Now imaging if you will that next to the scrap wood shoe matt (damn right im going to have people kick off their shoes before entering my tiny home) a rocking chair or camping chair, and then beside that a small grill or sawn off 55-gallon barrel sitting on top of a wire spool.
So I invited a lady to check out GroverTruk last night. She blocked me afterwards. Im think it has to do with the sconces. With the wide range of sconces available on amazon, I must find the right level of sconce to make the GroverTruk attractive.

Thats what I was thinking. I even pointed out how stylish they were. There are far better on the Amazon though. I just picked the ones that only slightly exceeded my price range. It seems there is no upper limit to the sconces available on amazon though. Like an infinite rabbit hole. Maybe there is a magic sconce of charisma +6 or something on there that will allow me to convince anyone that the GroverTruk is a sane idea.

She actually was entertained by the timbershitter. I think the reality came crashing down though as she passed the "door insulator" shower curtains into to my mobile bedroom.

I even folded up my bed and bedding to make two seats instead of leaving it sprawled out on the floor.

It was weird because she was talking about having an alpaca farm up in the Andes and said she was cool with a tiny house temporarily. She was even cool with my mars colonization research. But alas I guess she wasn't the one.

Its cool though. May the GroverTruk be my matchmaker to filter out those unworthy of it.

Okay fire pit nay sayers if you would level with me for a moment and look at this photo of my soon to be screened porch area.

As you can see from the diminutive space, that the fire pit would be very close to the box truck opening.

Now imagine further if you will that in the event of a fire while enjoying some afternoon lemon water next to my firepit, that I do a running dive through the future screening out the back opening. Then tuck my self into a forward tumble, followed by a series of barrel rolls til I am outside the blast radius of the 35 gallon gas tank under my bed room floor.

Or in a less dramatic fashion reach beside me and grab a fire extinquisher, put out the fire from the comfort of my rocking chair, and continue sipping my lemon water once the smoke and co alarm subsides.

For clarification of the fire pit. The back of my box truck doesn't have a door on it. That section of my truck is just going to have a screen so smoke can just freely float out. I may put a fantastic fan above it though or vent.

Yeah, don’t do that. I’m a safety professional and see dumb poo poo all the time but that is easily the worst idea in the long sad history of bad ideas I’ve run into. Between the fire risk (and vehicle fires spread stupid quick, you might not even know it’s happening before it crosses over into being uncontainable) and the fact you’ll choke on smoke, it’s borderline suicidal. You could have a stray ember smoldering that might start a fire in your vehicle hours after you put out the fire pit.

So the original plan was to have two rooms. My bedroom then the porch was going to be a japanese-like tea room where I would have a tea table in the center with an electric kettle. Then window pane double french doors to look out of into nature. Having a screened in porch would be cheaper though.

I dont know if I'd want to come up with the panels for an electric stove. Right now I'm waiting to buy the murderhaus land where I will place a 400w solar array gazebo like thing with 4800watt batteries that I can plug into when im on the property.

You’ll never buy any of it if you kill yourself with the fire pit.

That sounds interesting. I can imagine accidently driving down the road with a flaming barrel on my tow hitch. Id have to ditch the screen though. Wouldn't want the wood catching fire.

On second thought that was also a bad idea. My firepit is 30 feet from my house and the inspector said it was too close.

edit: but he was a whiny baby and said i shouldn't keep my grill next to my vinyl siding either. psssssshhhhh

Lol no. I specifically want an outhouse detached from my tiny home cause I don't want all my belongings to smell of feces.

Unfortunately the residential code in the state I live in requires that a tiny house to have a kitchen, a kitchen sink, and a water closet with toilet and at least a shower. But I want none of those things in my tiny homes. I want a detached shower house with shitter and a detached kitchen outbuilding.

OP, just coming in to echo the suggestions of other posters in that you shouldn't put a firepit in your doomsday box truck because it will catch fire and it will likely kill you. Don't get yourself killed.

So enough GroverTruk here is the layout of the MurderHaus property.


Notice there are actually two MurderHaus and two TimberShitters. The county i live in allows one principal building and one accessory dwelling on a property. I plan to live in one Murderhaus while renting out the second one to the Tiny Curious so people can see if they like the idea of tiny houses or if someone living in one needs to be blocked after the first date.

Another thing of note is the well house / Watertower / observatory. So this is a complicated story. The property has a well on it. One of the perks of the property. It is a 6 inch well. Now it doesnt have a pump. No clue where it is. Perhaps its among the debris. Anyway, i hand bail wells for a living as an environmental professional so I want to hand bail my well to keep my strength up.

But what about water pressure? You may ask. Well instead of having a pressurized tank, the idea donned on me to make a water tower to supply water to the MurderHaus. Now my coworkers knowing that I plan to build my own helicopter one day said that I might as well turn the top of the watertower into a helipad. Well at first the idea seemed intriguing but even I know that having helicopter fuel above your water source is a bad Idea. So instead I brought back one of my idea of building my own giant telescope. It also just so happens I accidently bought a large $2000 telescope. So instead of a helipad, I'm going to turn it into observatory for the large telescope I bought until I can make a larger telescope. So this water tower will have not only a place where I can hand bail water to fill the water tower, but a staircase that leads up to my observatory.
