SUDBURY — Recent microhome purchaser, Tom Pederson says he is looking forward to life in his tiny house that cannot move anywhere.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of the tiny home movement,” Pederson said as he sat down on a surface that appeared to serve as a kitchen counter, desk and ironing board.
Pederson’s home is about the size of a bachelor apartment and, although one might assume its small size is balanced by limitless mobility, it is in fact firmly fixed into the ground by a solid concrete foundation.
“There are so many benefits to owning a microhome,” began Pederson. “You save money on electricity and water, it reduces your impact on the environment and, all of my worldly possessions are in a storage locker only 20 minutes away!”
“Our parents’ generation had such excessive living spaces — “ explained Pudderson “— an upstairs, a basement, ample head room, who needs that?”
“I’m looking forward to having kids of my own one day,” he beamed. “I’d just need to pop in a couple of loft beds right there,” he said, pointing to a closet.
“I know you think I probably go crazy in here,” said Pederson, unprovoked. “But, if I’m itching to get out into some open space, my mountain bike is in my storage locker — and only 20 minutes away!”
Pederson then walked over to his mini fridge to get a water bottle. “There are so many people who want to detract from this move — DAMN IT,” the proud home owner shouted as he wedged his toe between the fridge door and a cabinet.
He then excused himself to the bathroom: a toilet separated from the kitchen by a shower curtain.
Pederson returned and stared listlessly out the window.
“I have absolutely zero regrets about this purchase. None at all. None,” said Pederson to no one in particular.
At that time, Pederson concluded the interview because he needed to go feed his dog, who lives in his storage locker only 20 minutes away.
