Tiny Houses

[Sean Hayden]

Have you guys seen this stuff? It made me think of you pErv.

Basically a trawler that doesn't float.

That's what happens when trailer trash try to get all 21st century...

Yeah I've seen this movement developing over the years. I watched a good doco on it on Netflix a while ago. It all looks good in principle, but in practice I reckon you'd feel like you were imprisoned in the thing. Talk about 'cabin fever'.

We often stay in cabins at caravan parks on our travels around Oz, but they're mostly bigger than the "tiny houses", and we're only in them for a few days. They're much better than motel rooms, and caravan parks often have some trees etc...

It's a growth industry. You can put up 20 of the things on a couple of acres and sell them to greenie millennials, they love shitting in a pile of grass with earthworms in it, plus you can save on airconditioning costs by telling them what good little environmentalists they are. Sweat is like natural A/C, man.

Ah come on lak, you can take something like that with you to Africa and park it in the middle of a few acres of Durban Poison. What's not to love?

I don't like the idea of driving my home around. I think that would be a nightmare. But if I was stationary I'd definitely take one over a run-of-the-mill trailer on a lot. You could get pretty creative with it I think.
