editor Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/24/garden/24tiny.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=joyce%20wadler&st=cse At about 24 square feet, the Gypsy Junker, made primarily out of shipping pallets, castoff storm windows and a neighbor’s discarded kitchen cabinets, is the largest of Mr. Diedricksen’s backyard structures. The Hickshaw, a sleeper built on a rolling cedar lounge chair (or as Mr. Diedricksen calls it, “a rickshaw for hicks”), is considerably smaller, at 2 1/2 feet wide by 6 1/2 feet deep. The Boxy Lady, two cubes on a long pallet, is the smallest: 4 feet tall at its highest point. It doesn't look too bad for 24 square feet. It's like an old Fotomat booth. I used to know an immigrant from rural Europe who once said she'd be happy to live in a Fotomat, because it would be all hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've seen some little houses simliar to this. This one would look out of place in the heights though... http://www.tinytexashouses.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatesdisastr Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I take it that the eating table is outside? I understand the meaning of these micro houses but seriously...Could you be any more extreme? I am all for recycling absolutely everything and anything possible. reducing what we use, the whole nine yards. But this is just crazy. Definitely not a house for raising children in. Lord help them if they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 There should be a charity for these houses for impoverished people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 There should be a charity for these houses for impoverished people.Surely..if impoverished people owned land. But I'm sure the land lords would be thrilled to death if they are able to squeeze in more people per lot. You'd have an upscale shantytown.
