I want one

I’m interesting your Tiny house
I would like to know the cost involved in building these from foundation to finished for living. I really am interested in putting maybe several of these on our farm. Would help when we put up harvest help, hunters, and family.
You can find the manufacturer’s website here: http://www.sukup.com/Buildings/144/Safe-T-Home

I could see this used as temporary housing for missionary teams in warmer climates. I didn’t see anything on their website about insulation features, but the water and solar options a cool.
