Living at Walmart by Pat Pepin
While doing some research for a post on boondocking I ran across this music video I had to share it with my readers, even though it is a bit off topic. I also want to say this is not an endorsement of the big box marts of any flavor.
Staying the night in a Walmart parking lot isn’t exactly boondocking because it’s allowed. Boondocking is spending the night where camping is not allowed, in other words it’s no-so-legal free camping. It’s also important to mention that staying the night at a Walmart is only legal where local laws permit overnight camping. If you want to learn more there’s a Yahoo group about Walmart RVing.
And now, enjoy Living at Walmart by Pat Pepin.
Cool Find on Craigslist
From time to time little houses like this pop up on my radar. This time it was from a google alert I have setup with the keywords remote cabin. It’s a little cabin with a 384 square foot lower level and a 3/4 sleeping loft. It sits on 5 areas in Alaska and has some rustic amenities like an outhouse and no running water. But with views of Mt. McKinnley and the Talkeetna Mountains and a cost of $75,000 is seems like a small house real estate example worth sharing.
Hungry Hollow Parcel
On Sunday mornings Julia, Katie and I listen to Breakfast with the Beatles, a weekly radio show on KOZT, and dream about moving back to Mendocino County. Julia was surfing the Mendocino County craigslist looking at real estate for fun and found this very interesting tiny house on a bridge. It’s off-the-grid and probably not exactly a legal dwelling but it does sit on 27+ acreas near Philo, California. I’ve posted tiny houses on bridges before on Tiny House Living and just had to share this lucky find with you all. Have a great Sunday!
Since craigslist posts disappear quickly I saved a screenshot of the original ad.
Help design the new Shedworking Headquarters
Alex, the fellow behind Shedworking, is running a little shed design competition. He recently moved leaving his old shed behind and now needs a new backyard shed to serve as headquarters for Shedworking. You don’t have to be a designer, everyone is welcome to participate and he’s accepting illustrations or written descriptions. For complete details visit Shedworking.
Just for fun, and to help spark imaginations, I’ve posted a simple Google SketchUp 3D file with 10 sheds (tiny houses). Feel free to download the file and create you’re own original drawing or build on one of the houses/sheds already started in the file. I’m still working on my submission and will post it here on Tiny House Design sometime this next week. Continue reading to download the SketchUp file and see all 10 designs. Continue Reading »
