(6 comments) I have never lived in one nor know anyone that does.

 

Living in a SINGLE-STOREY TINY HOME (no stairs, no lofts, on a foundation-NO wheels) is on my Retirement Bucket List.

hi Nicole

....same....small SINGLE-STOREY HOME on a foundation-NO wheels/// NO composting toilet๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜’....must have plumbing.๐Ÿ˜ธ

llllllllllllllllllllll

While you can buy a prefabricated dwelling or a customized small house on wheels.... the average cost spent on a tiny home is about $45,000, but bare-bones kits for DIYers are available for as little as $4,000 to $10,000, but can easily exceed $100,000....fluctuations in the cost of building materials can cause costs to vary widely from year to yearโ€”and from location to location////

I found alternatives like  Dome-Shaped Concrete Homes called Binishells.constructed using concrete poured over a heavy-duty air pump bladder and steel rebar framework. Next, the bladder is deflated to reveal a tiny, resilient home that can stand up to extreme conditions such as earthquakes, high winds////

or a Monolithic Dome Concrete Homes ...has a number of unique benefits: construction affordability, disaster protection, energy savings, longevity, just to name a few.

(4 comments) Allen @Therapist4u there are SEVERAL Tiny Home Builders here in Florida and I am WAITING to see what NEXT year brings.

 

They are too POPULAR right now, yet the MEDIA keeps saying they are the ANSWER to "affordable" housing??? ๐Ÿค”

 

A lot of Florida cities are pushing the CONTAINER version.

 

Folks need to keep in mind they don't last as long as some well-built houses do.

 

Lol, I am 65 this September. Figure I MAY make it to 100 - so give 35 years in a NEW ONE ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฅณ

(2 comments) The "challenge" for me Allen @Therapist4u , will be the LAND!

 

My "only" child owns a townhouse house with NO space to add it.

 

So that means "buying" land or paying a "lot" fee.
