We’re building a tiny house. Yes, it’s true. And as we do so, we’re living in an old schoolhouse. We left jobs in the big city so we could step back a bit and slow down. We moved from an apartment building that had roughly 70 units to a town that has roughly 70 inhabitants. And it has been great.
One of our neighbors dropped by the other day with a book about the history of the schoolhouse. According to the book, the school district borrowed money from the State Permanent School Fund in 1905 to build the school. It cost $3000.
It’s hard to believe that a 120 square-foot house on wheels will probably end up costing something similar to this two-story brick fortress. We think it’s worth it.

I am sure between 1905 and now the value of the dollar has changed quite a bit . I would bet that you are still ahead of the game, that $3000 in 1905 represented more than it does now.
