  • 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 🎥

This is very inspiring. I also have kids that may never get to move out unless they do something similar. I’ll keep checking it out on my trips by. If you hear the air horns , it’s likely me.

      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.

    I just bought a house in the country. It's 1 acre, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, for $325k... I decided to just buy a house right now instead of waiting any longer. It took me 7 years to save up. I bought it in cash. Zero mortgage. I'm 38, unfortunately. You seem to be ahead of the game here, for sure. Great work. I did look into buying a pre-built Tiny home but needed land with a leech field installed and utilities. No matter what, if you don't own the land, it's expensive. The great thing is that you can always resale this tiny home and get all your money back! If you want, get yourself some 5G internet in that bad boy! A tiny home here in the States, basically the same one you have here, is 70k USD finished with a sleeping loft. OH and routers are absolutely amazing to have. So happy when you pulled the router out 👍

    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 TH-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. Again, great work, Drew!

    I watched again last night and thought of some points to mention for the inside.
    - You might consider stairs to the loft instead of a ladder. I've seen tiny homes that put drawers or cabinets in the stairs for storage. If high enough, a small stackable washer and dryer combo might work. Also, going down stairs instead of a ladder when sick would be easier.
    - A similar design to your couch/bed in the camper van would provide storage for the living area.
    - A fold down table on a wall would save walking room when not in use and could double as a dining and office surface.
    - A countertop toaster oven can do most anything a full size oven can and could be put in a cabinet overhead to save room.
    - If you go for a free standing bathroom sink instead of a vanity, you might consider niches or shelves with baskets for towels and extra bathroom products.
    I'm sure you've thought of these, but I thought I'd go ahead and mention them. Again, can't wait to see the inside! Best wishes!
