That woman was more focussed on what she’d have to give up than on what she could gain. And while I’m at it, that ceiling looked plenty high to me. I think she would have been more impressed with a Fencl or similar model, as most people are because they are more house-like in appearance.
I thought the ceiling looked pretty high too! I think it’d be an awesome little house to live in, I loved it.
Lots of storage in the bedroom too.
I think the woman will probably dislike any sort of tiny house, haha!
I dont think she gets the tiny house movement, but thats ok cause the seed has been planted and someone who was watching this will go to the tumbleweed site and learn all about the tiny house movement and living a more simple life.
Great point Lovely
