Introduction

An American friend of mine was talking about the building cost of her house, which was just 2,600 ft.2 According to her, this was the average space taken by an average American family in the building of their own houses from scratch. She said she had already spent USD 80,000 on the architectural design, and she had not even begun! When she saw my eyes widen at the costs, she said, “What, your houses in your country or anywhere else, are not so large? And the house building costs do not come in thousands and thousands of dollars?”

Well, I could tell her that in our country and in other parts of the World, our built houses – especially colonial bungalows, ancestral homes/haciendas – and I have lived in them – were made on land just under 1 acre and even much more, so I was not anyone to talk about 2,600 ft.2.

Nevertheless, I began to think that a book was needed to tell people all about how for millenniums, people have been living in really tiny spaces, in tiny homes, and they have managed extremely well.

So this book is going to tell you all about some traditional ways in which you can build a really nice tiny home. But here you are going to think of a state of mind and a possible situation, where we are in survivalist mode. This tiny home is a shelter, for the family to protect it from the weather, animal attacks, a place to live in, eat, and sleep, and I am going to go back to the history of these houses, down the centuries all over the World.

This book is going to give you lots of information on how these houses were built and how can you build these houses yourself, especially when you need to know how to build a shelter for your family.

    Introduction

    An American friend of mine was talking about the building cost of her house, which was just 2,600 ft.² According to her, this was the average space taken by an average American family in the building of their own houses from scratch. She said she had already spent USD 80,000 on the architectural design, and she had not even begun! When she saw my eyes widen at the costs, she said, What, your houses in your country or anywhere else, are not so large? And the house building costs do not come in thousands and thousands of dollars?

    Well, I could tell her that in our country and in other parts of the World, our built houses – especially colonial bungalows, ancestral homes/haciendas – and I have lived in them – were made on land just under 1 acre and even much more, so I was not anyone to talk about 2,600 ft.².

    Nevertheless, I began to think that a book was needed to tell people all about how for millenniums, people have been living in really tiny spaces, in tiny homes, and they have managed extremely well.

    So this book is going to tell you all about some traditional ways in which you can build a really nice tiny home. But here you are going to think of a state of mind and a possible situation, where we are in survivalist mode. This tiny home is a shelter, for the family to protect it from the weather, animal attacks, a place to live in, eat, and sleep, and I am going to go back to the history of these houses, down the centuries all over the World.

    This book is going to give you lots of information on how these houses were built and how can you build these houses yourself, especially when you need to know how to build a shelter for your family.

    But before that, you need to have a really particular mindset, which is not so common in the 21st century. This is the mindset of the philosophers of ancient times, the sages, the wise men, and the spiritually inclined, whose main philosophy of life was – do not get attached to material things, and God forbid, if it is apocalypse time, you are definitely going to leave 99.9% of the things that you have collected throughout your life behind.

    So this book can be considered to be a bit of knowledge, philosophy, ancient ways of living, while also giving you information about small houses, and how people have managed to live in them for millenniums, and without any cribbing or complaining about hey, there is no living space!

    I was watching Bruce Willis’s The Fifth Element, and then, when I saw the cityscape of a future city, as imagined by the director and writer, I had to smile. Of course there will come a time when people will be leaving in tiny hencoops, high above the ground because space is going to be at a premium.

    And they are going to consider living in those tiny boxes to be a normal part and parcel of their lives, because according to them, it is natural. But we are not living in 2250.

    We are in the 21st century and luckily, there are plenty of wide-open spaces, even today, where we can breathe the fresh air, even though man is, as is normal for him trying his level best to change the living conditions around him because he definitely does not like anything which looks a bit static, natural, or regular. He has to use his own creativity to put his own slant onto things, to his own supposed requirements, and to what he thinks is necessary in life to supposedly keep
