I guess I hve always thought of it as a very small farm, say seven feet long, three feet wide, and perhaps six deep.
This reminds me of a reference to being dead from George Saunders' Guilty Pleasures which includes the following regarding a (yet) fictional reality show :
..."The Bachelor: Actually He Is Dead," in which a group of young women attempt to win the favor of a propped-up, moldering corpse they have been told is a young handsome rich guy who is alive. ... a tape recorder on his chest emitted sayings such as, "I guess I'm just looking for someone who'll like me for me, even when parts of me fall off," or "Well, as far as my house goes, all I can say is, it's very small and made of wood."
