Saw a link for this site on Yahoo, it would be interesting to put one of these up in the woods!

In the Luton you use to drag it around.

I can just imagine the conversation ...

Tumbleweed home owner: 'I moved house yesterday!'
Incredulous friend: 'Did you? To a bigger place?'
Tumbleweed home owner: 'Nope, I sneezed!'

B&Q sell them. Only they call them garden sheds.

He has some great design ideas in there - like the sliding screens for waterproofing the shower area (looks like he's used roofing material).

Not enough ventilation in the sleeping space tho. Long term that would cause problems. Needs some roof vents.

Looks like the "Marks House" has roof vents...

So you can sit up in bed......

My thoughts exactly! Take a product already on the market, put some spin on it, rebrand it, Bob's yer uncle, people falling over themsleves throwing money at you, meanwhile you're laughing all the way to the bank.

If you buy one can you call yourself a Romany.

I'm betting none of those people have children

Or anything else.

What is wrong with a Yurt?

Or a Caravan??

Or a Contaner????

I like a lot of aspects of the tiny house movement. I've followed tinyhouseblog for quite some time. My biggest dream has always been to own a small bit of land, and has now grown to include a modest self built house. The 'American' wood clad tiny homes do not appeal to me tho', especially the ones on trailers, but I have seen some great articles on other building methods. Strawbailling was good, as was a modern take on wattle and dob. I also love the larger yurts.

http://tinyhouseblog.com/dome/ecodome/ was one that really struck me

Fun little den but not to live in full time. I'd rather have a caravan that you can at least tow to a different location (before Richard Hammond blows it up...)

What is wrong with a Contaner????

Nah..... Way too small.....

 

[sandbender]

That is certainly a clever use of space, however if I wanted something I could pull around I'd simply use a caravan, perhaps even a Vardo.

Or, a converted horse carrier...

From 'The Hermitage' blog of Rima Staines.

For a small place that doesn't have to move I'd rather have something that looked like this...

One of the lodges at Cae Mabon.

New owner has difficulty moving in........

Can't help thinking that its a shed in his mums garden and he nips back in for his tea and to get his washing done.
