Interior video coming soon!

[iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

I feel so sad for our young people. Back in the day, people never thought of building tiny homes because regular-sized houses were affordable even with a single income.

BIG Mistake here, never use "Particle Board" on any Trailer project when it comes to the floor! Particle Board is like a sponge, it will swell up just from the moisture in the air, since you didn't even paint it with oil base primer paint with Mildew block. Mold will form from the bottom of that trailer. Food for RUST; use rust converter spray paint.... Overall you did a good

Love all the work you put in and how you explained it for others!

Only thing: the particle board and original boards on the bottom do worry me for long term use. Consider each year having mold or wood rot tests done to the underneath to ensure you don’t fall out especially if you ever live in Florida, Washington, near the beach.

Hey! As a tiny home builders enthusiast, I find this video to be a great pleasure. I was reminiscing on the days. My Nana and Papa will take me to their tiny home. Such child filled memories.

Living proof that you should never judge a channel by its subscribers. Excellent video, man! Can’t wait to see more!

Update 10/19/22

I just finished the tiny home interior today, I'm shooting the special grand finale tomorrow, and will start editing the second video! I hope to have it out the first week of November. Sorry about the delay, turns out building a home is far more complicated than originally anticipated, even if it is 1/20 the scale of a normal one.

fantastic video Everybody wants to be financially independent and live a better life. With savvy investing, an inexpensive lifestyle, and diligent budgeting, this is not difficult to do. I'm glad I realised early on that achieving financial freedom requires hard work.

I want to build a tiny house in the future too, it was so nice to see someone with no experience build it all by themselves!

[mr_crxwley]

Amazing, as a carpenter myself whose built houses, I’d have suggested extra support around the doorway and windows, also adding a header, king studs and trimmers

[misaandcoart]

This is super impressive. Most people either hire professionals or are professionals themselves. The fact you made a full house that is roadworthy from scratch with little pre-existing skill in building is absolutely amazing. This is far more impressive than any other tiny home I've seen. You should be absolutely thrilled with the outcome. It's amazing! I cannot wait to see the interior completed. I'm intrigued though, will you be adding a bathroom?

SO GREAT TO KNOW THERES A YOUNG MAN LIKE THIS STILL AROUND! TOTAL PROPS TO HIS PARENTS AND TO HIM! ❤️

Great build for someone with zero experience and it came to life with the coats of paint and sidings. I do have to say though if in the future you build another I would recommend taking the existing boards that came with the trailer and even replacing them with pressure treated ones or sealing the preexisting ones and never use Particle Board for anything thatll be exposed to elements. Im sure others have mentioned it but its gonna fall apart. That being said I would recommend maybe taking it somewhere and seeing if you can at least get the bottom of the trailer resprayed with a line X material or even a POR15 to help seal it a little. Overall your video was great and your attitude throughout this whole thing was good. Hopefully I can start my build sometime soon and can travel just like you are. Be safe!

I'm currently building a tiny home in the Philippines, big tip for anyone looking to do this.

Do lots of research and be prepared to make mistakes!

❤❤❤❤ love the effects and effort of this young man!! House is tiny, but big on gorgeous! Love his explanations, and committed attitude to finishing the project on a tight budget!!! Amazing work, terrific!!!!

[zachfinemusic]

This guy is so impressive. If I was a boss at a firm and he came in for an interview and showed me this video, I’d hire him on the spot. It shows impeccable work ethic, grit, tenacity, creativity and more.

That is such a good looking tiny home! I'm in Lander, WY and want to build a tiny home so my elderly mother can move in with us without losing her independence. Your video was super inspiring because I'd really like to build it myself but know absolutely nothing about construction. Great work!

I purchased my first place two years ago, (late bloomer 🙄), a 500 sg ft mobile home. I renovated the inside myself, knocked down a wall, pulled up carpeting, painted... the whole shabang - I now have a home I can be proud of. I consider it my tiny home - I call it "My lil' slice"

Be proud of what you've done! It's beautiful!

[JamPunchStorytelling]

This is one my favourite youtube videos ever 😊

[ReginaDillard]

There's something endearing about a young man who looks like his momma. I'm sure she's proud of you. Can't wait to see the inside when it's done. Great job!
