17 Year Old Builds Tiny House For Only £6,000!

The tiny house movement in England is starting to really gain momentum, as house prices drive people towards alternative living. Tom is a pioneer in the movement, being one of the first in the country to build a tiny home.

This tiny house was really fun to tour. It reminds me very much of some of the early home tours from New Zealand and Australia when the movement was getting started. This is a grass roots movement which is ready to explode in the UK and I'm excited to see where it leads. I hope you enjoy the full tour of this wonderful home built by an inspiring young man!

We are back! So happy to be kick starting our 2020 tour series with this incredible home, built on a budget by an inspiring young man in England. It's so exciting to now be able to share some homes from Europe with you all. Tom's story is really inspiring. Now at 20 years old, he has set himself up for a great start to life! I hope you enjoy this tour of his wonderful home. It's great to be back! With love, Bryce & Rasa

The most impressive part about this is how he built a system on the house that collects rainwater, filters it, and uses it for the showers and stuffs. That's awesome

I’m 16 and proud when I put an ikea chair together so this is pretty amazing

What a lad. An old spirit in a young body. A person who knows how to work with his hands, and build things for himself. I wish him nothing but the best.

I’m 54 and I’m thrilled I made my bed today.

This young man is impressive!

These comments suck, where’s all the love. This guy accomplished something incredible! Good job, you literally own a house at the age of 20 👏🏽👏🏽

When you spend your blood, sweat and tears on something, that's a something you should feel proud of.

Why is everyone putting the man down. He was 17 when he started this. Bet the majority of you couldn't build or finish shit even with instructions and help.

[timellins]

if only the world would have more people like this young man. Happy, humble, energetic and with an incredible mindset ready for the future that the world need. Great job indeed!

This kid who built his own tiny home from scratch is brilliant!

[Jacob-fsbp]

Why is everyone being so negative. Who cares if its his grandparents land? At the end of the day he built it on his own! The jealously of some individuals is ridiculous!

[shooterr]

This guy has earned my respect. It looks amazing, it's functional, not to mention all the skills he learned. He's going to go far.

I don t think Tom may yet realize how absolutely awesome his paid for home is! He is living what most just dream about! Wisdom far beyond his years! Very Well Done, Tom! Thankyou Bryce for bringing this joyful inspiration to millions!

Tom is intelligent and energetic. He was light years ahead of me when I was 17. Building or even owning my own home at that age just wasnt on my mind. I really have to congratulate him on making himself such a fine looking tiny house. It's nice, I like it. Thanks Bryce for another great video. I wish you and Rasa the best. Take care my friend. ;)

TOM: "YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TILL YOU LIVE IN IT"
He is wise beyound his years. A lesson for anyone who builds a tiny, shed, tent, yurt, van or anything really.
Congrats Tom, well done!!!

This channel has saved my life. Awhile back I was evicted from my apartment and I was drowning in bills. I was working but wasn’t making enough to pay rent. I had two weeks and I used those two weeks to study how to use my car as a living space. I had a Chevy G series van and I used this channel as a lot of reference for the most basic things I would need. then as I started to save money I would upgrade the interior and by things to really make it feel like home. Almost a year later and now I have a completely furnished living spaces all thanks to you. Thank you Living Big

This is incredible, I can't believe anyone would give this a thumbs down. This young man has got a lot of skill and talent. Recycling materials and producing something to be proud of. I'm so impressed.

Beyond amazing! My adult children could never have pulled this off. For those who comment about the number of tiny houses that are parked on family land, I would remind you of the many young adults that still live with their parents. And the long tradition of building a house on your family farm. This is no worse, probably better. There is nothing wrong with relying on family and friends to get through life!

[perthsaint]

Love all the people slagging him off, this guy's skills will take him far, he's put some serious work and as a first project this is awesome, would happily have a house built by him.

[clearskies]

He is basically camping in his parent's back garden
