It's awesome that you let Alan run away with this video. The previous question and answer format was slow... Having Alan just walk us through the details is great.
Great information, beautifully filmed, you guys are creating an awesome library of steps in building an awesome place to live. Thanks from Sydney, Neil
This is awesome. A diy'er, im trying to do my sons room properly as i can and first time doing the aluminium joinery. Bought the Thermakraft moulds and couldnt figure out how they went.. then watched this and realised i had them upside down haha. Great video, thanks!
Wow, I've been watching you guys for a while now. You are making an amazing home. I'm totally jealous and inspired. It's going to look sooooo good when it's finally finished. I can't wait to see the final reveal. Keep up the great work guys!
Sure is looking like a house now. And since I've commented last a mate here in Blenheim is now a local contractor/builder for the same steel framing and has recommended a firm in Kaikoura who may make tiny trailers. Not ready to build yet but so reassuring even in a wee town I won't be doing this project alone as I previously thought, phew! When I have more details I will post and share with everyone.
ooooh this is getting exciting now window!!!!!! cant wait to see whats next. Thanks for this video it is very informative Ill be referencing this when we convert our shed into a utility room.
Thanks Matthew! We sure will. There's lots more great projects happening in NZ at the moment, so we're looking filming them. It will be easier for us to do more tour vids once our own build is complete too.
Very interesting procedure, quite a bit different from the standard out here on the west coast of Canada. The steel framing definitely adds to the differences. I liked the attention to the top corners (with flashing). I will be interested to see how the whole thing mates with the siding, since the windows are set proud of the face of the building instead of flush with it like we did.
Yup! It should looks really good. The gab has closed a lot more with the weatherboards on, and we will be using scribers around the windows to complete the look. :)
Yes Jake. I was just mentioning this same thing to my hubby. Glad to see you are watching this one too! Both of the differences you and Bryce are doing are totally fascinating.
Good tutorial,One question please near the end 18:29 your boys seem to be using a timber block to flush up the support bar to the sill before fixing/screwing it (support bar) secureCan i just sit and fix the window flat like that on the sill? Or do I have to pack it up minimum 5mm example using locator blocks clipd onto the support bar to create a gap for ventilation?or is the gaps just for the two jamb sides and header?I'm still learning, any help and advise will be grateful?
How did you find a range of such great trades people here in New Zealand? World of mouth? This builder, for example, and your trailer maker are superb. (But we live in Wellington...) The quality of the contractors would be my single major worry in regard to a new-build and I would try to build as much myself. Learning on the job. Great videos
Have been following you journey and wood like to say that it has confirmed my desire to build a simular home for my self and family but it will have to be done thimes three. I was wondering if anyone has done one on a simmi trailer or is it lorry trailer in your part of the world ? And if so could you show it . Thank you an American fan
Hey Paul! Yup, I have seen a project that's been started, but it's still quite a way from completion. We hope to film a tour of it this year though once it's complete. :)
What I like is the house is built very strong with the best materials and is very light compared to a wood built house. Dont have to worry about termites in that house. HaHa
Great build, I'm just starting my own tiny house in a few weeks. Can I ask what it is that you have used by batten which the cladding will be fixed. Am I right in thinking it's polycarbonate boarding cut into strips? Keep up the good work
Did you say your aim was to build this whole house for 20k? I haven't done the maths but I got a feeling this whole thing is going to add up to a lot more than that. Right now I'm contemplating a 1980 something Oxford caravan with bubble windows instead of a tiny house.
No, we haven't talked about our budget yet. We will outline all of that in a future video and on our website once it's all compiled. There are some DIY builds in NZ that have been pulled off for around 20k though.
Living Big In A Tiny House i saw it already the comments below, sorry for not reading..lol, well then i cant wait to see the finish product. great job. 👍
Thank you for the quick reply I know that it is about 6 to 8 hour ahead of where I live hear in the states as my adopted brouther's girl live in Aucland and he and she spend about 6 hrs aday talking to each other on skyp calls . It good to hear that some one is building one on shuch a trailer . Some where as hear in the states no one is yet I am amember of mostof the sites that are conected to thetinyhouse movement here .
Wow! That's awesome. Long distance can be hard but skype really does make it easier! Have you seen this house truck? One of the best large truck house conversions I have seen yet: downsized.co/truck-becomes-comfortable-solar-powered-home/
Living Big In A Tiny House Beautifully finished truck! However, aren't we trying to live more frugally? For $225,000 a person could purchase a huge piece of land and park a $20,000 cabin in the middle of it and live off grid and totally sustainable. I think I am more impressed with your project as it is keeping with the Tiny House plan. Keep up the good work, love your videos.
Oh, didn't notice you replying so I asked on the new video too. Oopsie! Sounds good man, you're making great content right now so I'm happy either way!
This is not only good for small mobile home installations but to a typical home. Best video.. covered all details perfectly.
Cheers! Yup, the house on top of our trailer is actually built to code, so it's no different to how a normal house would be constructed. :)
It's awesome that you let Alan run away with this video. The previous question and answer format was slow... Having Alan just walk us through the details is great.
Thanks for this video! I've had a hard time finding good detailed videos for installing windows in a steel structure!
What a great video, I hope I can find the next step video as we are putting an aluminium window into our weatherboard home. Thank you!
Great information, beautifully filmed, you guys are creating an awesome library of steps in building an awesome place to live. Thanks from Sydney, Neil
This gentleman you have found to do your contracting is a gem!
This is going to be an awesome house. Your builder seems like such a knowledgeable dude. Rock on.
This is great, and cool to see instructional vid from New Zealand builders. Thanks for this info.
This is awesome. A diy'er, im trying to do my sons room properly as i can and first time doing the aluminium joinery. Bought the Thermakraft moulds and couldnt figure out how they went.. then watched this and realised i had them upside down haha. Great video, thanks!

Thanks Derek! We are really excited for the final reveal too. Thanks for watching our vids!
wow! I love how he explains it. very clear and straight to the point.
Sure is looking like a house now. And since I've commented last a mate here in Blenheim is now a local contractor/builder for the same steel framing and has recommended a firm in Kaikoura who may make tiny trailers.

So satisfying, very well explained, very detailed. Thank you very much for sharing these informations.
Exactly what I was looking for today, that is NZ specific, thanks!
ooooh this is getting exciting now window!!!!!! cant wait to see whats next.
Thanks for this video it is very informative Ill be referencing this when we convert our shed into a utility room.
Great video! We're just about to install the windows in our tiny house in Taupo so it's awesome to have some in detail instructions!
Awesome! All the best with your build Holly. Feel free to e-mail us some photos and keep us updated on your progress. :)
Living Big In A Tiny House
Thanks! We will!
Awesome job bro! I love your channel keep up the good work and keep posting videos of you touring other tiny homes!
Thanks Matthew! We sure will. There's lots more great projects happening in NZ at the moment, so we're looking filming them. It will be easier for us to do more tour vids once our own build is complete too.
Nice looking forward to it! And looking forward to seeing your home done as well!
so plsed u made these videos available, doing steel and timber build and its just me and utube.. thanks for awesome informative video

This guy is a friggin legend!
Good job 👍

Councils here in new zealand require 7.5mm gap each side of the window to allow for foaming etc etc
does the window support bar add width to the tiny home. that might bring it above the max width for road passage?
It's a good job I appreciate.
Very informative video. Thanks for the upload. Are you putting anymore videos up on how to build?
Awesome video, can't wait for the next one :D

Great videos
Hi just wondering what the orange plastic corner pieces are called and where they were sourced from please?
Have been following you journey and wood like to say that it has confirmed my desire to build a simular home for my self and family but it will have to be done thimes three.

hi, guys. did you ever say how much the steel frame cost you guys to build or get built? i would really like to know this. thanks~!
Great build, I'm just starting my own tiny house in a few weeks. Can I ask what it is that you have used by batten which the cladding will be fixed. Am I right in thinking it's polycarbonate boarding cut into strips?
Keep up the good work
Jonathan Kirk that is just a standard plastic cavity batten. You can use H3.1 treated timber cavity battens.
Really starting to look like a house now!
Good job !!
I noticed how your stairs are not completely open to the side will you lose storage because of it or what will go under the stairs?
Hey there. We have plans for both pull out draws and a larger storage cupboard to be built into the stairs.
Alrighty then thank you for the reply :)
@ 18.35 i love how the camera man zoomed in on the level but has zoomed in on the wrong bubble
I knew building a tiny house would be complicated, I had no idea just how complicated though!
Unitec student come in for a thumb up !
Anyone in NZ know where I can buy sill support bars??
Is that galvanized steel framing?
Yup, it sure is. You can check out our steel framing vids for more info: ua-cam.com/video/LLtOVCYNjLs/v-deo.html
is your house finished... couldn't find a video about it
Did you say your aim was to build this whole house for 20k? I haven't done the maths but I got a feeling this whole thing is going to add up to a lot more than that. Right now I'm contemplating a 1980 something Oxford caravan with bubble windows instead of a tiny house.

Vraiment C'est excellent très bon à avoir
is this not yet done? coz i cant find the finish product. :)
Nope. We are still building at the moment. We should be fully enclosed soon and will be starting on the internal fit-out.
Living Big In A Tiny House i saw it already the comments below, sorry for not reading..lol, well then i cant wait to see the finish product. great job. 👍

I agree with that
Now.. where's the follow-up? I really wanted to see the result using this frame.
Hey there! I'm overseas traveling at the moment but I will be filming videos on this completed home when I'm back home in New Zealand early next year.
Oh, didn't notice you replying so I asked on the new video too. Oopsie!
Sounds good man, you're making great content right now so I'm happy either way!
He should be a professor.
Everything seems to be falling into place. Yeah.
It sure is! Very exciting. :)
