Tiny House? NOT!

Am I the only one who gets irritated at the TV shows about "TINY HOUSES"? 

Irritated because most of the shows are REALLY all about custom made RECREATIONAL VEHICLES (RV's) NOT actual HOUSES.

As far as I'm concerned the folks that put those shows together just aren't all that smart. Or maybe they just feel that it's "artistic license" and they can call an RV a house and since it's TV where nothing is "real" anyway, everyone expects definitions to be "stretched".

So, does anyone else agree that if it's on a permanent foundation it's a HOUSE and if it's on wheels it ISN'T?






This last house uses an idea that I particularly like, building with shipping containers. It actually could work as a custom RV as well.

OK, no wheels, but definitely not on a foundation, a variation on the "portable" theme.

As you might expect, my personal interest in tiny houses is finding you some land to build YOUR tiny house on. OR, if you like the idea of a custom RV instead, I can find land for you to park it on when you aren't on the road.

HOME PLUMBING SYSTEM INNOVATION

Image
Since indoor plumbing was invented (the photo is a communal toilet room from a couple of thousand years ago) there really has not been a lot of innovation in the systems, everyone relying on some form of rigid piping for water distribution and drainage.  So, I thought it was interesting when I saw a hot and cold potable water distribution technology that uses flexible polyethylene tubing instead of pieces of rigid pipe glued, screwed or soldered together that we are all used to seeing.  I think it’s pretty slick, and it appears to me like the way to go. Manifold Home Piping Systems What are they? Manifold piping, or home-run plumbing systems are a plumbing option that generally uses a type of tubing called PEX — cross-lined polyethylene piping.  The pictures pretty well show how it works.  The idea is that each tube runs continuously from the centrally located distribution manifold out to the fixture it serves, without a bunch of branches and fittings h

Planning to move?

Is a "Moving Day" in your future? Don't Ask, Don't Tell? That is, if you don’t ask moving companies the right questions, they may not tell you about add-on charges that could surprise you unpleasantly when you get their final bill. There are some potential expenses you may not have considered when using a moving company. When people start planning a move, they might begin by going online to get a few moving quotes. Most companies will offer you a free quote, online or over the phone, so it’s really easy! BUT, you should keep in mind that these quotes will only give you an approximation of your total moving cost. Here are a few things that won’t typically be in their off-the-cuff figure. Not exactly a “hidden fee” but some things you may have failed to ask about. 1. Extra weight Many moving companies base their quotes on the weight of the shipment, but this means that the accuracy depends on how close the weight estimate is.  Whose figure is it? If th
