To make life as easy as possible once you’ve moved in, you don’t need to be hooked up to a sewer system. Instead, you can use a compostable toilet or a black water tank. Empty the tank once every two months or the compostable toilet every three months. To go further off the grid, you can get your electricity from a battery, wind, or solar power.

It’s technically a travel trailer, so you can haul it from place to place if your friends decide they need their driveway back.

They also plan to make the home smart, with automated locks and lights that run off your smartphone. That’s good, because even the space a router takes up is valuable real estate in a tiny home.
