Ladies' Home Journal recently featured an article on Tiny Homes , about 3 different families living in small spaces. The average American home is 2,400 square feet (223 square meters) as of 2010 ( source ), while the homes featured in this article were 128 sq ft (12 sq m), 960 sq ft (89 sq m), and 336 sq ft (31 sq m). average size of an American home through the years The families ranged in size from a married couple to a married couple with 2 kids, and for the most part, they were happy with their decision to downsize and live in smaller digs. While I think the two super small homes are a little extreme, a family of four living in a 960 square foot home sounds doable. The most important thing is that the house be well designed for that scenario. Mr. G and I lived in a house that was just under 1100 square feet and had ample space.

That may be the dumbest waste of money I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteProbably a waste of money, but I think they'd make a good gag gift, haha :)

DeleteThank you for the good luck and all the well wishes you've been giving me! It really boosts my spirits :)

DeleteAh no - I didn't even know it was a TV show. Perhaps on cable? Or at midnight?!
Deletehaha, all kinds of strange things are on at midnight. I think the main idea of the show is following around people who make duck calls - those little things duck hunters use?
DeleteI've never heard of Duck Dynasty but that doesn't mean it isn't on TV.
ReplyDeleteHow big are the lollipops? They don't look an attractive or yummy colour! But I agree with you - as a joke gift, something I'd buy my nephews, they'd be fun.
Very true - there are plenty of shows I don't know about either! They're 28 g and I'd guess about 5 cm long? The boys in my family in about the 10-12 age bracket would find these hilarious. :)
