- We're building a 175 square foot tiny house on an 18’ Tumbleweed custom trailer. In our first episode, we’ll fill you in on what we’ve been up to that’s led us to building a tiny house. Then we’ll get started putting in the insulation, decking and framing the walls.

Hi Ashley and John! I have followed your complete tour on Baby Blue and am now looking forward to your new project: the Tiny House! Keep up the great work and also keep your positive and fun attitudes! Anticipating your coming adventures! Lars
Thanks for sticking with us!
we'll stick with you. And when you head back to sea. Thanks for sharing a great subject 28th a tiny house. LOVE the topic.
We will be following you here as well as your sailing channel.
hi ashley & john,
i've been following your baby blue adventures, i loved them and i can already tell that i will also love the tiny house travels!
great first video and i tip my hat to you guys for being so handy and crafty! i hope we get a lot of insight into how to build a tiny house, and maybe you guys could also say a word or two about expenses?
you two are such likeable, calm, grounded people, i admire you!
may there always be a bit of luck when you need it!
my best wishes from austria, europe,
mathew :)
I have a big list going of every dollar we're spending on the tiny house so we can let you know the total and the breakdown of expenses when it's complete! I learned my lesson from not doing that from the beginning with the boat. Thanks for your kind words!
If you fail to plan , plan to fail. Lot easier on paper. Thanks for all the sailing videos really enjoyed them. Looking forward to your videos in the future. Keep on keeping on!
Luv u guys!
Love the transition from sail boat to tiny travel house. Very excited on your next adventures.
Hi Guys, Enjoyed your sailing adventures a lot. Looking forward to your Tiny Home adventure. Come out to Southwest Colorado. Be safe.
I have been following your sailing channel for a long time now and was saddened to hear you'd be leaving the water. But, my fiancé is all about the tiny houses, so we are here to stay! Can't wait to see what's in store for you two. Have fun building your new home!
I look forward to following you on this adventure as well. Maybe you can explain why you are doing a tiny house for travel rather than just doing a travel trailer for those of us not hip to the tiny house movement. Thanks
Thanks for coming along! Yeah, we can do that. :)
It is quite funny to see you two transition from Baby Blue to your trailer. I have enjoyed watching and hearing about your travels. Wherever you lay your hat is your home. Relocation for a job should not be a problem. Traveling is the same just the mode of transport is different. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you two lived through a home remodeling, cruising a sailboat with just an icebox for two years, and now building a small home to live in and travel. You'll be fine. I am from California but I have spent some time in upstate N. Y. and Connecticut and it is a great place to hang out in. I will follow along on the fun with you guys. I look back and realize I have lived a great portion of my live living out of a suitcase and have no regrets.Keep the videos coming. It's all good. Good luck to both of you, just look at what you have accomplished so far.
P.S. have you thought about a name for the trailer?
Yeah, it seems we have a pattern of living a somewhat unsettled life! But it's served us well so far. :) I have been thinking a little bit about a name for the house...but nothing has stuck yet. We'll have to wait to see how it turns out, but the blue roof might have to be a contributing factor. Any suggestions?
Our blue heaven??
Great job building. Excellent job editing.
Been following your sailing adventures almost from the beginning, absolutely fascinated to see what comes next :)
Coming along from Baby Blue.

All the best on your new adventures!
happy new adventures!!!!
Great video guys! I cant wait to see more :)
Awesome
love it
Grenada is my home. Glad you guys visited hope you enjoyed the Oil down
Y'all are doing exactly what I'm wanting to do, except in reverse :)
Subbed and followed for awhile on your other channel. Congratulation on living life as it should be. As an adventure!
lol lol lol....... I have followed complete tour on Baby Blue.... this wil be nice
why not take the sailboat trailer??? looking forward to your new project.......GL
i a still going to be sticking around
My husband says your saw shouldn't be smoking like that. Probably your blade is on backwards (or it's dull, or even the wrong kind of blades). It will still cut that way but you will be burning through your wood. Did you notice the extra smoke mixed with the sawdust? Anyhow, hope that helps save you on blades =)
Oh snap, that was cobleskill fair
Haha. Yes, we were indeed in Cobleskill.
I really enjoyed your Baby Blue series and have seen some pretty cool mini homes on youtube... I think there is a New Zealand youtube channel on mini homes. For one or two people I think it is a great alternative especially on a budget.Congrats on buying a home land base, I think that is a really smart move to be doing it now.Great first episode and I have already subscribed.
Thanks for coming over to the new channel! I had no idea how hard it would be to find a place where we could (semi) legally park a tiny house on our own land. We were kicking ourselves for not buying land before we left on our cruise, but it's still exciting that we finally found something. It's easy to overlook that part of the package!
Another channel that you should see is [ Our Debt Free Journey ]. But it looks like they have stopped for now doing a rebuild on there trailer.Good luck going off grid .
Love you guy's but your sound is uneven... Us of a shotgun or lavalier type mic would improve it.
I was initially bummed by the "Not going to sail for a while," but the tiny house thing is kind of interesting. I think I'll keep watching and see how this thing turns out. I want to see y'all wearing safety glasses. Young blind people isn't cool. Good luck.
I thought you might be out the door from your prescient comment about everyone giving up and going to RVs on the last video! Haha. We're trying to remember the glasses, the masks, and as I learned the other day, ear plugs. Ouch.
More!
We were thinking of using a goose neck trailer ? Any recommendation on if it's a good idea or not ?
Hey i have a question, how long are the bolts and did you go threw the 2x6 and plywood too?
just subscribed! unreal the boat house, not sure if i could do that on the water for so long lol.
Is or will there be an episode 2?
I'm looking forward to watching this adventure unfold!
I'm no build expert, but wondering if you don't need to leave some leeway for trailer-flex (my own made up word!) since you intend to take this out on the road? What other special measurements have to be accounted for to make it road-worthy?
Found your new site, will look forward to your new adventure. Interested in seeing how you do the floor plan.
Also would be interested in knowing how you calculated the final weight of this tiny house to be sure that you were under legal limits and within the towing capacity of your vehicle. Did you find a program somewhere? Are you planning to have A/C and heating in this house, and what kind.
We're hoping to keep it under 10,000lbs. We have a Ford F250 and from what we've read online we think it can handle that load. Once we get everything framed and insulated we'll take it to a weigh station so we know what we're working with for the finishes where we have more options for materials. We're doing a cubic mini wood burning stove. We might wait to put in a heating/air conditioning combo unit until next summer.
Subbed and subbed on the other channel as well and when are y'all planing on being back on baby blue
Wow, you guys are building really fast for no experience, I have lots of building experience and my build is going really slow. Are you working on it full time?
At first we were making good progress but we've definitely slowed down a bit lately. We are working on it full-time, trying to finish before we're surrounded by several feet of snow!
If may someone know,. How long the floor can last? And Generally a house on wheels?
thnks
weight on finished product ?
Just noticed one thing...is your tiny house plus the trailer going to be over height restrictions?
They said the overall height will be 13’ 2” and I think the height restrictions are 13’ 5”. Cutting it close but I think they should be fine.
head north to canada in the spring.messageand i will give you details.
why build anything that small with out using all of the 102 inch with allowed by federal law?
Dunno, but here in Europe that stuff isn't called plywood.
we are going to stsy with y,all i am a old salted and quess what the sea is calling thier is no other place to be to get total peace
they broke up
Earmuffs!!!! You should be wearing safety earmuffs when using noisy machinery!
A lot of talking and not really informative!
