Would you want to live in one of these Tiny Houses?
I do not think I would ever like that. Maybe if I were just starting out and did not have anything. I still think I would feel like I was in prison.
-
Nope. Too claustrophobic for me. I don't need a huge house, but I like to have enough space to move around without bumping into things.

I was watching some old western the other day and this girl got put in jail and they locked her in a room that was about 3 feet by 6 feet or so. It had enough room for the cot which went wall to wall and then room to stand in front of it. With a tiny window about a foot tall and 6 inches wide.
This is what I think of when I see these ads on tv for the tiny houses. haha
-
I would depend on how the house was arranged, now when it comes to some of those apartments in NYI could not handle them. But I have been in some small Mobil homes and I really liked them. But being married I have to have way more room for the both of us. When own I loved living in a one bedroom apartment And if something should happen to him I will again..
-
I like open space so tiny houses would not suit me
-
There is no way I could live in one being married, but if I were single i still think it would be too small.
-
I could not do it! Much too small for me. I need some space!
-
If I was single, in a minute. But I am married with 6 kids so there's no way I could or would! They sure can make some pretty awesome ones!! Kudos to those that do.

I have been looking into getting a tiny house or a two car garage with a studio over it. I have a very large house that I use less than twelve percent of: My bedroom, study and bathroom. The house suits my family fine but I only have one left in college and pretty soon they will have their own lives. I have a three car garage that holds one of my vehicles. I worked out the numbers and I could do it for under fifty five thousand, including ownership of the land underneath, by calling in favors from contractors that I have referred in the past few decades. I could probably go cheaper without a full bathroom because I have a gym membership and showers at my work job but it would only be an extra thousand or so dollars. I work about eighteen hours a day, sleep about five and a half hours and like to keep my cars covered-a garage studio would do the trick.

know a couple who live in a tiny house,they seem to love it. have 3 dogs,2 cats who also are all good. they really made a deck out side a large one so I think in summer months they go outside a lot. also have a horse and a place for it.
-
I could do a tiny house if it had a wrap around porch so you could be outside alot.

I am talking about the TINY HOUSES. They are about the size of big Uhaul if that big. Not just a small house.

You may not have a gym membership or work the rest of your life. I would not have a house and not have a way to shower or take a bath.
The apartment over a garage could be really nice. Esp if you just have one car and you can use the other half of the garage for storage.
-
they are nice,,,but not for me,,,too small...
-
I think the tiny house idea is great, but it is not something that would work for me. I get a little Closter phobic and I know I could not live in a tiny space for the rest of my life.
-
I wouldn't mind living in a tiny house if I was alone. But I'm not so I don't see it as possible. I have a ton of kitchen stuff - baking and cake decorating is my passion. I would need a couple of tiny houses just to store all my kitchen stuff.
-
Nope. Not for me. I need lots of room.
-
I have seen them and they look cool, but it's not for me. I need my space.
-
I wouldn't mind if it, was just me and one pet.
-
I would love to live in a tiny house; however, I would also like a truck and trailer so I can travel. I could downsize so I don't have too much stuff. I like it when I have a very simple, low maintenance lifestyle.
-
If I lived there alone, I think it would be really cute! I'm almost the opposite of claustrophobic and don't require much space. Provided I wasn't locked in there 24/7 I would have a fine time.
However if I had to live in one of them with another person I would probably strangle them within 12 hours.
-
If anything happened to my wife, I would go for it in a heartbeat. I hate cleaning house anyway, so this would be a good answer for minimal distractions. If I have my waterbed, a place to eat with a microwave and a good shower, the only other space I would need is a place for my computer (that could even be a laptop) and my TV.

I think that they are adorable. I always thought that I would like to have one. Then after reading some of these comments I am not so sure anymore. Its really just a fancy she shed. But still it would be nice to have just for a place to take a break and get out of the house.

Well some of the ones I have seen have like steps up to a sleeping area, a kitchen area, small living room, and a table. So you would have what you need. Like I said if I were just starting out I think that is the way to go. Not acquiring so much stuff. Right now I would need about 12 tiny houses. haha
They are giving horrible strong bad storms for my area right now. I am starting to get warnings. So I would need to take in to consideration stuff like that when I got a house like this. I want something sturdy and that at the end of a wind storm I would still be in the same place I started out in.
-
I don't think I'd live in a tiny house. I live in a studio apartment now and imagine I have more space now than what I would in a small house. I don't where I'd set it up either. That being said, some of the look pretty neat!

But my question is not where would you put it but WOULD you live in one. Would that be enough space for you. Would you want to live in that tiny of a space. I don't really think I would. I like having plenty of space.

I never even thought about the weather. I can't imagine tiny houses do very well in severe storms. What about tornados!? I can picture the house flying up and away like in the Wizard of Oz. LoL!
-
Nope. I have seen them online a lot and they are cute but way too small for me.
-
I think I would have a problem storing all my stuff! I would feel like I was living in a doll house. I think I could do it for a while. It seems like it would make life simpler, but I'm sure it would also have its disadvantages.

The point is to get rid of all the "stuff" and just have what you need. And not have a bunch of junk you don't. We probably all have bought stuff we did not need at the store when we go shopping.
-
I just don't know - when I first started seeing them I thought I would really like to live in one but now I live in a relatively large house just me and my son so now I am not so sure I would like such a small place even if it were just me.
-
I have seen some tiny houses on TV that was so cute and had more room than what you would think. There are some campers that I know I could live in.
-
Are you talking about the ones on Amazon? If so, I'm not sure...they seem like good deals but awfully tight lol
-
I would like to see one for real to decide. Definitely not for 2 people, but maybe for one. But like I said. I would really like to see one.

Google Tiny Houses. I have no idea is Amazon has them. People build them all the time.

I would, actually, like to have a nice RV and travel around. So that's kind of like a tiny house.

But would you want that to be your only housing? Could you live in that small of a space where you did not have any other place to live.
-
Not for me, I like room to stretch out.
-
I would not ever live in a Tiny House. I have to have space to move around. My Kids live with me and I need to be able to go and hide from everyone sometimes.
-
I would love to live in a tiny house, travel trailer or motor home. I would love to travel full time. Have a great weekend.

I actually was meaning a fixed house. Not a motor home. Although I guess that could be okay. You would need to tow a car behind you so you could get around after you get to your camp ground. I have family that lives in one of those. Lot of aggravation when things tear up.

That sounds like a lot of fun to me too!

Hello!
I do think that the tiny houses are facinating nonetheless not for me. I always dreamed of a big beutiful house with plenty of space. I have a true blue vision ya!
-
yeah like you said if you're just starting out or something like that they can be pretty nice not like prison or anything but I think in the long run id want a normal sized place and so would most people haha but they aren't that bad they're cool so if the benefits out weigh the cons for you then go ahead good luck.

My point is not getting bigger and bigger. Get this when you are first starting out and don't expand in to a huge house with a ton of stuff you do not need. I know people who have down sized getting rid of all their stuff and moved in to a really small place.

I think the trick to living in a tiny house is to be outside most of the time. Tiny houses weren't a thing when I was a young adult, but if they had been around at the time, I might have lived in one since I was outside most of the time anyway. THe really tiny houses don't appeal to me at all. It would probably feel like a coffin to me. But the bigger ones that are the size of an RV, those I could probably live in if it was just me and my husband. We're together all the time anyway (except when he's at work), so it would probably work for us! :peace:

The thing too is if you done this starting out and always lived in a smaller place you would not accumulate so much stuff.

Nope, I'd feel like I was trapped.
