Martha-sized houses!

I could live in one of these and keep all my stuff somewhere else... :D

-Ooo, nifty! 'Spite all logic, I have a fondness for tiny houses . . .

Yes, but whatever would you do with your majordomo? I suspect he might object to being kept somewhere else! ;)

It is an interesting idea. I am curious about running the electrics. It would make a very interesting solution to homelessness, student housing overcrowding, etc. What would be interesting is if/how you could, with solar pannels and/or wind turbines, have it be mostly/entirely off the grid.

I am going to have to chew on this for a bit. I would probably (and possibly stupidly) want to get the plans and build my own...not that I know how.

We'd just get two. I'd live next door and visit often. ;)

That is one of my favorite quotes. Twenty points for Gryffandor!

Or just get several in a row... and some nice water buffalos to pull you about. You can name them and knit sweaters for them.

Oh fun.

Ype

Wow, maybe I can one day dream of home ownership! Assuming, of course, I could afford to buy a plot of land to put it on.

You could rent land, or buy it cooperatively with friends!

Well, simple, you get two: one for you/K to occupy, and one for the sewing and computers. :-)

Then everyone else you want to live nearby you also gets two, and you arrange them all on a big plot of land, with a community center in the middle... Oh wait.

I love it! I'd need a large one for my workspace than for my living space, but hey. I love the idea of buying one to keep in the backyard as a guest house -- with a it of land, you could really put together a nice B&B.

Those are incredibly cute. And yes, just the right size for you. You'd be a matched set.

they showed the XS on one of the recent episodes of Amazing Vacation Homes. it was terribly charming, though i couldn't live in it.

That would be a great place for an art studio! Just place it in the back yard of your regular home!!! ... I'm such a snob :-)

There is enough room for a kiln. You just need a backyard!

IloveitIloveitIloveit!!! Now, to try to sell the idea to my packrat husband.

neato!

They seem to do better style/marketing than my uncle's company. Although I think to some degree that's his point. :-)
