its awesome you still need to buy the land and convince the planners to allow it though...

have been looking a lot at the american micro home trend, they are very small low impact houses that cost very little so can be built rent/mortgage free and allow people to escape more easily to a life they desire over that imposed on us by society...

the problem in the uk over the states though is much higher land costs and very prohibitive planners...
