Tiny Houses
So for a while I looked at tiny houses on YouTube, still look sometimes. The first one I ever saw was at a church discussion meeting, there was a little video presentation on one. a woman was working two jobs or something like that, she had house mates, they were all working.
I forget how much she was paying, and the video is no longer on YouTube. But she was working two jobs I think, and barely keeping up with her part of the mortgage.
Then, she had a heart attack, at about age forty. I forget what she did with the house, but I think as part of her recovery, she built a tiny house. She had seen Jay Schaeffer's tiny house on wheels, and knew it didn't cost an arm and a leg.
Her house has a small square footage, and it was lined with bookshelves. It was the cutest thing. At church, part of the presentation was to tape off a space on the floor and ask if you could live in a space that small. We didn't know why they were asking, but then they showed the video.
By the way, I would have stayed with that church, but for two reasons. One was the denied the power of the Spirit. I didn't know that, was sort of knew to church life. The other is probably related: the men were out of control. They didn't advertise this fact, of course, hid it well.
Well, this is a beautiful tiny house I just saw at Pinterest. I think it might be a B&B, it doesn't look like long term living. But wow.

Edit: it hurts when I walk anywhere on garbage pickup day. Often I see solid wood furniture, just on its way to the landfill. More trees just getting wasted. Apparently also, there is a LOT of construction material that goes to the landfill, that's mainly what's there. So making something out of all of this seems appealing.
