You're in!

Can I come and...um...visit?

[PeterPrinciple]

Not a bad idea, herd them into the house, hook it up to your pickup and haul them to another town..................

And I only buy white grapes!! But I do like dark pumpernickel bread with pickled herring .... ya, so I’m Jewish and love it ....

Madison “Tiny Homes” project. They don’t look too inviting to me on this very cold night!

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin iterest ping list.

You won’t be able to see them in two years. By then, they’ll already have been hitched up and driven down the road to points unknown.

NIMBY!

How is it people who depend on others can afford numerous pets?

Food Stamps.

“Hurray! Let’s all live in packing crates!”

I'm a Guy (note capital G) I could easily live in something this size if it were attached to a twenty car, ten bike, three plane garage with machine shop and walk in gun safe.

Yeppers - t’was fun but I’m back home now. I grew up in a home with older brothers and dad and uncle ... mom was a military brat so nothing fazes me .... :)

I think you'll like this one, Diana in Wisconsin. Ignore the popularly accepted lilt in the first character, and watch it for the important information presented. Before the default process is completed, nearly everyone will be acquainted with many of the regulations and purposes behind them.

Couple of weeks more like it but you never know.

My aunt and uncle lived in 2 of the tin cabins at Sunset Camp. The labor camp in the Grapes of Wrath. I remember staying with them there. They were larger than these and of course they had to pay to live there.

They could only come up with 9? The overpaid professors, city overlords and the Progressive elite in Madison could only spring for 9 tiny outhouses? This situation needs to be corrected immediately using the California approach .... tax the Madison residents $1,000 each for tiny outhouses for the homeless .... it’s the way the collective is supposed to work.

Looking over the fence, I wonder how the neighbors feel.

They can fit a toilet, a shower, a pedestal sink, a galley kitchenette, a Murphy/bunk bed and a combo living/dining space in such a tiny home.

Not much room in the way of possessions but how much space do you need not too feel too cramped?
