You have done a fabulous job! Amazing your workmanship and attention to detail. No one else has showed a Gypsy Wagon build that detailed. I have learned a lot. Thank you from Alberta, Canada.
Your videos are exactly what I’ve been looking for! I have plans of building my own Vardo and these videos go a long way in helping me plan it out .. thank you for investing the time to make the videos from start to finish!
Someone commented in another video that their father had the skills to do this, but he, the son, had only been the 'go-for' and while he knew what a hammer was, could only envy what you are doing. Likewise for me. To give our fathers credit, at least we know what some of the tools are, which sadly, is way ahead of many people. I had some opportunity to help on a Habitat for Humanity build a couple of years ago and they helped me build my tiny house as well. Still, I am in awe. Also, I look at the brand new wood local builders are throwing out on the remodel next door and I think a couple of Vardos could be built for the homeless. I'm seriously pondering if I could do that. You are inspiring daring thoughts.
Love the gypsy build. However, you left a lot of good potential storage space unused under the sides of the tiny house on both sides. You could easily build boxes there that would hold almost anything you would want. Build them down to the fender and across the top of the fender.
Awesome, I really like the curved roof. Is it going to smell like cedar inside forever I wonder, or will it fade? Removable exterior covers for the windows would be nice, French pleats perhaps... and some hanging storage bins for by the wheels. A fold-out table. Awnings. The possibilities are endless :)
Great build. It's probably just me but. I would have toenailed the tongue and groove instead of face nailing. The bleed from the finish nails are going to stain
Two years on… how’s the trailer holding up? I’m planning on building one for when I retire. I have a question about the foam. When it’s fully cured, is it closed-cell or open-cell? I’ve worked with other kinds of foam (open-cell) and if you cut it it acts like a sponge and draws water into it. With that kind of foam it’s critical that you not trim it because of this.
Yeah, I know. I'm going to add some clear exterior sealant at the seam between the window sill and bottom trim. It was the best I could do with what I was working with.
I must have missed something, you installed the windows then took them out just to install them again? Also how do they stay in place? Clearly I’m no handy man

i realize I am kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Bryant Jayce i use flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Bryant Jayce I would suggest Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
Awesome video! Thanks!
Love your build. It is by far the most favorite tiny house I've seen. My trailer says I need to build one!
Very practical, I live in a tiny space and when I didn't have windows everything went mouldy. Plus I ain't a vampire 😂
looking great Jason glad you shoulder is feeling better :)
Thanks 👍
coming along nicely..
looking good sir.

I've seen several tiny house builds built using salvaged materials like that.
Looks great! Thanks for sharing

Love your video!
Thank you!!
This is a great series, Jason. I'd try this myself, but it would turn into a Tiny Dumpster. 😋🙂👍
Lol. There have been moments when I was thinking mine was going in that direction.
I love it

Cteative unique aad brilliant
What i do with the slanted window sill is let i t stick out about 1 1/2 inc. on outside so water drips past wall and trim under it.
Great build. It's probably just me but. I would have toenailed the tongue and groove instead of face nailing. The bleed from the finish nails are going to stain
the inset of the windows looks good-could you hinge windows to inside-made add screen to outside ,depending on location
I was wondering why you don't use ear protection?
I’m wondering what material you used for the roof. Thanks

It’s basically super glue and propane: My favorite sculpture medium. Bad stuff for asthma.
Does the construction adhesive have some flexibility?
Jason - You know... The bottom plates of the windows should really stick out past the siding a bit to get good drainage. (jus' sayin')
Yeah, I know. I'm going to add some clear exterior sealant at the seam between the window sill and bottom trim. It was the best I could do with what I was working with.
However, I think your little cabin looks really great; a nice overall design; wish I had one just like it.

Just the glass. The window frame and window panes are two separate parts.
And usually the window frames are attached with screws from the sides. The screws go through the window frame into the 2x4s.
windows are not practical in these sorts of designs. Just paint a window on it, if you need one. heh...
So instead of fixing the windows to swing open you decide to waste your viewers time, WTF!
