  • In this DIY video I solve my own personal housing crisis by building modern tiny house on wheels. This mobile tiny home has a footprint of 11'x30' and a livable 300 SQ FT of floor space. In this long, detailed, narrated video I show you how to build every step of the entire exterior; from a bare trailer to finished home including how to frame the tiny home, how to make the roof, insulating the floor, sheathing, installing door and windows, steel roofing, vinyl siding install and everything else along the way.

    Thanks so much the overwhelming support! There's a ton of comments and I'm trying to respond to a lot of them but there is just that - a lot. A lot of people were asking about Supers so I just enabled Super Thanks on here as a new way to support the channel. I'll be more personally answering most of the Super comments that come in the next little while 😀. Also, taking a couple days to relax but I'll have the plans out sometime this week! Thanks for watching, more on the way 🎥

      While I get this build is in response to expensive home prices I am not sure even this moneys out as "inexpensive." This build is currently around $165/square foot (US...I did the conversion). And it is not done yet. There is all the interior stuff, heating/cooling and appliances to add to it. Then consider wherever this ends up it will have to pay to rent or lease some land to sit on and get sewage and electric hookups.
      For comparison, the median cost per square foot in the Chicago metro area is $258 per square foot. I am betting this will be close (and that is ignoring the cost of labor which...in this case...was mostly "free" because he built it himself...still needed some help). If you had to pay someone to build this the costs would sail past that $258/square foot mark with ease and it is not "cheap" anymore.

    Great work. I've been designing and building handcrafted log homes for over 55 years. I started the same way you did. The only problem was there was no UA-cam, no schools and no books on the subject. I learned by looking at old log homes up in B.C., taking lots of photos and then studying them. I did what worked and avoided mistakes that were obvious. There really is nothing to big to take on if you have desire, courage and access to a few tools and a place to work.

You have a great way of teaching and explaining. Your videos are THE BEST I've found in your little niche of youtube and that's really saying something because I watch a lot of these videos. Please keep doing what you do. Can't wait to see the next video

    Hi Drew. I just happened onto your van build and the detail that is shown was really helpful. I have always been crafty painting building my chicken coops dog pens and house projects. I’m now working on restoring a 1986 Toyota dolphin motor home and watching you do this tiny home was amazing. Even though you did not do the roof and skylight the way you filmed it would let someone be able to tackle that job. By the way I’m a 65 years young woman and after seeing this house build I am all in on the ideas I have for making it a quirky camper with confidence 😊 thank you so much for the opportunity to see this. You have a GOD given gift of teaching. May your future be bright, abundant and blessed. I will make sure to watch all of your videos. 😊😊 I plan on being on the road by this Christmas with my 2 dogs and like you, when i need a second set of hands I call someone. My son fully supports my wacky ways 😅😂 and will help where I can’t reach or lift. He grew up in construction so I tap his knowledge regularly. I also watch UA-cam university 😂
    Take care

    Dear Drew, I would like to congratulate you on a wonderful build, for a first timer and the detail that you went into to describe everything that you did. I am much older than you (probably twice your age) and certainly would not be able to do what you have done but tiny homes are certainly the way forward for those who cannot afford the horrendous rental costs and purchase prices of properties throughout the world, as well as older people who wish to downsize. Yes, the tiny house movement may have started in the US but it is spreading throughout the world; I may end up living in one. I have not watched your other videos re your new home yet but they will certainly inspire me and give me great ideas of what I actually need. Best wishes. David from the UK
