  • Zach & Leala designed this unique and beautiful 24-foot long tiny house and built it from paycheque to paycheque, as well as with gifts of time and materials from family and friends. Their dream tiny house has an efficient u-shaped kitchen, a living room with a real couch and loads of storage, a bathroom with a clawfoot tub and a combo washer-dryer, a private loft sleeping space, an open-concept tv lounge loft, and a storage staircase that makes the bed accessible for their two dogs!

    The 200 square foot tiny home on wheels is sitting on a 4-foot tall platform because it's currently parked in a floodplain. The deck gives them loads of extra outdoor living space and it's nicely shaded with a large sloping metal overhang.
    The house is plugged onto the grid for electricity and water, and they also have propane for their stove and water heater. It cost them approximately $40,000 CAD to build the house, including the appliances but not including the deck and the overhang.
    We hope you enjoyed meeting Zach & Leala and taking a tour of their lovely home!
    Thanks for watching!

      Thank you so much for sharing your home through your film. It's easy to fall into a depression during these crazy times and I'm sure that you are cheering many, many people up immeasurably, myself included. And thank you too just for doing things a better way. I don't understand and my heart cannot cope with disposable society, with its "make so it breaks" planned obsolescence and the overriding obsession with material things; it's so desperately soulless and heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing your dreams and inspiring others to fulfill theirs.

We also had a crane lift it onto the platform it’s on now too! Lol we do have plans to move it one day if we get land elsewhere. That’s the beauty of it, a permanent home no matter where you are! 🧡

      Kind of an easy fix with the new use of once only used as farm feed/bath tubs. Or put one outside. Hot tub? Seems like there's always a fix. I agree on the style. It doesn't ever looked dated. She got her tub. Haha nice

I love that privacy/safety wall in your loft bedroom. The tv room is so perfectly fun and cozy up there. The bathroom, the kitchen-EVERYTHING! There are so many features that are important to me and exactly what I would want to have in my tiny home some day. Thank you for sharing this.

    I absolutely love your Tiny Home! It is Beautiful! I’m 64yrs old and I purchased and have lived full time in a 1980 34V Avion Travel Trailer in 2015, so going on 6yrs now. The Insulation has to be totally flat in it by now, and I’ve been looking at the Rockwool insulation online. It really stands up to fire and water damage! I do want to have Closed Cell Spray Foam put in the under belly of my trailer for warmth and any small creature that tries to worm its way into my living space. You both have done a wonderfully fine job in building and creating a Tiny Home that works for the lifestyles you love! I’m planning on living in my Avion as long as I can. I have found that new flat cardboard shipping boxes from Walmart backed with just a one nice styrofoam placed in your door way will keep out lot’s of cold! You can do the bottom half or all of the glass door and remove it during the days that are not so cold. T works for me. I wish you two the very best in your Tiny Life together!

    Really like the rustic farmhouse feel to the home. And by keeping everything light it feels bigger and airier. For me, I would think that as one got older, the ladder to access the TV area, as well as not being able to stand in either loft space could prove difficult. But for their age it's not really a concern. But it is a lovely home.

    What a gorgeous home! Some of the things I love about it...the appliances, the sink, the counters, the couch on a stage, the stairs, that tub! the little rug in the bathroom(I have the same one in yellow),the tv space and so much more. What I don't love...that's it's not mine. 😆 Congratulations to this couple, great job and I hope their dreams come true. Thanks for sharing this.
