After struggling to find an apartment rental in London on a budget, Harrison Marshall turned a dumpster into a tiny home for $5,000. Here's a look inside his "weirdly comfortable" 25-square-foot space, where he now lives for $62 a month.
It’s even worse now that boutique builders are making tiny homes with aged cheddar wood and once in a century nails and crap. Houses in general should have never been made financial investments. It’s shelter.
It’s normal to me, I’ve been living in a van for 3 years, I love everything about it, in fact I read your comment which reminded me this is a novel atypical lifestyle, which then reminds me that many people take exception to it, are uncomfortable that we exist, which is the only thing I don’t like about this lifestyle, that mainstream society stigmatizes us.
But for those of us who get a thrill out of living tiny, and living anywhere/everywhere, and freedom from rent/mortgage, aaah this is FREEDOM
he’s incredibly intelligent & handy to think this up, get all the bureaucratic approval, and build it from raw materials, INCREDIBLY CLEVER, so I sincerely hope he finds companionship with a kindred like-minded activist, because at the end of the day, nights get lonely.
I wonder what kind of woman would be attracted to a man who lives in a dumpster, would want to be his companion living in there with him, and fucking each other in a literal dumpster.
Because hear me out, I understand he’s incredibly intelligent & handy to think this up, get all the bureaucratic approval, and build it from raw materials, INCREDIBLY CLEVER, so I sincerely hope he finds companionship with a kindred like-minded activist, because at the end of the day, nights get lonely.
Why am I worried that some asshole developer is going to buy that little triangle of land out from under him, kick him off, and then just leave it unused for years. Maybe that sort of thing doesn’t happen in the UK, but it sure AF would happen in the states.

Micro-houses are cool. The minimal cost and maintenance is really appealing. Having to do it because everything else is unaffordable is not.

Americans pretending other countries don’t have their own currency.
He’s got a nice sized lot there - could fit any number of more conventional options, including multi-family
Bro just live in a van. You can drive to different places and park for free.

Why didn’t he build a house instead?
Where can you build a house for $5,000?
Just poking fun at the headline. He didn’t build a dumpster. He built a house out of a dumpster.
I never thought watching Sesame Street when I grew up that Oscar the Grouch is the future.
