People who end up moving into tiny houses often regret it because they don’t really consider what ‘tiny’ means (things like not being able to cook a really nice meal because your kitchen is so small or just the inconvenience of having to go up and down a ladder at night if you need to use the bathroom).
The online real estate resource polled more than 2,264 U.S. adults about what they wish they had done differently with their current housing. A whopping 44 percent of participants had housing regrets, and the biggest regret among homeowners had to do with size. One in three homeowners said they wish they had chosen a larger home, compared to only nine percent who wished they had downsized.
Thanks for your reply. Meals wouldn’t be an issue. I’d be cooking dinner for my child and their partner at their place, so they wouldn’t have to worry about dinner and washing up, after work, and the model I’m looking at is single floor. I was more wondering about sturdiness in bad weather.
No worries. I’ve was construction-adjacent as a youngster, maybe I need to locate and converse with some general contractors I worked with. Thanks anyway.

It would have to be better attached to its foundations than your average trailer park trailer.
I was thinking about that. 3/8x10 rebar?
Steel frame construction with tstud sub structure and full insulation envelope clad in brick.
Or do a monolithic dome tiny house.
Both would be sturdy as hell and very energy efficient, which addresses climate change better than insulating a Home Depot shed.
That is more than I would be able to tell you, sorry. I know a little about a lot of things.

Use all-thread set in drilled holes with epoxy if you didn’t plan for that with a slab
Thanks so much! I’m just in the bright idea stages, looking for a plan, but you gave me a great idea, maybe for lift.
