Our little cabin at the beach was small, maybe 400 or 500 square feet. The living area and the bathroom were quite comfortable, but the cooking area was really tricky to get along in. Well, of course it was fine for a couple of days, but I don't think I could make it work for longer than that.
But the house in this video is less than 100 square feet! It's very efficient and seems to work well for him.
What about you? Could you manage in a place this small?

Somewhere in Africa
Somewhere in Africa...
...is the button for my black dress.
...you'll find 300 smiling children wrapped in beautiful quilts as they lie down to sleep tonight.
...there are resourceful people who use their limited resources to accomplish great good.
...is a hospital that continued to operate through years of horrific bloodshed.
...generous people who share what they have.
...are believers in Christ who are standing strong in the face of great difficulty.
...is a young pastor who can now play Solitaire, and another friend who is now proficient in Sudoku!
...there are perhaps more cell phones than there are people!
...are children who love to have their picture taken.
...is a cook who can make fine cinnamon rolls.
...there is a path that is level and smooth, but I did not find it.
...the basic needs of hundreds of widows are being met through sponsorship and skills training for self-sufficiency.
...widows all over the country are moving into their very own homes.
...are widows who come to a retreat with an offering -- a bag of beans they have grown and dried themselves -- to share with the "poor."
...I have new friends, both African and American, who have imprinted my life deeply.
...our brothers and sisters in Christ are praying for the church in America.
Somewhere in Africa is a large chunk of my heart.
