would outweigh the inconvenience for my wife and three kids.../sarc.

Cute house. When I was a kid we would spend the entire summer at our cabin on the lake that looks about that size. One half was the “bedroom” that had double beds on the front and back with a bunk bed placed sideways as the divider.

The other half of the cabin was the “kitchen, dining room and living room” (in that order from back to front - stove, table, two small couches and a rocking chair”.

So all summer I would be up there with my three older siblings, my mom, and my grandma and grandpa. Friday-Monday my dad would come up (for a total of eight people!) and haul us around on water skis in his homemade wooden boat.

When the relatives came up for the Fourth of July or other special occasions us kids would put canvas tarps and blankets down on the dirt floor in the boat house.

Ah - those were the days!!

Oh - the bathroom was outside of course, as was the “running” water from the hand pump.
