Great little house. Having started one of the very first tiny house companies, may I share a few thoughts? If you intend to travel off property with this house, I worry that you used nails as they will work themselves loose and may not have the sheer strength for transport, especially with a single axel as they have extra bounce. Screws and glue provide the safety and strength for the structure and the siding. You didn't mention the type of fasters you used for the ceder sideing but stainless steel screws don't weep, stain and often are stronger than other options. The shingle roof may get damaged in transport, just keep an eye out. For something this small, metal may also be more cost effective for purchase, installation and longevity. Given the height and the small single axel trailer, be cautious and extra vigilant as transport can become unruly. I have seen other self builders damage and/or loose their units including units with double axels. Top heavy and narrow footprint houses love swaying and bouncing. As you mentioned weight is a concern, for extra fun on your next build borrow a scale from the home good isle and weight each piece of lumber. It may be time consuming but it either will help buffer the weight capacity or allow for flexibility/considerations on other amenities. We even did this in our commercial production to hit our target lumber weight allowance. I'll stop here. Hope this offers some pleasant insights.
Very cute but I think the outside would have looked better if you had left it a natural cedar color with black accents! It does look a little spooky being all black!! The most important thing is to enjoy it and make lots of memories!
Hahahaha! You were looking so happy. Then, the wood frame fell. This is great. To include mistakes and a big healthy sense of humour. I bet you could expand it down the road. Beautiful work. The black outside will serve you very well for camouflaging (not sure if I spelt that right in English) and being in the woods for a day or 2 with your little man while the wife gets a break. I would have put a window on each end of the roof. In summer it is hot. You could put screens, and the heat can escape reducing condensation. Just an idea, though. 😊❤
I have a 4x8 trailer cabin. depending on a lot of factors, MAKE SURE your trailer is weight rated for the build and everything you plan to have in the cabin, furniture, storage, amd yourself - mine is minimalist, 1200lb, aluminum frame - NO STORAGE. Weigh everything and keep tabs on the state of the trailer frame - rust and maintenance
Very cute!!! And what a wonderful dad thing to do for your son! He's creating the types of memories he'll be able to draw on for the rest of his life. Bravo, Dad!!!!😊😊😊
the little boy is the only one who did the marshmellow correctly! you're supposed to catch it on fire and blow it out. that black stuff is what makes the smores! :)
@@candicezinnick3449 yup, it's a vapor barrier thing. Insulation with no brown paper front will require plastic. Good thing this is a tiny home camper for fun camping trips. Good thing i also pay attention and help with what i can when my husband is doing remodeling jobs or else I'd be absolutely clueless. 🤣😂🤣😂
You are a wonderful family and was interesting and teaching to see your build. I won't be able to do this myself, but I plan to buy a tiny camper van at some point. Have much fun with your creation. :)
Awwwwww the tiny house came out so cute, but definitively your little boy is way even cuter and adorable, God bless. 🥰 PS: great job Dad, congratulations!
Hey, I believe the pink insulation goes against the wall and the paper facing is on the side you see (prior to the installation of the paneling.) Just a thought. One more thing ...the exterior black paint will certainly make it hot in sunny weather. It is cute however. I hope it provides lots of fun times for you and your son going camping. 😄
I'm SOOO ENJOYIN' THIS video 😅... I've stopped to say a MoMthanG 😆 You double gloved to not get insulation on your hands but, you don't have safety goggles on!!! I'm shakin' my fanger at you, sonnyboy. 🤓👇
Quick idea... Attach a ladder to a blank part of the wall near the door to make it easier to access the bed. I thought the house was so cute and your family is adorable 😍🥰
People stain is treatment and protectore etc for the woods u can buy different staining tht does different things and most staining is water resistant to protect the wood from the or any other effects wood can have outside
Hey - I love the build process. I'm going to seem like a jerk for giving you old man's advice but.... just a little tip with that nail gun - Don't hold your other hand so close to where you're shooting the nails in (4:47). Sometimes they go in straight, but then pop out at an unexpected angle and can go right into you finger. Always hold at least 8 inches back. Stellar job though! And I watched the final vid too when you presented it. It's amazing!!!
Last time I was in the ER a young man was sitting in a chair, waiting with a nail all the way through his hand. I would have pasted out. I don’t know how long he had to wait. 😢
Id save space and do away with the hot water heater, sink and toilet. Take that whole section out . Use it mainly for a bed. Use the outdoor space you had the toilet in for storage of water, camp stove and small bucket for washing any dishes etc. if you go to campgrounds, just get a spot close to the restrooms and showers while he’s little, use paper plates and stuff so you don’t even have to wash dishes. The whole point of camping is too rough it. But you primarily spend your time outside cooking, etc.
That video was absolutely great and inspiring! Your humor is on point, and I had a good time watching it. Keep up the amazing work! I’m seriously considering building my own tiny house now. 😊 Greetings from Germany.
Could put the shower pan in front of sink cabinet or sink it into the floor or pull it out from the cabinet like a drawer. The sink faucet can be used as the shower head. Or place the shower at the door and the showerhead from outside can be used. Sink the shower pan into the floor. Have the water empty onto the ground. Shower curtain can be pushed out the door to dry. Put a fan on the roof to extract water vapor during and after the shower. The toilet should be able to slide in and out of the house via a sliding shelf that you can make for it to sit on and pull out. The area where the toilet will be pulled inside, keep that front area of your bed open so you can sit on the toilet inside the house. Hang acurtain in front of the toilet area! Put in a vent/fan to push smells outside. So your couch will be in 3 sections! You could put the frig also under the sink. The shower pan slips under the frig. When finished, with toilet, push toilet outside and pull the couch section over that space where the toilet was used. Make room at the other end of the couch for a small frig., or put it under the sink. The baby loft could be made flat during the day and assembled at night with a safety bar to prevent him from falling out of bed. If you want to keep toilet inside under your bed, can use the box for extra water and a water heater and a heater for the house! Or could put water heater on the ceiling out of sight, on a shelf or blind as well as the heater.
Cute little cabin/ tiny house. Question. Why can't Weston sleep on the bench where it's softer and out of your way when getting up and down in your top bed? Also. Did you consider a flip top bench to make you a larger bed where you and your wife or Weston could sleep together? When it's out it would only take up for space. You get up, go out, fold it back over, go back inside... or you could stand on the counter again. 😄 Just asking.
Like some things in Levi’s store could be easy wood things like door stops, shoe horn, book ends. Heirloom items could be kids table and 2 chairs, dollhouse? shoe rack, utensils holder organizer thing.
Good job! Remember next time,the pink side of the insulation goes on the inside! Also I know you said you prefer the black paint,but personally I prefer the beautiful natural wood! God bless you and your family Amen!🙏🏻❤🏠🙏🏻💙🏠
Pretty cool. Would you change anything? I wonder if you could make the kitchen half way along one side toward the back, and then make the bed flip down on the other? Just have access to the sink from the floor area and everything else can be accessed when the bed is up. Great concept. Really fun to watch. Well done 🙂
You stained it black? Why? A clear coat would have made the cedar POP. I almost cried when i saw the results. But hey, it's your tiny house. Good job on making use of the space.
Such a nice tiny home. Great job! I am loving all of the windows including the window on the door. Was this your first time at building a tiny home? I give you a 110.
Around the 27 minute mark theres a bug crawling on the left hand window, andnl tried getting it twice before realising it was ìn the video lol. Old age a n d eyes that are not as good as they were.
It's the coziest little tiny house🙌❤️❤️ Very nice! 👌 great job! 💪 Just now I was thinking it's perfect for some getaways with my dog ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰 ahh I envy you in the best way🫣🙈😊
This is not a good price point. I bought an old 91 fleetwood wilderness 29t for 500. Put 4 brand new trailer tires on it, bought magnetic 4 plug brake lights and extension wires for it so i could get it home, Gutted it, got rid of all the propane, switched it out for 110 appliances, moved the bathroom, installed a compost toilet but kept the original for a urinal, converted the black tank to grey, converted the potable water tank to grey, put in a 110 washer and dryer, put in a small wood stove, and put toolboxes on the front and back and I'm still well under $3000
I agree. I turned a 16 passenger school bus into a tiny house for under $3000. $600 for the bus at an auction. Gutted out the whole inside. Added insulation & walls. Built the wooden bed frame,cabinets,& toilet area,etc. Solar panels on top& batteries,etc. Tiny fireplace w/chimney. That should've been much less than even $2k!!
Perfect example of when a person has no idea how to build or work on a house or tiny house,and just "wings it", maybe getting his ideas from other UA-camrs. Watch this video for what NOT to do! 😂 He definitely didn't do much research,draw up a plan with accurate measurements, and definitely didn't measure twice & cut once! 😂😂😂

It was very cute before you painted it. Now, it looks more like Tim Burton Goes Camping. It's just not attractive. And you'd cook in the desert, or at the beach.

Were you involved in Tumbleweed tiny houses? I was in love with those about 22 years ago. I finally gave up my dream.
Who cares if it’s not perfect. Looks like great fun for you n your son. Awesome! 😊
Very cute but I think the outside would have looked better if you had left it a natural cedar color with black accents! It does look a little spooky being all black!! The most important thing is to enjoy it and make lots of memories!
Yes! 🙌🏼 agree. Plus it will absorb the heat
Not painted looked better for me. But you did it. Koodos

Ahhhh, you put the insulation on backwards. 😂
Oops!
Yes, pink fiberglass in, paper side out.

😂 you're both hilarious.. the hornets...lol running over the light...lol
Honestly, having your son helping is totally adorable!
I panicked when I saw this thinking mine was in backwards
now you need to take it on the road and see how it holds up.
Your assistant is adorable!
Aw this is so cool. Your lil guy will cherish these memories 😊
When he said "stain it black" i died a little inside... Why use such a beaultiful wood then :(
Cedar will turn gray and ugly with weather and time. So he chose what he likes.
Great job. If you plan on transporting put some reflective tape on it to be safe.
U r so funny. By far, my favorite tiny house build. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and Weston is so dang cute. ❤❤❤❤
You are a wonderful family and was interesting and teaching to see your build. I won't be able to do this myself, but I plan to buy a tiny camper van at some point. Have much fun with your creation. :)
Great job my aunt had a play house for her kids to on wheels much bigger than this well a full sized caravan actually but nice project to do
Awwwwww the tiny house came out so cute, but definitively your little boy is way even cuter and adorable, God bless. 🥰
PS: great job Dad, congratulations!
No, those are the things YOU want when camping. LOL
Little guy is so cute, and so is the little house.
Great job Levi and family! You inspired my wife and I do the same thing with our 5’x10’ trailer
Your links are great! One question, what did you connect your solar panels too?
they are connected to an ecoflow Delta Battery!
Thank you I understand now, God bless!

Chaos! But love the positive vibes and perseverance! I love how everyone hates the black paint. I don’t love it either, but that’s okay!
It was already very beautiful with natural wood colour!
There was no need for black paint.
I Totally Agree!!
I like the black. :)
I like them both :)
Nice job
People stain is treatment and protectore etc for the woods u can buy different staining tht does different things and most staining is water resistant to protect the wood from the or any other effects wood can have outside
Weston is adorable, I see a T Rex 😂
Take out the ceiling bed and put in a hammock. Embrace the adventure!
The most anticipated video of 2024! Very cool and glad you got to experience it with your family.
I love your munchkin's voice. He's a winner 🏆
I have a toilet like that. It’s called a cassette toilet. Great job on the tiny. Very cute and cozy

Amazing ❤

Just a thought… maybe a hammock would be easier to get into and out of than the fold down bed. Also, a hammock can hold 2 people.❤️🐝🤗
New subscriber here. I look forward to following your page. You have an amazing little camper for you and your son to enjoy. I love it!

Found you on tik tok and it lead here. love this build!
How does anybody land a nail in their nose.. you did a good job I bet you could make lots of money making them for the homeless people
This is so cool, except for the insulation!
That looks irritating!😅

That trailer was like a teter totter. Imma call it Teter Totter Hall!
IF he had installed the jacks on the outside in the back, it wouldn't have been so shaky.
good job on the minimal blood.
I just watched a video of a guy who did a 32sf micro cabin and his was $1800.
Very cute. 😂. Love the tiny house.
What size/dimensions of trailer? What weight limits?
Great job! 💜💜 and i can't believe weston is 3!!! 🤯
Such a cool build! Great job!
You didn't use any treated wood or silicone during your frame to trailer (foundation attachment) it's not going to be totally waterproof at all.
Like some things in Levi’s store could be easy wood things like door stops, shoe horn, book ends. Heirloom items could be kids table and 2 chairs, dollhouse? shoe rack, utensils holder organizer thing.
Hi there fantastic biuld specially that u made it for u and your son.x

What a cute little boy you have. That "house seems cramped and uncomfortable but OK for playing with your son.😊
Question 🙋♀️ for Levi. Were you a host on a Tiny House, Airbnb show on TV?
Yes still am! Tinybnb

Do you think a hotwater baseboard heater with radiator floor would work?
Good job
Around the 27 minute mark theres a bug crawling on the left hand window, andnl tried getting it twice before realising it was ìn the video lol. Old age a n d eyes that are not as good as they were.

A place just to rest my head
The paper goes towards the inside. Ooops!!!!
Cool bro. Love it. You didn't include the bed build but otherwise thanks for the ideas. Also what was the final tally to build this??
5000!
Does that include the exoflow products? If so amazing!
Cool! Who makes the heater and AC? Thank You
Ecoflow wave 2!
Entertaining and educational 😅
Very cosy ❤
Why is the paper for the insulation to the inside? Paper side goes out. 🤔
Dawn Power Wash works well to kill hornets DEAD (as well as ants, and any other kind of bugs for that matter). 😇
Insou😮ation
lol who else thought this bug was on your screen at 26:55
You forgot one big thing about Ohio we also get every season in one day lol but this came out great
