themselves unable to afford to support larger houses, the tiny house emerged as an option for those who wanted to reduce their ecological and actual footprint, live more simply with less stuff, and to be less burdened by housing costs. &nbsp;<\/p> <p  class=\"\">There is no general agreement as to what defines a tiny house. &nbsp;The concept includes everything from hand-crafted houses on wheels that are as small as 100 square feet to site-built structures up to about 500 square feet. &nbsp;<\/p><p  class=\"\">After a lot of consideration, it was decided that the available tiny houses on wheels are not appropriate for sites in High Cove\u2019s neighborhoods. &nbsp;However, a number of houses under 500 square feet have been built. &nbsp;\n\n<br ><br >If you are interested in learning
