>>415672> you're implying your own and separate functions> if the only use for a window was to look outside, sure, but it's notI never suggested that was their only purpose, and while using high-mounted windows allows for indirect
light and ventilation, it precludes looking out the window, which is one of the aspects of a window and I'd
think you'd agree, a pretty important one.

then you'd have to accept the increase in costs for following form (appearance) over function (not using
modern and more efficient materials and designs).
Now I'm not saying this is necessarily wrong, (people like nice things and will pay for them) but if efficient
living is a consideration, as is being suggested for Tiny Houses, then building a log cabin instead of a more
efficient and cost efficient cottage, is dumb.
And that's the problem with Tiny Houses; they're all about form over function (looking "cute") and as a result,
are neither fish nor fowl and perform poorly as either a mobile home or a fixed home and whatever savings
you might eke out get on property taxes, is lost due to their inefficient form over function design.
Again; if you want to travel around, get an RV type camper and if you own the property, build a cabin or cottage.
There are no-cut / minimal cut pole-barn designs (or builders who will do it for you) that can be adapted
as cabins for a fraction of the cost of a Tiny House and you'll _still_ be getting more for your money.
