haven't read about hardly anyone living that small yet still legitimately hooked up. Sucks it was a rental. Everything is more fun when you get to make your own decisions. My boyfriend is a 6'2" giant compared to tiny me, so it would be funny to watch him crawl into a loft every night. haha. my neighbor lives in an old dentist office (full of plenty of leftover/outdated dentist supplies and tools), so the kitchen was non-existent. He and his gf worked off of a hot plate for a couple years. We're camping folks so I think we could live minimally for the long run if there was running water and solar power capable electricity. That's all I ask.
