  • After graduating from university, this entrepreneurial young couple kick started their next phase of life by building an incredible eco tiny house together!
    Support our show: / livingbig
    Unbelievably, Sam and Simone managed to construct this tiny house as a DIY project for only AU$17,000 which works out to be just over US$12,000. In this video, we discuss how they were able to construct their tiny house for such an affordable price and tips for building tiny houses for less. Especially in a country like Australia, where the material cost of building can be very high!
    Read More: www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com...
    As students of wildlife and environmental sciences, the couple now have plans to regenerate the property where the tiny house is parked. They are also using the tiny house as a base to launch a new online business. I hope you enjoy this full video tour of this stunning tiny home.

We (two women) build a earthbag house ourselves for 1500 euro with no prior building experience other than we learned ourselves. The biggest problem was men who thought we needed help and try to force that help upon us while we said no. We build on a community garden And looped around the rules. We don't live there but it has everything to live there. It was an experiment.

      It seems to be mostly an American thing to knock the idea of living near/with parents. As an American, I was trained from early on to "leave the nest" as soon as I turned 18 (or stay and pay bills while living under the equivalent of martial law). I married my husband, went to live in his country for about two years and learned things are WAY different for most other cultures.
      Personally, I think it's great. I own almost four acres of land and I have every intention of sharing it with my children should they (hopefully) choose to stay close!

      Some of it comes from jealousy, some comes from people that feel they're lying about "doing everything themselves" or are "selfmade debt free", and some people just find small things to complain about because they're bored.
      Honestly I fit into the later category more often then I care to admit; but in this case I hope people just admire what was built and see the value in it for that. Maybe you can do something like what was done in this video? Maybe you can find people to help you just like these people did? Take control of your life and don't look down on others because they had help come from a more immediate source.

In the US, livestock is the #1 contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from raising the food to feed the animals before slaughter. From what I've seen and read, being vegetarian or pescatarian can be very healthy and helps lower our impact on the environment, I can't see why being vegan would be any different.

You're allowed to keep a caravan on your property when you already have a house as everyone on the property is assumed to be making use of the house (whether they are or not). If you are on a vacant block, you must already have plans to build a house submitted to the council otherwise it's not allowed. Most people are taking advantage of being remote but really it only takes one nasty person to dobb them in to the council......

      Another terrific house, and a young couple living their life right! Loved the colours, material, and layout--and not having to do conversion price-wise, since Aus $, NZ $, and Canadian $ are roughly equivalent. But, I was thrown by the height of the loft - surely that was higher than the 13'6" (4.1m) that we North Americans are usually bounded by for road-worthiness? That extra bit of height would make a huge difference in the only drawback tiny houses tend to have...

    Thanks God I live in a culture where being close to the family is not only normal, but praised! In my country, if you started working at 18 and you stayed in your parents house for 8 years, even with a minimal paying job, you would be able to buy your own house with CASH! No debt, no slavery for the rest of your life! So literally, you could be around 26 years old and already have your own house! That is, if you work hard and are smart enough and you save your money and dont waste it on stupid things like new iphones every 2 years, expensive clothes and other unnecessary luxuries just bcoz others around you have it. I am so grateful to have two loving parents who were beyond happy that all these years I stayed with them! It wasnt a problem for them just bcoz I stayed in my room till I saved money. What parent would consider this a problem? Mine were happy that I spent time with them and its not like I took something from them. If I wasnt there, that same room would be empty. What parent wouldnt want to be near his child? This is absurd to me. I dont understand why would I pay the rent to some stranger and make him rich and I could be at my parents home for free and save for my own house? And one day when they will not be able to take care of themselves, I will be there for them and help them physically, emotionally and financially just as they did with me. Its called THE CIRCLE OF LIFE!
    So many "independent" people here with huge debt around their neck. Keep praising yourself and call others pathetic. That tells a lot about someones character! It is so clear that many are just jealous and trying to disguise it with looking down upon those who have parents who actually care for their children.
    *** I was referring ONLY to comments who were disrespectful and are now deleted by youtube or moderator, not those who say that the title is misleading bcoz it kinda is (actually, I see that the title is changed now).

Kudos to them for building it themselves - they saved a bundle. Add another feather to your cap Bryce - another great find. Take care my friend. ;)

    They had such a large advantage. Her family had land and her father is a builder. They were also able to live with family for a year. Sounds like they've benefitted greatly from her father's hard work of acquiring the land and possibly providing the home they lived in for a year.

      so what? jealous ? people work hard so that their children can have better lives. Then their children can choose to do the same for grand children. Building off previous generations is how wealth are built. Meanwhile many young people don't even want to have kids because they then have to take care of them.

      Just a small reminder to people looking to do the same - Just going out collecting wood like that from reserves and national parks is illegal in many states in Australia and if caught you could face fines, so please be careful. Sometimes you might be able to get a permit. Fallen wood is expected to be left to provide habitat for native mammals, reptiles, insects, plants and fungi.

    • @bushwitch
      @bushwitch 5 років тому

      @RoyalBob. Sure, because if everyone has the same idea there will be nothing left in the reserve. It's the same reason that picking flowers is illegal in the reserves and in WA could cost you a $2000 fine.

    Love the personal reflections at the end of this one. Brice your lament on not doing something similar right after College was so real and heartfelt. It was super validating because here you are already semi-famous-ish thinking the same thing as I. I can ease up on myself a bit for missing the bus right away in life, seeing someone who has a life that many would call "dream" or "Ideal" shows that things are not always what they seam and that people change, everyone has regrets or things they'd do differently and that journey through the two is called life. RESPECT.

    Great video but would love it if they went (even briefly) into detail about a) how they access/empty compost, b) how they get their clean water/where they put their gray/grey water, c) how/what material they built upon the trailer frame as foundation, d) whether they framed in wood or something else, e) what the floor is made of, f) where they get their electricity, g) what type of permit is needed and what type of build is this considered at the govt (county/shire) level - is it considered a non-permanent, non-dwelling trailer and does that circumvent the permit process? ...and so on. Practical things that viewers could use in their own design. I love the design elements, but I would like to see a balanced incorporation of the functions, systems, permits and build techniques. Including that will help people to take the next step and DIY. I agree, many of us don't have relatives with free land or skills in construction - so that type of info would be helpful imho.
