Teen Living Small In Little Tikes Playhouse

Living small, for Aaron Mcleod, comes with its challenges.

For instance, the shower arrangements: there are none.

McLeod, who is living in a Little Tikes playhouse for 30 days and 30 nights, complains he's beginning to smell because he can't shower.

The odor may have been amplified by temperatures in the 90s earlier this month. On Tuesday, a drizzly rain made things difficult.

"I'm doing everything in here," McLeod said. "Today, I got a little wet because the water is coming in through here."

McLeod's tiny home measures 4 feet wide and 3 feet 4 inches tall. He entered the 20th day of the stunt Tuesday.

He never leaves the house and he's showing his Little Tikes stay on a Web cam.

As part of the stunt, he's not allowed to have contact with anyone in person or by phone, unless it's a family member who is delivering food or other supplies.

In his blog, McLeod said he's not sleeping very well and he suffers occasional leg and stomach cramps.

The house is equipped with a desktop computer, a laptop computer, two external web cams, a handy cam, a microwave, a pillow, a sleeping bag and a fan. His computer equipment tends to overheat and not work, but he said he's determined to stick it out.

As for a toilet, McLeod uses a bucket, which his mother must clean every day.
