" ..Construction costs come out to about $50,000 per house...."

What a ripoff. I designed, built and live in my own 'tiny house'... About 380 square feet. Materials cost about 3,500, took me about a month, working alone, to build it.

It is very comfortable. So well insulated that I use about $240 in propane a year to heat, cook and heat water.

I have a tiny house in my back yard. Cost almost $5,000. All electric. Bought the shell, did the rest ourselves. No bathroom as it is 500 feet from my home. I use it as a she shed.

Cool! Yet another example of why Free Republic needs a "like" button.
