But we do need to think about it in this country.

A friend of more old-fashioned architecture, I could however see myself living in a building like that, if well insulated and... well, without drug addict neighbours.Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-73426758999985846712016-02-15T18:36:25.880-08:002016-02-15T18:36:25.880-08:00Hi from Canada.

The go by names such as carriage houses, guest suites, mother-in-law house etc. There are two builders here in Manitoba that build tiny houses. One uses the shipping containers and have been successful to some degree. They have to be planned out well as we can get as cold as -50C. The other company builds them out of wood. He started his business last year and it has really taken off. I read he built 500 of them last year and is looking at tripling them this year. I am very interested in this movement as I plan to build one on my daughter's lot later this year. She lives in a small town. The other idea they have here is to tear down the original house then subdivide the lot in two and build two smaller houses. Those are called infill houses. It works. With the economy here, higher priced houses are not selling as fast. Everyone wants smaller cheaper housing and rooms for gardens. As of now few towns allow chickens. That will change soon I think.
