More bits and bobs!

Told several more people about this crazy little project, and everyone is enthusiastic. My mom and flatmate are a little worried about the practicalities of it. My mom more the legalities of building it, but thats crazy because its basically a caravan for want of a better word(but oh, so much better than a caravan!)

Couple of other things, definitely want a hammock(read today that it is possible to sleep in a hammock in a tiny house and wanted a hammock for donkeys years!). Found this website which maybe handy later http://www.hammocks.co.uk/hammocks.htm

Also wanting a stable door. The top of the stable door needs to have glass in it through....I think.

Read of a forum today, two things that people wish they had thought about before building their houses, the door must open outwards because it increases living space and lets less cold into the house when it is opened up. Also the roof should be as low as possible, again to conserve heat.

Also need to find out a few things from other tiny housers, namely...

How much energy does your tiny house use?

How much does it weigh?

Any suggestions on how to do the toilet. As it will be on rented land for the first ten months and its unlikely to havesewage pipe/drain access and I cant compost blackwater etc there.
