Kyu's Tiny House Blog

I was looking up outhouse inspiration, and this awesome picture came my way.

I've spoken on this before I think.. but the idea for the land is to have a decent outdoor kitchen community sort of area, with an outhouse fully equipped to handle people showering or other needs. I want it to look really rustic and run down on the outside, and modern classy on the inside. It'd be an amusing leap for people's first visit.

I think it all depends.. my family would call a living space like that tiny. The kitchen certainly qualifies as smaller than many houses here in Texas. There are Ikea walk through houses that show the square footage.. and my mom and sister all oogle how compact and tiny those places are at 64, 114, 600 square feet.

My ideal tiny house would be something around those lines though... something big enough to spread out and move in, and house guests, but functionally small all the same.

God I love this place so much! I'm particularly fond of this picture. I fantasize about only being able to use a few products to fully cover my hygienic needs.

This Eco Cabin Might Be the Most Liveable Micro Home Yet - Micro Homes - Curbed National

Such a nicely done tiny!!

160 square feet means I could probably do something very similar to this for the Texas guest house/my house.

Love love love this cute nerdy little dude's place. Still think composting toilets are gross especially for a small living space, at least have an outhouse yo... but still, the kitty door was adorable, and I like the fact he made so many extra efforts for the kitchen to feel normal and for the house to have air-exchange in the winter time for fresh air all year round.

tres:ever visit THE WORST ROOM ?

The winner of the WORST Room very closely resembles a room I lived in, for 1 year, while living in student housing, in a crap house (with a vermin infestation problem), but surrounded by 7 of my best buds and paying the cheapest rent. So, it made it bearable. I don't know why the idiot chose a double bed for that. I had a single, which I put against the slanted wall, and used that remaining open space for a tiny desk and chair. I put shelves on the walls. And, the other end of the room, along the slanted side, went in deeper, like a crawl space, so I put one of these: Indoor Clothes Hanger/Clothes Rack (FD1-01) - China garment hanger, Yikang in there, for my clothes and a little dresser. The highlight was that one tiny window, just like the room in the pic. Otherwise, the layout and dimensions were basically the same, sans the crawlspace.

tbt I look up worst apartments in the country and also search slum lords on yelp, it's a sick obsession of mine. most people look at the best i'm like let me look at the worst so i can feel better about my situation. also so i know if i ever move there what places to avoid like the plague

one time I lived in such a slum in Chicago that I saw a rat the size of a rottweiler and when it moved under the the moonlight I saw the glint off it's muscle sinew like it was some sort of panther flexing on a tree during an African safari.

Totally my style that one. I'm wanting to put a storybook witches cottage on my acreage. Liking this inspiration.

Hmm it's not so hard plenty of people have built their tiny houses from scratch. As far as not building on a concrete foundation, [MENTION=4939]kyuuei[/MENTION] might want to build on a trailer or something of that nature as some people like building tiny houses that are mobile, and building on a trailer helps to avoid many building codes [MENTION=4939]kyuuei[/MENTION], I have been reading up on this stuff so if you ever want to chat or talk let me know, I would also hope that you post all about your adventure here, so that people can see what you are going thorough including me.

I'm trying to get the money together to get:
either the linden

Linden

or the cypress
Cypress

last choice being the mica
Linden


I like all three, I know im going to get there, you have inspired me once again by posting about this here.

[MENTION=4939]kyuuei[/MENTION], have you thought about gabion foundations? Gabions need no other footing except gravel to level off the ground. They are entirely removable and can work like piers. They are also self-installable because they are low tech, the weight of the fill gives them stability and the ability to cope with ground heave. I'm planning to build with gabions for this exact reason, plus I have some large landscape projects near me done with them and the look amazing. Very similar to drystone feature walls.

Oh man I'm so close I can taste it I certainly will!
