Dream Home #5




This is an off-grid, highly efficient, green designed home that is also, technically, an RV. That I could afford.

And It's made in Canada, no less. Go Canucks!

Yo Betty,

had been looking at micro homes over the last year for kicks and giggles and discovered that this (http://www.inhabitat.com/2005/08/22/micro-mini-home/)euro model is available with all bells and whistles in stainless steel for about 50K euros.

Of course, you could simply get a old copy of Mother Earth News, look up this article (http://www.motherearthnews.com/Green-Homes/1995-04-01/The-World-of-the-Microhouse.aspx?page=8) and send away for the author's plans. You make your own and it costs less.

If I remember, this article has some good ideas for cutting costs, such as using old Styrofoam packing crap as insulation for your teeny home.

Enjoy the reading!
