Hello everyone,

I'm new to this sight, the area and are interested in putting a tiny home on some land my wife and I purchased in Surry County. Can anyone recommend and tiny home or small modular home builders within 30-40 miles of Pilot Mountain or Dobson area? Everything I find on the internet seems far. We want to see a few and "kick the tires"!

Wilkes is real funny about tiny homes. As long as its self sufficient and off grid your good. If you try and get power then you need a permit.

your better off to go where they sell outbuildings. can get with porch on front with sheetrock walls and already wired for electricity cheaper by far than tiny houses. sell those in Jonesville for like 80000 bucks. can get the building for a third of that

I don't see any issues with codes say X sq feet is to small to be a house.
There are some rules about not permitting permanent structures near water ways flood areas ect

I heard you couldn't build a permanent tiny house in Wilkes because of building codes. Does anyone know more about this?

Wilkes Community College Building Construction Technology program is building Tiny Houses. 838-6100 ask to speak to Eric Hurley, Instructor.

I agree w/you antithesis, all we're doing is heating & cooling space we don't even need or use. Mainly we use only 3 rooms of our house. I could live in one if I had a sleep area where I couldn't hear anything & dark.

It's interesting to compare ourselves to other countries.

In Hong Kong, the average residential floor space is only 161 square feet per person! In China, 215 square feet. In the US, it's 832 square feet.

The only country with more room per person than us is Australia.

It does sort of make you think, why do we spend all that money on a 2,000 square foot house? What do we really get out of it in the long run?

We used an outhouse, had spring "gravity" water & cooked on a wood stove when I was growing up. Our house was 4 small rooms for 5 people. Now that's fashionable??

I have a personal space thing. I just...I mean...no. I need room to move.

CitizenM hotels have the toilet in the shower pod and you have to walk through the shower to get to the bed.

I stayed at a hotel once where you couldn't close the bathroom door if you were on the toilet, it's not the life for me.

"While I am pooping"

I want one. I can make a sandwich while I am ****ing. Come stay the night with me after I eat messican food.

...with about 800 of it heated....I stand corrected....Willard says....he has a whopping 640sq ft heated......160 is storrage......
