/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'm kind of mulling around with the idea of converting a cargo trailer into a sort of tiny house. Obviously at under 100 square feet, the possibilities are limited. But at around 2500 new, that gets you your basic floor, walls, ceiling, and doors, in nondescript box form. Assuming a very mild climate, it seems like you'd be able to shove just about everything a body needs in there aside from a shower, which I'm already paying for at a gym.

Way I figure it, rent out here is north of 10k/year for a studio with a shared fucking bathroom, let alone a 1bed. If I could get out of renting for even one year, I'd be a damn sight further along the way towards saving for a down payment. Of course, I'd imagine living in a tiny weird box is not going to prove popular with the ladies, even if it is outfitted with solar power so's I can watch pirated anime.

I suppose the smarter option would be to look for work somewhere more rural, but my career trends towards the outskirts of urban areas.
