Daniel hand builds tiny houses in Indiana. This tiny house dubbed “Snails Away” was his first tiny house build that he lives in. The fact that it’s hand built using materials from here and there gives it loads of character. It has a sound-proof roof for recording music in, and what’s super-unique in the soaking tub up in the loft. Thanks to Daniel for sharing his creating and his home with us!

Finally, a tiny house that isn’t on the West cost. Hello fellow hoosier.
so nice…specially the roof
who cares about the off-loading lil orphans….(pooping) that’s the most
pleasing I’ve seen yet. nice work bud.
I love the window placements and wood work
i like this house, but dont like much this interior decoration
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Underpasses an issue?
stupid idea!
i like the curved ceiling.
What do you do if you order something online? Where does it ship?
I hope you gfic plug an any electrical around your tub?
You boo boo in the woods. ??
The ceiling was shown for like 10 seconds
tub but no bathroom? nice layout
I love taking a bath and soaking in Epsom salt with lavender it is so
relaxing. Great idea using a loft concept for the tub!
I am Daniel Weddle the builder and occupant of Snails Away. I thought I
would answer a couple of the main questions that have come up .
Poop, where does it go?
Currently I poop in my partner’s tiny home, which is equipped with a
Nature’s Head composting toilet. In the future there is a space next to my
tub for my own composting toilet. My toilet will store outside the
structure and will be pulled in like a drawer. This is a design I very much
admired in a home I saw in Asheville, NC so I adapted it for my own use.
Breaking the rule #1 by lofting water?
The lofted tub was/is one of the most difficult design features of the
home, though I felt is necessary for preserving the continuity of the
common space while making a truly relaxing space. The primary support for
the tub comes from a hickory post that ties into the rafter system of the
house. Additional support is provided by a lean wall at the base of the
tub, 2″ poplar planks beneath the tub, and very large hardware.
Thanks for your questions and thoughts.

This is wonderful!
that tub is going to be a disaster and where will the water drain out at?
bad idea putting that tub over the sitting area.
that is such an interesting layout. As for the bathroom if anyone wanted to
borrow this idea you could put the bathroom where the music room is. Or you
could put the tub (and a laundry!!) downstairs in that space and build an
outhouse or squeeze it in somehow. but as long as the weight is accounted
for and the engineering is handled correctly….that upstairs tub is OK by
me! why would it be any different than having a tub in an upstairs bathroom
of a regular house?
