That’s very impressive and creative, but I would still prefer a normal sized house with walls and doors that lock. Some like this model. Maybe there’s a market.

I love “Murphy beds” and better yet, Murphy Kitchens and Desks!

It may cost £35K to build, but you can be sure that it will be priced at $100K after the lot and extra features are priced in.

And, frankly, my cats would could shred that thing in about a week.

I was rather thinking we could stuff all the Democrats into it and lock the door from the outside. Mount a TV on the wall that plays all of President Trump’s speeches on a loop. Let them out when they’re all certified crazy.

Tiny house ... missile silo ... winter sports ... Gandhi.

I’m trying to follow your train of thought here.

After all, why clutter your house up with furniture when you could clutter it up with Murphy. Personally, I think of a house as a showpiece for furniture. The walls are sort of a background.

I’m feeling really random today. But you’re quite right. I usually do themes. Today is Open Line Friday. Name a topic and I’ll find a picture link!

That’s a very interesting experiment. I couldn’t live in it, except as a little weekend vacation place in the wilderness that’s better than a tent. But a lot of the ideas can be used in more livable spaces.

My sentiments exactly. Good for a cabin kind of thing but living? Hell no.

One side of me says Agenda 21. Hey look how small living quarters can be! Horray for Agenda 21!

I like some of the ‘minimalist’ ideas, especially as they refer to reducing all the unnecessary JUNK that we own and hoard. But people need space to be healthy and comfortable.
