This is the smartest decision you have made in a very long time! There is no one turned off-grider that goes BACK ON THE GRID. It doesn't happen. People are happy with less, that's how we've been for thousands of years. With basically nothing. And we were happy. Society is way too overrated.

Houseboat sleep is solid loving sleep. Nothing waking you up when you taking a nap in a barge down there.

I have an apartment and a house; I prefer the apartment most of the time though, it's less upkeep. It's nice having a large enough place to spread out though.

Who fucking cares?

Some relatives of mine bought a house in the mountains in the Southeastern US. The house was on 8 acres, but they only wanted 3, so it was parceled out. A fat Wicca couple bought a big chunk of the property. There was a barn that they would party in; they have foam swords hung up on the wall, and evidence of camping strewn all about. After about a year they they built a 600 square foot house to live in. It's completely off the grid, no water and no electricity, the nearest water is a spring a few hundred feet away.

They love their small house. They gave up their jobs in IT and something else to give paid talks on tiny house living. They blog about it, and take pictures of them living in their tiny house.

Of course, they don't really live there. They got a townhouse in a nearby small city, a liberal oasis in a red sea of southern conservatism. But why would they bail on their new lifestyle? Could they just not stand having fewer possessions? No, it's even dumber than that.

Kitty didn't like it. Kitty didn't like it because kitty is a sphinx cat, one of those naked reminders of how horrible cats look without fur. They were stupid enough to own a naked cat and build an unheated house and not know that wouldn't work out. I'm sure there are other reasons, like the fact that living in that house is basically camping, but that's the main one.

Of course, you wouldn't know it from the pictures they post. They re-arrange the place and take pictures for their blog. They even leave a car up there to give the impression that they're home when they are at their real house. I haven't checked recently, but they may even subject kitty to the occasional visit to prop up their scam.

ahahhahaha this is the dumbest poo poo I've ever seen. 800/month and 40Gs down to live in a loving tiny box in a trailer park? WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can buy a nicer place, put 40K down and pay less than 800 bucks mortgage, even in vancouver.

That's awesome until the trailer park owner sells to a developer and then you have to move your house.
