PLEASE WATCH IN high QUALITY!
11/17/08: The tiny house movement is getting HUGE as Americans shrink their budgets and look for affordable alternatives to their Stuff nation.
Peter King has been building tiny houses for years and hopes to teach others the basics of simple living.

Sweet!
I have seen a lot nicer tiny houses but those are alright.
“A poetry shack” – I love that he made that suggestion.
That guy was awesome! I need a shack in VT!
Awesome. I love that guy and I love those houses!
You spelled harassing wrong, dork. Oh wait, you meant the guy in the vid?
My bad…
Peter King rocks! I posted this on my facebook page and it is being passed
around like crazy amongst friends, already from here in North Carolina to
Fiji! This is the most complete explanation of a movement that is growing.
Hurray for Peter, and thanks, Burlington College!
Thanks for passing this along. Who knew the tiny house movement was so BIG!
😉
In many small towns, you are allowed to build a structure 100 ft or smaller
without building permits. It varies town to town. Thanks for asking!
I wonder what his carbon footprint is
So, how can we get in touch with Peter….he isn’t coming up with a phone
number in Vermont …..If anyone has a contact, please let us know, as he
wants to build houses! Thanks from the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont
Kudos, my family is hoping to approach self sustainability – we’ve shrunk
from 4000 to a 800 sq ft home by choice- 200 sq ft each. We don’t “own” 2
new cars, just 1 that’s used when necessary. Our elec. usage has been cut
down by the use of mini-flours & our heating bill is supplemented by solar
& wood. A night out consists of a family walk, perhaps visits to our
neighbours. We miss nothing of our consumerist lifestyle.
what’s a mini flour?
What’s the scoop on cooking facilities?
google for Bakersfield, VT
It would be great to build a tiny house, but I would still have to get a
loan for land.
I live in a tiny house. I live in Japan
“I’d rather be very poor and have lots of free time in a beautiful place
than have all kinds of money and no free time”- I could not agree more!
Materialism does not breed happiness, in my opinion.
i second that my good friend
– 7
About as big as Vermont Long Trail shelters, and Johnson is a trail town
even
i have a lot of plywood in my backyard. This guy would probably pop wood if
he saw it.
OMG!!this is awesome!! I am so familiar with tiny houses because I live in
Japan. Oh I wish I can have a tiny house, Eva can I build it in your
backyard??lol
YES YES! I would love to have you and your tiny house in my backyard and
you can use the kitchen and bathroom anytime you like! 😉
Year of the ox, right? Now that hubby and I have gone spiritually interior,
having time and space to do our clearing work is priority. Plus the
internet 🙂
Hmm – no one else picked up on the contradiction? He starts touting tiny
houses as an alternative to regular homes, and then says that they are best
built in the backyard of a regular home. I think someone is too addicted to
their flush toilet and roomy living space to live “tiny” all the time. And,
next to a pond or with a view? That alone will saddle you with a big
mortgage AND a big property tax bill. Reality check folks!
You are brilliant and speak the truth about Americans needing so much and
wasting their lives away paying for everything and not really living and
experiencing life.
There are so many other ways to “live” if one is willing to get out of the
rut. TINY is AWESOME!
people do NOT poop. I believe you are mistaken..
wish i could come, but i live in oregon! yeah, peter does seem pretty cool.
i have a 10 by 12 structure in my yard that i’d like to refurbish into
something livable. either that or maybe i’ll build something else. i very
much like what peter says about “a little bedroom that detached from the
main house and snuck out into the yard.” that’s pretty much exactly what
i’m looking to do.
mini flourescent lamps, perhaps?
I like his philosophy.
LOVE IT!! Would love to know more.
LOVE IT!! Would love to know more.
How the Heck would my 8dogs&5 cats fit in there??
yes for weirdos
First, I don’t think he means his regular home. If someone has room they
could rent a piece of their land for someone’s tiny house. That would help
the big homeowner meet expenses and help the tiny house owner find a place
to live. Good idea. Second, rural land beyond commuting distance is a lot
cheaper than urban land but, yes, water and view will add to the price.
That seems to be the case. I forgot to come back to this thread, but
somebody at home depot told me the same thing. Turns out I even have a
couple. Have been using them allow people to navigate at night without it
being bright.
that’s wonderful. I am going to be occupying a 2x2x6 enclosure in the
future.
owwt der in dem mountains.
I want this guy to build my house for me. I’ll come and pick him up from
Vermont and we will build a tiny house! But REALLY what is this guys
number?!?! I want to get a hold of him!!!
You can reach Peter at: 802-933-6103
I’ve known this guy for years. Very laid back. Great family man. And ftr,
he’s well over 6 feet tall.
It’s called a shed. Already invented.
That guy is awesome, and sums up people in VT… Pretty smart, but weird.
Mental note: Visit this guy the next time i head north I could really use
one of these though. My bedroom and data storage in the loft, my
workstation and computer shit on the lower floor. And im more than
comfortable in small spaces like that.
What the fuck, I can’t believe i just wasted 5 minutes of my life watching
that!
LOL!
love it
good to know Im 6’6″ and was skeptical of how comfortable that would be for
me if it was only 10 feet tall with a loft. Maybe I wont have to exclude
the house 😛
Thanks Peter for all the info. Great video. Your philosophy is right on!
Mortgages are ways of enslaving people. I would love to have one of these
in my backyard. I’m really interested in anything else you come up with.
I’m really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much! dnt read
this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the
love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post
ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn
this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done
press f6 nd ur crush’s name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is
so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks~enjoy
Where does he poop?
We call those hunting blinds here in Michigan
Do you realize that trolls are more respected than chain letter purveyors?
At least they banter intelligently and have a goal in mind.
HAHAHA!!!! XD
Thank you for sharing your insights and a nother lifestile
Great Vid. I want one here in Maine!
my husband and i just built a little cabin…will be moving in soon! got
rid of stuff and will enjoy gardening and peace of mind!!!
We are definetly a different culture in Vermont, don’t know about weird
though.
you gonna die soon? 🙁
Notice that everyone who owns a tiny house is childless? I like the
concept, but let’s get real.
I love this. I love this. I love this.
Sounds like peter wants to make some money and get the hell out of there.
Cool concept but his spurts about people who are like to buy nice things is
sorta Marxist. What’s great about America is that we can live a lavish
lifestyle (compared to other countries) for a more affordable price.
all vermont cities are small and in the middle of nowhere? I’m writing a
book and the character leaves in vermont….how is it like?
The way I see it, the more crowded people are.. the crazier they go. For
ex: inner city violence compared to “suburban violence”? Idk, just my
thought. But if I could have as big of a backyard… and private property..
fine by me.
— GOD bless you SIR ,.,.,. You are very smart man , THAT is how smart
people think , I agree with you 100% ,.,, I think that 10×10 house is tiny
,.,, but You think well , WHY would I buy a House for 250.000$ and pay it
for 30 years and always be in fear if something happens to me I will loose
a house . I hate mortgages , loans , and DEBT …
Totally awesome!! I just bought 5 acres and I intend to build myself and my
daughter a ‘tiny’ house there! So exciting to see I will have some stuff to
go by!!SO GREAT thanks!
Awesome job ! Great story!
that’s very smart and efficient
I am helping this guy do one of these.
Love It
i love vermont cuz were always #1
the best tiny house video, i want one, makes you wanna drink beer an
additional plus because you have time and can afford it!!! yeehaa!!!
SUPER!!!
One of these would make a great get away in the mtns
“If your tiny house burns down, so what, build a new one!” Hahaha, yeah
right, more like “If your tiny house catches on fire, YOU’RE DEAD!”
lol im training to become a carpenter now i really wanna build on of these
houses
Where did Peter King say that you could build a house this size for less
than $2,500? I would love to do that! I think that I would mix what Peter
King did and put it on a trailer like Jay Shafer did, only for the price of
Peter Kings home.
How is that coming along? Also, is it costing very much? I would love to
build a home like this but I don’t know where to start. :/ If you could
give any tips, that would be much appreciated ^-^
Thanks so much, I will get look those double-axle used trailers right away.
I am so excited about building a house like these! Thanks again =D
Interesting. I thought it was pretty stupid to go into such debt for a
house so I opted for a condo. I still have a mortgage but I’m working hard
to get it paid off this year. I basically live in my master bedroom. I use
the living room as a place to hang my hat while I’m on my way to my master
bedroom. I use my second bedroom for storage since I’m a prepper and keep
about 8 months of food and other gear back there. A shed would do just as
well. I think I could do fine with a tiny house.
I think some of these tiny house builders should make a detailed “kit” or
book on what to buy, the non-blue print reader set of blue prints, and
instructions on how to build their own tiny homes and i am sure that type
of publication can be a lucrative venture.

Tumbleweed Homes gets around the house codes by putting their houses on
trailers. They’re classified as mobile homes & fall under different codes.
If you want to have a house on a foundation, go to your building official &
find out what residential code they use & tell him or her that you want to
build the tiniest house that’s allowed. They’ll give you some general
information to get you going & probably give you the name of a designer or
contractor who’s built some tiny homes in the area.
The I R C is the most common code for houses in the USA. It says you need
at least 1 room w/ 120 S.F. min. You also need a toilet, a lav & a tub or a
shower & a kitchen w/ a sink. The 120 S.F. rm. can hold the kitchen, your
bed & the lav. The toilet & shower will need 7′ x 2.5′ extra. Forget the
loft, stairs that meet code will take as much space as a bed. A legal house
will be about 160 S.F. exterior, or 8′ x 20′, 10′ x 16′ or 12′ x 14′. And
you need water, sewer & electric.
i wish people would smarten up and realize that this IS something we should
strive for. peters homes are a bit extreme. a home still needs to be built
to standard, insulation, indoor plumbing, electricity, etc, but to as small
as scale as possible and practical. I would love to see a community built
specifically for affordable small homes only. not everybody has children,
and that’s a great market to tap into.
it’s like a wooden tent…… i love it
Bravo!- Reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the
importance of material possessions. (TD)
love it man. i live morgage free it is great keep up the good work.
actually if something does go bad, it would be easier to defend your condo,
assuming it has one entrance, than a little wood shack
johnmonk66 You’re right about that. In that situation I’d probably store
some of my supplies off site. Of course I do that anyway. I keep a lot of
shelf stable food, clothes, shoes, a couple warm coats, a tent, hiking
gear, blankets, an extra bicycle, unlabeled keys, and a number of other
things in a storage locker. I also keep backup records like birth cert, and
electronic records in my safe deposit box. If my condo burned it would be
much easier for me to restart my life than my neighbors
now thats what life is all about!!!!!! Good job!!
I thought I show this video to my students to teach them about small living
in VT and how good it can be. But then there is a comment about drinking
beer at the end. So there gos that idea. Too bad. Can’t show beer drinking
promoting material at a public school without getting in trouble.
pooping and drinking water? that’s not necessary!
THIS GUY SHOULD PLAY IN A FOLK METAL BANd
I live in vermont and I tell you I wol go completely batshit in that house
in the winter!
Why are people listening to people like this. I love America. I love our
houses. Isn’t that the Unabomber. A 10 x 10 house is a tent. Why are people
listening to these idiots. Nice Castro hat commie. Dont give up the
American dream. Do not let these idiots influence our great country. It’s
Tea Time. Fly our Tea Party Flag! itsteatime dot o r g I had a tiny house
than I put a 1500 square foot addition on it then it was perfect!
@jshann No one from vermont has visited our site yet. It is the only state
that hasn’t will you be the first? itsteatime dot o r g
GREAT video- that guy’s a character too! Love it. -Deek Host of “Tiny
Yellow House” Author of “Humble Homes, Simple Shacks, Cozy Cottages…”
That’s what i should dooooo! hahahhaa! i should build one!!
fuck tiny houses, I’m building a log cabin
I want the screened in porch for my house. Who needs a bed or a bathroom,
thats what the outhouse is for. Also forget groceries, I go kill an animal
and cook it on the fire pit with firewood that I chopped down.
your whats wrong with america, the me me me stuff crowd
@tcb0061 Excuse me? I do not understand your question? If you are refering
to my disdain for some 60’s reject communist hippie trying to convince me
that living in a 10×10 crate is the secret to happiness and that the
American dream is the path to dispair, is me me stuff than you are wrong.
It is not called me me stuff it is called Liberty. . If he prefers living
in his little box more power to him, the problem is his ilk try to force it
on us.
@UbeefHooked the outdoor shitter or in his pants
Omg, I would love to learn to build one!
@aviomaster I reckon it would be cool if these houses were modular. That
way, you build your first one and as you save more and more money, you just
keep adding ‘tiny rooms’ on to one another…
If you like this kind of stuff(like I do), watch some of Jay Shaffer’s
videos. He builds tiny houses, but he also gives advice on how to build
them with some creature comforts (indoor toilet, shower, sinks, ect.) My
goal in life is to answer to no one: Have a well for my water, a composting
toilet for my waste, a garden for my food, wind and solar for my energy,
and bio-diesel for my fuel. We need more people like this man.
@PolluteLessDotCom Just cut it short, show it up to that point.
People(especially kids) need to realize that there are benefits to not
having a McManision and constantly competing with you neighbors.
@StuckinVermont – Thank you for the number!
Smart!
I agree with what he said I would rather be living poor and happy instead
of rich and miserable. We have it all wrong bigger is not better. Use less
and by less crap we need to change ourselves, the less you have the less
you expect, we have too much stuff for one person to have all to
themselves. Ride a bike instead of a car or by a cheap reliable car or
scooter start using less and less, in the end you won’t be tied down to all
your glorious nothing. Open your minds to the world around you.
300 sq foot would be a luxury for me. Living free is are its all about.
@imanerd36 Exactly!!
I LOVE everything this guy says!! He is sooooo right on! – thank you sir!!!
@UbeefHooked ever heard of an outhouse? or a tree?
“Entertain me! Faster dammit! And put it on my card!” haha I love this man.
Love this idea! But has anyone experimented with larger sizes? If you could
get the sq footage up to 1500-2000, then you would have something.
this guy name is jack and his nunber is 941-238-4567
Wow. This somehow reminds me of Little House in the Prairie. Weren’t the
old American log cabins for bachelors around this size?
this brotha has a brillianT philosophy~! count me in bro! heLP!
I agree with him, but he uses too much new wood instead of recycled
material. I prefer earthships.
@scoff1972 I think that might defeat the purpose of building a tiny house
in the first place, which is freedom from conventional things such as
mortgages, etc. Probably the biggest you could get and still retain the
“tiny house” vibe would be 300 square feet. At least in my opinion.
This is like a trailer park with extra suck. You can live well within your
means without emulating Daniel Boone.
@barisax25 You could also be sane and save your money and only buy a normal
house that’s well within your means to afford. If the only two options are
massive debts or living like a damn hobbit then you’re doing something
wrong.
@scoff1972 How would you measure your eco-penis?
So that I’m not completely negative, the guy does seems to have a good
attitude and the tiny house does look fun to build.
Good for him!! :o)
i have a crush on peter king.
im all for the tiny house…screw the $200,000 house with 30 years of
payments and 90 hours a week to pay for it all….. simple is better..
Bliss…But you still need to buy a patch of land in a beautiful place.
I love tiny houses, but I couldn’t do without normal water, sewer, and
electric. Small spaces are great, but rustic living holds little appeal for
me.

this guy seems really happy but at the same time this is only pracitcal if
you live by yourself. also how would you stay clean?? i need clean running
water to brush my teeth at least.
I live in a tiny house, only difference is mine is on wheels (RV). The
phylosophy is the same though, keep it simple, only what you need. I think
everyone should simplify and minimize!
@nguyentousant Well you could also mind your own business and not try to
tell me what it is that I can or can’t do. How about that?
Great vid/work Eva! Check out my “Tiny Yellow House” videos on youtube-
same field/idea….
nice guy
btw hes not an ugly guy att all picture him without the beard… he aint
ugly . jsut wanted to bring it up lol
how can i get in contact with peter king? I would love to learn how to
build these. thanks!
He’s cool
Anything that employs ingenuity and creativity without further waste should
be celebrated. Emulated would be even better, but we can’t expect miracles
from the terminally consumptive masses. The fine line between insanity and
brilliance is only defined by the success of the results. These results
look good to me, keep building them and they will come. Mark Lorenzana
“I’d rather be poor with a lot of free time, than to be rich and no free
time.”
my dads building me a 10 by 16 house and im going to have a video of it
after its built but its even more green its going to have a butterfly roof
looks like this: v sorta and it collects water it will also have solar
panels im going to move when im 14 get sheep chickens and a garden im going
to be self sustaining (whatever that means)
Agreed, why pay 250k for a 1000sf box to keep the rain off your head. when
you think about what a house is and whats it takes to build one why should
you have to enslave yourself for half your life to pay for it.
@imanerd36 what is his youtube channel?
@ThePackers123 lol you’re gonna have a stoke at 50 you’re so filled withh
hate it only affects you though . Just rewards my idiot friend just rewards.
I wanna build my own version of the tiny house. Make a solid foundation
with basement the same size as the house sans roof. Build it wood frame but
solid on the outside with cinder blocks all the way around with a small
attached economy car sized garage with car port as an entrance to it, full
plumbing with the wall mounted small water heater in the basement that
heats the water AS you use it and full electricity. The energy bills would
STILL be quite affordable.
@BadMuffler I’m not sure if he actually has a channel, but you can find
most of his stuff by search ” Tumbleweed Tiny House” on YouTube or Google.
I seen little houses like that in Star, Alberta.ca
OK, OK, OK, OK, LISTEN TO THIS MAN FROM 01:03 to 01:13. ……. Do yourself
a favor and listen to his words of wisdom in those 10 seconds! …… If
everyone could figure out what those 10 seconds represent then we would be
much happier. Kudos to you sir, you speak more truth and wisdom in 10
seconds than most do in a lifetime.
Love it! My husband and I are building a solar micro home on a trailer. The
more space you have the more junk you think you need to fill it. When you
get down to what you really use every day it can all fit in a small space.
It’s better than being indebted to a huge house that you are always at work
to try to someday own.
I’ve gotta talk to this guy. People can say what they want, but if it’s a
“hippie” thing to live within your means then I guess I strive to be a
total “hippie”.
@nuMbERsRuNN3R I’d actually love to live somewhere like that…
?????
I love the idea of tiny homes but for most they’re not the best example of
living cheaply. For the price, I could build a 5 bedroom, two floor home
made out of earth bags or make something equivalent with cob. Granted they
have a tiny footprint but I’d rather have a bigger house that I can build
for less.
It could be the future, I sometimes wonder why just about everybody spends
at least an hour commuting every day, has a batch of credit cards and store
cards, spends hours doing their lawns and never get to enjoy it. Stuff is
just stuff, and as long we mortgage our asses off the banks have us by the
balls. Having said all that I prefer my 3500 sq ft . 🙂
@Livinggreen100 You could be right. I use to live in the Netherlands which
is very overpopulated and its common for even the well off to live in
pretty small homes. I’ve spent a year now living in the suburbs of New
England and it sucks. I have all the space I want and it’s quiet but the
area almost seems like it was engineered to have a complete lack of social
cohesion and apart from nature there is nothing to do but shop. Maybe i
picked the wrong “town” . Maybe next time something like this.
omg sniff much crack!!!
Why don’t they have how to Plumming and how to details on what really is
needed in building a home. Most can undrestand framing but it the toilet
and septic
There are some people you should just listen to, this guy is like a poet. I
just realised I am listening to poetry. We have to empower ourselves beonde
THE SYSTEM boom and bust with the guy at the bottom taking all the crap.
Check out Lamar Alexandra
I would build a house but I have a chronic bulging disk. I want a place of
my own like this. Will trade baby sitting or caregiving.
Great segment.
I like this idea so much I was going to get one for my son to live in (he
is 19) he will not go for it. he wants us to buy him a house which is not
ever going to happen he would rather us keep raising his rent then move in
to an apparment or a tiny house. I am almost morgage free and shows like
this has made me realize all I need is the house I have, not a bigger one.
as I watch shows like this my 1500sq really looks big to me.
AWESOME !!!!
actually, there ARE a few tiny house towns in older cities in the
U.S……Cabbage Town in GA. is one! u can here the neighbors have sex lol
@HauntedBeetlejuice oops! i meant to say ‘hear’……. im not in GA these
days, sorry….Cabbage Town is in the city limits of Atlanta, named so
because the past residents cooked so much cabbage, immigrants from ireland
i think…..not as small as the ‘tiny houses’, but VERY small and close
together. Now, it’s a ‘quaint’ and expensive place to live !
the more i watch the more i considerete
These are very cute, but I would have to have water in and out. Enjoy buddy!
@bryanjones007 Someones mad
This looks much better than the dog house option
🙂
I like this guy’s attitude! I would love to dump all my ‘stuff’ and live
free in my little tiny house!
You still have to be rich to build a tiny house! Some of these people are
spending $10,000 to build one! Good for you for being able to afford
$10,000 and a piece of land to put it on. You are so fortunate.
Gives me warm and fuzzy thoughts of Little House on the Prairie. Urban
sprawl has wasted too much arable land. I would love to see a neighborhood
of tiny homes. They should start in Detroit with some of those abandoned
neighborhoods. Demolish and start over with tiny houses instead of Mc
mansions.
@gorillaMaticIAP my brother is crippled, and he is almost 30 and hates
depending on family and living with others. we are gonna build him one that
he will own because he might not ever be able to work and this these things
have like… no bills attached to them except maby propane. This ciould be
the answer to some of the homeless issues in the world
What would you give up to have no mortgage and leave completely free? Could
you live in a 100sqft, 196sqft, or even a 400sqft house? What about for
$2000 or less? Does 30 years at 4%+ interest still sound appetizing?
http://youtu.be/5VV2MBo-ZMM
This is just the inspiration I need to build my own. Given that I wish to
be self sustaining in the future, NZD200,000 should be able to buy a 3 acre
property where I want to live and a ‘large’ small house. I don’t want to be
enslaved by money, a boring job or material possessions. Tiny house is the
way to escape the monetary debt system.
@drunknmonky77 We see what you are saying, but a plot of land and $10,000
is A LOT cheaper than a normal sized home. In addition, the high price for
a big home is not just the sticker, it is also, the maintenance and
utilities that come along with it.
This guy’s got it way over Jay Shafer (tumbleweed man). He’s really into
building these things!
as long as you’re ok with shitting in your yard
OVERPOPULATION is the resason for this
OVERPOPULATION is the resason for this
Thumbs up for tiny houses and not using more than you need!
I stayed at Peter Kings property in Bakersfield VT for a summer in 95. It
was great. He had a half dozen or so tiny houses and the rent…… Helping
keep the garden up, splitting wood for the winter etc. I will say though
that at the time I had nothing but a duffel bag and a crappy car to my
name. And I enjoyed it but you have to be willing to have next to nothing.
And most people today couldn’t hack it for more than a few weeks.
@bwsava where do you think people used to shit before toilets?
We need more Peter Kings in our country. He is an amazing individual.
I think he does a better job than tumbleweed house people. I seems they are
into tiny houses just to get rich…there is nothing wrong with that..but I
think Mr. King got it right and he REALLY wants to teach everyone how to
build one…AT REASONABLE PRICES…
i wonder if that guy would let me bake those out
Wow…way cool concept there. Have you ever thought of incorporating Cobb
material into your tiny home lifestyle? Thanks for sharing.
Very cool green mountain boys all the way!
shitting was invented at the same time as toilets
obvious troll is obvious. Get the funk outta here
Love the idea and the cost saving that goes with it
In ’05 Erik Estrada, standing amidst the grandeur that was “California
Pines,” offered $1,000-per-acre lots (as appraised by local govt.) for
National Recreational Properties Inc. w/his proclamation: “This is truly an
affordable development with prices starting at these incredible prices…”
(N.R. Properties Inc. prices started at $19,900 per lot that measured up to
an acre. With generous financing a lot was $46,104.58 by the last monthly
payment. There was a 1-time documentation fee of $995).
watching these vids makes me feel all comfy and cozy. thank you
gosh this is amazing brings me back to my roots and what it was like to be
free thnx for posting
All around good thinking Thanks for sharing
Peter’s so cool…I really want a tiny house.
Hi, I am about to build a tiny house in upstate ny. I did order a partial
galvinized roof and sides. I like the look and moderness of it. The
interior will have a loft. Its 10X12 and the roof is 10ft at the top. Not
into permits or anything that connects me to people that want my money. I’m
thinking about insulation. do you have any ideas? insulation on steal?
hmmm….anyways, i kinda need a lot of info…thx for your video…marianna
This guy has the right idea. I like Tiny houses but I’d need plumbing. I’ve
used an outhouse before, I like not having to go outside in winter to use
one. Scaling back on stuff is the way to go though. I’ve been carless for 6
months, public transportation and a bike work fine. I don’t miss the stress
of commuting and having to gas up every week.
My parents own an acre in Califonia Pines that they are more than willing
to let me use, so I though “oh great opportunity to build”. From the little
that I have read, I hear that there are far too many restrictions there to
build. I could be wrong, but I was discouraged by the little bit that I did
read =(
I’m just curious. The home it’s self if more than affordable so that you
don’t have to spend all your time working to own it, but how about the
land? Is the land affordable? How do you go about aquiring land like this
to where you don’t spend a lot of time working to pay off the land? My
husband and I are VERY interested in finding land to build a self
sustainable home, but the problem seems to be finding affordable land near
necessities such as hospitals.
hows it work? I mean, where do you put the house on? does it come with
land? how much to get people to build it for you, pay them that is.

I’m a kitchen and bath designer I recently submitted an idea for a small
house I designed for myself to the local county building department. 565 sq
ft, just the space I need [not want], off grid, 1 br, my ofc, living dining
area, kit, bath, sunroom, Rvalues exceeding code and it was shot down. Too
small, the insurance companies would hate it, no direct connections to the
grid and/or use of their ‘product’ and the taxes would be rated for a
garage not a house.
There was a gentleman who submitted plans for a large house with a detached
garage that had a kitchenette and bathroom in it. He got permission to
build and started with the garage then never built the large house. One way
to get around some of the codes. Food for thought.
I live in a 350 sq ft apartment and I can say with complete honesty that it
is hell!
Wow, think I got too much stuff but it’s a great idea!
Mahalo! for the video this motivated me to build my tiny house. Even though
I never did get the chance to meet Peter I built mine in Puna Hawaii.
Aloha! “Imagine living in the tropics with a Tiny House! YeeeHa!” 😀

i would like to build a tiny house. and the upstairs would be nothing but
bed and i would roll about with my husband who wants to play with my hair
and fold me well and whispering nice stuff. oh the bed box! i’d have built
a little wall on one side, about a foot high, just so i had a nice little
wall, nothing to obscure the view k? and i’d have a super chunky bedroll
yo!
i need a tiny house and a husband. ok so get in touch. not a lot to ask.
maybe not a husband. maybe just an interesting friend with a willy i like
so much. we don’t have to live together all the time. i’ve lived alone for
a very long time and i would miss it. i like being visited. i’d prefer be
visited in a tiny house. good luck to my husband and tiny house. and yes i
think i want a tiny house you can move about. so like a van with a tiny
house in it etc etc i wanna drive my husband beep beep
I am very interested in your feedback. Can you help me figure out some
things for my build?
