Little house not on the prairie…
Blog Guy, I’m an elf who is looking for a very small place to live during the off-season, when I’m not with Santa. Any ideas?
Sure. Turns out there is a teeny-weeny place for sale that might be just what you need. Our small house specialist, five-foot-tall Claire Sibonney, checked it out and pronounced it “adorable.”
It has a kitchen – located sort of in a hallway – and a bedroom that is seven feet wide, where you sleep on a Murphy bed, which by coincidence is also seven feet wide. Claire says the “impossibly narrow” bathroom has a door that looks as though it was cut in half.
Plus, if you’re worried about furnishing it, follow this slideshow to an array of other small stuff suitable for tiny house use, and click here for Claire’s full report:
The littlest house in Toronto, a 300-square-foot home squeezed into what was once intended to be a parking space, is shown for sale in Toronto, December 18, 2007. Built in 1912, it was bought and renovated this year, and is back on the market for $172,000. REUTERS/Mike Cassese

Only $173,000? Holy Toledo!
(Or have I been living in Calgary for too long?)
Looks like that house could actually be flipped.
Obviously, this house was not breast fed.
Home is where the

is.
Build it small and only a few will come.
First base is the fire hydrant. Second is the Murphy’s car’s front license plate. Third is the Kelly’s house and home plate is this Yugo.
Dear Mr. DeVito…
Is it a house or a gyrocopter hangar?
Q. How many Torontonians does it take to build a house?
A. Idiot! Why couldn’t you just hire someone from Calgary to build it?
Hmmm. $174K. I have a stapler, seven cardboard boxes and four and a half rolls of duct tape. So long, suckers! I’m off to Toronto to earn my fortune.
