Well, maybe.... Yeah, it wouldn't be a traditional eviction, and probably easier than a house or apartment, but I think with this group, it would be an ongoing situation. On the last one I built, I could have sold 50 of them if I was willing to be the banker on the deal. Yeah, sure, carry the loan on someone with a 500 FICO, let them tow the house away somewhere, then try to find it and repo it when they default... No thanks....

There have been some people who have jumped on the AirBnB train with these, and rent them out. I've actually considered it, but wonder about the return on investment. After building the first one, I was considering buying a piece of land, and developing a tiny house community where others could rent a space to park their tiny houses, as it's tough to get zoning permission in many towns in this state. But after seeing how non-creditworthy the buyers of these things are, the last thing I would want to have to do is fight to get paid rent and have to evict non-payers. I expect the interest to be even higher on this tiny house than the last one, but finding someone with a credit score higher than 500 who can get approved for a loan, I know will be tough.

Actually, the door on the side is the popular design. I don't like it there, as it doesn't offer any protection from the weather, but many guys are designing them this way, so I'm not fighting the trend. On my last one, I put the door on the rear with a porch (picture is earlier in this thread), and a lot of comments I got, people didn't like it there. The other thing, these tiny houses are backed into spaces and tucked into the trees, so having the door on the rear means you have to walk all the way to the back to get in. There were a bunch of things I did during the construction that I didn't agree with, but the target market (the Millennials) "think" it's a great idea, and since they're clueless to materials, construction methods, mechanical systems, applications, etc., I just went with the "flow". They don't want to learn or be educated, so I decided to not fight the trend, even if it's wrong in the big picture. What's the issue with the mini splits? This was the first one I've ever installed, and it's a pretty cool concept, and for this type of a application, probably better than a window A/C and separate electric heater (which is what I was originally going to do). The mini splits have been a popular option with these houses.

Just the physical part, hang yourself from a 5 ft high bunk bed and do that amount of physical damage to your neck? Really? Then all the coincidences... TWO guards sleeping for 3 hours, when they should patrol every 30 minutes. Move his bunk mate out the day before. BOTH cameras malfunction at the same time. Hell, I know instantly when one of my security cameras go offline, and I'm sure my system isn't as sophisticated as the prisons. His lawyers said he was in a great mood that day. He was taken off of suicide watch a few days earlier and given regular sheets.... Sure.... Yep, nothing to see here, move on.....

it's interesting, I bought a brand new Class C in the Spring, so now I have a apples to apples comparison of a RV to a tiny house. There's been a lot of tiny house people who say "just buy a travel trailer, and save some money". Comparing the two, it's like comparing a hammer to apples. We were out in the RV this past weekend up in PA and NY, and the temps got down to the upper 40's one night. It was surprising how drafty, noisy and cold the RV is compared to the tiny house. The difference in construction materials makes a HUGE difference in comfort. That could be an issue, and you could tow it away from the area, but remember, a tiny house is a lot heavier than a traditional mobile home or travel trailer, so it would hold up to those weather conditions just like your house does. Same materials.... I suppose you could anchor down the corners with cables for extra safety, but unless it's a tornado, I'd doubt there's much to worry about. You're better off with the Class A in that situation, since tiny houses aren't design for frequent moves, and certainly ain't aerodynamic. The average owner moves one maybe once every few years. They go the tiny house/ trailer route to bypass local zoning laws, and take their house with them when they relocate for a new job. That was one of the reasons I bought the Class C this year. We looked at everything from trailers, to 5vers, to Class Cs to Class As, and decided on the C, so we can go run around and be tourists, and use the RV as a base of operations. A lot of towns are still trying to figure out what to do with tiny houses. Some towns have a minimum square foot requirement. Mostly, the towns don't like them because they can't collect property taxes on them, since they're on wheels and not a foundation. This is why many people who go the tiny house route find a place "off the radar" to put them, where no one will complain. Downtown Red Bank won't work.

Your Jealousy is showing...... again... BTW, this is what successful "tin foil" wearing people can accomplish, after they retire in their 50's.... You should try being successful, for once, you might like it.

Used travel trailer frames don't work. For starters, they can't handle the weight of regular building materials. Travel trailers are made out of balsa wood and foam, where a tiny house is made out of conventional building materials, and weights a lot more. Some guys tried that route, and ended up with collapsed frames after adding the tiny house. That was my goal, to keep it as simple, and affordable as possible. The target market is ONLY interested in price. They don't appreciate quality and the labor it takes to upgrade everything. I learned that on the last one I built. I'd have to give you my head, as that's where it came from. I designed and engineered as I went. The only thing I have is my original floorplan below. All other details were designed on the fly.

Then use Firefox instead.

Well, it's finally done. Now to find a new home for it. Took me a lot less hours this time, due to a simpler design, I almost made it within the time I originally planned. Unfortunately, it went over budget (I just can't build "affordable" and ended up upgrading a bunch of materials and fixtures from the original budget).

Gee, wonder if anything is being investigated in this case..... ....."The bombshell claim by Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner who has worked on high-profile cases during a five-decade medical career, is certain to reignite suspicions that surfaced immediately after Epstein, who was awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges involving underage girls, was discovered dead in his cell on Aug. 10. Baden, who was hired by Epstein’s brother and observed the autopsy, told Fox News its findings are more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging. He noted that the 66-year-old Epstein had two fractures on the left and right sides of his larynx, specifically the thyroid cartilage or Adam’s apple, as well as one fracture on the left hyoid bone above the Adam’s apple, Baden told Fox News. “Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,” Baden, who is also a Fox News contributor, said. There were also hemorrhages in Epstein’s eyes that were common in homicidal strangulation and uncommon, though not unheard of, in suicidal hangings, the forensic pathologist said. https://www.foxnews.com/us/forensic-pathologist-jeffrey-epstein-homicide-suicide

ABP in the red stop sign by eyeo GmbH https://adblockplus.org/android-about It might not be available at Google Play (they blocked it a while ago), since Google SELLS ads, and doesn't want the ads blocked.... nice, huh! Edit: just checked, it looks like it's back on Google Play..

Two words: Adblock Plus

I don't see that twinspires ad at all (or any others), just other people's posts.

I use that on my laptop, don't see any of that stuff.

Oh boy..... what a vision...

Just make sure to keep your tin foil wrapped really, really tight.

Going to have to make a correction here, it wasn't a "he", it was a "she", so we'll have to give that tough GIRL a big steak! Imagine, a pissed off female chasing down a terrorist... talk about degrading for the terrorist!! ....." On Monday, President Donald Trump tweeted out a picture of the military dog assigned to 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, known as Delta Force, a unit that falls under the secretive Joint Special Operations Command. When U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers with the secretive Joint Special Operations Command flew into Syria's northwestern Idlib province to capture or kill Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a female Belgian Malinois was along for the ride in the historic military operation. Her name is Conan, Newsweek has learned." https://www.newsweek.com/classified-name-dog-wounded-syria-isis-baghdadi-raid-revealed-1468238 Let me tell you, you DON'T want to be on the receiving end of a pissed off Mal.... ever.... Also, for those who don't know, these Delta Force K9s are the top .001% of warrior dogs. There are no other military or police K9s that are trained or perform at the level they do! They make the Cream of the Crop look like oatmeal!

Seems like the injuries were minor. The beast is back fighting the bad guys. ...."Earlier in the day, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the dog performed "a tremendous service" in the operation that targeted Islamic State founder Baghdadi, noting that though the canine was slightly wounded in the mission, the dog is making a full recovery. "The dog is still in theater, returning to duty with its handlers," Milley said. https://www.npr.org/2019/10/28/774156283/dog-injured-in-syrian-terrorist-raid-is-hailed-as-a-hero-in-the-mission

I'm not seeing it.

Yep. these dogs are amazing, pound for pound, the toughest warriors there are. Here's another picture of him. Give that boy a nice big steak!!!!

That's true, he is. But go easy on him, he's going through tough times.
