it was simple...you walked through the front door inot the livingroom....then it devided to an small hallway to the left where there were two bedrooms and an bathroom in the middle, if you went straight through the livingroom, you walked into an long kitchen, to the left was your dining table and to the right was th ekitchen counter with regrig and stove opposite...if you kept walking you came into anothr mall room, th utilty room, with the furnace across from them and room for an small freezer...then came the signgle garage and the doo rout it lead to an patio in back of the house....you didn't need much furniture in this house...and it fit our critera at the time....we rented it for $90 an month back in 1967....and it was an good price to pay for it back then also. But it had all the basics for living and there are all
kinds of these houses out there even yet. From there we kept moving up into bigger houses. I guess with tiny homes you have to decide what your going to do inside of them to make you truly happy. Back in those days we both worked and would continue doing that for
many years...our houses were an place to sleep and conduct necessary living in...not live luxuriously by
any means. WE still don't do that, but at least we have more room to try out doing various things in our house...such as my craft work....maybe an home based
business someday also. For now that concludes my experience and knowledge in tiny homes.

The 1st house we bought was only 500 sq ft. It was a great house
over by David Douglas. Have you watched any of the tiny house
shows? I'm just curious because the cost to build one is much more
than even some larger motor homes. Do you think they'd keep their
value better? I think they would if they were built well, especially
since they're stick built. Others I talk too say no.
I'd like to go the treehouse route. Sell our home & keep the property
next door. Build a treehouse 30-40' up with huge deck, living room,
kitchen, bathroom, bedroom & loft. I'd have a beautiful view of Mt
Hood & no property taxes on my home.

I think its what they have been built with inside as to if they keep their value....one reason why I want to put in an service elevator in my two story house, as I think down the road it would add more value then
even new carpeting. Yes, I like to watch the tiny homes on TV and how they build them. I agree with you, some of them are way expensive. I was out by my kid's house and we were going up the road from EAgle Creek to Dover, there was an ravine with an a long line of huge trees and I thought that would make an excellent "Tree Masters" motel as you could enter from the bluff up above and look down on the ravine area and off toward Estacada. So many of the people in this area have lots of property with nothing but taxes to show for owning anything. People these days like to go place overnight and yet stay in drivable areas to the cities. Thing I didn't like about the tiny hones up in the Mt. Hood RV resort, their sofa's looked like thin
studio couches and not as comfortable as an regular sofa. I would think an higher loft on both ends would make for an better tiny home also...reminds me of the old time tent trailers that you could extend up in making an tent, with sided metal walls. Thanks to plastic these days, even dombed tops can be recessed to lay flat if need be...for moving. I think this industry is just starting these days in new ideas. But yes, they need to keep prices down...and quality high.
WE lost our Mt.Hood view as the residentical houses were built in my area. I was looking at trees though and many that could be used are very thin trees these days...because of their close spacing. WE moved over that way (David Douglas) in my sister's house, can't say I ever really liked it, it sat on an odd lot, narrow and thin, and seemed cramped living in the house. Didn't have much area to build on either on each side either. The houses down on Glacier ST. are single homes and could stand to be made into two story houses with glass tops on the existing single layer. I think that would add more value to them also.
To have good value you need something different then days that make it distinctively built. My neighbor said to me one time, I think house properties have bigger then four feet on each side and tiny backyards will command higher prices in days ahead.
