Ugly woodburner - what is it?

[Lime]

Looking at the video at about 2.00 minutes the box is a bit wobbly when having a bonk.

Back to other methods of warming the bed.
What seems a million years ago my family lived in a shoebox so that they could afford to send me to boarding school and there the dorms were always cold.
Even in the worst winter weather the sash windows were wide open.
There was no heating whatever.
If you shut the windows or even closed them slightly you would get a beating.
However I devised a simple and effective method of warming the bed.
I'd get into bed and make a tent out of the sheets and blankets with me in it.
Then I'd ignite my Ronson Windmaster gas lighter with a six inch long flame for about 5-10 seconds inside it.
As soon as the bed got hot the lighter was off and the hot trapped air was pushed into the sheets as the tent collapsed.
It worked very well.

Ugh! Those units remind me of the 'capsule hotels' in Japan.

I think it has a certain elegant charm, like an upmarket caravan.
Though I'd have to buy ten of them to keep all my stuff in, which rather defeats the object...

Could you possibly settle for 4 stacked on top of each other in Antwerp?

Done it - and 2'10" narrower - the very first project we were set as students was a 5' wide house in a gap between two others in a fishing village on the west side of Plymouth Sound. Mine had a big stone pineapple on top.

If your modern version was just a wee bit bigger, you could have this:

As my phone line isn't being installed until Friday, I haven't got broadband yet. YouTube has been a no go area for the last 2.5 years while I've been travelling with dial-up speed mobile internet access. So I can't watch it .

It looks like we've moved on from ugly wood stoves to tiny houses, so I've been living in 12ft x 6ft in my camper van, and it's great. In fact I'm still in it, as it's easy to keep warm than the house

"....for example, to be taken around by a travelling businessman."

What a brilliant idea! Only one criticism - isn't the name, 'Micro-Compact Home', a bit of a mouthful? Something a bit more snappy would be better.


Hey - I know! How about 'caravan'?

Internal space is 12ft long, 6ft wide and 6ft 2in high .
