gypsydan Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 While many have given up their stick built home for a life on the road, I would find it hard to give up this home. http://shell-house.littlethings.com/tiny-shell-house-nautilus-javier-senosiain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Traveler Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I've seen that house on a TV special. It is interesting, but I could give it up. As with any house, it requires upkeep, yard work, lots of space which means more stuff. I'm liking the minimal, free lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkie46 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well, as we used to say, "Different strokes for different folks...." I'm with the majority here: I'd never have it in the first place! It would be significantly harder to clean and maintain. But worst of all, it would be attracting all kinds of gawkers and that would really mess with my need to be quiet and alone.

Dog Folks Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Not only would give it up, but give it away just to be rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horizon36 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I would have never owned a home like this in the first place. However, if I did own it I would sell it and invest the funds somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat & Pete Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 IF I owned it , I'd have to have a zoning variance to allow for commercial use . Advertise it and charge admission for tours and possible vacation rental or some such . There's likely a few folks that have way too much money that would love to 'show off' that place , if even for a weekend . Heck they might even buy it , at a somewhat elevated cost , as a play house for the kids . Lemonade out of lemons ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Can you change the view? If the answers NO, the house gotta go... Neat idea, but in 6 months its ho hum, whats next..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushidog Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 That would be a good interior for a starship. Other than that, I don't think I'd like the idea of mowing my carpet and the other indoor gardening required. It's an art work, not a practical abode. I don't know what the property taxes and insurance look like in Mexico, but where I live I could buy a new RV each year for what these two items would cost you for a home like this here - about 3% of its appraised (inflated) value where I live, so I'm guessing about $15 - $20,000/yr in taxes in insurance.
