It Strikes Me Funny: Ahhh, small homes - the simple life at last

If you’re considering a small or smaller house for whatever reason(s) - surely there are over 1,000 good ones - read a post by Peter Coy referred to below.

Title: The joys of small houses

Let us pause in our worship of square footage and his ‘n’ her master bathrooms to count the joys of the small house.

1. There are fewer places for things to get lost.
2. You can vacuum more quickly. 

3. The heating bill is lower.

4. No room for furniture you can’t afford anyway.

5. Families spend more time together (because they have no choice).

Peter then provides a link to The Small House Society which takes the matter of small homes quite seriously.

You may find the electronic journey rewarding.


I browsed floor plans (The Enesti: under 800 sq. ft.) and readers’ comments and started saving for a sloping building lot I saw recently in Port Burwell.

My new wee house would have to be on stilts but isn’t that doable?

I’d park my Virago under the porch and slide down to the ground on a bronze fire pole.

Ahhh, the simple life may not just be a dream.

Can you add to Peter’s list?
