Tumbleweed Tiny House

[Kaleva]

4. When I was younger, I could handle the upkeep on a larger home.

Now a micro home would be a better fit. When the weather is good, I'm outside much of the time anyways. Although I don't know about the winter months when I'd be essentially snowbound for rather long periods inside a tiny house. But during those times, I could keep myself occupied with reading and taking on line courses.

I already do have a 900 square foot home with a full size basement on a 50X100 foot lot along with a separate garage and that I have found to be quite big enough. There's enough projects to do to keep me occupied most every day yet not so much that I get terribly run down just trying to keep up. Based on my experience living there, I could live quite comfortably in a single story 450-500 square foot home that had a full basement (basements are handy for storage, work area, laundry facilities, heating equipment and water heater) with a loft for a sleeping area.
