Homeowners usually resort to add-ons or extensions on their homes, but what if adding more livable space could be easier than that? Melwood Cabanas & Garden Rooms offers beautiful small structures ranging from garden sheds to spacious small spaces that can be used as cabins, guest houses and more. The company creates their completely prefabricated buildings in Sydney, Australia and they deliver all over the country. After the home has been delivered it usually won't take more than a day to set up. Once set up, all of their buildings also have a 10 year warranty that covers both their materials and work.

 All of the small structures include pre-fitted insulation in the walls and the roof which means the building is protected from the elements. The nice thing about these prefab tiny structures is that they are adapted to suit your property, lifestyle and needs. They can even be delivered into tight spaces and placed pretty much anywhere on your property. They offer a few different options to suit a variety of needs including their eSpace Garden Rooms, Mod Cabanas, Porch Cabanas, Veranda Cabanas, Workshops and Work Sheds. Then, each of the designs comes in a variety of different sizes and prices. If you see a floor plan or model you love, but you wish it had more windows or maybe French doors, they can accommodate that in your designs.

The Garden Room models are designed for both recreational and living usage. The cabins can be upgraded to suit building requirements and codes for full-time living so you can live in a tiny house if you like. These also make great rental units or guest homes on your property. When you are considering what type and size of building you'd like to place on your property they can even send one of their estimators out to measure the property to assist you in making your choice. You can also visit one of their Display Centers nearest to you and see in person the size of the units so you can get a better idea of how much space they'll take up. Once you've chosen your design and the plans are finalized, the company will create your prefab cabin package, then they can deliver it and set it up if need be.

You will then have a structure that needs to be finished on the inside with ship lap interior siding or drywall. The floors will need to have flooring installed as well. All of the structures come with tongue and groove ply flooring and all of the wood is treated for termites to protect your small structure for 40 years. Their floor system use a sturdy piers that sit on a concrete footing which is finished before hand. So property owners must have their foundation ready to go before the contractors come to assemble the small structure. As you can see, there are a bunch of great designs to choose from in their collection and there's really something for everyone.

They can be used for many purposes and one of their Espace Garden Room 2000 models was actually used as a Bat Sanctuary for treating sick and injured bats. Other customers have turned their garden rooms or cabanas into retreats on their property, for a place to go to have some peace and quiet. Others have made them into home offices or art studios. There are even some garden rooms that have been turned into backyard pubs and lounges so you can enjoy some drinks in the comfort of your own space with that lounge feel. What would you use one of these structures for?

 

 

The Phoenix Is An Incredible Tiny House with a Spacious Floor Plan


Click here to see more PHOTOS...



The Phoenix is an amazing tiny house design that's not actually so tiny. In comparison to conventional homes, this tiny house on wheels is, of course quite small, but when it comes to tiny houses, it's on the larger end of the tiny house scale. Since the average tiny house is only about 250 square feet, this tiny house that sleeps 4 and is 303 square feet is quite large in comparison.

 The Phoenix is a whopping 34 feet long which is one of the longer tiny houses we've seen. Usually, when you're looking at tiny houses on wheels, the average length is about 24 feet, and the longest you usually see is 28 feet. Those several extra feet can sure do a lot when it comes to small house living adding even more space for more storage or even a larger bathroom with a bathtub. This tiny house design has everything you need to live in luxury while still minimizing your monthly expenses and cutting back on electricity and energy. Plus, one of the best features of this tiny house is that you can actually stand in the master bedroom which is usually not possible in most tiny houses on wheels.

If You Believe Everything You Read On The Internet, Then You Probably Think A Buried Shipping Container Makes A Great Underground Shelter. Here’s Why That’s a Bad Idea.

 The Internet is flush with articles about how easy it is to convert a shipping container into a shelter. The promise is that the main structure is already complete and all you have to do is bury it to protect yourself and your family from tornadoes, hurricanes, and even nuclear war.

 Common advice covers some level of ventilation, re-enforcement, and double-entry and exit points, but the downside and the dangers go well beyond standard assumptions...

Tiny Homes as a Retreat – Buyer Beware of the Bureaucrat

 

Lessons the economically ignorant will never learn…

 

   A quirk of family fate brought me back to live in Michigan from our beloved Arizona and what a financial shock it has been.  Our car insurance doubled in price (and we have one less car), our water bill is double what we paid in the desert (and we had horses there to water) and utility bills are double what we paid in AZ.

 

Local utility rates, despite all of our energy and water saving efforts, are high and getting higher.

 

The biggest crock-of-crap has been from our run-ins with the rural autocrat serving as a township inspector (trespasser).  We purchased an older mobile home to add more space to our small cabin.  Our plan had been to make improvements (roof over a roof, porch & deck additions, etc.) as we had done in AZ…but no. 

 

Inspector Bob, the local commissar, took it upon himself to trespass and then called me screaming so loudly I thought the phone would explode.  “You can’t have that on your property!  Get rid of it before I initiate legal action…how’d you like that where you’re from?’ he bellowed.  (Take note – on my own property).

 

I explained to him that is precisely what we owned in AZ and no one bothered us. I asked him why no one told us this when we purchased the property or why it wasn’t posted in a township website.  Apparently, their 19th century mindset precludes any of that as we’re supposed to somehow divine that knowledge.  He had no response and we were forced to have it removed and lost $5,000 and learned that in order to legally occupy our cabin it had to be 1000’.  Our 400’ building won’t cut it meaning we’ll have to spend more money to comply with unwritten rules in place by local communists.

 

You may have seen articles about tiny homes built by Tumbleweed.  His solution to bumbling bureaucrats is to keep the home on wheels.  That may work in some areas but not in communist MI (don’t get me started on their laws against carrying non-lethal defense weapons…they would rather women on campus get raped and assaulted as is so often reported on the news).

 

The funny thing is just how shortsighted these bureautwits are…

 

If there had been no interference from the blatantly ignorant township, our annual tax bill would have increased substantially and helped their coffers!

While I feel you’re only as prepared as your weakest link (e.g., food, water, security, comms, etc), when it comes to boiling it down to preparedness you really have to start with what you KNOW you will need and that begins with water and food…

The Nanny State-We love our government


From 2010 until last spring, the Virginia State Police (VSP) used automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) to collect information about – and build a massive data base of -- political activities of law-abiding people. The VSP, for example, recorded the license plates of vehicles attending President Obama’s 2009 inauguration, as well as campaign rallies for Obama and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Following a strong opinion by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the VSP discontinued the practice, and the agency says it has purged its license plate database, and now disposes of ALPR-obtained information within twenty-four hours of collection, unless it is relevant to a clearly defined criminal investigation.

America maybe on the brink of revolution?



 By Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative Reporter

The recent pattern of federal government abuse is very troubling, undermines citizens’ trust in their government and we, the American people, deserve an explanation from this government as to why this administration and others including Congress used its vast powers to commit these unconstitutional acts.

Congress wrote and passed the Patriot Act and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and was signed into law by Presidents Bush and Obama respectively. According to U.S. Rep.Tim Walberg, who is a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee which has been investigating IRS-related issues said “The lack of preparedness in rescuing Americans under attack, and the administration’s misdirection to investigators seeking the truth about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi is disgraceful. The Department of Justice’s broad phone-tapping of reporters is chilling and the slew of improprieties conducted by the IRS in targeting the president’s political opponents leading up to his re-election is outrageous.” In the last few years the laundry list of violations of Americans rights by the Government is lengthy and unacceptable by most Americans recent polls show...

Americans, the very people who the big banks, Wall Street and corporations made their massive fortunes from were forced by the United States Government to bail out those same banksters and corporations. Not one bank or corporation or any leaders have been brought to justice. The price tag that many believe will be in the trillions of dollars and were given to those same companies in the form of American hard earned tax dollars. Those very same companies are being rewarded for failing, and being too big to fail yet the American citizen is expected to weather the storm and do all the suffering without any help from anyone, much less the too big to fail group. These same groups today are foreclosing on Americans homes and businesses, and are not making loans to small business and dragging down the U.S. economy. But believe it or not they are continuing to do the same things that got us where we are only they are doing it even bigger and many believe it is designed to bring down America as we know it. Many Americans are finely getting fed up with it and are looking for ways to take action.

The lack of jobs and what feels like deep depression to many Americans that started in 2007 is still going on today with no real change in sight.
