Ive about finished mt Part Underground Oveol “Hobbit Hut” (?)? “Gnome Home” (?). Sleeps 2 adults / baby n youngster (on floor). NOT BIG…more a Servivil permint “tent”. FROM COUNTY DITCH CLEAN-OUT DIRT (free). 2 n 1/2 piles. #2 pile to b bath-rm. / storage….(yet to start this).
If intrusted u can see its START by visiting a Hub by “Ghoast”…; Build A Servivel Cabin on a Showstring Budget.

Thank your for your website. The interviews are great. I don’t feel so alone in my thinking despite having no one around me who is even remotely on the ‘same page’ as the saying goes. I built myself a 9 x 15 ‘little house’ in the back of my suburban home, hoping that spouse would agree to let our son, his wife and our granddaughter have the ‘big house’, but spouse is not ready to give up the big house. So the little house has become my retreat and my hope that he will eventually come around.

Thanks so much for your gracious post, Steph! I, too, think that the personalities and actual lives of small-housers are what’s lacking from most of the coverage out there so I really am striving to get that across. I can’t wait ’til you’re in the houseboat and I can include you! Also, I am always looking for other small-housers to photograph, so if any of your readers are interested they should contact me.
