This abandoned shed discovered in the Florida Everglades demonstrates the durability of small structures over time. Despite weathering and neglect, the shed remains standing while a larger adjacent structure has completely collapsed to its foundation. The contrast illustrates how compact buildings often outlast larger ones when left to the elements.

That ‘shed’ appears to be a 50-70 year old garage.
Hi Paul, I really like the job you did on the micro home. I too like the fact that it is not on wheels. I am also a year away from 80 and really appreciate the fact that a person does not have to crawl up a ladder and into a loft to sleep. We are doing a great deal of research here and will be adding a more practical designed toilet system to our micro home here this spring.You did a great job!Walt Barrett
