I could definetly live in one of these houses but I am married to a Baptist minister who has to have many books to study from for all his preaching(so he says)!!

I love Tumbleweed and while these may be a little too small for many people, I challenge everyone to evaluate their stuff and see what is really needed. With a toddler, spouse (we both work at home) and two dogs, I definitely think we could function quite well within about 500 or 600 SF if properly designed. We’re currently in about 1000 SF and I think it’s too big! Check out http://www.rosschapin.com for some larger but fabulously designed cottages.

I have admired these homes for several years now. If I were still single I would do this in a heartbeat.

Cute home! It reminds me of a Norwegian hytte (cabin), but I think most hyttes are larger than this. Very cool idea, and props to him for making it work. Love the minimal cleaning idea and environmental aspect, but I would really need to make more process of my life simplification to fit into his home!

I’d love it, except that I’m one of those people who needs a bathroom every once in a while!

You would have to always have cookouts!

Except for the kid, I could probably do this.

It seems rather like living on a yacht in terms of space. I prefer to be outside as much as possible and find that when I’m inside, I don’t need much room. And I know myself well enough to know that my stuff expands (and contracts) to fill the available space. I don’t really need that much stuff and would be well rid of most of it.

Only problem is that I enjoy having friends over and this would certainly put a damper on that fun activity.

Yea, for four people it would be just a tad tight!

These are really cool but there is no way I could live in one. Especially not with two kids and a husband. Sometimes my 1200 square foot house doesn’t feel big enough!
