This is so great. Makes me super happy watching the video and remembering how much fun we had. : D Love you Annie. You're the coolest best friend I could hop for.
haha glad im not the only construction worker who doesn't care if housewrape is upside down. the bosses must get incentive to encourage it rite side up..love the work,,
You two are a force to be reckoned with. I was in construction for 20 yrs. Nothing makes me more happy than women who are so capable. I know it's only making frames, floors and a single side sloped roof but there are millions of men out there who cannot do this so it's a big high five to all the women who can. Brilliant work ladies.
I must have watched 40 or more DIY videos from all these construction dudes just trying to decide and learn what type of shed, foundation, and design I wanted. I spent hours on RUclips. Then in about 5 minutes of watching these two gals nail up this little house, I instantly new what I needed to do!. Unbelievable!! Thanks ladies. Well done. 👍👍
This is what I been telling my hole family! Let’s get land and build our tiny homes as we desire. I want to make this happen for myself , my parents, and my children. And my future children 💕💜 With amazing veggies, fruits, and fresh eggs 🥚
I’m trying to build a 480ft^2home for my family and these videos are really helping me! My father used to build houses from scratch, but he passed away when I was 12. I wish he was around to help me with it, but hopefully the talent to build is in my blood! Wish me luck :)
@@Pp-lb1zv tbh uits not hard to build them im just dissapointed because finding bloccks to build on heavy enough to hold down on a slant is hard. seing the fact that i kinda live in a screwed up portion of land. ive had some issues with them in the heavy winds sinse im in the middle of tornado valley
Kudos for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin finally got astronomical success with it.?
If only I had had friends prepared to help instead of being 'unavailable' when I needed some assistance. The good thing about these videos is that it shows how some things can be done without aid. Great job girls.
I've watched some of April's videos and I've never though to say this but I'm clad to see women following their dreams and not worrying about people's criticism,great video thanks a lot
They forgot to mention they actually have a lot of very specialized tools as well as materials. There is a lot edited out here. They have a tractor ladders, and laying down a roof is a whole thing in it's own. How did they hold jobs and support themselves through this endeavor? Did they only work on weekends?
@@GreatBirdOfHope they said it took 7 days. Maybe they each took 2 weeks off from work. Or maybe they make enough money from the you tube videos. Does it matter?

Hello my name is Adriano De Luca and I am an engineering professor at a university here in Brazil. We love your work. I took the liberty of showing this video to my students who are also developing a small smart and sustainable house, but built in aluminum. Your work showed how good planning with good humor and tranquility (at least this is the feeling of the video) is possible to do beautiful things Congratulations and thank you very much
So refreshing to see positive female role models for the new generation!! (and for us slightly older versions!) You gals are fantastic! All the best to you both. look forward to the new vids!
Wonderful job ladies! I have been a subscriber of Aprils for sometime now and have come across your channel with the connection to her. You have a great channel and I am now a subscriber! Great work here!
You ladies did an incredible job! I'm a 56 y/o woman and have always has this desire to build... My dad built homes (contractor) but lost him 24 yrs ago. One day maybe i'd like to help build these for the homeless! For now, just thinking about a little green house thats how I found you! Bless you both!
This is very inspiring. I enjoyed watching the step by step progress. There’s something about watching women do the build that gets me motivated to do my own build. Your mom gave you excellent advice....choose your friends wisely. So important in how your life turns out. You girls are too cool for words! ❤️
Great work. People generally take houses for granted. If only people understand the pain and effort that goes into building a project as small as a cabin like this one.
Loved hearing about your relationship with your mom, and how it inspired you to create your new home 🏡. You have some amazing friends behind your belt, thank you April 💕
I've got years of const experience and enjoyed watching you two think ahead. Actually, you two could have raised the walls alone but it will come to you later ... that's the fun of it, laughing at how hard we sometimes make things so work smarter not harder and it was fun watching, thanks.
Nice job, you two work well together. I loved hearing you talk about your mother, I got a little misty eyed and wistful; having lost my mother four years ago. I still miss my parents everyday. I would encourage everyone to spend as much time as you can with those you love. Your mother’s advice to you is sound and I am sure that your mother is going to be thrilled with the tiny house that you are building with your love. Bravo and applause.
This is so cool. This really reaffirms my thoughts of April. She's an inspiration to me and it's really cool to see her passing on her skills to others, in the real world. I swear she could end up on tv some day.
I love how shared how your mom loves and supports you and you love her right on back so much that you still want her to be near you often. Great moms are worth much more than diamonds. They are priceless!
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?
Awesome work Anne! April and you are a great inspiration, not only to me, but for my daughter (who is 7). I show her you don't have to be a boy/man to be able to use tools and build stuff! Thank you for that! Sean
As a Technology / Shop teacher I am so glad to see two capable women tackling projects like this. Both of you are an inspiration to men like me that want to see young ladies pursuing nontraditional careers. Thank you both.
Such a nice affirmation of your Mom. Warms a parent’s heart to hear that from their daughter. Looking forward to seeing it finished and photos of your Mom staying there! Blessings on you and April in all your endeavours.
I cant tell you enough how much friendships we all have made through this amazing woodworking journey online means!!! house looks amazing! Can't wait too see whats down the pipe for the two of you!!!
This is so beautiful 😭 this whole thing! Especially when you talk about your mom and your best friend! Of my goodness. This made my heart warm and fuzzy! ❤️
I was initially going to flame on how true the lumber you have was. But really, even though this is a simple build, I did enjoy the attention to detail. All boards staggered, weather proofing overlapped, window nails covered, always centering everything. I applaud you ladies, we’ll put together.
OMG I am sooooo Proud of you TWO... I have lived and redone soooo many RVs in my life... and have plans for a Tiny House with SLIDING out rooms... You'll give me inspiration... "Bravo"
You two together are a force of nature. Great job, looked like both of you had a good time together. I would think filming and putting together these RUclips videos would increase the completion time by a third or more on each project. I really like the over narration style that both of you use nowadays. Much better than trying to talk over machine tool, wind, and other ambient noises while filming. Looking foreword to the next one, thanks......
Great job ladies. As a union carpenter I must say you two have impressed me! Plus you did it in just seven days , wow what great workers you two are .A very well done ladies!!
It's gratifying to see April passing on to you the skills that she has just recently honed through the making of her own new building, as well as others prior, in Texas. That is what makes the community of which you two are part so very powerful. BTW, how long did it take to decide that the existing structure on your property was to be ignored for materials and reuse?
Totally awesome! My Gf's daughter and I are going to build a 16x10 tiny house on the other side of our front deck starting this Saturday when she comes home from college for the summer so she's not crashing on our pull out couch when she comes home for long weekends, holidays and summers while she's in school and when she comes home after she graduates to work. We live in Northwest Arizona and she goes to school at UNLV which is an hour and a half away. We decided on 16x 10 because she doesn't need a huge place, just somewhere to sleep, hang out and do her school work and a toilet room. were not putting a big door in hers like you did but we are putting a large window in the back that faces the mountains because she loves the view.
The empowering women ones are annoying. They act as if women couldn’t do this in the first place. I didn’t give a thought to the fact that these are women even though I normally picture men in construction.
@@DisturbedVette Yep, statistically, more men are are in construction than women, but that doesn't mean women can't do it. It's just that more women choose to not do it than men and most of the ones who do end up going for more interior work than general construction.
Let me just start by saying that you and your friend are bad ass and that you are an inspiration and a positive example of determination, love and courage.
I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely loved this video. You crushed it. Love that you did this all on your own and didn’t let any obstacles get in your way. You made one of the best buildings I’ve seen in a while! The attention to trim alignment and panel alignment is exceptional. Great work!!!!
this is so awesome its on my life list to build a tiny house, ive never built anything bigger then a book shelf, it be really awesome as im obsessed with tiny homes and making things :) great job
I love April Wilkerson's channel, and I assume this is why youTube suggested yours to my account. I look forward to checking out your content! If this video is any indication of what I can expect... I'm going to have a blast exploring your creative videos ;)
You and April remind me of me and my best friend too. We have been together for 3 years and this year is when we got so much closer together. We've graduated from high school now she's going to travel away for her university. I would never imagine how I'll be okay without her. She's my soul.
This is absolutely wonderful! I'm a 63 year old woman and would love to build a tiny house (part of why I'm watching), but watching you girls work was wonderful. Keep "Making"! I think I will have to enlist my "making" son to help at this point, though, and I'm sure it's going to take more than 7 days. :)
I appreciate the inspiration! I'm a female who whats to build a tiny home for my retirement. You've help clear some doubts! Thanks! Totally supporting both channels!👍😀💛🛠
I am currently starting my build on a Travel Trailer frame and this video was very helpful. With construction of the floors and building of the walls. Lots of good idea's. Thank You.
Finally, a video that shows women actually building the house instead of standing in front of a finished one and claiming they built it. I really liked watching the leveling process.
0:35 _"What have I been doing carrying 2x4s one at a time my whole life??"_ that's just awesome. empowered women make the world better for everyone. also, really funny.
Perfect P: _"Calling this empowerment as if it's something women normally couldn't do is patronizing. Don't you see that?"_ I’m willing to consider the possibility that I was unintentionally being patronizing, but as of now I think you’ve parsed what I said incorrectly and in one of the least charitable ways possible. so, let’s define "empowerment", and see if that resolves the gap here: as I see it, there’re two states we can describe as *disempowered:* when a person lacks *real power* in society, and when a person *feels like they lack power* in a society. that may not be the best possible phrasing, but let me give an example: if we had elected Hillary, we would have raised the real power of American women _on average_ by a tiny amount, and the real power of *_one_* American woman by a lot. however, we would have raised the *_perceived_* power of American women in general by a lot. this would have been a good thing because more women would grow up believing they had some kind of a chance in the world that their mothers didn’t have. in the long run, that would have made a lot more difference than just the increase in Hillary’s personal power. on that basis, we can take an "empowered woman" to be a woman who is literally empowered, or to be one who feels she has power to accomplish what *she* wants to accomplish in society. do you disagree with this definition of "empowerment"? I’m not claiming that this is the only definition, or even that it’s the right one, but this is where I’m starting from. if you don’t disagree substantially, then let’s consider what I actually said: *"empowered women make the world better for everyone."* please note that I didn’t say anything about the situation, I only mentioned women, and that in general. it’s reasonable, obviously, to infer that I mean that Anne and April are empowered. if I meant they are like Secretaries of State because they can carry more than one 2x4, then that could be patronizing-but would also clearly be *_stupid_* and literally false-but notice that this depends on the "real power" meaning of empowered. what I really intended, and what I hope is obvious to Anne and April is that it’s nice to see them doing what *they* want to do and feeling powerful. this depends on the "perceived power" meaning of empowered. in other words, if you’re getting to the conclusion that I’m being patronizing based on the "real power" meaning, then you’re starting with the inference that I’m stupid. now, obviously you may be arguing from a different definition of "empowered", but you haven’t shared your definition, just asserted your feeling of offense as fact. you’re also most likely operating from the inference that I’m a man, which is at least statistically likely. would it change your interpretation of what I said if you thought I was a woman?
Housebuilders; once you build one, you can never stop building more. A lifetime of building Houses is usually on the way.... Tiny houses are IN now. Economical residential solutions. Dry, warm, clean, structurally sound, low cost, easy to maintain, takes up less footprint, extremely comfortable and cozy, fun-filled enjoyment living. These Houses can be equipped with very compact, superbly designed wood stoves that cook and heat, and kerosene lamps. Can also add kerosene cooking burner stoves or mini gas canister stoves. Should you cut more windows and add skylights to the roof, it gives the interior lots of ambient light with less need for electricity lighting. Consider checking to see if you can use a SaniCan (HoneyPot) as an approved outhouse (40 hours by 10 people duration model). The pump out truck is not expensive. 8 55-gallon steel drums can be set up to hold your cooking trap water (also served by pump out trap truck) while your food scrap offal can be composted. This would be a house totally operating without water or electricity, yet in highest standards of hygiene. Your supply potable water may come in the form of delivered purified water (purified water jug delivery, in up to even 10-gallon jugs). 10 of these will last a long time. You can build a tub-rinse bathtub bathroom inside the house. This the Japanese style bathing where you scrub down first then rinse off with small pails of water. This water can be simply tanker trucked in, usually filling a set of 4 to 8 food-grade plastic 55-gallon drums. You might want to add a bed of gravel to the ground and jumping-jack compaction it before setting the foundation deck blocks in place. This was indeed an awesome tiny house build.
Brilliant ,beautiful, inspiring great tiny house... I would really like to know how much amount of money did that cost to make it? Thank you so much for the video
The tiny home is built around open space so it has easy access to sunlight. Natural light is mainly used for the home. Stone & wood seem to be the most used material. There is a proportionate amount of windows to the house. I really like how open & solid the structure is.
i know it dont matter to much being a small fort but stagger your seams on all sheeting... whether it's walls or floors it adds to sheer strength and the way it's done. good job ladies!
This is so great. Makes me super happy watching the video and remembering how much fun we had. : D Love you Annie. You're the coolest best friend I could hop for.
April I love ur video u did inside me to do the fence last summer n I did the roof extension too good job girls way to go
Hop. I see what ya did there. LOL
True professionalism right there. Well done.
April Wilkerson you are awesome.

Yep!
Literally my sentiments 😭 I sent this to my best friend. I’m going to make her a tiny home to stay in.
Lmbo!!!! So touching but funny !
If only I had had friends prepared to help instead of being 'unavailable' when I needed some assistance. The good thing about these videos is that it shows how some things can be done without aid. Great job girls.
Yeah, I usually say yes the first couple of times. I become unavailable when it turns into a pattern.

I think I will have to enlist my "making" son to help at this point, though, and I'm sure it's going to take more than 7 days. :)
Best of luck on your build!
So empowering. So emotional watching this video and listening to the story of bonding and girl power!
I sent this link to my niece and told her that "See the women doing it for themselves!"
Stacey E, You're Nasty.
April is AWESOME ☺
Great job, had to laugh at 9:11 Texas girl in a coat and Seattle girl in short sleeves...lol great collaboration from two talented women!
Hahaha I teased her about that a lot!
That's hilarious! I didn't even notice that. Thanks for pointing that out!! hehee
It has been pretty warm in Seattle this year. You may tease April about the sleeves, but she was always in shorts. ;) You two rocked this!
Living in the Seattle area, and having lived in Texas I can relate!

I love this little build. I lived in a 12 by 24 house for 5 years built by my grandparents. It was a great experience. I kinda miss it.
I'm jealous! I've always wanted to live in a tiny house. Maybe someday!
I appreciate the inspiration! I'm a female who whats to build a tiny home for my retirement. You've help clear some doubts! Thanks! Totally supporting both channels!👍😀💛🛠
Awesome! Thank you!
Y'all girls or off the chain, y'all have showed me how to build a house, thank you
Ahhh there is nothing like two boss ass motivating women building a home!
Alicia cyriac LMAO like that's a every day thing !
A. Ortega it *is* an everyday thing. There are a lot of women who can build houses, you just aren’t lucky enough to know any lol.
I wouldn't build anything w/o putting down concrete footings, especially in soft soils and where you get a lot of precipitation
They literally put down concrete footing in the beginning did you even watch the video!
Wonderful, heartwarming tribute to your mom.
I am currently starting my build on a Travel Trailer frame and this video was very helpful. With construction of the floors and building of the walls. Lots of good idea's. Thank You.
Glad you found it helpful! Best of luck on your build!!
What gauge nails are you using at 3:51 to put those 2x4's together. Was that the only support you were using to keep them together?
Finally, a video that shows women actually building the house instead of standing in front of a finished one and claiming they built it. I really liked watching the leveling process.
Lovely storytelling Anne!
Thank you Ellen!!
Ehhh....Sigh
Wow. I've been looking at tiny houses and different floor plans for the longest time. This is absolutely incredible and inspiring for me. 😎🙌🏽
So glad to hear it!
What a beautiful gesture for your mom🤗
Nice job ladies!
Thanks so much Shawn! Your cabin is a huge inspiration.
0:35 _"What have I been doing carrying 2x4s one at a time my whole life??"_
that's just awesome. empowered women make the world better for everyone.
also, really funny.
Calling this empowerment as if it's something women normally couldn't do is patronizing. Don't you see that?
Perfect P:
_"Calling this empowerment as if it's something women normally couldn't do is patronizing. Don't you see that?"_
I’m willing to consider the possibility that I was unintentionally being patronizing, but as of now I think you’ve parsed what I said incorrectly and in one of the least charitable ways possible.
so, let’s define "empowerment", and see if that resolves the gap here:
as I see it, there’re two states we can describe as *disempowered:* when a person lacks *real power* in society, and when a person *feels like they lack power* in a society.
that may not be the best possible phrasing, but let me give an example: if we had elected Hillary, we would have raised the real power of American women _on average_ by a tiny amount, and the real power of *_one_* American woman by a lot. however, we would have raised the *_perceived_* power of American women in general by a lot.
this would have been a good thing because more women would grow up believing they had some kind of a chance in the world that their mothers didn’t have. in the long run, that would have made a lot more difference than just the increase in Hillary’s personal power.
on that basis, we can take an "empowered woman" to be a woman who is literally empowered, or to be one who feels she has power to accomplish what *she* wants to accomplish in society.
do you disagree with this definition of "empowerment"? I’m not claiming that this is the only definition, or even that it’s the right one, but this is where I’m starting from.
if you don’t disagree substantially, then let’s consider what I actually said: *"empowered women make the world better for everyone."*
please note that I didn’t say anything about the situation, I only mentioned women, and that in general. it’s reasonable, obviously, to infer that I mean that Anne and April are empowered.
if I meant they are like Secretaries of State because they can carry more than one 2x4, then that could be patronizing-but would also clearly be *_stupid_* and literally false-but notice that this depends on the "real power" meaning of empowered.
what I really intended, and what I hope is obvious to Anne and April is that it’s nice to see them doing what *they* want to do and feeling powerful. this depends on the "perceived power" meaning of empowered.
in other words, if you’re getting to the conclusion that I’m being patronizing based on the "real power" meaning, then you’re starting with the inference that I’m stupid.
now, obviously you may be arguing from a different definition of "empowered", but you haven’t shared your definition, just asserted your feeling of offense as fact.
you’re also most likely operating from the inference that I’m a man, which is at least statistically likely.
would it change your interpretation of what I said if you thought I was a woman?
HoldShiftt2Run easy or not, the only help we got was shown in the video. Join us in the year 2019, won’t you?
Woman Power !!! I love it :D
Its so nice to see what other people on the world build .D
I stumbled across this video in a RUclips rabbit hole. With that being said, I'm a builder, a do it yourself'er. This is simply amazing.
Thanks so much!
I’m just starting woodworking. Thank you for being women who inspire me. ✌️
If we can do it, You can do it!
Housebuilders; once you build one, you can never stop building more.
A lifetime of building Houses is usually on the way....
Tiny houses are IN now. Economical residential solutions. Dry, warm, clean, structurally sound, low cost, easy to maintain, takes up less footprint, extremely comfortable and cozy, fun-filled enjoyment living.
These Houses can be equipped with very compact, superbly designed wood stoves that cook and heat, and kerosene lamps. Can also add kerosene cooking burner stoves or mini gas canister stoves. Should you cut more windows and add skylights to the roof, it gives the interior lots of ambient light with less need for electricity lighting. Consider checking to see if you can use a SaniCan (HoneyPot) as an approved outhouse (40 hours by 10 people duration model). The pump out truck is not expensive.
8 55-gallon steel drums can be set up to hold your cooking trap water (also served by pump out trap truck) while your food scrap offal can be composted.
This would be a house totally operating without water or electricity, yet in highest standards of hygiene. Your supply potable water may come in the form of delivered purified water (purified water jug delivery, in up to even 10-gallon jugs). 10 of these will last a long time. You can build a tub-rinse bathtub bathroom inside the house. This the Japanese style bathing where you scrub down first then rinse off with small pails of water. This water can be simply tanker trucked in, usually filling a set of 4 to 8 food-grade plastic 55-gallon drums.
You might want to add a bed of gravel to the ground and jumping-jack compaction it before setting the foundation deck blocks in place.
This was indeed an awesome tiny house build.
Brilliant ,beautiful, inspiring great tiny house... I would really like to know how much amount of money did that cost to make it? Thank you so much for the video
This is dope ima build a tiny house in my parents backyard so they can rent it out
The tiny home is built around open space so it has easy access to sunlight. Natural light is mainly used for the home. Stone & wood seem to be the most used material. There is a proportionate amount of windows to the house. I really like how open & solid the structure is.
thank yall for sharing
& doing something wonderful & important together.
appreci8 family
Awesome job ladies
