tiny house
Buy a used 8' x 8' container Pour a concrete slab
Than put container up in the air about 14' on four steel columns located at four corners add shed roofs to all four sides Enclose for sides with sliding doors, windows walls and you have a nice tiny house The architect Charles |

Unfortunately, with expensive housing markets getting the $$$ to pay cash for the land is a bit of a stretch. Banks hate it when you want to build a 150k house on a 300k+ piece of land.

Why not just buy an Airstream or proper camp trailer? Aesthetics aside, they're likely lighter and far better designed than what random would-be architects come up with.

I don't think Airstream makes toy-haulers.

You hit the nail on the head. Land is a challenge. There are many ways to build a small, smart, sustainable house for very reasonable dollars. Finding affordable land where you'd like to live.

Also shown in that thread, the centerpiece of my tattoos commemorates the day I was ordained. And, so as not to be accused(!) of injecting religion into this housing thread, the Theravada lineage of Buddhism I practice does not consider itself a "religion" . . . nor do I. It traces back to the original texts and teachings, in which Shakyamuni himself clearly refuted any talk of any deities (including, and especially, himself), and shared (taught) a philosophy and way of (looking at) life, not a religion. But, in the Western world, Buddhism is lumped in, and clearly thought of by the vast majority, as a religion. An interested side note resulting from that: In the U.S.A., according to some sources, in 48 of the 50 states, Judaism is the second most practiced religion (after Christianity, which is first in all 50 states). In 2 states, Buddhism is the second most practiced religion . . . in Hawaii and Oregon. Again, according to some sources (clearly it is the 2nd most practiced in Hawaii, the call in Oregon is a bit murkier, due to underreporting, etc.). While, due to family circumstances that have befallen us over the past ~21 months, I have not been able to return to Thailand in that time, I largely practice solo and at a Wat (Thai Buddhist Temple) located just outside Salem, Oregon. That Wat is home to resident Thai monks, and serves a surprisingly large Thai community in the region. My incredibly understanding and supportive wife, just last month, told me that she thinks it is time for me to start planning another 2-3 month stay in Thailand. For me, that is the equivalent of your spouse telling you that you can have as many bikes as you can dream of, inside the house, all at once (ironically, a concept that my wife can't quite embrace, although she is tolerant of our bikes). Hopefully I didn't stray too far with the above thoughts... |

Actually, I have always wanted to erect a large wall tent on a wooden platform by my pool, run an extension cord out and call it home for the fall and spring in AZ.

I think that the only people who view Buddhism as a 'religion' in the West are those who either don't practice Buddhism, or are otherwise poorly-informed. My own experience has been that since coming to the West in the early 20th century or earlier, Buddhist monastic (and lay) practice has been squarely focused on 'transmission beyond words and scriptures'.
