I would love to do something like that but unfortunaltey I have no where to
park it :/
That is so cool. Thanks.
the left side of the kitchen cabinets (with the stainless steel counters
and white doors), are ikea free standing kitchen sets! I love when ikea
furniture gets incorporated into tiny houses – love ikea & love tiny houses!
Hey thanks for posting these. I really enjoy seeing design in a small space.
Wow – how did I miss this! This is awesome! This place does have a great
kitchen. Good job, Alex 🙂

COOL!
Love the video. Thumbs up on the Japanese style air-con. They are pretty
efficient. I’m thinking about top heavy issues with bad weather…
They went to the width of a house trailer which requires the special permit
to move, it is a foot and a half wider than federal standard for a camper
trailer. It could still be moved fairly easily on country roads though
slowly and carefully Another way to accomplish a small home on a trailer
chassis is to use two camp trailer chassis side by side as a form of “mini
double wide”. Combine that with slide-outs and you can have a place that is
close in size to Ikea model homes.
Surpising, it doesn’t look like they insulated the floor. I don’t know much
at all about building houses, but isn’t the floor supposed to be insulated?
I didn’t like their taste in design. The house was nice, but poor
aesthetically.
STICKIN’ IT TO THE MAN!
who is god who is the man
Holy smokes, that’s a big “tiny” house. Lovely none this less. How come no
video of the house instead of stills?
God as in the creator of the universe.. the man most likely being the
government.
Is their a stove or burners for cooking? I do love what they did with the
old trailer, made it into a homey place.
this is a nice build. but, i have a few questions it is atleast 3 or 4
times heaver than the trail that was on it did you meet weight requriments
and it look like it is 2 feet wider also can you even pull it down the road
with out an escort?
He said in the video that they most likely will not be moving it but I
imagine that if they did need to move it would need a wide load permit and
road escort. But I’m sure that wouldn’t be to difficult. Just treat it like
any other mobile home on the road.

this is a great house. I’m assuming you need a special permit to haul a
house that is 10 feet wide? Also do you have any idea how you can tell what
the GVWR on a trailer like that is? I’m having a hard time finding a proper
trailer for my house, starting to think maybe I should do what they did but
I don’t know how to tell the GVWR on those types.
I think for weight, and keeping the ability to tow it without permits and
chase vehicles, I would have kept 8’ wide. That looks very heavy for the
axles, trailers that size (five lug wheel/15 inch rim) are 7500# GVW, all
wood construction= way more then that. Nice job on the house though
There is this big AC unit (inverter maybe) and they still use probane
heater? I think large inverter-heatpump would be much more sufficient for
tiny home. Same unit for heating and cooling, and it’s also cheaper to use
than normal heaters.
I found out that for wider than 8.5 feet you need a wide vehicle permit.
I’m not sure what goes into that. But for a house you might only move say
once or twice a year, it doesn’t seem too too bad.
Just how are they “sticking it to the Man”? It’s a glorified travel trailer
with all the inherent requirements for siting. A commercially-built TT is
cheaper to buy, and lighter in weight/easier/cheaper to transport. It’s a
great thing to design and build your-own home; a great accomplishment. I
designed my-own fifth-wheel, had it built for about $40k in 1999; it was
awesome.If you can situate it in a safe, convenient and legal place, ‘you
have it made’. But there’s no free lunch.
I’ve been watching all these “tiny home” videos and listening to them be
touted as an alternative to large homes with their equally large expenses.
Truth is, these tiny homes have been around for decades and can be
purchased far cheaper than the ones in these videos. They’re called rv’s.
Nice, sub’d.
Very Nice!!!!!
it should be done By now so how much did the house its self cost to build –
the deck? im lookging for something that can be pulled.. it over all looks
really good tho..
Bigger question: Who the FUCK are you? LOL
In Texas, it’s 8′ 6″ wide for a max.
In Texas you’d need a permit, but not a road escort.
You do the plumbing just as you would in an RV, or travel trailer.
Floors are usually insulated on trailer houses, RV’s. Regular “Pier and
Beam” houses, probably the oldest and most common type, are hardly ever
insulated, underneath. They are, however, underpinned, which helps hold in
the heat from the ground, and whatever comes through the floors of the
house. This acts as insulation, in effect, dead air space.
I like the idea of an extra wide 10 foot tiny home on wheels. I also like
the idea of no building codes by putting it on wheels. However, does this
require a license/title if it will never see the road? Can the authorities
stop you from living in it on your own land if it is not licensed/titled?
Great job narrating, really enjoyed your presentation. Glad I found this on
YouTube; I love this place. Thanks for the fb link! 😀
I didn’t see in the video or on the floor plan any place for a closet.
Where do they hang their coats, when they come inside in the winter?
If you live in an unincorporated area out in the county, I don’t think the
authorities care WHAT you live in. They don’t here in central Texas. 15
years ago, we built a straw bale home, and we didn’t have to get any kind
of permits at all. The only thing regulated was the septic system, which we
already had with the mobile home that was on the property when we bought
it. I did all the electrical wiring and plumbing myself. We used 20-ft
telephone poles for the foundation.
I don’t consider this a tiny house, this is a mobile home, just rebuilt to
their own specs.
Bet she and not he, is making that bed. Must be a bummer changing the
sheets???? ugh
Love the kitchen!
I live in San Antonio and have been looking more west of here to buy
property and build a small cob home. I applaud your building a straw bale
home. I have seen some videos on them. I was concerned about the strength
of the structure and problems with water, bugs, and rodents. Of course,
that has a lot to do with my ignorance of how straw bale construction deals
with these issues. I am curious how you decided to try this construction
method and your overall experience from it. Thanx.
We wanted an energy efficient home. We were tired of $250+ electric bills
in the Austin summers. Straw bales are highly insulative, and several
people in Arizona told us that they averaged less than $50/mo in their
straw bale homes. We attended a couple of workshops where we assisted in
building homes. So this looked like something that we could do ourselves.
It was hard work, but went very well. It was 15-20 degrees cooler in the
house midday, b4 electricity was even hooked up.
May I ask where you found useful workshops, That sounds like an important
first step for me. I think a hands on experience is what I need. Don
The problem with a 10 ft wide is that it requires an “oversized” permit to
transport on the road. Although as he mentioned in the video, I don’t think
they plan on moving it.
I’m so disappointed that Ikea stopped carrying that version of the folding
table. The new ones stick out from the wall quite a big further.
ur voice is annoyin how old are you. have you even hit puberty ,…
Thanks for sharing this project. I subscribed to your newsletter and am
always intrigued by the sheer amount of information you provide about the
many ways people interpret tiny house living. Best to you and continue the
good work. &)
You narrow mindedness is pathetic. If you don’t like it, don’t listen.
There’s no need to be that rude. You only do so because you can type it.
You wouldn’t say that to his face.
I’d love to do this with a caravan base, but surely it’s too heavy for the
tyres, considering how extremely light-weight everything that goes into
caravans has to be. Every time I see a tiny house travelling I cringe,
thinking of the weight (after I ooh and ahh at the cuteness).
Thanks for passing this along,…………Great Vid
I think his voice is great. It has something enthusiastic and innocent
about it. Listening to him narrate these vids is something that has got me
excited about the tiny home and small spaces movement.
Hello Loubj33. What if you went to a salvage yard and purchased the chassis
of a 20+ foot truck? You could make sure the bearings and tires were in
good working order. Then you could build virtually ANYTHING on a frame that
was made to deal with great tonnage.
They did where I live. There were some people who lost there double-wide
but, they still had the land. They tried to put a tiny camper on there and,
were told they could live there like that. Guess what they moved it back
after they were gone. To me unless your hurting someone else I don’t think
anyone should be able to tell you what to do on your property. That’s the
way I’ll live too. My Dad lives on my property in his camper and, he can
live there as longs he likes Gov or not! God bless you.
My wife and I are wondering if we can fit us and our 1 kids in one of these
we have our minde made up on hating one when we get older and kids get
older but what do you think of a family of 4
This video is horrible.
I’ve seen several videos on 4 person families, It depends on how close you
are as a family cause everything is fairly tight, but if you’re planning on
a tiny house that isn’t moving all over you can always expand if you need
to. on wheels things would have have to stay rather small so they stay
legal on the road. You can look up all sorts of floor plans online and most
tiny homes have loft bedrooms, I think the vertical limit is around 13 feet
for trailers to be on the roads.
This is inspiring!
this is a very nice project but your voice…. its the most irritating one
ever…
