I love it. One thing I would change....I would have made the bench with a hinged board and legs that drop down, so that it can fold out to a double bed. Then use the upper area for storage space with half the width (so you can get to it easier and get around better... and with a ladder that can be attached, for storage. It would also be cool to make a tent extension that can be attached by velcro or something like that. That way you could shower and use the toilet in privacy and also have a place to eat and change your clothes, etc. I turn a lot in bed..I would fall off of that upper bed for sure.
The extension idea is a pretty good one. If he had something like that up top he could extend the bed length out. That would be my biggest issue with something like this. But all this gives me some great ideas if I ever decide to make a tiny house on my 4x8 trailer. :D
What!! 5k!? That's amazing. I was thinking it would be super expensive!! You're so talented. Hope someone will find you to make these for the homeless !!
Levi, I really think you’re onto something special that can go a long way towards helping a lot of people step out of homelessness. My wife and I work at a Safetynet Hospital which makes healthcare more affordable for poor people and we are constantly helping homeless patients. And I think this model of yours can definitely be one possible solution to a very serious and widespread problem that we as a society have not done nearly enough to address or correct. Keep up the good work. I would LOVE to talk with you further about your design, as well as how to bring it to more people in need. 😇
@@drivethrupoet Not all homeless people are homeless due to addiction. There are so many other contributing factors. Still, even people who are addicted to whatever deserve a roof over their head. Everyone deserves a house.

Same thing I thought. You would need one anyway for the outdoor shower. As for storing it, you need a vehicle to tow it, THAT is where you keep your clothes, pans, hygiene products,clothesline, fishing pole, etc. But this would be awesome for living temporarily on a piece of land, or just camping somewhere long-term. Sure beats my little bitty tent
I'm mildly impressed which is something I rarely admit. A lot of people could live this way especially if they live alone. It's so efficient. Keep up the great work, Levi!
@@snorttroll4379 I mean, being in a space that small isn't good for your mental health longterm because you're pretty enclosed. Not to mention the lack of storage and ability to refrigerate food. There's not much space to have adequate cookware. You'd also have to essentially go grocery shopping everyday and be reduced to like one-pot meals. And forget leftovers. This could be a great option for solo camping or temporary housing for those suffering with homelessness. But that's really about it. Plus, that toilet would smell bad after a while if the person lived in a colder climate because I'm sure it would be brought inside since nobody wants to use the restroom in below freezing temperatures if they don't have to.
Super neat! Tiny enough to tow without burning much gas, this is perfect for camping! So much safer than a tent, no bugs, ac and hot air! Truly incredible work! 👏
Yeah but that's not even camping. That's glamping lol. The whole point is sleeping in a tent, outside with nature. If you got ac/ running water/ electricity, etc you might as well just stay at a motel. Although my old ass will admit these days that an air mattress or something to sleep on is nice.

@anothergamingchannel2656 with the crazy weather everywhere now a days, tents aren't so easy. Especially up in Canada, depending where you are, you'll be smoked out by the fires, the wildlife isn't scared of us anymore and have no issue tearing up your tent etc. You still get all the benefits of camping, only you get to wake up without bugs, no sore back, no worry about bears/coyotes at night. I loved camping as a kid and when I was younger but the last time I stayed in a tent 6yrs ago, someone had to use mace on a bear, it rained so badly even tho the forecast was light rain that it flooded the tent. Another group got kicked out for messing with others tents lol. I get what you're saying but I always thought glamping was reserved for the rvs, or big pop up trailers haha

You might need clothes. Not too much room in there for storing necessities. But with some mods (bench folding out into a bed- add a cushion on top of the counter for extra sleep space) and you can store a lot of stuff on the upper shelf!
@@lonnellwashere”relief” is the key word. A place to house or person that lost their home in a disaster etc…. Stop being negative and think it through before commenting… it’s a brilliant idea
Reminds me of a gumpi, a portable house for nomadic indigenous people in Sápmi. Great for people on the move who spends most time outside. Amazing that you managed to fit all modern comforts inside!
That's a neat little set up - I'm a bigger person and older - so I like some of the ideas in the comments about turning the bottom chair into a bed and storage up-top - but even with how it is now - if I had a little stool I could possibly get from the floor onto the cabinet then into the bed. I really like the black colour - if I made this I'd keep to that colouring of the outside. I especially like the ideas for designs like this to be used to help the homeless - dignity for all - and a safe warm space of their own.
Split the bed in half so you can get up on one side with plenty of room then pull or drop the other side to complete the bed. probably could setup a drop down ladder to help getting up.
I think this is perfect for you and many other people but it is not for me. I’m a retired senior citizen with flexibility problems. I am definitely not capable of climbing up into that bed. The bench would have to be my bed. The house would have to be about three feet longer so that the toilet can be inside since I always get up during the night. It would also have to be about three feet wider. Under some circumstances, I can experience a touch of claustrophobia. I even had a bit of a reaction to just the video when you first climbed inside. But I do think that it is an impressive project.
I would have devised a pull out and made the bench into the bed...I would never fit or be able to climb up to the bed. I would also make a table on the wall opposite wall of the bench that folds up and down...maybe part of the downstairs bed. Cool build! Amazing you got all that for $5000!
With the technical knowledge, skills, procurement, and time to create this, this would easily be in the 10s of thousands if commercialized and be completely “reasonable”
A place to stay warm, sleep, cook and even use the toilet! I’m amazed. And actually I think this video might help some folks who have little money and space but need a roof over their head🥹❤
@raarnt Now imagine using a toilet or shower in bad weather, or just using it not somewhere in the middle of nowhere, but somewhere where there might be other people. There is also absolutely no space to store anything, including food and clothing. It's a better option than a tent or a cardboard box, but I wouldn't call it a house.
@@masa461 this trailer implies that a vehicle is involved. That makes for the storage space for other items. Get your food from the store every day or have a big ice chest for the food storage. Make some low profile racks for plates and silverware on the walls. Definitely needs a curtain for the bathing/toilet situation. I’m not sure what the insulation is like on this thing is but it looks slick. A decent tent with a nice furnace would still probably get you the same thing for cheaper but it definitely won’t look as nice
You could always install a roped hanging ladder that comes down from ceiling or bed somehow to have access to the bed. Love how tiny and functional you made it!
once set up you could easily add a waterproof tarp around the shower and put the camode in the tent *poof* pop up bathroom, add one or two of those wooden floors for the shower and for the ladies a lil foldable vanity. in warm weather, i could live in it. Love it!!
Neat. You could probably add a flip-up shower curtain ring to the outside so people could even have privacy in the shower. I'm 6'3" and 220 lbs, so the bed doesn't look too accessible/usable to me, but I'm also not the one camping in it.
@@hwiley8141 I agree with both of you. Storage space is lacking and you would need a separate way of transporting everything else. I like people's suggestions on having a pop-out tent like structure to use for the shower area and put the toilet there for privacy.
@@nullobject7966 I think if someone was homeless or living out of a little car, this would be a welcome extra space, especially with it having a toilet, aircon and sink etc. (the toilet you could use a pop up privacy tent if you didn’t want to bring it into the tiny house)
This is exactly what I was thinking! With the housing crisis we are facing.. I know of many people who are living in tents and on the streets. Family's included. I'm trying to find a way to help ..however being disabled and on a very minimum income it is very hard to survive myself , nevermind helping anyone else. I often have to choose food or hydro. It's an unfortunate state this country is in right now...all I can do is pray and stay positive. Thank you for this amazing little home and some great ideas! God bless
Not really. It's too small to accommodate the needs of full time living, and many, if not most, homeless people are disabled in ways that make this camper's features kinda useless. This is why actual homeless people need to be involved in designing tiny homes for the community.
@@ContentMadame These homes could be designed to accommodate whomever, it doesn't have to be this exact model. But this size or a little bigger would not take up a lot of space. I think as a homeless person, shelter would be preferred then sleeping out in the elements, on the ground, open to whatever. You are being narrow minded in your thinking.
@@tinamartz5958 No, I'm not. I AM A DISABLED HOMELESS PERSON, and I'm telling you that in my own and many others experience, THIS is not a sufficient long term solution to the problems of daily living faced by people like me. Long term solutions are what are needed, not an upgraded box with an unusable bed. This is for young, healthy people. Furthermore, I didn't say ANYTHING about tiny homes in general, just THIS ONE. Who's being narrow minded? There are lots of tiny home designs that would perfectly well accommodate the homeless, but we were talking about THIS ONE. THIS ONE IS NOT A SOLUTION.
What if you make the drop-down bed bi-fold, with a roll-out mattress? Install some pop-out dowling sticks or hinged metal prongs on the wall beside of the door, so you can use them as footholds to stand on as you drop the sleeping platform and then flip down the extension - it will still fit nicely into the wooden brackets on either side. Roll out your mattress and Bob's your uncle. Heck, Bob could even sleep over if the bench was bi-fold, too - then this truly tiny home sleeps two!
Hey Levi,.I hope that you're having a great day! You have done an amazing job on building your worlds smallest tiny home!I would have to say buying the trailer and all the materials I would have to say you're looking at 6000.00 dollars to 7200.00 dollars. I like how you made it where every bit of space is functionable and there is no wasted space. Thank you for sharing and showing us your 19.46 square foot tiny house! I hope that you and your family make great memories with the worlds smallest tiny home! Your fan Leonard from North Carolina.
Poop tent ☺️ awsome idea, this could help a lot of people, from homeless to people after certain disasters... Even me if my wife throws me out of house 😅
Some sort of deployable privacy shroud would be neat for the shower. Maybe a flip down/up U-shaped shower curtain bar and a simple external low-profile stowage cabinet to hold it with the curtain.
Oh really? And where do you think they will get the money to pay for this? TAXES. and since 5k per person isn't in their budget and tens of thousands of people would need one, I would say you could expect probably a 500-800% tax increase to pay for this. Jesus. Do people even think before they write stuff?
@@The_Bad_Guy.Do you research before you write stuff? I did. There are approximately 650k homeless people in America, regardless of the reason that they're homeless. A house like this costs 5k. Simple math and the total cost would come to 3,25 billion USD. The US government spends 6 TRILLION dollars annually. I think they have the money for this. One billion is 0.1% of one trillion. So the government could spend a little over 0.05% of their budget to give EVERY homeless person in America housing. You really think that'd require a 500-800% tax increase?
Check out the guy in Canada who is trying for something temporary for the homeless. What he has designed is really great but he does not have some of the features you have and he’s at the same price or cost. His name is Ryan. He’s on a couple social media places and has a web sight………Tiny Tiny homes. Perhaps you could give him some advice so he can really get his production in gear. I hope so. He is really trying to do a good thing for the homeless, which is a big problem with not too many solutions. Thanks again you teeny tiny house is really great! Love it!
The layout is similar to an extendable, motorized bike camper. Of course they weigh a lot less 😅 But I love your "all-inclusive" set-up with heater/ac, hot water and a toilet. It's great to see what's possible in such a small space!
They need these in some places in Asia too. Like right now! Better than shoeboxes in falling down buildings. Thank you. I love watching tiny home vids. It is fascinating to me✌🏼🌹🎄
If you get an outdoor shower curtain you can use that for the shower and bathroom when you set up on a trip for privacy and continued use throughout your stay. I think it’s pretty cool. I’m a very tiny person as well and getting up there wouldn’t be an issue for me but you should probably keep looking for other ideas on getting up to the bed. Otherwise very cool house 👏🏼👏🏼👍
Super! I personally would have made a double layer plank of wood on the bench with hinges down the middle and unfold it to make a bed platform across the room. I would put maybe a small shelf across the wall opposite the bench on which the unfolded plank could rest for support. Also would need a double cushion. Place the cushions sde by side when ready to sleep. When done sleeping, you fold the wood platform back over to be a bench and stack the cushions. Bed is done. But that's just my idea. I like that little house. It would be fun for a camp out in the backyard.
Oh yeah that makes sense. 5k per person since obviously only 1 person could live in this. I guess you don't mind your taxes being raised 500% to pay for that.
@@GaryDelabate since Covid the number have skyrocketed. Victoria BC used to be a beautiful, safe city. Now it’s full of crackheads, mentally ill, homeless people with tents on the sidewalks. Disgusting.
This is incredible. With a little modification (longer or wider) so you could bring the toilet inside and add a ladder, I could see this as a great way to house the unhoused.
So very impressed young man. I can tell you worked hard on this and I really love you and Weston "camping" together. My 5 year old grandson loved it too lol. He wants one now 😊. Keep up the great work. You and your family are in my prayers. 😊😊
I love it!! Excellent job. I love the shower placement (no humidity inside to deal with). You've combined the best of what you've seen in your travels. I'm planning on a tiny space on land outside of town for weekend or just plain fun. Love the toilet idea too. You've given me confidence and inspiration to do it!! I think I'll use a pull out somehow on the main floor instead of the overhead bed. Also great for a guest house for the weekend. Bravo!!
Perfect for a weekend! Your guest could have their own space to get away and have some private time. As someone who gets overwhelmed when I am staying somewhere and I can't get away from everyone for a minute I'd love if someone had this to offer me as a guest space!
my favorite kind of content, i imagine living in it and the cozy feeling it gives me... something about tiny functional houses just feels like a pat on the back and a breath of fresh air. Thank you for making this, you deserve much more views
Congrats! 🎉I absolutely love it. Amazingly, you incorporated so many comfort features-that refrigerator is adorable, plus heat and air. And, your total cost blew me away. I can't get over it. It's genius!
You have done a phenomenal job there. I guess with some more support you should give these houses to homeless people. There are so many of them. Solar panel won't make them use any electricity as well. Seriously think about it please. Love from India ❤
A mobile home would be better. This is way too tiny to help homeless people snd there's no indoor toilet/shower. It's an interesting build, but it is more like a playhouse for kids.
@mygirldarby year ..I see your point and also the sleeping quarters would only good that we're able physically...but I thought along the lines as emergency shelter...and then upgrade to something you suggested..tiny house...by the way...love tiny houses...have a good one mate
I just watched the video where you built this and I am super impressed! You really did put in the blood, sweat and tears into it. Seeing Weston help was wonderful. You really did an amazing job!! Keep the videos coming my friend!! God bless you and your family 😊
This is actually the average house size in Europe But seriously, incredible build. You could even fill the spot in front of the seat with an inflatable and have 2 whole beds. It's wild how little we really need to live. Beautiful little home
Is this thing winter ready? For example, if temps drop, will the shower pipes burst? And where does one shower in the winter time, if they live in this house?

Why?
Where is the galvanized steel and mattress from auntie?
@@Momo-po5tn It's screws from auntie, not mattress 😆
4:18 If you made the bench top doublesided with a piano hinge it could fold out on to a cleat attached to the opposite wall for another bed.
True!

A place to stay warm, sleep, cook and even use the toilet! I’m amazed. And actually I think this video might help some folks who have little money and space but need a roof over their head🥹❤
@raarnt Now imagine using a toilet or shower in bad weather, or just using it not somewhere in the middle of nowhere, but somewhere where there might be other people. There is also absolutely no space to store anything, including food and clothing. It's a better option than a tent or a cardboard box, but I wouldn't call it a house.
@@masa461 this trailer implies that a vehicle is involved. That makes for the storage space for other items. Get your food from the store every day or have a big ice chest for the food storage. Make some low profile racks for plates and silverware on the walls. Definitely needs a curtain for the bathing/toilet situation. I’m not sure what the insulation is like on this thing is but it looks slick. A decent tent with a nice furnace would still probably get you the same thing for cheaper but it definitely won’t look as nice
@@masa461yeah I don't think it counts as having a toilet or shower as part of the tiny house when they're outside 😂
@dubstepXpower why not? Lots of traditional houses have outdoor showers, and you can bring the toilet inside. It's the access to them that counts!
8:20 The narrow space to get into bed was accidental genius!!! If you can't fit through the gap, you're too big to sleep in the bed.
You could always install a roped hanging ladder that comes down from ceiling or bed somehow to have access to the bed. Love how tiny and functional you made it!
once set up you could easily add a waterproof tarp around the shower and put the camode in the tent *poof* pop up bathroom, add one or two of those wooden floors for the shower and for the ladies a lil foldable vanity. in warm weather, i could live in it. Love it!!
Neat. You could probably add a flip-up shower curtain ring to the outside so people could even have privacy in the shower. I'm 6'3" and 220 lbs, so the bed doesn't look too accessible/usable to me, but I'm also not the one camping in it.
The bench could convert to a bed if you added a pullout slat system and used a back cushion that flipped down.
👍👍
Yep. I am too old for that be, but i would convert bench to bed and use bed area for storage.
@@hwiley8141 I agree with both of you. Storage space is lacking and you would need a separate way of transporting everything else. I like people's suggestions on having a pop-out tent like structure to use for the shower area and put the toilet there for privacy.
And if the bench was a bed. You could put the potty in at night for use.
Outstanding work at any price, but that $5k build total really puts it over the top!
Al the units like heater, water pump, accu is really expensive
It has nothing to do with affordability, it doesn't solve anything except the creators goal to break a record.
@@nullobject7966 I think if someone was homeless or living out of a little car, this would be a welcome extra space, especially with it having a toilet, aircon and sink etc. (the toilet you could use a pop up privacy tent if you didn’t want to bring it into the tiny house)
Grinch at least hes doing something!@nullobject7966
@@elenalizabeth why not just live in a mobile home? There's more room, it is also on wheels, and has all basic amenities.
Thanks!
Love it! This could be an awesome idea for a community for people who are homeless.
This is exactly what I was thinking! With the housing crisis we are facing.. I know of many people who are living in tents and on the streets. Family's included. I'm trying to find a way to help ..however being disabled and on a very minimum income it is very hard to survive myself , nevermind helping anyone else. I often have to choose food or hydro. It's an unfortunate state this country is in right now...all I can do is pray and stay positive. Thank you for this amazing little home and some great ideas! God bless
Not really. It's too small to accommodate the needs of full time living, and many, if not most, homeless people are disabled in ways that make this camper's features kinda useless. This is why actual homeless people need to be involved in designing tiny homes for the community.
What is the difference between this and a mobile home?
@@ContentMadame These homes could be designed to accommodate whomever, it doesn't have to be this exact model. But this size or a little bigger would not take up a lot of space. I think as a homeless person, shelter would be preferred then sleeping out in the elements, on the ground, open to whatever. You are being narrow minded in your thinking.
@@tinamartz5958 No, I'm not. I AM A DISABLED HOMELESS PERSON, and I'm telling you that in my own and many others experience, THIS is not a sufficient long term solution to the problems of daily living faced by people like me. Long term solutions are what are needed, not an upgraded box with an unusable bed. This is for young, healthy people. Furthermore, I didn't say ANYTHING about tiny homes in general, just THIS ONE. Who's being narrow minded? There are lots of tiny home designs that would perfectly well accommodate the homeless, but we were talking about THIS ONE. THIS ONE IS NOT A SOLUTION.
What if you make the drop-down bed bi-fold, with a roll-out mattress? Install some pop-out dowling sticks or hinged metal prongs on the wall beside of the door, so you can use them as footholds to stand on as you drop the sleeping platform and then flip down the extension - it will still fit nicely into the wooden brackets on either side. Roll out your mattress and Bob's your uncle. Heck, Bob could even sleep over if the bench was bi-fold, too - then this truly tiny home sleeps two!
I guessed perfectly, i said $5000! Great job Levi!
This is probably the best tiny house I’ve seen. The possibilities of the use of this are pretty endless. I’m going to watch the build video now.
The build video was very interesting. I see his building skills evolving!
That is a big land for such a small house 😂 0:20
He's saving the land for underground water recharge
More land to grow more food
you look like john cena in the suburban dad kinda way
Youre mf high. It's not even close.
I see Mark Wahlberg
I freaking agree with you!!
How do you? Considering we can't even see John cena...
Hey Levi,.I hope that you're having a great day! You have done an amazing job on building your worlds smallest tiny home!I would have to say buying the trailer and all the materials I would have to say you're looking at 6000.00 dollars to 7200.00 dollars. I like how you made it where every bit of space is functionable and there is no wasted space. Thank you for sharing and showing us your 19.46 square foot tiny house! I hope that you and your family make great memories with the worlds smallest tiny home! Your fan Leonard from North Carolina.
A few compromises in that small of a build, but my god for 5K that is incredibly impressive. Well done
Genius! It's refreshing and reassuring that people like this exist in our world!
This is so clever!! Well done 👏
I’m actually impressed Levi great job
Dang, that really impressed me. How would one of those net beds work?? Brilliant, just Brilliant, Levi!
genius to make the shower and toilet outside. all you need is a pop tent to keep yourself private
Poop tent ☺️ awsome idea, this could help a lot of people, from homeless to people after certain disasters... Even me if my wife throws me out of house 😅
I agree and I think quite a few viewers have made similar comments along with the bed situation which is not quite right and not the best design
Come on Donna, let it all hang out !
Some sort of deployable privacy shroud would be neat for the shower. Maybe a flip down/up U-shaped shower curtain bar and a simple external low-profile stowage cabinet to hold it with the curtain.
This is craaaazy! So well done man!
This is something that can be used for all the homeless people from the hurricanes and tornadoes victims
Pretty sure FEMA won't pay for this rig
The homeless people in the USA will probably end up in camps.
Oh really? And where do you think they will get the money to pay for this? TAXES. and since 5k per person isn't in their budget and tens of thousands of people would need one, I would say you could expect probably a 500-800% tax increase to pay for this. Jesus. Do people even think before they write stuff?
@@The_Bad_Guy.Do you research before you write stuff? I did. There are approximately 650k homeless people in America, regardless of the reason that they're homeless. A house like this costs 5k. Simple math and the total cost would come to 3,25 billion USD. The US government spends 6 TRILLION dollars annually. I think they have the money for this. One billion is 0.1% of one trillion. So the government could spend a little over 0.05% of their budget to give EVERY homeless person in America housing. You really think that'd require a 500-800% tax increase?
@@hellohej5525 our taxes would be raised to pay for this genius. They won't allocate that kind of money. Don't be ridiculous.
One thing I would add is a wraparound curtain on the outside. It would be a cheap addition and would add privacy for both the toilet and shower!
This could do allot for the homeless.
If no one tried to strip it down to just firewood or if the homeless didn't vandalized it as well
@@H37P5kY57If you change the material but kept the same basic plan it could work
Yeah, no. Communal living is the key to affordable living. Not a 5k uncomfortable box.
@@nullobject7966 True, larger prefab tiny homes set up in a neighborhood type of environment have already shown promise.
@@nullobject7966 Some people live in their cars so this could already be an upgrade.
Check out the guy in Canada who is trying for something temporary for the homeless. What he has designed is really great but he does not have some of the features you have and he’s at the same price or cost. His name is Ryan. He’s on a couple social media places and has a web sight………Tiny Tiny homes. Perhaps you could give him some advice so he can really get his production in gear. I hope so. He is really trying to do a good thing for the homeless, which is a big problem with not too many solutions. Thanks again you teeny tiny house is really great! Love it!
The layout is similar to an extendable, motorized bike camper. Of course they weigh a lot less 😅 But I love your "all-inclusive" set-up with heater/ac, hot water and a toilet. It's great to see what's possible in such a small space!
They need these in some places in Asia too. Like right now! Better than shoeboxes in falling down buildings. Thank you. I love watching tiny home vids. It is fascinating to me✌🏼🌹🎄
If you get an outdoor shower curtain you can use that for the shower and bathroom when you set up on a trip for privacy and continued use throughout your stay. I think it’s pretty cool. I’m a very tiny person as well and getting up there wouldn’t be an issue for me but you should probably keep looking for other ideas on getting up to the bed. Otherwise very cool house 👏🏼👏🏼👍
Люблю, коли розумні люди мають ще й золоті руки. Браво! 💛💙
What a wonderful expression. Bravo indeed!
Super! I personally would have made a double layer plank of wood on the bench with hinges down the middle and unfold it to make a bed platform across the room. I would put maybe a small shelf across the wall opposite the bench on which the unfolded plank could rest for support. Also would need a double cushion. Place the cushions sde by side when ready to sleep. When done sleeping, you fold the wood platform back over to be a bench and stack the cushions. Bed is done. But that's just my idea.
I like that little house. It would be fun for a camp out in the backyard.
These should be built to help solve the homelessness epidemic. Great job! 🔥🇨🇦
I thinks this maybe smaller than the bicycle RV by Tiny Tiny Homes
Canada has a homeless issue? I thought that was just an American thing.
Oh yeah that makes sense. 5k per person since obviously only 1 person could live in this. I guess you don't mind your taxes being raised 500% to pay for that.
@@GaryDelabate since Covid the number have skyrocketed. Victoria BC used to be a beautiful, safe city. Now it’s full of crackheads, mentally ill, homeless people with tents on the sidewalks. Disgusting.
The second most anticipated video of 2024. Nice work!
This is incredible. With a little modification (longer or wider) so you could bring the toilet inside and add a ladder, I could see this as a great way to house the unhoused.
van life parents will try to fit 10 kids in there.
This is so crazy. Levi’s mind is incredible!! Bravo! Love all the different woods!!
You built the greatest “fort” a growing boy could ask for. Good on you, Dad!
I really enjoy your vids.
Heyy this is very useful in times of emergencies. Excellent job!
So very impressed young man. I can tell you worked hard on this and I really love you and Weston "camping" together. My 5 year old grandson loved it too lol. He wants one now 😊. Keep up the great work. You and your family are in my prayers. 😊😊
I love it!! Excellent job. I love the shower placement (no humidity inside to deal with). You've combined the best of what you've seen in your travels. I'm planning on a tiny space on land outside of town for weekend or just plain fun. Love the toilet idea too. You've given me confidence and inspiration to do it!! I think I'll use a pull out somehow on the main floor instead of the overhead bed. Also great for a guest house for the weekend. Bravo!!
OMG .. if I were a guest and someone offered me this I would be so offended! Lol
Perfect for a weekend! Your guest could have their own space to get away and have some private time. As someone who gets overwhelmed when I am staying somewhere and I can't get away from everyone for a minute I'd love if someone had this to offer me as a guest space!
These will be great memories for your kiddo. Keep up the great work!
my favorite kind of content, i imagine living in it and the cozy feeling it gives me... something about tiny functional houses just feels like a pat on the back and a breath of fresh air.
Thank you for making this, you deserve much more views
Congrats! 🎉I absolutely love it. Amazingly, you incorporated so many comfort features-that refrigerator is adorable, plus heat and air. And, your total cost blew me away. I can't get over it. It's genius!
You have done a phenomenal job there. I guess with some more support you should give these houses to homeless people. There are so many of them. Solar panel won't make them use any electricity as well. Seriously think about it please. Love from India ❤
Great idea...for emergency..homeless..ect..well done...outstanding
A mobile home would be better. This is way too tiny to help homeless people snd there's no indoor toilet/shower. It's an interesting build, but it is more like a playhouse for kids.
@mygirldarby year ..I see your point and also the sleeping quarters would only good that we're able physically...but I thought along the lines as emergency shelter...and then upgrade to something you suggested..tiny house...by the way...love tiny houses...have a good one mate
Etc
i guessed 5000. wow! looks awesome love from St Lucia
This is the best house for long fishing trips ❤😍💯
2x2 minecraft house irl
I just watched the video where you built this and I am super impressed! You really did put in the blood, sweat and tears into it. Seeing Weston help was wonderful. You really did an amazing job!! Keep the videos coming my friend!! God bless you and your family 😊
Thats absolutely incredible! 👏🏼 That is fantastic! Great job 👍🏼. Looks amazing!
OMG! This is an awesome build for $5k. Very clever placement for the toilet.
$5k of parts, no one's going to spend X amount of days to build it for free
My 15 yr old granddaughter would love this
This is a fancy doll house for a little girl to teach her independence.
You've outdone yourself. This place is awesome. I wouldn't mind staying in there. You really did a great job.❤❤❤❤❤

What are you talking about? I think it's very cool and creative it's better than living on the streets he's smart!
@@Makima1891 Its a joke
Loved the different wood choices, noice! Way to go on your World-Record Tiny Home. Will Guiness be sending you a certificate soon...?
This is genius and highly creative! If I owned this, I would travel all over! Love it!!
This is actually the average house size in Europe
But seriously, incredible build. You could even fill the spot in front of the seat with an inflatable and have 2 whole beds. It's wild how little we really need to live. Beautiful little home
Mirrors on the internal walls will add some illusion of spaciousness. lol
Great for the backyard, and camping and for the homeless.
This tiny house is really amazing and beautiful! Congratulations Levi! 🎉🎉🎉
That's my childhood dream right there 😍👌👌👌
This is one of the coolest tiny homes I've ever seen!
Epic! I love it. Cool color scheme too
I lowkey used to imagine this sort of thing as a kid!!!
$5000 ! I Guessed it right... b4 u said it. Very nice build! Your one of my favorite Tiny houses & AB&B's
i just need this in life. the only house i can afford
I think it is a bit highly priced
@@snorttroll4379 🥲 you did not have to tell the truth here my friend. 😂
@@snorttroll4379i don’t know if you could build it for cheaper or not
@@MsBluebot maybe wit xps foam walls and an outer layer of solar cells
@@snorttroll4379 I wanna say depends where you live like will it need to be wind ready? Winter ready?
It’s beautiful. Great work!
That is awesome Levi! You are a genius!!!
Perfect outside shower 🚿
It’s good for a son to see his dad doing stuff like this!!
This is needed on the market!!!!! Great job, it’s beautiful
Is this thing winter ready? For example, if temps drop, will the shower pipes burst? And where does one shower in the winter time, if they live in this house?
