[@sjladuke75]

Looks like an awesome & perfectly, comfortable & cozy home for you & your pup. It's important to have the outdoor storage, especially when you ride & have lots of gear. With age comes the realization we don't need nearly the amount of space we thought earlier. The tiny home lifestyle encourages less stuff/clutter & more active, quality time outdoors. I've been researching tiny homes for over a decade. My current 1800 sq ft home is way too much space & inefficient for myself & my pup. Finding the optimal community to plant roots & place your tiny home is key. Here's hoping you have many great years in your beautiful home.

[@user-eo4wl1wz6h]

Container home is nice. The closet idea is a very good design for a small space allowing room for the hangers without the unit taking up extra space on the front of it. Lots of storage capability. Something to think about on the idea of changing the design of the bed for storage, is that if you make a sealed base on it, it is very possible to create an environment for mold. I have heard of that situation from someone who had done that. Air flow in a container home is very important. Your home looks great. Curious, did the builder put an air exchanger in it?

Lovely, understated, practical, delightful. The house is nice too... 😉 Seriously, though: I love the interior. It's so practical, and well thought out. Not minimalist, but simple. I love the wood and black metal too. Especially the beams. Those black countertops are beautiful also. As far as dating goes, I would be more concerned about the amount of travel you do, than what kind of house you live in. Personally, I lost my husband 10 years ago, and have been dreaming about a tiny house for so long. It's relatively low maintenance, less expensive in the long run, and, like you said- you can always pick up and move it if you need to. Also, I grew up in colorado, and I love Durango. What a great spot to "park your house" 🙂 Finally, you have a lovely voice, sir. If you ever feel like getting out of the medical field, you can absolutely do voiceovers.

As far as dating goes,...you're better than most, so if they have any problem dating, I would imagine the location would have more to do with it than your home. Most women are romantics and a romantic thinks of a tiny house our on a piece of property. Not sure what Colorado laws are on that, but I believe the mobile home park would bother them more than the home. On the other hand, putting it on your own acreage would open the door to possible horseback riding as well, so in the end you would have to decide that as well.

I just wonder why tiny home owners like this person don't just purchase a piece of property to put their homes on in stead of paying rent? He's not in a limited space city. He can live off grid much easier now. And land outside of popular cities and states will cost much less. There are a lot of new laws that allow tiny homes to do this now.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Think it depends on what your priorities are and how much upfront cash you have to buy land. Chris really enjoys being right in the middle of the city of Durango, and being able to walk & ride his bike to destinations in town. It’s hard to find land with tiny house friendly zoning within city limits, especially on a single lot vs as an accessory dwelling. But you’re right, there’s lots of great land available for tiny homes in more rural locations. So if he decides he wants more space and doesn’t mind being further away from town, then he can always buy land in the future.

[@scotsam7590]

@@TinyHouseExpedition Good points, thanks. We live in the middle of 4 agri fields (not ours) and we have to get in the car to go anywhere, therefore yes, it's cheaper than having the convenience of town. Yes I see your point, if he's had to finance the build then it's unlikely he'll have the amount for a piece of land at least at the moment and may never want it. I come from a financial background so the first thing I do is calculate the potential investment interest. But not everything is about financial investing. Healthy, pleasurable living as Chris is doing is so important. Cheers & Bye!
