They said that I probable use around 1800 gallons of water each day but I think that some days, it probably varies because my lifestyle could be different. If I lived in a smaller house, I probably would not be able to use as much water as I use now.I retook the test and I would probably use less than 1500 gallons a day.

This was a bit less extreme and balanced. I think that I trust this was more because it seems updated and asked more questions

The planning staged is simply the most important part because without planning, everything will be a disaster. You don;t know where everything is going, what you can bring with you and what you can't. You need planning so you know what you are dealing with and are prepared for what happens next. You may have the wrong parts or color paint and it makes the work even harder

Time:
You will probably end up spending a lot of time on your Tiny House. Since many people don't have the time to build a house all  at once, they have to use their time which has a lot of value. It also takes time to hire workers (if there are any) with all of the equipment, finding a build site and other things that are just time consuming.
Importance of Consumables:
Different things like nuts, bolts, glue, fasteners and etc. can end up adding to about a thousand dollars and there really is not a way to get around that if you want a secured tiny house.
Importance of Tools:
You may think that these tools are just your basic wrench and screwdriver, there are many different tools needed and they will end up costing you in the thousands.
Trailers:
When getting a trailer for the house, some old ones may work but they may need repairs, painting etc. and in some scenarios, you may need a whole new trailer.
Appliances:
A lot of the tiny houses have different Appliances whose prices could add up like sinks, hot water tanks, etc.
Build Site:
There are many people who are building their Tiny House but the location of it costs them, they can't find a location for free.

Land:
Land can be expensive,  and also hard to find where you can get land. There are also many legal steps that have to be taken.
Loans:
It is hard to pay off debt that you may accumulate and it can be very stressful. You need to find the payment method that best fits you.
Laws:
First you have to realize there re many precautions you have o make so that you do not get into any legal trouble. If you abide by laws, you can not just work on your own, you have to chose a contractor to help with everything
Social Pressure:
Many people may try to pressure you out of doing it. They can make it confusing on you on what to do.
Fear:
It can be scary making such a big move in your life just like buying a car and you become skeptical

I chose this type of house because it attracted be by the look. Also, I chose my favorite colors and things that would make the house nice on the inside.

#1: I chose the Rolling Luxury Cabin as #1 because it is one of the bigger tiny houses and I feel like it would be really comfortable to live there. http://www.countryliving.com/home-design/g1887/tiny-house/?slide=20
2: I chose this #1 because of even though how small it is, how big it appears. It also looks cozy and not very cramped. http://www.countryliving.com/home-design/g1887/tiny-house/?slide=9
#3: I chose this third because of how cool the location looks. It is way up in a tree and there is a great view

This professor decided to downsize into a dumpster. Before, he had a very luxurious lifestyle as a professor. He saw someone about to throw something into a dumpster and something sparked that made him just say "Man. that's it, I need to move into one of those guys." He said that it reduced a lot of the different noises. Not the type of noise you hear, but the type like endless tasks and responsibilities. I don;t think that I would move into a dumpster because to me, it feels uncomfortable just moving into such a small space

I think moving into a Tiny house was a good idea for him because it was his way of saving money. Benefits are that you don't have to pay as much money like you have to for dorms. Some negatives is that it is illegal so if he gets caught, he is without a house. And there is not a lot of space so  to conserve space, you can not take a lot of things with you.

A University of Michigan student has moved into a 170-square-foot home he built himself.

Christopher Cerk, a 21-year-old computer science major, loaded a tiny house on a trailer and hauled it with him for the rest of fall classes, The Ann Arbor News reported on Saturday.

Cerk didn't tell the newspaper where the home is located because it might violate local rules. Ann Arbor city ordinance requires homes to be 450 square feet or more, according to the newspaper.

The house is on the trailer on a private lot. Cerk has the property owner's permission to keep it there and will also get some water from the property's homeowner.

"Around freshman year I didn't enjoy living in the dorms so I wanted to do something different," he told the newspaper. "I started researching different ways to live. I wanted to put all the money that would be going towards rent ... to something else

It cost Cerk about $800 a month for rent last year. He spent $13,000 on materials and built the house over the past two years. He expects to save money over his last two years at Michigan, and said he has a place to live after graduation.

The tiny house features a compostable toilet, shower and two 100-watt solar panels that are expected to supply enough juice to charge his cellphone and laptop, provide lighting and power for a cook-top stove. It also has a propane heater.

"Living off the grid will be interesting because I'm not hooked up to anything, but I think it'll be all right," he said. "I have an adventurous personality and I'm very ambitious. ... I think it's just a good step for people to go toward - using space more efficiently and living in a more purposeful and simple way."

Efforts to build smaller houses is gaining interest elsewhere, but are pitted against local size rules. Supporters say they are cheaper to build and less costly to maintain. But detractors say they can be fire hazards and may reduce the value of nearby homes and property.

Tiny-house initiatives to help the homeless also have sprouted up in places like Eugene, Oregon; Olympia, Washington; Austin, Texas; Madison, Wisconsin; and Huntsville, Alabama.
