People who end up moving into tiny houses often regret it because they don't really consider what 'tiny' means (things like not being able to cook a really nice meal because your kitchen is so small or just the inconvenience of having to go up and down a ladder at night if you need to use the bathroom).

The online real estate resource polled more than 2,264 U.S. adults about what they wish they had done differently with their current housing. A whopping 44 percent of participants had housing regrets, and the biggest regret among homeowners had to do with size. One in three homeowners said they wish they had chosen a larger home, compared to only nine percent who wished they had downsized.

Thanks for your reply. Meals wouldn't be an issue. I'd be cooking dinner for my child and their partner at their place, so they wouldn't have to worry about dinner and washing up, after work, and the model I'm looking at is single floor. I was more wondering about sturdiness in bad weather.

It would have to be better attached to its foundations than your average trailer park trailer.

I was thinking about that. 3/8x10 rebar?

That is more than I would be able to tell you, sorry. I know a little about a lot of things.
