Got to give him credit for innovation...
Could be a cheap cabin or add-on for a cabin property. I like the off-grid capabilities.

What's next? Maybe this is part of getting his pay package.
 
Tiny house is not new nor the other parts. But curiously, they have not dominated the housing market. In Huntsville, most new houses are either large "duplex" or sub-sized regular homes nearly touching.

I added a "she shed" which is a 'trailer without wheels' to my property. Nice but terribly inefficient to keep the interior livable because the ratio of walls to volume follow these equations:
  • Volume = a**3
  • Surface = 6*(a**2)
So if we compare the heat/cold surface area to the interior volume:
surface :: volume (a is the unit side of square)​
6*(a**2) :: a**3​
6 :: a​
1 :: a/6. (the volume increases 6 times for every unit of surface area)​

Warm blooded whales exist because their large volume to surface area mitigates swimming through wickedly cold water along with fat layer. Cold water that would kill a human without a wet suit. Seals work by having an outer layer of fat with reduced blood flow tor reduce heat loss.
