I'm in love with this tiny house!!! The ultra contemporary chic feel is wonderful, serene with the color scheme! I love the spaciousness as well, just all around livable!
Science Lesson, Induction stove tops work by creating a changing magnetic field that induces a current in the metal Pot/pan/cup what have you, causing it to heat up. Their is no "heat" passed from the stove to the pot, the heat comes from within the metal itself.
This is great. Nice steel joists. Nice burnt wood. Nice simple flat roof. I have a 15/12 pitch roof, and I'm bonkin' around all up and down. This tour has given me some good ideas for my next one. Well done!
I love the tiny house concept/notion and I especially love minimalism. With that said, when one is over 6ft tall, as I am, and built like an Amazon, tiny houses become straight jackets and one goes nuts.
This is a great house. Love the steel used for the bed. In a tiny house every inch counts, and that's a clever way of gaining a couple of spare inches to work with.
You have my vote for most environmentally friendly/classy styled tiny house! I love it. I'm using the same colors of black & gray in my loft apartment because they virtually go with everything - as well as exploring practical shelving, bedding, and storage options. I'm definitely going to work towards a tiny house lifestyle!
To the family and friends of this wonderful man and woman, please know they have done so much for us all. Am so sorry for your loss. Peace to you. Jamie
Deek, Love your work. I'm writing from Melbourne Australia and really enjoy your style, values and approach. I watched your recent Sydney session and resulting video. Don't lose your sense of humour, eye for the diverse and the valuable. Please come to Melbourne some time, you'll love the place. Keep on Deeking Stephen
Best designed one yet in my opinion all the other videos I've seen to me they look so raw like unfinished I'm not a natural wood lover so I love to see it painted or finished in some way this tiny house is modern but comfortable
I will be in DC tomorrow for work. Wish I could have seen you Deek. I love the tiny home. If you ever need some help Jay I'm only 45 minutes away and be glad to volunteer.
Really nice house. Also Jay has an awesome t-shirt. This is a statement for the no-kill pet shelter movement. Thx, Jay for wearing that t-shirt on your youTube video
What I would like to know is when Tiny House Shack hands-on building will come around the West Texas area... it seems like a lot of fun, especially for DIYs! :) Love your concepts Deek, they look like a lot of fun and they're so much more innovative than their larger counterparts.
RIP Jay Austin. I don't think that the turn your journey took, proved you wrong about humanity's positive side. You left the world doing what you loved and deserve all the respect and grace. :)
Many good ideas in your home....simple and smart. I personally like the idea of composting toilets ! We all eat and it all comes out (thankfully!) .....people get so wrapped around the axle about that!!
This is slick bro! I like what you did with the wood on the outside. I'm building mine exactly like this. Good idea with the small wall shelves and magnets for seasonings. Now I'm reconsidering installing cabinets.
I really like the moss counter top! Cleaver idea. Also like the induction stoves. I might get several like he has and get rid of my stove/oven (which isn't even hooked up in my trailer).
TeaTime0223 Definitely agree. Great job, Jay Austin! I did see one earlier this morning, a husband and wife worked on it together, but the inside was white breadboard. Quite nice and gave it quite a spacious feel. Would you mind sharing how much your trailer and tiny home weighs and how much it took $ wise to built it? No worries about furniture though. I live in an 1813 renovated mill in New England. It's just too large for me. I've been wanting to do this since the mid 2000s, as I had read an article in the NYTimes.
Great tour! So great to see inside of this boneyard beauty. Thank you Jay for letting us inside. And thank you Deek for another cool spot :) #boneyardstudios
I was checking out his house while watching the minimalists documentary. I recognized the house immediately and had to see the rest of it. Thanks for sharing this. I really like his style. And being vegan is a bonus ;)
Alas, we do Saturday tours very, very rarely. You're more than welcome to come by and take a peek at the exteriors from the fence at any time, but if you want a walkthrough of the homes, I'm afraid that's only likely to happen Sundays. :(
Hey Jay, Great Tiny Home. Alicia Egan mentioned in her post a month ago, "Where is your rain Catchment system?". I feel Rainwater Catchment System is a great idea to save money, Eco-friendly, smart and healthy. peacej
Awesome. Induction cookers use magnetic energy to vibrate the metal and it heats up. The only drawback is that induction cooking only works properly with cooking pans that containing iron-the only metal that efficiently produces electrical (eddy) currents and heat from magnetic fields.
The house Absolutely Rocks!!! We have several people here locally in 'the zoo' pondering building tiny spaces... zoning/land ownership and good design continue to evolve... So far you all seem in the lead with collective land ownership. How easy was that to pull off? It almost seems tiny housing design is improving daily, although I am sure that dangerous and poorly thought out structures (that my parents most feared I would do) still happen. With greater public involvement there IS greater creative achievement solving problems of beauty and secure housing. It is desperately about time this movement grows. By the way Jay, I've said forever that portable induction hobs like yours make more sense. You can bring them out or put them away. Hope sometime after we do ours here we get a chance to meet. Best to you...

Think about this. If you live in a micro apartement as small as this, no government argue about it. But as soon as you aquire a small piece of land and put up a small house like this, they got all sorts of complaints. To me it seems like they don't want the 'little' man, or woman to have a place of their own, but have to rent from a housing shark, for too much money. And if you try to live off the grid, then everything gets much worse. Think if a bigger portion of the popultaion started to do that. The power companies, could risk not geting their 1000% profit every year. Oh the horror.
I didn't think I'd like this, but his modern interior makes it comfy. I still can't get used to climbing up to a bed. I'm a girl. I can see using a loft for a reading area though.
jay austin you betcha, Jay! Sometimes even much faster than a guy because it's all about strength to weight ratio. I used to pound up the hills on my bike when I used to ride with guys about 8 years ago.
Reminds me of a shotgun style house. I like it! Flat roofs rock because you can freaking stand on them! But how about that heater right up against the wall? I'd check the manual on that one. You should definitely put you a couple of Remington's on the walls, eeeh, maybe not.
I'm in love with this tiny house!!! The ultra contemporary chic feel is wonderful, serene with the color scheme! I love the spaciousness as well, just all around livable!
I love this one. I love how he has his bed. It looks so much less cramped than most others. And the tv placement is a great idea.
Rustic modern is my favorite kind of design.
Thanks Deek for showing Jay's home. Neat place, and so tidy!
The foot-operated kitchen tap is one of the best ideas I've seen in a tiny home, or any kind of home to be honest. Love it! Great space too :)
LemonTreesOnMercury yeah, I first saw that on an apartment tour of an english teacher in Korea...it was pretty convenient....

I’m so sorry to hear about the owner’s tragic death.
This guy has an amazing sense of style.
Really nice cabin full of brilliant solutions. Love all about it.
This is very nice. I think the flat roof is a great idea. It really gives a feeling of space and the foot pump on the sink is brilliant.
Compassion over Killing ❤️ and a tiny house ❤️ he's perfect
In a surprising twist, ISIS doesn't subscribe to "compassion over killing."
This is a great house. Love the steel used for the bed. In a tiny house every inch counts, and that's a clever way of gaining a couple of spare inches to work with.

Thumbs up for a cute tiny house and compassion over killing. 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
RIP Jay. Thanks for being an inspiration.
To the family and friends of this wonderful man and woman, please know they have done so much for us all. Am so sorry for your loss. Peace to you. Jamie
I love the cabinets with the mason jars. Beautiful design overall.
really nice... you have everything you need in a tiny house like that... and no mortgage or stress
So cool to see how you're changing things up with the needs of your home!
I love the Colors you used. Very industrial and masculine. Beautiful hands down!
Deek, Love your work. I'm writing from Melbourne Australia and really enjoy your style, values and approach. I watched your recent Sydney session and resulting video. Don't lose your sense of humour, eye for the diverse and the valuable. Please come to Melbourne some time, you'll love the place.

khristalez Beadboard...
I'm in love with this design and its features.
Thanks so much for the inspiration and all those clever design ideas! Looks wonderfully cozy!
Nice build Jay this little house is awesome.
I will be in DC tomorrow for work. Wish I could have seen you Deek. I love the tiny home. If you ever need some help Jay I'm only 45 minutes away and be glad to volunteer.
Great house, really like all of the different features. My wife is in love with the moss kitchen counter. Good Job man.
can someone explain the moss counter? is it real moss? sanitary?
The induction idea is brilliant! 👍🏻
Just beautiful... love the style of this house !!!!
Very cool tiny house. The flat roof and bed loft with skylight is unique.
I think this is my biggest inspiration for the design of my tiny home
Really nice house. Also Jay has an awesome t-shirt. This is a statement for the no-kill pet shelter movement. Thx, Jay for wearing that t-shirt on your youTube video
Loooove the mason jars! One of the best tiny house I have seen so far!
What I would like to know is when Tiny House Shack hands-on building will come around the West Texas area... it seems like a lot of fun, especially for DIYs! :) Love your concepts Deek, they look like a lot of fun and they're so much more innovative than their larger counterparts.
Funny the "Yoda voice" I love tiny houses :-) thank you
This is great for a bachelor type person to start out. Better than a efficiency apartment in my opinion.
Jay, I can't wait to come off on Sunday! It will be my first experience up-close with an actually tiny house.
this is one of my favorite tiny homes!
RIP Jay Austin. I don't think that the turn your journey took, proved you wrong about humanity's positive side. You left the world doing what you loved and deserve all the respect and grace. :)

This is awesome! Love your videos Deek, checkin out your book as I watch this video over coffee.
thanks Kareem- REALLY appreciate it!
+relaxshacksDOTcom do you ever come to north carolina
Beautiful!!
And all the jars of food----Veganism ROCKS!!
Love this design, very modern
My favorite hands down! Hey Deek. :)
This is slick bro! I like what you did with the wood on the outside. I'm building mine exactly like this. Good idea with the small wall shelves and magnets for seasonings. Now I'm reconsidering installing cabinets.
definitely the type of style i would look into when looking for a place to live( very long ways away)
i'm really diggin the moss counter top
I just love your home! Its so nice of you to share :)
Induction stoves are amazing and incredibly safe. Electricity required is 1/4 of electric stove. Consistent temperature in increments. Amazing.
I really like the moss counter top! Cleaver idea. Also like the induction stoves. I might get several like he has and get rid of my stove/oven (which isn't even hooked up in my trailer).
what a cool house to live in it rocks...well done mr.
I Love everything about this house!
Love the design! The best tiny house I've seen so far! So pretty! Well done to the owner!

your home is GORGEOUS
so far, this is my favorite. i like white walls more though, but this design out of all the ones i have seen is the best
that was the nicest house ive seen lately,how did the homeowner circumvent city hall hassles. i dug living next to a cemetery the neighbors are quiet.
'ROOT' IS SO GOOOD!!
Great tour! So great to see inside of this boneyard beauty. Thank you Jay for letting us inside. And thank you Deek for another cool spot :) #boneyardstudios
I love the compassion over killing T-Shirt: )
Rest In Peace
Nice build. I remember the neighbors build using SIPs panels. Great lot. Hope you do tours of the others as well.
WOOHOO Seattle Plum Bistro shout out! Great recipe book BTW.
FANTASTIC recipe book. I just finished a recipe out of there two minutes ago.
really creative... like the design...:)
Very attractive Tiny house........
Love the shirt ! and the tiny house ! :)
I was checking out his house while watching the minimalists documentary. I recognized the house immediately and had to see the rest of it. Thanks for sharing this. I really like his style. And being vegan is a bonus ;)
Cool, I see you only have Sunday tours right now. I'll wait for a Saturday, as that's the day I'm in DC usually. Thanks!
Alas, we do Saturday tours very, very rarely. You're more than welcome to come by and take a peek at the exteriors from the fence at any time, but if you want a walkthrough of the homes, I'm afraid that's only likely to happen Sundays. :(
that was a pretty sweet place.

Very nice, efficient design.
Very nice! Great job!
Amazing little house ! ~ T

ha that's like the Tardis- bigger on the inside! lol great size!
one in Charlotte is going to make it happen. yes !
I really want this!
Very cool. I think you should have a hoist which raises and lowers for lounge-like seating in front entry. There's some unused space there..
Gorgeous house and hot vegan guy, I don't know if this video could have been any better ;) Love what you've done Jay!
Rest in peace buddy! what a loss.
Love the shirt.
I really like this one
Dometic makes a pretty rad 3 mode fridge. It runs on ac, dc and propane! A tank lasts me a month.
This is a real cool video.

pretty sweet
I'm pretty sure I know that place in D.C. because I visited the old graveyard 😀
I didn't think I'd like this, but his modern interior makes it comfy. I still can't get used to climbing up to a bed. I'm a girl. I can see using a loft for a reading area though.
Girls can climb just as well as guys can. :)
Xander Taylor Many people are doing small stairs with closet's/storage under
jay austin you betcha, Jay! Sometimes even much faster than a guy because it's all about strength to weight ratio. I used to pound up the hills on my bike when I used to ride with guys about 8 years ago.
I love tiny houses bc they are sooo adorable and cute! My bedroom is almost 3x the size of the tiny house and very empty and boring...
Anna C Awww,, i would fill your Bedroom and end thy boredom....

Man, that's tight.
Reminds me of a shotgun style house. I like it! Flat roofs rock because you can freaking stand on them! But how about that heater right up against the wall? I'd check the manual on that one. You should definitely put you a couple of Remington's on the walls, eeeh, maybe not.
Thanks! It's an electric heater, so there's no venting out back-no more than an inch of clearance needed. :)
It seems like just a few extra feet would make it much better and it would still be very small and efficient
very nice,
