Tiny Houses for the Masses: 84 Lumber Launches Packages Starting at $7K
"If you thought the tiny house movement was just a fad, think again. 84 Lumber, a major national retailer of building materials and services, just launched a series of tiny houses, available in flexible packages targeting anyone who might be interested in this lifestyle. In other words, 84 Lumber is out to make tiny house living as accessible as possible, whether the customer is serious DIY-er or somehow who just wants a fast, easy turnkey micro home...."

Yikes, the $7k is like a six month project, they are not like for average American people, everything is in them is like for pigmies, doors are thin and narrow, everything is thin. For $7k, not going to get much or any insulation. Most of these tiny homes go for $25k and up. I know if I attempt to build this, it be harder than building standard small building, plus I believe most of them are on frames you drive down the road. Plus, hope your knees are solid as sleeping seems to always be lofts that you crawl into. I would need an elevator, LOL. If I was to consider smaller living, I would refurbish smaller freight cargo trailers, like coming out of China, most have good solid flooring, and thicker walls. I think you can buy these out of Houston for $2,500, get blueprints of small home to get idea of cabinets, etc. Some builders where I live are making regular homes out of these and even Starbucks in Wash St are using them to make coffee.
I have had crazy ideas like buying 50 of them and renting out as hunting mini lodges out in boonies.
