No mortgage...

Wait... no debt? Isn't that un-American? Aren't we all supposed to
be enslaved to the banks?

See the video athttp://Muvy.org

I saw it featured on a major media channel. While this is along the
idea of something I would like to put on my land in TX, I do think
84sq ft is a bit on the small side for 1 person. I have messed
around with floor plans for small cabins and came up with a 500sq
ft floor that seemed livable. Actually I started with about 1000sq
ft and worked my way down to about 500. Very simple rectangular
design, 1 bed, 1 bath, kitchen, dining / living area. Tried to keep
the design /green/ I.E. solar power, supplemental water via rain
water harvesting, composting toilet, etc. etc. etc. I figured I
could do the whole thing for about $10k using recycled stuff.

Nope, its just not feasible to do a one size fits all even in those.
