In reply to the discussion: Sorry I'm late offering the links to my favorite tiny home/deployable permanent/temporary [View all]IrishAyes
(6,151 posts)offering a bit more space. Glad you like the way they look. You can always build your own Tiny from scratch, but single little old ladies don't have that option. If anything ever happens and I need to re-shelter quickly, so far I prefer the arched cabins. We have many excellent Amish workers in the area to do the installation for a reasonable price.
For the amount of insurance I do have, I could easily get a 12x24 super-insulated, with all mechanical systems done, and nicely furnished (to my tastes anyway) yet still have a bit left over. You know how some people claim they can never find anything at rummage and yard sales etc.? I usually have to stay away to keep from coming home with another houseful of good stuff. I can't even walk/ride down the street on trash day w/o spotting goodies. Where do you think I picked up 4 perfectly good vacuum cleaners? Two for upstairs, two downstairs. All they needed was a little cleaning and oiling, maybe a new belt at most. 'Stuff' has always damn near followed me home.
