A 700 dollar table is a little unrealistic. Glad yall got a nice free table though.
No kidding 700$ ? No thank you. Table looks nice but that's way too expensive for what it is!
Pretty darn nice for 8k! Just a note on installing corrugated metal roofing, the screws should be on the peak of the corrugation, not in the valleys. Not gonna be a concern for a while but eventually the seal on the washer will degrade and since it's in the low part a little water will eventually seep through.
Thanks for that tip. They are done but I'm still building. I will keep that in my mind. Again, Thanks!
Yes. True
Thank you! You're absolutely right regarding the screw placement on the roof panels, and unfortunately I didn't learn this until after I had installed it - there are even some guides online that say it's fine to put screws in the valleys, but this is not good practice as you point out. In any case, after learning this I put a generous amount of Lexel around each screw to help with waterproofing, and so far there have been no issues or leaks in the past 1.5 years, even despite several heavy rain and snow storms. In any event, I plan to actually replace the roof this summer in favor of a higher-grade material, and Iuckily I will definitely have more experience going into that. This project was certainly a huge learning process! 😁
@@ericrohm2539 Amazing how much goes into building. Hope you are enjoying your tiny house! I'll be building my own within the year. Thanks for sharing yours with us, it is encouraging to see others do successfully it on a tight budget.
@@dustman96 I'm loving my house! Best risky decision ever. I'm working on a website containing loads more information on my construction and budgeting, so I'll link that here once I'm done with it. Feel free to ask any questions for now and good luck with your build!
Nice. This makes sense. $100k tiny homes don't.
People with deep pockets building $100,000 plus Tiny Homes are ruining it for the rest of us. I love what they've done.
Very nice and the price is even better. This is what the tiny house movement was about. Actually being able to build a tiny home for close to nothing. But unfortunately someone got ahold of them and now you can be looking a $100,000 for one or more.
Again very good job. God bless. 🙏💞🙏
No, it's just not practical for everyone to DIY it and not use all new materials. While people don't want to suffer, so they spend on making sure it is tailored to their needs... So that's all just the reality of people buying homes and needing them to meet their needs, with not all of them able to do it the lowest cost way. Add, it ain't just single people and couples anymore, lots of families now means they had to get bigger too, for a reality check on what actually happened...
Besides, $100,000 isn't what you think anymore because the value of the dollar has dropped. Even from just 2000 to now, $1 in 2000 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1.62 today. In short, $100,000 today would have been just $61,728 in 2000... Add, supply chain issues, lower averages wages, higher prices for just about everything. The adjusted price difference dips even lower. To show a massive amount of that is just how bad the economy is now and yeah, most people never noticed it happening...
But as bad as $100,000 may sound it's nothing compared to the traditional housing market that the average is starting to exceed $400,000 nationally and most of those can never be tailored to individual owners and their needs, because custom building large houses starts 50% higher and easily goes over 4x higher in cost, running large homes into the millions for an apples to apples comparison...
Besides, one of the points of the whole movement was to get out of the rat race, part of that means people should not be comparing their homes to each other all the time. People like this couple prove nothing is stopping people from going for the lowest price possible except themselves!
Aside from the messed up economy, it's your choices that matter and not other people's!
@@ZeoCyberG keep babbling because that is all you wrote is babble.
God bless🙏💞🙏
@@kimsikorski5691 No, just pointing out the reality to your fantasy. Sorry but you're just trolling. You're not going to learn everything from just watching youtube videos, a lot you have to learn from actually doing it. But hey, if you think you know everything just go build one yourself and see what happens... Good luck!
@@ZeoCyberG see how you think you know me to say I have to actually build something to know.
Well I have built and have made many different things.
Not trolling my dear, that is you. May God help you see the way. God can help anyone do wonders....
God bless 🙏💞🙏
@@kimsikorski5691 Sorry but if you've built then you should know better than say nonsense like you've been doing. Roof doesn't leak just because they screwed at the bottom instead of the peak. In fact, unless you're careful the peak can be more dangerous because people who haven't built before are more likely to do things like either over or under drive the screws and leave dimples or gaps for water to get through. While screws are screwed to the bottom for when attaching metal sheets to the sides. So lets not pretend it's never done that way and automatically means leaks when it obviously doesn't!
I never thought of converting a cargo trailer into a tiny home in this way. What a great idea. Such a beautiful, cozy home.
Horrible idea IMO. His reason for selecting an enclosed trailer makes no sense at all. Be much easier to start with a car trailer/hauler without a dovetail rear. They can carry between 5-12 thousand pounds depending on which one you want. Not to mention they are usually half the price of a cargo trailer.
This shows that with basic skills, people can create very inexpensive dwelling places. Now it's up to society to accept communities of tiny house units to be an additional housing option for people.
I'm not asking for acceptance. The people in charge certainly don't want this because it cuts them out of of the equation. I love my tiny house.... luckily I live in the middle of the woods away from prying eyes.
I want to learn carpentry and do this for my family
⁷
Housing should be recognized as a basic human right, but until this is the case, I want to show and help others create their own houses for as little cost as possible, and to not be tied down with debt by a mortgage.
@@ericrohm2539 thanks so much for this I definitely hope many people learn from you
That woodstove is too close to those pillows. Please be careful.
I assume that a wall with heat shield is going up.
Smart guy! He realized that where he was living was expensive and he looked into an option where he can save money.
Great job Eric!! He looked for bargains for the items that he needed for his tiny home. Now they have a tiny home for life. Having a mortgage or renting an apartment is expensive. Especially now in 2022 apartment rents have skyrocketed.
Great planning and they have everything they need in a tiny home. Many people are choosing tiny living to save money.
The toilet as described is combining liquid and solid waste together and eventually the liquid settles out and goes out to the ground thus it is black water, or raw sewage going into the ground.
These young people are so resourceful. It's a pleasure to see how much they can accomplish.
Very cozy, comfortable home. And they are saving tons of money! Great job y'all!
One of my favorite builds. It’s effecient, jist the right soze and have the essentials.
It’s amazing what they have done. Small sink must be a real headache for whomever does the dishes. It looks so small on the outside but huge inside. Overall great job!
Great first attempt at building their first tiny house. Very resourceful. I look forward to his next build.
Wow amazing video dear. Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous little tiny home🤗👍🏼💙💚
Wow! Terrific home!
this is extremely inspiring thank you for sharing!!!
Wow! This is so awesome 😲 Thank you for sharing us this video. It can help lots of people who aspire to live in a tiny house without spending too much.
Seriously-you’re actually showing a table that’s nearly 700.00?? No table in the WORLD is worth this amount of money.
True, but no other commercials.
Really good job. Great use of space. It is beautiful.
I really thought about what Zhenya spoke about regarding about having less. Getting overwhelmed is very familiar to me. Her words alone were very comforting and encouraging to me to downsize. I’m going to start with those baby steps and hopefully work my way up to a full gallop.
Great job. Thank u for showing is your Cool place...peace..
Great job. Nice cozy place.
What an absolutely fabulous little home. I really like how you can walk stairs and stand up before going to bed and that the loft is not to squishy.
Well done great use of space and recycling materials to keep the cost down! Awesome!
The bare necessities of life,that's all we need these days with prices of homes going through the roof making it impossible for younger generation getting in the market.Very sad situation.🙁🙁🙏🙏
I’d be really surprised if that roofing was galvanized aluminum. Lol
I misspoke in the video; they are in fact galvanized steel panels 🙂
@@ericrohm2539 I figured you just misspoke. Great video though
A very nice design, indeed!
Fantastic build and the inside is very cosy as well.
Smart idea to use a cargo trailer and remove the roof. Much less expensive than buying a trailer and building it all up from the bed. I may have missed it, what size trailer did he start with? Nicely done.
The trailer was an enclosed V-nose cargo trailer measuring in at 7'x16', with the point of the nose extending 2' forward from this, and a ceilng height of 6.5', which I extended later on.
@@ericrohm2539 Thank you for the info. Very helpful.
Cargo trailers are typically 2x the cost of a regular car hauler trailer. Much cheaper and way easier to start with a car hauler. Complete headache doing it the way he did.
Love this build.
It seems that if the water and propane are more organized over time, you can capture even more space!
Well done!!!!!
An extraordinary house with such lovely wood throughout...Also, I love the beautiful cat.
Awesome build👏👏👏👏
Amazing 👍👍
Perfect!
8k....very impressive
beautiful work. The stairs can be drawers
Fantástica a pequena 🏠.
Be careful that tent stove ,Does not dry out your guitar I recommend moving it if burning for heat….
Guitars are sensitive to heat and humidity and temperature changes
Lovely cozy tiny home👌Wonderful work. Inspiring🧡 I love the layout!💜 Do you have some land or renting some land? 🙏
The house seems spacious inside, not very visible from the outer look, so interior has been designed definitely wisely.
So doing this. I’m so tired of paying 3grand a month for rent
Even a $10k tiny house for you pays for itself in what you'd save on rent in less than 4 months! I'd say absolutely go for it! And if you need advice or resources I'm happy to help!
What an awesome build I love your home very practical and inexpensive and you did an awesome job on it my hat's off to you great job😊😊😊😊
Omg I friggin love love love it!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💝💫💝💫💝💫
Cozy
I really like the inside arrangement
Its actually very good job
really smart use of space.
Dude this is so cool
Lovely couple. 🙂
That's all fine and dandy, no mentions insurance and safties, place where you parking it,
Good job...love the cat
Well done.
Cost controls...good drive to create and finish.
Freaking gorgeous and I LOVE THE BATHROOM/Shower ❤
Hope it works out well
Niceeee ❤
This is a great tiny house, but I feel like the house needs a better electrical system overall. I think the roof has enough space for at least 1000w of solar panels that could probably be put on a tilt and swivel arm with a locking mechanism if needed. I also feel that an actual high wattage inverter and maybe 3-4kWh LiFePO4 that could do at least 2000w would be super beneficial to replace the stove with an induction cooker, a shower with an electric water heater, and an electric heater rather than a wood stove.
Fully agree, and I'm planning/investing in a much more powerful DIY energy system, but I was running out of time and money so I just went with the Bluetti product for now.
Awesome!!!👠🚌👠
Cross brace on the wooden door is done incorrectly.
Seems to have been working just fine so far 🤷♂️
Do you now or do you plan to help other self-builders? I have the money and knowledge to build my own Tiny House on wheels, I can also buy land (It's pretty affordable in my part of Florida) but I am clueless when it comes the solar. You all did an amazing job!
Love the Buddha touches
Two Questions: 1) What is the size of the original cargo trailer? 2) Can the house be moved the same as other tiny houses can?
1) 7'x16' with a V nose extending 2' forward from that, so a line from the very back to the tip of the nose measures 18'
2) Yes! I built it in Georgia and towed it up to Virginia with a 3/4 ton grade rental truck, a dodge ram I believe.
@@ericrohm2539 Thank you for getting back to me. I just love your home!
I'm wondering the true total cost! Including, solar, rain collection, foundation materials, land cost/rent/taxes, transportation rental/delivery charge of trailer to site, etc, etc, etc.!? How are they going to move it to another location, if needed!? Be Well!!
It has a reg truck hitch on it. It can be towed anywhere
@@coreycharles7808 I understand that, I was looking for information if the owners have a vehicle of their own that will be able to tow such a structure! I hope this is clarification to your comment! Be Well!!
We rented a 3/4 ton engine truck from Enterprise and towed it up from Georgia to Virginia! Surprisingly no problems with that!
"pecos table, you can leave it in your will because it will last for a life time"
🤣
Such a precious beautiful tiny home. I love ❤️ all the wood you’ve used. Like a tiny lil rustic cabin in the woods. I noticed u have a couple of Buddha statues and wanted u to know that Jesus loves ❤️ u. 😊
Can they help me build a tiny house? It's necessary for me to move away from New York.
Ok, that PECOS table is almost $700...
Where did u get the trailer? Was it a cargo?
As this is on a trailer, what is the height? East Coast 13'6" is the norm for trailer heights. Is this still capable of being pulled somewhere? I think remote solar panels are the way to go; one build had them on a trailer, easily positioned to maximize exposure. The cat's name? Nice build.
Looks like a nice tiny home, what size trailer did you start with ?
7'x16' V nose enclosed cargo trailer
Такая очаровательная, милая пара - счастья вам и успехов во всём.
What's the size of the cargo trailer? I'm saving up to do this with a 7x14.
Using a tent stove is a pretty damn good idea.
How do you legally have this parked here in VA? Apparently, there are all kinds of restrictions to the point it’s illegal. How did you find a way around this? I’m curious because this would be such a solution for my own situation, but I’ve always been under the impression I’d have to leave VA, since tiny houses aren’t legal here.
because it has wheels its categorized as an RV. virginia doesnt have laws against living in a rv, but some counties may. this is often how these tiny homes are legal.
The laws for tiny houses vary by county, and sometimes even by city. They are legal in my city.
👌👌👌
How tall is it? Thinking of building one with a loft and need to know ho tall it can be without hitting bridges on the highway
Does silicone stick to roofing felt?
Beautiful.
How to find somewhere to build it though if you're living in an apartment in the city? How did you find a place for it as you were building?
Look for RV storage lots for rent. That's where I built mine, though any lot or plot of land will work. If you can get it inside a warehouse- even better. Just make sure that the owners are OK with you doing construction on their property.
Hey I think you guys build a really nice tiny house ❤
Wow
What was the dimensions please?
What's the length? The price is great👌
7' wide, 18' from the bumper to the front "V" nose, 11' high from crest of ceiling to floor at the narrow part, 7' from floor to ceiling (loft) while under the loft, 4' from loft floor to crest of ceiling, ~12.75' from road to highest point of house roof
For some reason I keep getting stuck on the I’s and My’s instead of “our” or “we” Do they share this trailer?
I'm curious as to how much the land was
You guys never speak about the state laws for your home landing or other thing or insurance That is not posable to get mostly I heard ?what ever city you live , if you go 30 -40 mile out of the city you can buy a place very cheap (depending on the size of the house ) so if you can’t drive your house why the heck going through all this difficulty ?im not sure you can even insure it 🤔and is so darn small ,don’t you want have kids ?by the way you done wonderful job and looks beautiful 👍
There is no livable plot of land or property you could buy for $8k anywhere in the US. I also have school in the city, so I would not be able to live 30 miles away and commute every day. No, it is not insured, but if anything breaks I can fix it myself for far less than a monthly insurance plan would cost. And no, this size wouldn't be suitable for kids, which is why we're lucky not to have any 😁
@@ericrohm2539 thank you for answering all my questions?
What was the card game you were playing?
It's a card/board game called Sequence where you place tokens on the board on spots that correspond with the cards you have in your hand, aiming for 2 lines of a certain amount. It's pretty fun, me and my family play it all the time, but I've never heard of anyone else playing it
@@nnooaahhnnooaahh wow, thank you for responding. I'm going to look that game up. It seems like a cool game and it looked like a board with cards that my girlfriend had a long time ago. Thank you so much, I appreciate it. 💛
never put a wood stove so close to your fabric couch.
NO FALSE gods!
I need one can you build one for me
Virginia? Where ?
I’m in 🙋♂️
L O V E I T !!!!!!!!
It started off with two people but in his conversation he only said We after she said we and us, for him it was all I, I.
So the woman just exists to take pictures I guess. Not ONCE has he said 'we' only I, I, I, I. What a self-involved tour. She did get to talk about the decor, and she actually knows the world 'we.' Goodness! Run Zhenya, RUN!
Just wondering is your roof leaking yet ? You put the roofing hold down bolts on wrong!
ruclips.net/video/wMdOnxBmu0E/видео.html
That only matters to long term, when the seal on the screws eventually wears away and the screws needs to be replaced, which takes years... It doesn't effect it now with it all new! Though, doing it this way is an advantage for moving the home as it's stronger for withstanding wind and making sure the roof stays on when moving it down the highway at speeds up to 60+ MPH and possible head winds pushing that over 100...
While a self resealing membrane could have been placed below the metal to provide a second level of protection that will make replacing the screws more about making sure the roof is properly secured...
@@ZeoCyberG Good Luck to late now anyway! Get some buckets ready!
@@stewartatwood7271 No luck required if they just keep an eye on it and do regular maintenance. Seriously, you're blowing it way out of proportions... Even done the other way you'd still have to replace the screws when they wear out...
@@ZeoCyberG Nonsense, the grommets will allow both rainwater and condensation into the hole in the roofing. This comes about through capillary action.
