How about the following possibilities? I would like to design, furnish and hang the art in these tiny house backyard garden applications. Prices will range from $30,000 to $2.4 million, in the case of high-priced artwork, which can be both inside and outside.

The poverty of the New Lower Class is outrageous and there’s nothing to be done, nothing that CAN be done — the wealth of the former Middle Class is now in the hands of the Wall Street bankers and the auto industry bastards, and that’s all there is to say about that.

So with smaller or almost non-existent incomes, and no hope of EVER owning a home again, most former Middle-Classers are now thinking about Tiny Houses and they’ve joined the Tiny House Movement and have built or are planning to build one of their own.

The Tiny House is a way that lower income families can live longer and prosper better, but here are a few examples of applications that are, in most counties, still ‘way out of bounds, but under the right circumstances, such as location on a PAVED county road, these may be achievable right now, today.

Some will be just for yourself and your family, and others might be perfect as a small business. I can see a massage therapist using one of these, as well as a homeopathic practitioner or a D.C. — if you want a great design with loads of feng-shui and magic, contact me and I’ll construct a model here on the land and photo it for you.

The whole idea behind the Tiny House Movement is to make less of an impact on the land. You don’t really NEED all that space, do you? Actually, you don’t, and the resulting feeling of personal freedom from excess and invasive presence is worth the extra effort and the resistance you’ll get from the Planning Departments which represent the big builders, not the people.

Big builders want people to buy full-sized houses. The lumber industry doesn’t want you to build with less lumber, and the plumbers, electricians and roofers are all in favor of big houses.

How my Tiny House Design Project works is this:

I construct a building here on this site. It will be the building you see in the photo below. I will then decorate it exactly, and take photos of what is, in effect, an Artist’s Installation.

When I have a design that suits you, you then contract for the shed, following my exact specifications for building details, doors, windows, vents, Ty-Vek sheathing, flooring, roof plumbing and all the outdoor landscaping effects that you care to put in. In short, you use my plans and I ship you the necessary furnishings. I do not ship lighting or plumbing or anything of the kind, just furnishings and fittings, plus vases, tables, chairs, flatware, whatever you like, however far you want to take it, all the way to toaster & blender and gourmet spice station.
