It was built for GI's coming home from WWII. It's the last one standing out of 12 that were built on 3 acres out here in the sticks. The other 11 were long gone 14 years ago when I bought all of it for 40k cash. It's still got good bones, real 2x4's (measured lol) made from local native oak. 11 big oaks, maples, spruce and a couple huge Hemlocks I'm trying to keep alive. I built basically a shanty town outside to cover grass, I hate grass., Big covered and uncovered decks and an outdoor workshop all with recycled wood from old fences or decks I gathered wherever I saw something being torn down. It's really tolerable in the summer. But winter can really suck sometimes. Thats when the house shrinks and us and 250lbs of dogs can get a little testy after a good snow or super cold keeps us couped up inside lol.
Im all for the tiny house thing. Before here my ex and I had 3200 sq ft 3 bd 2 bath 2 car garage with a FROG on a half acre in an HOA subdivision a mile off the Atlantic for 12 years. All I did on the weekends was work on that place that yard, seriously, it was an extra 20 hour work week with an 1800/month mortgage.
Fuck that.
