I can't remember if I posted this somewhere else.... but anywho.. 8)

This is a video about a lady who decided to move out of her big house with a big mortgage and move into a small house she built herself.

Here's a different womans story about living in the same type of small home.

When I die I want to die in my sleep like my Grandfather.
Not screaming and yelling like his passengers.

Sweeeeeeet!

That first gal is very cool.
She could never sing Madonna's song "I am a material girl"

I will try and email her and encourage her to haul that home up into the mountains and do some country living...or build a little Skip B&P'er.

Maybe she could move that little house up in the country somewhere on a little piece of property in..... Colorado! :D

Didn't she live in a shoe? :roll:

Anyhow, looks like a Tumbleweed home, and though that's a bit smaller than I'd want to go with, I got to commend her for taking a step back from competing with the Jones's.

What is a tumbleweed home? Did you ever see the guy who has a old rickety shack wagon thingy that he lives in and he pulls it around with 2 horses? I might have seen him in a Mother Earth News magazine.
