That's a nice wee place. Pricey though!!
When I was a wee kid my Mum, Dad, and two baby brothers lived in a garage for six months or so. Nice garage, in the middle of Central Otago, in the middle of a huge section, but still a garage. I don't think we lived there in the winter though, as it didn't have a fire.

You might have trouble riding the bike through the house every day, as the house is where the driveway once was.

When I was at university there were 18 of us living in a wheelbarrow in the lagoon. It was OK until somebody needed to take a leak.

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

You had it easy ... We used to live, all 45 of us, in a hole in the road. We'd get up at 3am, half an hour before we went to bed, lick t'road clean, work at t'mill for 26 hours a day and pay mill owner for t'privilige, and when we got home our dad would slice us in half with a bread knife and dance on our graves.

And you tell young people of today, and they won't believe you...

[Steam]

How gauche, you actually quoted it. Implication is the new black.

[skidMark]

you should come see my flat...8 bedrooms...9 people.... my bedroom was the garage once.... it's equivelent of about one garage space in here.

oh and the house is haunted....churr.:(

[Trudes]

Still bigger than the 9 meters long bus we lived in for over a year.
Cute though, I could live there, no worries.

[jrandom]

Yeah, nowt wrong with 28 square metres to live in.

Plenty of 25m² apartments being rented in downtown Auckland.

I lived in a 'garden shed' in Grafton for four and a half years. It was fantastic! Fully self contained, 28 feet long x 6 ft wide. I designed all my own furniture to be stackable and make maximum use of the space. Never quite got around to converting my bed into a loft-bed, but that was the next step of the plan.

It all came to an end when I got a boyfriend who was more than 6 ft tall. He couldn't stretch out in the bed and used to lie down with his feet up on the windowsill.

I really adored that little place and would happily live in a space that size again. The Toronto house looks palatial in comparison!

[ManDownUnder]

I like it!

Vacuuming would be easy - open the back door and stand at the front of the house with an air compressor.

PPPSSSSSHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTT!!!!

Done!

Guess I'm real trailer trash then, there was my mum, stepdad, me and my 4 brothers lived in a caravan and tent for 6 months while our house was been built. Now that was cozy! Was literally a madhouse.
At my old job, the staff quarters was so tight I used to sleep in my tent in the bush during the summer just to get some privacy, made for some really cool parties though!

That wee place for sale is cool, not for that money though, would have to convert the lounge to a garage though, just enough space for a few bikes.

I lived on the back seat of an RG150, really wished i'd spent me money more wisely and got the GN125. More spacious and if you have the option tray you could have pretended you had a patio.

The new owner moving in.

Funny - I always thought someone who tossed midgets would have smaller hands.
