Bull. shit. Maybe that shack cost $20K, but not the land and septic system. Septic system alone is $25K. A mini split AC would cool that shack for $800.

    Yup. He says he has a "water storage membrane" not sure what that means but a problem with a lot of tiny homes is that a lot of the plumbing for toilets is basically a bucket. When you go #2 ... apparently the whole tiny home can smell it. Not sure what the water storage membrane is but if it doesn't proper septic system then this can be kinda painful for a lot of people.
