Peter has dialed in completely on his audience when he says that the house tour is boring and the power management is interesting.

i liked both
He was being sarcastic.

Sick setup, Peter! I'm honored to make an appearance on your TV. We should fly together sometime. 🤘
That would be an awesome video, you and Peter flying together!
I was watching that video and thinking is that Tucker Gott? And it was.
:O
Whoa, that's weird! I was just watching one of your videos before this one and had just discovered your channel!
can you sill not see the ground?
I like that this guy is actually a human, most tiny house ppl have all this crazy minimalist stuff and all these self sufficient things they’re obsessed with but this guy actually benefits from his house
I framed houses for a few years and think this is amazing work, im concerned about the bracing of the above floor but i trust you built it well, looks amazing man!!!
there's little diagonals in the corners. Might've been in the previous video. I've never worked with galvanized, but i don't think it takes those t straps like wood frames take. plus it seems to have ridged sheeting, but im not familitar with that product.
@@BattleGn0me tbh i didnt look to hard when i commented this but thanks i see what you mean! i was just concerned for his safety at the time but hes very intelligent and im sure he built it strong😁
@@ChrisW777 plus, unlike Celotex using ring shank, the sheeting was being sheet metal screwed on. I'm only replying because I need to rehab a farmhouse in the same state and I'm thinking of maybe using the same system for an update to get it up to code. But to your point, if he can put a foam/electrica airplane in the air, he's probably got the mini house thing "nailed" down--safety wise.😄 Btw, if Imnot mistaken, I think he had all teh wall members pre-fabbed by a mini-hoise custom kit company of some sort.
@@ChrisW777 Also, I framed houses back in the early '90's so my understanding of construction materials and codes are a bit dated, so I'm not trying to be snarky or anything, it was just something I happen to notice
@@BattleGn0me no worries man, i dont sub to him just see vids here and there but i should cuz its good stuff, i was a house framer 3 years ago but worked with lumber so metal is foreign to me but i love the knowledge!
If you go to Florida, I recommend the space coast (around Cape Canaveral), then you can watch rocket launches from your house.
ua-cam.com/video/d7BzVn81Gwcu/v-deo.htmleur
I live around space coast, I can literally walk outside and watch rockets launch, when there is a launch.
Stay away from the space coast basically a tourist trap if you're going to buy land north Florida it's super cheap
I have friends in Cape Canaveral and family in St Petersburg if you go to FL
No get land near Kevin/backyard scientist
I think you'd benefit a lot from having a window A/C unit that can also act as a heat pump. They're an unbelievably energy efficient way of heating your home.
"SIr the AC isn't reversable"
"Weld a license plate flipper to it
Just put it the other way around and rip the control panel and stick it on the wall.
@@ignasanchezl or get one with a remote and simple add a mirror, way easier than taking it apart. Hell, put it on something that spins and locks in place flush with the house and you've basically got it done already.
@@shadowsnake5133 You would need it to be mounted with a window next to it. You would probably get some leakage
almost every house in northern europe has a heatpump! They're awesome
Watching a lighting storm as I’m falling asleep sounds like a dream come true
Also this place looks hella dope! Seen so many mini homes never seen one that was like hm think I could actually live there
Its only worth it if u plan on doing alot of shit outside. Like idgaf about the house too much I'm always farming and building shit. Basically buying more acres of land instead of buying a big house wit small yard.
My family and I really love your channel, thank you for being so transparent in the process of making this bad boy!!!
Peter: "so yeah that's pretty cool, hopefully I don't set my house on fire"
Also Peter 5 minutes later: *applies blowtorch to ceiling*
* flashbacks to William Osman *
Did anyone happen to see a smoke alarm or a carbon monoxide detector in the house? I’d say that both are necessary.

Peter, great build! One piece of advice is to store your potable water in a light proof container to reduce the likelihood of algae blooms
Or at least covering a translucent container in black paint for the same reason.
Good point. That would also stop bromide from forming.
Here’s a suggestion on how to keep mosquitoes away while also beautifying your new home. Use lavender, marigolds, citronella grass, catnip, rosemary, basil, scented geraniums, and up to 15 total plants to ward off pesky insects while making your place look and smell great!
To keep the fresh water tank from freezing, an electric heater is probably simplest since you have dozens of solar panels to spare. But for a more DIY approach, consider a solar thermal collector, made from a coil of PEX water pipe coiled in a shallow box about 1 sq.m / 1 sq.yd, covered with glass or acrylic. This could either circulate water directly from the fresh water tank, or maybe safer, weak antifreeze through another coil under the base of the tank. A similar panel could work as a pre-heater for the water feeding your electric hot water tank.
But speaking of that electric hot water tank, you mention switching it on only when using it. I hope you’ve got a strategy that simply wasn’t mentioned in the video for keeping it disinfected. You can get some nasty diseases growing in a water tank when it cools below 120F / 50C. Is it good enough to hope that warming it back up to 140F or so once a day takes care of it? I don’t know, but I’d want a firm answer before showering in it.
Dude. I love it. I've watched so many people create like $100K+ tiny homes.... and that's great but not much to show how you can live simpler with the basic amenities.
I want to build something similar on the back of an m35 deuce and a half
That would be pretty sick👌🏻

You rock man. You are too hard on yourself. Everything looks incredible. Give yourself a pat on the back. Most people don't have the intellect or ability do this. You definitely hit this one out of the park. Congratulations.
Those stair-drawers desperately need some latches so you don't break your neck. But overall it is an extremely cool house!
i think the lids insert into the storage
Yeah but they can slide out when he walks downstairs.
yeah or some sort of edge inside so they can still be taken out but not slide out all the way horizontally
If you look close when he lifts the first one, you can see it has some kind of edge underneath so they sit in place properly.
@@MotoAtheist I think the treads simply slide in beneath the risers, which won't prevent the treads from slipping.
"So i have nice clean water wherever im at"
*proceeds to drink baking soda water*
R0 water typically will be acidic, and you may need t buffer pH with a base such as baking soda.
That said his airater s likely the cause of the milky looking water in the vid.
@@r.b.l.5841 so its till safe
I add minerals to my RO water and it tastes so much better. It's also less acidic when treated with minerals.
@@Doriamo True, the RO removes the good minerals from water, not just the stuff we want removed.
Pure H2O tastes terrible in my opinion. upping the pH with soda ash or sodium bicarb to introduce carbonate (CO3) (magnesium carbonate is even better if available) making the water taste much nicer as well as adjusting pH.
You should have bottled water for guests tho
Tiny Houses like this aren't exactly a substitute for an apartment, but they're definitely a viable option for people that want a smaller, more affordable first option for a home while they save up for the dream home. I can see something like this being a good idea for someone that has saved up enough money or can get a loan (that they can pay back with enough money to spare to cover their costs and save away) for both the house and maybe some land to put it on that they use to live in while saving for whatever plans they have for their future. Another option is for the traveling project manager/superintendent.
The Zoning Authoritarians do not permit tiny homes or mobile homes even on private property in many places. Our once free country is in need of liberation from the Zoning Authoritarians.
Wow I'd never have the energy to do all this myself, impressive!
I love how you have all these UA-camrs going on about social and environmental reform but then they go out and buy multimillion dollar mansions, and here you are actually putting in the work without acting superior to anyone

@@amandaburleson2035 Hey Chris if you're just starting out, Bitcoin and Ethereum are the sure bet right now, but a lot of the new coins are good, just do your research on them before buying. You can always buy small amounts first.
So glad I stumbled on this video! This tiny house is my dream house and it’s portable! Great work! I need one of these one day!
6:31 - I laughed a little too hard.
Peter, what are the chances that you could team up with styropyro and make a CV tracking system that shoots mosquitoes with lasers? I would personally fund you a grand if I got some sort of working prototype out of it.
The capacitors required to provide the energy to laser mosquitoes would require a lot of power and might not be feasible to power with just solar panels. Not to mention mosquitoes are very small, fast and hard to track, they're also semi-transparent which means that a laser's energy won't be absorbed efficiently by the mosquito, meaning that the laser will have to be even MORE powerful. Having a laser strong enough to kill mosquitoes would probably be very dangerous and inefficient.
@@AbyssPriestess ya just clap much more efficient
@@AbyssPriestess do you know who styropyro is????
@@AbyssPriestess You ruined it
Shouldn't be hard to build, but hard part is when u zap something else, such as a person, in the process of zapping mosquitoes.
The wood stove is beautiful! I want to build a tiny-home like that, only it's a boat, and huge.
Same but for me a plane
Bit unrealistic but it's a dream of mine
@@11Denis11 an airship? ;)
@@11Denis11 if you want a airhome maybe something less dangerous and costly is a better idea like a blimp/air ballon
Go to a camping/caravan/RV show.
Excellent place to get inspiration and ideas.
Laminates are excellent for benchtops, replicate pretty much any finish you want over a Lightweight ply base. Most caravans use it.
Love bud. If u want hot water use a simple solar hot water heating setup. It can circulate using your existing hot water heater, then u can heat it up more as needed. Thanks for sharing, I built a very tiny guest house for myself on my brother's property in VT. And your right its best for tv and sleeping. Having a porch is thr best for a tiny house
If you want to improve your sink situation (well, sink ringing sound, actually), you might want to stick that standard 2-3mm heavy adhesive car sound dampening mat under a sink to remove most of the ringing sound from it - costs nothing, works amazingly well.
That’s a legit tip. Thanks for that Phil
Oh so THAT'S why I've seen that stuff stuck to the bottom of sinks before. I had no idea what it was for.
Skip the high priced audio crap and just get self adhesive asphalt ice shield ...
I worked my way through college and Law School living in tiny houses. They were called house trailers. In college I lived in a 35’ by 8’ one, I was on the grid, but it was dirt cheap. $45 a month for the lot rent and about $10 for electric and about the same for telephone. The lot rent included h2o. I earned minimum wage and loved my mansion.
That sounds like a fairly decent setup.
when and where was this? I'm interested
Were you able to set up grounding just in case it hit lightning, to remove static?
That sounds like a long time ago...
lot rent is minimum 300-400/mo unfortunately these days
I applaud your industry and your enthusiasm. Coming at it from an RVer's perspective, a six-ton travel trailer isn't unheard of, but the truck you pull it with in this video (can't ID it exactly) appears like it may be under-payloaded for such a large unit.
honestly this house is amazing, very impressed for a diy with no previous home building experience
Peter: "so i have nice clean water..."
Also him: ***proceeds to drink cloudy-murky water***
Probably air in the water due to pump
It's just bubbles. Let it sit for a minute and it'll be crystal clear!
bubbles.................
Yes there's air in it, that's gross
@@samuelmatheson9655 Yeah air is gross. I would never let it enter my body.
just so you know with starlink, the reason the say its "geo locked" right now is because theres not 100% coverage. As long as there is a base station in range your starlink terminal will connect, it's not actually "geo locked" in the sense that if you take it outside your property/state it wont work
Wifi ?
@@joshuaconnor6085 starlink
Its primarily due to bandwidth. Satellites coverage is there pretty much at this point just each sat can only service so many subscribers. So they limit how many subscribers exist in any one area. Roaming is allowed now but the assumption is that you're not a permanent subscriber in that zone, thus they can cope with the increased contention without risking a drop in performance and service for in area subscribers.
It was actually due to legal reasons but the FCC has finally given them approval for mobile operations (mobile satellite stuff has stricter rules than geo-locked satellite stuff). Apparently some people were able to use it on the road even before that but legally speaking they still had to say it was geo-locked.
its so wholesome to see your smile it makes feel good that your enjoying life idk
I 100% am behind your more simplistic approach to this whole thing. When you make something look super clean that usually means that you're hiding away all the complex things into difficult-to-reach places and it is typically those things that break the most often.
The one and only thing that bothered me was the combo switch/receptacle at 9:50 that both didn't have a device plate and also a non GFCI outlet in the bathroom lol (I'm an electrician so that's why this stood out to me)
The effects peter put on his breaker panel reminds me a lot of when I had to help my grandmother disconnect the power that runs out to the shed, except ours was never looked at by a professional
Until I asked my grandmother why the living room breaker was flipped and melted
William Osman: *spends 2 years trying to buy a house*
Peter: " i would just build a house"
I kind of don't think William was trying all that hard, though. 😂

I would download a house
I don't get how he finds the time

You are so funny, real and awesome! So proud of you and your dogo for making it happen
If you wish to "cut the weight" use acrylic board and make a vacuum former so you can custom form things like cabinets, shelfs and other load bearing item, but if they are vacuumed formed from plastic or acrylic the overall weight savings is amazing.
But tbh I’ve watched an ass load of tiny house shows with my gf, and peters is hands down the most spacious most livable one I’ve ever seen. Like I swear I had way less in my freshman dorm (that cost an ass load to live in) than he has now lol good ass build.

@@jamesleviathan8865 cool, just saying this is the most basic tiny home you can build, he did a good job picking out the base trailer, but everything else is a disaster. He shouldn't have tried to do it himself. these blueprints aren't worth anything, thers not even running water or proper plumbing. wheres the 50amp input? wheres the onboard genny? whats he gonna pull it with? I saw he had to hire a big truck because it weighs 14k pounds...the ONLY reason i mention a fishtank is because people said it couldn't be done. not like thats what makes my house
you dont put your CLEAR watertank outside, thats asking for algea buildup....his water tank is 30 gallons to put that into perspective, mine is 500 and it lasts me 2 weeks in the desert doing light dishes and showering 2 times a week. its a mess, valliant effort but should have gotten a tiny house dweller to help.
Dude fr am I the only person that didn't know you could buy a washer an a dryer in one,,,?!?,? Same with a microwave an a fryer like wtf

5:52 Peter Sripol and Tucker Gott collab confirmed? In all seriousness, that tiny house looks amazing! Keep up the great work!
I'm sure that Tucker and Peter could do something awesome, together
@@darkartsleather5586 one of the top comments on this video is Tucker saying that they should fly at some point, so it has to happen now
Id recommend mixing a bit of tapwater into the RO water when you get a glass. RO water is technically not that good for you. Your body has a natural osmotic pressure and RO water cam leech stuff like calcium, iron, sodium out of your system. Its not good to be drinking exclusively RO water. Maybe see if the company has nano filter instead of RO filters. Its a step down in filter size so you still have clean water but it leaves all the calcium and magnesium your body needs.
Source: I work for a local municipality and do water treatment. We are looking at upgrading to nano filters
Water is not a significant source of mineral nutrients for most people and totally unnecessary for people who eat a healthy diet. The idea that high purity water is somehow bad for you is pseudo-science. But you can always add a few minerals to your RO water if you are worried about it. Just run it over some clean marble pebbles or something.
Not really a problem. Food contains plenty of minerals too. Mineral loss through drinking ultra-pure water is only an issue for really, really niche situations - like living on a submarine, or a space station.
This is really awesome. I wish I had creative friends like this to hangout with and talk to 😎
This would be the future of homes for traveling specialist and or off grid living! Brilliant! New goal set !😊
For the water tank in the winter issue, route any overflow electricity from your solar setup to a heating element inside the water tank.
3:09 sleeping until 1am huh? skylight won't be the wakeup call you expect at that hour XD
High quality video, the effort does not go unnoticed. 👍
Lot use varies county by county, at least in OH and KY. Some rural counties are 'unrestricted' because some of the structures are over a century old and still habitable and occupied, while some of the modern suburbs are much less permissive.
People have done some tests and so far they “haven’t actually” geo locked starlink yet but I’m sure that could change pretty quickly.
Your Starlink account is linked to a geographical cell. You can in theory use it outside of your cell but if a cell you move dishy too isn’t officially supported it will not work
@@hanspecans Makes sense since they are still new. Right now they want to keep a certain number of people in each cell. I doubt they would start geo locking. The only reason I could see them doing that would be if they turned scummy and started geo locking, but having a "geo unlock" package that you have to pay extra for.
i don't know anything about that but i anticipate starlink once exiting beta won't be locked
From what I understand (from minimal research) the reason it’s geofenced is because they have to know your location to have satellites in range of your region. If you took it too far away from your geofence there may not actually be a satellite in range for the whole day. Idk if that will change when the full starlink cloud is up but that’s supposedly the reason. That’s why people who have taken their starlink mobile and have still had reception. They happened to still be in a area with coverage. I could definitely see someone going on an RV trip to like badlands or somewhere really random and there not being any reception due to the fact that there aren’t any customers there so there isn’t satellites in that inclination or orbit or whatever.
Somebody was able to contact SpaceX to change the location. Maybe on their website. So he could move it
6:30 Peter has an interesting sense of humor lol
Dude this is amazing 👏 the production quality is next level

Hey, I know you guys :0)
And when things go wrong you can knock it down.
Congrats on 1M. 🥳🥳🥳
Wish he would.
7:00 as somebody with a diploma in HVAC technology, I approve of the window unit. Package systems are just as valid as split systems.
Lmfao how much money did you waste on that diploma?
@@inferno7181 aside from the crappy cingage textbooks that even made the teachers mad, none at all. Tuition is paid for with grants whatnot, and there are even ways to get money specifically for text books. Even if you refused any handouts, technical colleges are way cheaper than 4 year colleges. (And there is a minimal amount of hoop-jumping)
I also laugh at outdated electrical components now, so it's definitely worth it (did I mention that everyone in HVAC is a little bit nutty?)
How do you like it. I've been doing it for 5 months not really thinking about continuing after a year. Maybe go into install and try
@@kevsimoes sorry to hear that bud. I fnished my last semester a couple months ago, and only worked full time for a month in the summer of 2020 as a helper doing installation. It was too tough for me, but you might get a completely different experience. I will note that installation has a lot more repetition than service and repair. If you're fine with that, and with the (alleged) increase in pay, go for it. Good luck!
@「 Deadpoppin 」 ah, sorry, there's been a misunderstanding. I meant (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), not (High Voltage Direct Current). And yes, I agree, DC motors are better. You may also be happy to hear that the newer and fancier high-efficiency air conditioners have DC motors in their compressors, so they can run at lower speeds when needed, in contrast to the constant starting and stopping of archaic AC motors used so commonly in older and cheaper machines. If only the economy were better, we'd get to see more of those majestic DC air conditioners in the wild. (And no, I'm not counting the one in your car. That's got car mechanic cooties on it.)
Good luck moving your trailerhouse, and good luck witn picking up all that was in your cupboards and now are on the floor! I hope that all the big items you have are bolted down? That bathroom could do with a touch up, but it is liveable for now.
some kind of fold up portable skirting on trailer would help stay warm in winter. I hear its big difference on smart homes. looking into plans making my own.
I’ve seen a lot of tiny home videos, and your tiny home is hands down my favorite one I’ve seen. That copper ceiling with the lighting and colors you chose is very slick. I also really like the giant tv. Thanks for sharing this!
This was so cool to see! Seeing you mention having to pick between hot water and AC makes me wonder how long it will be until we see hybrid-style water heaters for tiny houses, or a way of doing AC in a way where the waste heat from the coils can be recycled into hot water. Also, they do make DC-DC PC power supplies nowadays, so that might be an avenue worth exploring to eek out more capacity out of your battery backups.
Not for tiny houses but in my country new resistance heat water boilers are no longer allowed. So the new boilers here have a heat pump on them which make the basement cooler.
@@Tom-ku8bu heat pump water heaters need to be a bit larger to match the same demand which makes them suboptimal for a trailer, but they are a better option in most other respects. A coil of PEX on the roof that has been painted black could be used to preheat the water though which might be a solution.
One thing that I thing I have learned is that air sealing of the outer envelope is number one when designing for living space efficiency.
The tendency is to make penetration holes and to run as many things through the penetration as possible. The problem is that it is difficult to air seal multiple round wires, pipes, hoses that pass through a penetration and still make it accessible for future modification.
The answer is to make a single penetration for each wire/pipe/hose. You can size a penetration for a single object very snugly and air seal with removable, flexible sealer. For such a small living space it is worth the $ to upgrade to good windows or
you could double up the builder grade windows adding a solar reflective film shade externally or vented shutter to the outside could allow you to control solar heat gain for little $.
Your heater looks relatively efficient but is it worth the space plus dealing with incoming combustion, air plus venting to the outside plus providing and maintaining a fuel source? You and your dog’s bodies will produce approximately 300 watts when you are in the house and that will go a long way toward heating an efficient tiny house. So it probably would need little resistance heat or even better a small heat pump mini split to deal with temperature control.
The comment about being on families/friends land has a really good point. I'd totally build a tiny house but pad rental in my city ranges from $700+/month upwards - which is crazy for a small pad. And land purchase is unaffordable.
*doesn’t want lightning to hit him through the skylight* “I’m just going to put a metal shield on it.” Well, we’ll see how that goes.
The metal would guide the lighting away, like a car. Being inside a car is safer than being outside, even if the car is made of metal
Ever heard of gauss law
faraday cage
A metal "shield" would not do a thing. If it jumps 30 000 feet through air, it can jump the 2 foot and into your head no problem. That being said, the house is made of steel, so it is already like a car and any metal "shield" over a window would not matter. Normal glass does not conduct electricity, from what I know.
@@Robert-bw6jk sure, it _could_....if there's nothing else with less resistance for it to go through, like metal
Dunno why, only half hour comment showed when I first read, glad you seemed to have it actually, nvm
I would love to see super cheap apartments made this way. When it was just me, this was all the space I would have needed.
This is basically the whole reason why I want to get into the housing market if I ever get big money. Super-efficiency housing for cheap is something that could both really help a lot of people but is also a hot commodity for people that just want a single thing to live in.
Neigbourhood codes that forced eveything into being single family homes are to blame imo. Hopefully we start seeing some some change.
Homeowners want to keep that illegal in order to keep their property values increasing. People are starting to catch onto the scam, though, so maybe in the near future it'll be possible to just buy or rent something this size if that's all you want or need.
The only reason houses have to abide by all sorts of code and minimum standards is that landlords would sell/rent the most shoddy shacks for what they charge for a 'normal' house now and keep the price difference.
If you own it yourself, it's on you, if someone else makes you live in a box through economic pressure, it stops being fun really quickly.
Awesome build brother. Looks great
Nice job! Shades added to the cheap windows will save lots in energy costs.

12:03 Those stairs are a slipping hazard. At the very least, use some notches to prevent them from sliding when you're going upstairs in a hurry. A small notch on both sides, to lock the stairs in place, in both axis of lateral movement, while still allowing you to get them up. Though I would personally choose having them as drawers, because you might hook the top-cover while in a hurry, then step on whatever is inside that hole and break it, in your current setup. And you can even use wooden sliders, if you oil/wax them up. Also, look into small wind turbines (preferably vertical-axis wind-turbines (VAWT), which can even be home-made with plastic jugs, be them the Savonius type, or the Darrieus type, or the most likely hybrid which gets the best of both worlds), to have a backup power source, even if it's to trickle-charge the batteries just enough to run a few lights when you need them).
Since you have an angled roof, you can most likely use the lower part of the roof to fit one a wind turbine or two if you add solar panels up there, or more if you don't add solar panels. You could also make a low-profile horizontal-axis wind-turbine (HAWT) for the front or back of the trailer house, as well, to use wind which hits the trailer from the front or back, when stationary or on the move, to generate power. It would also help with fuel efficiency, by pushing the air sideways, if you carry the trailer with a pickup or something equally short, as opposed to a flatbed truck.
Also, consider adding a greenhouse on top of the house, for the winter, even if you keep the solar panels outside. Many people built houses inside greenhouses, because they can shade the house in the summer and they can warm the house in the winter, which when paired with the house's insulation, and a very cheap rocket-mass stove for cooking inside the greenhouse, leads to not needing much heating, if any, for the house inside the greenhouse. In particular, the part which makes it a "rocket mass" stove would be using a figure-9 (or figure-6) or flipped, as the air intake of the stove, to create a fire vortex/cyclone which to burn all the fuel leftover in the smoke, and running air pipes below the ground to avoid melting the greenhouse film or to avoid needing fireproof insulation materials for that part. And, in the summer, the sides of the greenhouse can be fully or partially opened, if needed, to get more air circulation than otherwise. You can get those angled metal pieces for the greenhouse, which are made from interlocking pieces which use screws to connect with the other parts without moving, so you can assemble and disassemble the greenhouse fairly quickly, when moving. And adding reflective panels (even made from plastic or veneer with tinfoil glued to it, or aluminium or stainless steel metal sheets) to get more winter sunlight hit the greenhouse instead of hitting the ground between the greenhouse and the sun, and adding dark-colored mats to the ground will also help heat the greenhouse, to get warmer temperatures without using fuel. Although those are semi-permanent setups, since it takes time to set them up and remove them, if you already know you will stay in a place for a few days or weeks or even months, it would be very much worth it to use. And you can even do it on the cheap, using garbage bags for the mats and using clingwrap (food foil) for the greenhosue film, because doubling the glingwrap (50% offset, like with bricks) will get you at least half the price of the greenhouse film, and you can patch holes using scotch tape (packing tape), and you can use scotch tape for the doors or door frames, too, since the non-glue part of scotch tape doesn't stick to the tape and doesn't stick with the clingwrap.
Ayo wtf!
@@woutvereijken yo that's what I'm saying, what's with the essay bruh 🤣
Chill
Interesting ideas! I also think securing the stairs would be a good idea, and your other points were worth considering. Idk about the greenhouse on top though. I'd be worried that would
1. Add too much weight
2. Make it too tall (this house is on a trailer and has to clear underpasses and other obstacles)
3. Make it more unstable by raising the center of mass. This is kinda in line with point 2, but yeah the higher the center of mass the more prone the house is to toppling over due to winds, uneven ground, and driving turns.
That's not to say a greenhouse is a bad idea. Maybe he could incorporate one off to the side or something idk. But interesting feedback
Bro...
This is awesome I love the bamboo in the arbys cup as well
Nice job!!!
Thanks for the video.
12:05 Maybe add a clip or a hinge of some sort so the storage/stairs don't slide around while you climb them? just doesn't seem safe.
my thoughts exactly
Just needs little corner blocks on the bottom that insets into the drawer. Will help locate it. To get rid of the clacking some sort of foam would do the trick and make them feel softer to walk on.
Dowels in notches are my idea!!!
I’m 99% sure they aren’t just sitting there. Surely there are guides along the underside edges to keep it from moving laterally.
You can see the end of the stairs have a lip to keep the stair plates from sliding off
Pretty nice build! Recently bought 40 acres but it's an hour away so it would be nice to build something and bring it there so I can sleep overnight while I put in work on the property and eventually a full size house. Definitely gives some good ideas. I really like the fact that you went full solar for everything too. I see a lot of these where they still have propane stuff. It's nice to go all electric as it's free energy and clean.
Peter! Come to Texas!
I have very similar situation. I built my tiny house for about the same price and tx is pretty friendly outside of the incorporated cities. I'm about 20 minutes outside of Austin. Proud of your work, bro
I work at a home improvement store in the Millwork department, which is the area that deals with doors, windows and moulding. And I can tell you that ANYTHING custom with glass in it will take at minimum 3 months before it will ship. And that's not to mention the vinyl to make windows is in low supply, along with steel and fiberglass to make doors. So I would recommend to not make a house from the foundation up, as you will be lacking in windows and doors for months.
For future reference, I don't watch your videos because I think you're perfect at anything. I watch your videos because I enjoy you sharing your experiences which _would_ include you building tiny houses if you were to share that.
About starlink, from what I’ve heard, it’s currently geo-locked for the sake of the beta testing. Once more satellites enter the constellation, it shouldn’t be geo-locked anymore.
8:06 I like how the outlet is still uncovered
cool build. thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love the house!
Your master wiring is cheap and easy to fix up and make soundproof.
Also so cool that you left certain things ready for adaptation and modification based on your needs.
Always anticipate the way you break down pretty detailed engineering into humorous snippets
I’m rethinking how comfy a tiny can be. Thanks!
Install magnet on the stairs. I know you have them friction fit on the back of the stair but adding inset decent magnets will stop the small movements and keep them more secure.
Very nice build! I've thought about using metal studs given the weight and cost of wood these days. One concern. 35 years ago I lived in an old Bangor & Aroostook potato hauling RR boxcar that I had delivered to my property in No. Maine for $1200. (no wheels/trucks). Because they heated the boxcars to prevent the potatoes from freezing in the winter, it was fully insulated and lined with white cedar. The problem in the winter is that the ceiling wood had no air/moisture barrier and no ventilation between the metal roof and the insulation below it. So what happened is that the moisture from winter living would migrate into the insulation and up to the cold metal of the roof and freeze on the inside. In the spring, it would melt and run back down into the living space. I can't tell from your build what technique you are using to prevent this. You've got amazing energy! It's great to see. I used to...
Dude, you are the fist person to make small houses look this cool. Steel frame is awesome. Is the steel painted to prevent rust?
The height of the home being almost 2 stories makes it much more long term viable in my eyes.
Looks Great Man!
Really, nice, clean [cloudy] water.
if only someone would combine the best parts of a rope with the best parts of a ladder... joking aside, thats awesome. i reckon a slide rail would be cool to guide your rope around the house
Cool idea but is it possible to hang the rope and Peter on a slide rail without it buckling?
@@KarryKarryKarry giving me El Camino vibes here
Simply two ropes with wood bars
That power socket within hands reach of the shower is scary AF.
You want to keep any removable power circuits well outside arm's reach.
Reasoning?
@@fourthpanda wet hand + 120v = Peter go brrrrrrrr
It might be less of an issue in the us on 120v but UK at 220/240v you not allowed a socket in a bathroom.
@@TheWebstaff In the US we also have 5 mA GFCIs on bathroom circuits which should provide much more protection than the 30mA RCDs common in other parts of the world. Having said that, I didn't see any GFCIs in Peter's house, hopefully they're still present.
@@TheWebstaff volts don't kill, amps accross heart does.

This is super cool. Would be interested in doing this myself
Looks amazing!
Awesome project! I have been trying to encourage my brother to look into building a tiny house or even like a sprinter or something. It would be a huge step up from his current situation.
About time for your update Peter, I was wondering how it was going. Great to see it finished.... FYI double glazing works really well to stop noise from outside. Also bubble wrap on the windows is a cheap n easy thermal insulator in winter...regards Laurie NZ
little tiny house and huge hangar worth of instruments and equipment :) Impressive
the Rope, awesome you should install a track on the ceiling and be able to move the Rope along the inside!! good job inspirational!!
I love this, it feels way larger on the inside and it's super efficient
I absolutely LOVE how you chose to cover the walls and ceiling
It looks so tasteful
Personally I would put a drip edge of some kind coming from the counter to the piano so if a drink spills it doesn't roll over to the piano
looks beautiful
The piano is my favorite!!!! Omg
