This Man's Forest Den Home Only Cost $12 to Build!

This  forest den certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but this house which was constructed almost entirely from reclaimed materials and cost only 12 dollars to build has served as a comfortable home for David Gell for over 5 years now. 

With no electricity or running water, there’s no question about it that this way of life certainly presents a few hard-ships. For Dave though, this home represents the ability to live affordably, and comfortably in a place that meets all of his needs…
Whether you love it, or hate it, to construct such a functional home for only $12 dollars is certainly an impressive feat. A simple outdoor kitchen has been set up, although most of his main meals are actually eaten in a communal house which is located a short walk from the den. There, he is also able to shower and charge his electronic devices…

Refrigerated Box Converted into Tiny Cabin

“Tim Creek and his family bought a Refrigerated box that was rusting away in a field and had bigger dreams for it. They converted it into their family cabin!”


This video shows how they built a $30,000 tiny cabin for $3,000 – $4,000 not counting labor.

Artisan Builds His Tiny House from Salvaged Trailer 


This Artisan built his tiny house from a salvaged trailer – with no plans!
The home started as an old travel trailer and today it features beautiful hand-forged hinges, a monkey-bar ladder to get down from the loft bedroom, and a gravity-fed water system for washing dishes. He never had a floor plan in mind, and created the home as he built.

 Enjoy!

Small Canadian town will give Land and Job to anyone willing to move

Cape Breton is a small island located at the eastern end of Nova Scotia, Canada. a bakery and general store, is a staple of this hidden paradise which is looking to expand. Actually, they have everything they need for this purpose, except...people.


Farmers Daughter  write:
"BEAUTIFUL ISLAND NEEDS PEOPLE. We are an established business in the heart of Cape Breton, rich in jobs, land, and potential, but no people. Are you someone who is looking to live a simpler life, close to nature, in an area that still believes in community meals and weekly jam sessions?
continue to build on our accomplishments but we don't have enough hands to help.
We are located in a little village called Whycocomagh, which can be found in the middle (the heart) of Cape Breton. It is an area surrounded by beautiful mountains and the shining Bras d'Or lake where kayaks and canoes outnumber motorboats.
If you decide this opportunity might fit your dreams and goals for a close to nature and community focused life, then we are willing to offer you 2 acres of woodland where you can immediately set up your tiny house or quaint cabin. Plus give you access to our farmland and other resources we have available. If you are still working with us after five years and we all still like each other after that time, then the land is yours for the cost of migrating it out and putting it in your name. Cape Breton is amazing but our population is decreasing. Corporate development has been seen as the solution in the past but that often comes at the expense of our environment. We think there is a better way.

The Farmer's Daughter Country Market writes:
We can't give you big money, but we can give you an awesome life. Our business is busy from May to December, with slower months January to April, so you can enjoy our amazing winters. We have lots of good ideas and we want to
We are a true four-season climate and we love it that way. We are looking for people who are environmentally conscious, want to be part of a community and will see our business not as you work for us, but we all work together to create something to be proud of. If you take pride in being friendly, helpful, and positive and have skills in the food industry or customer service, then you are who we are looking for. We cannot offer you big money (wages in local small Cape Breton businesses are not high) but we can offer you a great incentive to come and try us out. One thing our business does have is LOTS of LAND.
