The Ontario real estate market feels like a bad joke on a good day but when a property like 1070 Nashville Road comes up, it feels like that joke went a bit too far. 

Listed for $11,280,000 is this two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow with a two car garage. 

Now it’s safe to assume that the home itself isn’t worth $11 million because there aren’t even shots of the interior of the house. 

However, the listing does mention a relatively new geothermal furnace and roof, so there’s a chance it’s livable. It also apparently has a “galley kitchen and granite counters” but again none of that is even remotely worth its obscene price tag.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — In a unanimous vote, the Raleigh city council approved the use of tiny homes in city limits.

“This is a major step forward, and I would be happy to second your motion council member (Jonathan) Melton,” said Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin.

Baldwin is a leader in pushing for this project for several years to help with affordable housing in the area.

Businesses, regardless of industry, were greatly affected by the pandemic. While a lot were forced to close shop, others were fortunate enough to endure. But to survive, adaptation and evolution must be paramount. Atoy Llave of Atoy Customs has long been a staple in the automotive industry. As he and his brand continue to imagine and create, Atoy’s newest build was heavily influenced by the countless hours of video binging it brought about.

What you see here is the first-ever Filipino-built Tiny House Trailer, and it’s the brainchild of Atoy Customs.

Using an old race car trailer, Llave wanted to create a tiny house made for and by Filipinos. The result i…….

Tiny homes keep popping up across Texas. In the Austin area, for instance, several tiny home communities are already open or are in the works. And in downtown Lake Dallas, about a dozen families have settled into a tiny home village billed as the first center-of-the-city development of its kind. 

A new ranking indicates the Austin area and Lake Dallas are onto something. IPX1031, a financial services provider for real estate investors, puts Texas at No. 2 on its list of the best states for tiny homes.

“Sure, everything might be bigger in Texas, but that doesn’t mean your home has to be,” IPX1031 says. “With an average tiny home cost of $48…….

Nicholas A. Ferri Middle School Librarian Ashley Wheaton and her students built a giant faux gingerbread house out of empty computer boxes salvaged from the school’s new laptops.

“It was part of my maker space recycling activity and was all about the engineering process,” Wheaton said. “It also is a great prop for my gingerbread house contest that is coming up next Wednesday and Thursday.”

Ferri students have been asked to build a storybook inspired gingerbread house, using homemade gingerbread, store-bought gingerbread, foam or cardboard for the base. Students can use any kind of materials to decorate the house.

THORNTON, Colo. — One school project in the Adams 12 district seems so big, but it’s actually small – they’re building tiny homes for students in need.
