I live in a small ADU that's essentially a studio. Here's a not-to-scale sketch. The sole living area is 13' x 15' and I want to make a 2x + plywoood platform to cover a ~6-6" x 15' area for multiuse: eating, sleeping, lounge, work (crafts and computer), yoga. I want something comfortable that visitors will feel comfortable on. Those who have experience with an intended use like this, what materials could I look into to cover the plywood? Tatami seems right for the sleeping area, but I have no experience with tatami and don't know if it's easy to use, clean, comfortable etc. as an eating, lay ..read more

Is there any workaround to getting a (probably prefab) Tiny Home legally placed somewhere in the 5 boroughs? I've seen photos of Tiny Homes on city roofs, but I don't know if it's legal here in NYC. I watched a couple videos of NYC Tiny Homes on YouTube but they were actually just small apartments in a building. I don't drive so a mobile home isn't an option. I'm exploring all my permanent home solutions as I go on disability. submitted by /u/IAlwaysForgetPW [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Is anyone here selling a tiny home in FL? Or, if you bought yours already built with fixtures, where did you buy it? I found Tiny Home Marketplace and Tiny House Listings, but there doesn’t seem to be a ton of options. submitted by /u/ddimitra [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

TL;DR: how do you buy land for your THOW? I’ve been living the tiny house life for 2 years now in my Escape One XL. My girlfriend has a THOW as well. We’ve been leasing land but lately the landowners have been getting annoying and giving the impression they’d like to not have renters on the land. We own our homes free and clear, but would need to finance any land we purchase and around us it’s impossible to find land that has septic and well already installed, so the barrier to entry is high. I had a $450k mortgage before I went tiny, so I can def afford a decent monthly payment, but can ..read more

Currently looking for land and frustrated seeing many places don’t allow permanent residence in THOW, unless there’s already an existing home on the lot. (If I could afford a home I’d just buy one). I’m ready to purchase or build but I’ve just recently become “self employed” (I’ve been a freelancer, usually on W2 for several years but my current contract job prefers to keep me in a 1099 which is messing everything up) so I can’t qualify for a traditional loan for another two years as an independent contractor. But I’m tired of paying NYC rent! So I’m forced to do a cash only thing and unfortu ..read more

Hello all, I am looking for a way to get involved with promoting tiny houses as a housing option, advocating for changes to the building code, and generally getting more involved with other people that are in to tiny houses. does anybody know of organizations in California that I can get involved with? I would also take more national suggestions as well! Thanks! submitted by /u/A_Metallurgist [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Very very early in the research and planning stage. Hard to decide which to use, because my intent is to place the tiny home in a friend's backyard. But things happen, and as nice as my friend might be, I know there many come a time where I might need to move it. Otherwise, I have no intention of travelling with it, but I'm not sure what to do to not screw over my future self. submitted by /u/revolution_twelve [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Found this on Craigslist. Seems like a great deal. Was not wanting to go this big but if it’s a good deal I would definitely be open to it. I guess it used to have a RV on it but he tore it down. He lives 1 minute away so I’m going to check it out. I was planning on building a pretty basic thow with my dad. Would this work? Any advice is greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/woodenduder [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
