People’s heads are not the only places you can live without rent.
A Scottish entrepreneur woman is bypassing the costs of housing housing by living without renting in a shipping-where her expenses a total of just over $ 330 a month.
“Amazing is amazing to see my ideas gather,” told Robyn Swan, 33, about the South West news service for her non -conventional living. “Quite is quite useful for your body, but I would like to continue living out of the network as long as I can.”
The minimalist, whose purpose is to become fully self-sufficient, gets cheaper by increasing crops, increasing animals and even harvesting rainwater.
Dreamrra of Scotland to live outside the network began in 2023 when she moved from her home, sold all her properties, including her car, furniture and TV and remodeling her home so she could buy a plot of seven acres near Stirling for $ 240,000.
She then threw $ 5,400 more with a 40-foot-8-foot transport container raised on the ground for her and her partner, Luke, 29, to live inside.
“After buying the land, we didn’t even start in a caravan – we moved straight to the container and built it around us,” said Swan, who was soon forced to work by wearing her balebon residence.
Putting it in a genuine box was initially tough. Swan slept on a mattress on the floor of the transport container during its construction because the trailer where she planned to live in the meantime had been demolished.
Swan, who works as a full -time dog, eventually set a bed and bought a kitchen off the Facebook market for about $ 6,500. She later provided the house with a refrigerator, refrigerator and even a full bath with a work shower and a toilet without water without water.
“The container is a full house now – I chose what insulation and double glazing I wanted, so it’s much softer than a caravan,” she said.
However, the accommodation barebone forced Swan to become creative.
She survived the battery packages for eight months while her solar panels were being installed because she had no electricity during that time.
“I just had to fit – you definitely do better see in the dark when you did it a while,” the homeowner observed.
It also had a system of harvesting and filtering of rainwater, along with a log combustion driven by the wood donated by one of its dog customers.
If this were not “Mad Max” enough, Swan also has a polyethylene tunnel where it grows essentially “anything that can survive in Scotland,” including carrots, potatoes, turnip, tomatoes, strawberries and berries.
In addition, the house grows chickens for meat and eggs, plus rabbits and pigs for meat, which it hopes to sell eventually.
“I hope by the end of the summer, we will grow all our meat and vegetables,” Swan said. “I hope we will be able to create a market garden and sell our foot back to public. We already sell our eggs from the chickens.”
The goal is to visit the supermarket as rarely as possible. Among those few items that buy swans are milky – because it does not happen – as well as the strange intake food or “soft” wine bottle.
It also uses an app called Oil to mark excess food from free markets. The second for her self-contained “-restrained” lifestyle, Swan has managed to spend only $ 40 a week in food stores- less than half of what passed before she was transferred to the shipping container, she told Swns.
Meanwhile, her monthly expense hour at about $ 330 for the minus water tax, food and her phone bill.
Everyone was told, Swan calculates that she is spending $ 1,000 less a month than when she owned a home, allowing her to return a lot of money to the ground.
Scotland estimates that it is about 40% of self-sale at the moment and hopes to become 70% to summer.
While her lifestyle Hardscrabble may seem quite taxing, living on Earth provides “mental peace,” Swan said.
“If anything happens in the world, I know there would be no lack of food for me or my family,” the homeowner said, adding that the production of her leg alloy allows her to know “exactly what goes” too.
