RE: Are Tiny Homes Really All That Feasible?
It would be fun to build a tiny home community full of Steemers. Maybe a Steemit Island we could buy together?
On plumbing. My favorite kind of toilet is a composting one with sawdust. It smells nice and is easy to manage, or so I am told. I only used one for a few days, but think of how natural it is and how much water it saves?
I don't know how serious you are about your Steemit Island proposition, but I'm pretty serious myself. My husband and I just bought 160 acres in Utah (on a payment plan), and we actually bought it with the intention of turning it into a village/communal living situation with a bunch of tiny houses or yurts or earthbag houses spread out. To give a better idea of how big 160 acres is, it's twice the size of Disneyland. Only problem is, it's starting from nothing. In order to get water, a well needs to be drilled. In order to get electricity, power lines need to be established. Internet is not as much of a problem, because you can use a satellite connection. The land has mixed zoning but due to the location and due to it being Utah, there's not so much restriction as to what you can build if a permit is acquired. It's near BLM land (that's land owned by the United States and basically free for anyone to walk through) and about an hour out from the nearest city (not an issue if we make money online and grow our own food as a community).
Anyway, just a thought. I'm saving up for building permits as we speak. If anyone is interested in a Steemit community living arrangement, we could make it happen.
I want to learn about your progress, followed.
Thanks for the follow. I'm in California now but I plan to visit it soon, and then I can access how much work needs to be done. The main thing I want to check out is whether there are any actual roads built nearby, otherwise we'd have to build some dirt roads, and that would be a somewhat daunting but fun task. I'll definitely do a picture and information post when I go there.
I'm interested Orcain, following. Where in Utah is it?
Just started following you as well. You have a lot of cool posts. I'll have to read those in depth soon.
The land is in the Northwest region toward Nevada's border, not too far from Idaho.
Interesting. I will have to learn about this. :) but what about drinking water and showers?
My aunt has a well band my dad an outdoor shower. But I say confer with the experts like @mericanhomestead
