I questioned this also. His tiny house looks like a tiny house for a vacation getaway. Can you imagine living in this place full-time?
This is a great house if you are on the road 364 days of the year...
My wife and I moved from a large five bedroom home to a 1000 sq ft condo while we prepare to move permanently to Kentucky. The place, even at a whopping 1000 sq ft, seriously cramped our lifestyle. I have no recording/rehearsal studio. No place to refinish furniture, maintain my bicycle, my car, etc. With the condo we feel like we simply “exist”.
It is like putting our life on hold. There is very little you can do in that space beyond read books and watch TV (and surf the internet).
This is a novelty and nothing more. Still, having one in the backyard would be cool for when guests come. But then, they are only visiting, and for temporary digs it would be fine.
