Review

documentary following a young couple building a tiny house. the tiny house movement has been around a while and it appeals to part of my sensibility, but i could never do it. i could cut maybe a 5′ piece of lumber on my table saw in one of these places. the thought of having to actually keep all of my life in a home about 100 sq. ft. in size is just crazy. of course most people who go to college do it for a few years during that time so it’s no great accomplishment at that age, but once you acquire more things or a kid or a career that involves bringing tools to the jobsite…it just doesn’t make sense anymore. most of the people here are fairly regular, but a few are the berkeley-type nut jobs you would expect from a movement like this. c’est la vie.
