why not a fire barrel tow hitch attachment to maximize porch real estate?

I know, I know: it doesn't have the certain 'je ne sais quoi' of an indoor fire pit.

(the 'je ne sais quoi' being the high probability of everything stinking like smoke, carbon monoxide poisoning, or complete immolation.)

It's not indoor if it's a truck instead of a house.

But what about water pressure? You may ask. Well instead of having a pressurized tank, the idea donned on me to make a water tower to supply water to the MurderHaus. Now my coworkers knowing that I plan to build my own helicopter one day said that I might as well turn the top of the watertower into a helipad. Well at first the idea seemed intriguing but even I know that having helicopter fuel above your water source is a bad Idea. So instead I brought back one of my idea of building my own giant telescope. It also just so happens I accidently bought a large $2000 telescope. So instead of a helipad, I'm going to turn it into observatory for the large telescope I bought until I can make a larger telescope. So this water tower will have not only a place where I can hand bail water to fill the water tower, but a staircase that leads up to my observatory.

Only problem with hot dogs are that they aren't modern dinosaurs like chicken which is about the only meat my cholesterol ridden body will let me eat lol. When I look a chicken in the eye I know that i am looking at a dinosaur that if given the proper circumstances, would love to devour me whole, and im sure eating them is payback for dinos eating my mammalian rodent ancestors. I actually prefer not to eat meat, but its more convenient to order on the go than plant based options at the moment.

The GroverTruk is going to sit on the west parking area and serve as a sleeping area and hauler while I build everything else. After that it will be used as a mobile work station as I fix and flip houses in my spar time afterwards.

Its only a theater act in regard to the murderhaus if the seller keeps delaying the stupid contract. I need this land now! The TimberShitter must be built!

After that I can finish the GroverTruk while demoing the murderhaus land, work on the Observatory Watertower, then work on timberframing the murderhauses.

As you can see from the diminutive space, that the fire pit would be very close to the box truck opening.

Now imagine further if you will that in the event of a fire while enjoying some afternoon lemon water next to my firepit, that I do a running dive through the future screening out the back opening. Then tuck my self into a forward tumble, followed by a series of barrel rolls til I am outside the blast radius of the 35 gallon gas tank under my bed room floor.

Or in a less dramatic fashion reach beside me and grab a fire extinquisher, put out the fire from the comfort of my rocking chair, and continue sipping my lemon water once the smoke and co alarm subsides.

op you can totally rock this and having helped my spouse build his own tiny murdercabin on the back of his truck, I'm happy to help if I can.

you can totally do a woodstove. Fire pit is pretty risky. Have you considered a small outdoor fireplace complete with a smokestack? That's possible, it'd just be tricky to do.

E: Are you intending to use shingles or silicone for the roof of your GroverTruk? Because those suckers are a pain about leaking with little notice and molding your interior to shreds.

You should try to get alligator meat. It's very good, especially when fried. I'm pretty sure it fulfills all of the requirements you've mentioned.

Thank you for the support. Im leaving the roof of the GroverTruk as is. The only things left to do on the GroverTruk is ceiling, floor, doors, and fan. Then trimmings. After that its deciding what to do with the porch. The firepit was mainly for ambiance while I invited someone over to chat and such. A wood stove may work. But im weary of opening my doors and having to walk around a smoke stack.

Yeah it does. Except an alligator can eat me now. So im a bit weary on that. I dont want to get the gumption of wanting to challenge one to a fight to the supper where the first one dead is supper for the other.

But I want none of those things in my tiny homes. I want a detached shower house with shitter and a detached kitchen outbuilding.

They sell helicopter building kits for somewhere between 20-30k that you just assemble yourself. pretty neat. Interestingly you can get a used cesna for about that price too. In my search for cheap aircraft, I also found paramotoring that may be worth looking into if youre into flying. A paramotoring kit is like 5-10k

That sound awesome if youre willing to talk some about it message me. Im weary if the county would just override it. What I want isn't much i just want a detached showerhouse/shitter and an outdoor communal kitchen. Right now I'm fighting with the county to see if my land perks to see what kind of septic I need through a soil scientist, but I already have a shitter. Do I really need a septic for greywater? The county said they won't let me build a house on it unless I have "running water" whatever that means. Hopefully a water tower observatory will accomplish that.
