Tiny house thoughts

Jake and I keep coming back to land. Not in the city, not that Cheney is really a "city" but you know what I mean. Freedom to raise chickens and have a rooster on site with out the neighbors suddenly taking an interest in marksmanship. Space. Quiet. Stars. Greywater. Rainwater. Things we cannot do in the city. Our main problem is money.... who's problem isn't money? Being tied into this house we don't have the option to go buy land and start a new house out on property. But we've got an idea, build a tiny tumbleweed house ourselves.

If you've never heard of tumbleweed house's click the link, poke around. Jake and I could get a small loan enough to build a tiny house for around 20K. Then we would have a transportable house to move into after we sell this house and search/prep land.  I don't want to move back into an apartment, plus no one accepts dogs at any apartment or rental house in Cheney (college town.)

The tumbleweed house's (at least the one's we are looking at) are built on flatbed trailers, like a camper. The one we've chosen is called Lusby. I like how the great room is the kitchen. Me being the cook I don't want to be stuffed back in some corner like many of the other plans have. The Lusby is 117 sq. feet of pure awesome. Jake and I will be attending the the workshop in August, to ask questions and get a feel for the construction of a tumbleweed house.

Dee Williams might even bring her house down to the workshop, all though that's unconfirmed. Here's a great video about Dee and her tiny house which is modeled after a tumbleweed:
