17 Year Old Builds Tiny House For Only £6,000!

Tom was only 17 years old when he began construction of his tiny house on wheels. Amazingly, he was able to complete his project for an astounding £6,000 (under US$8k). Now at 20 years old, he is living debt free in his very own home. If you enjoy our videos, please consider supporting us on Patreon: / livingbig
The tiny house movement in England is starting to really gain momentum, as house prices drive people towards alternative living. Tom is a pioneer in the movement, being one of the first in the country to build a tiny home.
This tiny house was really fun to tour. It reminds me very much of some of the early home tours from New Zealand and Australia when the movement was getting started. This is a grass roots movement which is ready to explode in the UK and I'm excited to see where it leads. I hope you enjoy the full tour of this wonderful home built by an inspiring young man!

We are back! So happy to be kick starting our 2020 tour series with this incredible home, built on a budget by an inspiring young man in England. It's so exciting to now be able to share some homes from Europe with you all. Tom's story is really inspiring. Now at 20 years old, he has set himself up for a great start to life! I hope you enjoy this tour of his wonderful home. It's great to be back! With love, Bryce & Rasa

[@simonrichards150]

Anyone can build a tiny house - it's really not that complicated. But then most people have nowhere to put it... which is the real big obstacle, and one that's been conveniently side-stepped. Can you cut wood, screw it together, connect pipes, connect wires? Of course, anyone can. Can you easily get some land where a mobile home is permitted? Probably not. Can you afford to take time off work, and find a convenient place to build it? Probably not. It might look overly negative when you're trying really, really hard to be "nice", but it seems to me that most of the commenters here are living in the real world where things don't fall into your lap.

The government should build tiny homes like this for all the homeless veterans....

[@bernicehenson7598]

Agree

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

123 Data! Close but WRONG, The government should reopen state and federal lands for use with THE HOMESTEAD ACT, and for veterans maybe kick in a bit for building materials instead of making US (yes, I have almost 30 years in) get huge loans from banks.... In 2009 I wrote emails to over a dozen members of congress suggesting the reopening of the homestead act, at least for retirees and disabled veterans, and pointing out that retirees from the French foreign legion (only takes 15 years with the legion before you can retire) all get a tiny chalet with enough land to grow their own food on... unless they instead request to retire to the vineyards and winery that the legion own (it was donated)... many of the legionaries with bad PTSD stay at the winery as they have their comrades there at all times to help them with their issues.... I wish the American Army had a winery for me to retire to..... back to the emails, NONE of the members of congress liked the idea,it probably has something to do with that guaranteed loan for a big house but only if I stay in the workforce and get some damned job u til the loan is paid off (thirty more fucking years).... cause banks pay congresstards, why else would congress have bailed out the banks but not forced the banks to apply that money towards mortgages? Remember, when the congress bailed out the banks with taxpayer money, they encouraged the banks to evict the taxpayers thathad paid the taxes used to bail out those banks..... Congress was criminal in that!

I've somehow missed this one, watching over the last few years. Not only a British one, but we're actually in Bristol too. We watch this show and despair at how so many of the family ones actually have more useable space in a smaller footprint than our family of 5 does in our badly designed rented 3 bed 1938 end of terrace. Even the 5% deposit mortgages are out of reach when most starter family homes are £250,000+ and you already have your family and rent is 45% of your income with 2 working. There's nothing left to save. Most 3 bed rents are £1000 up in Bristol. I'm delighted this man has looked ahead and can get his apprenticeship done, qualify himself, work and save. I despair as to how we will enable our children to own their own home in this culture, when we can't even give them that in our 30s/40s. Hopefully the tiny home movement will grow here and the British stigma towards living on vehicles like converted buses will change in time for them.

Debt is great for leverage. If you take some debt to finish uni to get a high paying job, then there's no problem paying it back. Or to buy an apartment that you can afford to pay the monthly payments. Problem is dumb people not knowing simple mathematics and being reckless.

i’m glad like him more younger people are rejecting consumerism.

[@wrije]

I wouldn’t say it’s because of his talent, the house is great. It’s the fact he’s living in his (grand)parents backyard. Most people want to move out, not live in a “glorified shed next to your parents” as was stated by another comment I read.

[@nnenne1]

wrije most 20year olds live at home. In Britain, a lot of 30 years old live at home. This young man, has learnt a trade and put it to good use. Anyone that sees a negative in that us a looser. So what, it’s in parent’s garden? It’s still self sufficient and not depending on anything from main house. This boy will 100% be successful, you can just tell.

[@wrije]

nnennem Correct, but slightly. It seems he failed to mention cost of maintenance, electric, plumbing, etc. monthly, as well as other costs such as food/insurance, etc. Most likely for a reason, because it’s not cheap. He lives in a house, badass. Does he pay mortgage on the property? Nope, that’s his grandparents. Does he have his own insurance? Still on their property, so he probably has them pay it. There’s a WHOLE lot you’re missing, he can build a house, that’s nice. But he isn’t self-sustainable in the slightest yet. Good day.

They most likely worked hard for what they have just like this young man I wish people wouldn’t be so negative and would be more supportive.

[@RevStickleback]

I think if it was billed as "20 year old builds a shed he can live in, in his grandparents' back garden" it would be fine. Instead it's implying he has a fully paid-off property like a normal house, when it's not, being both impractical and not even a legal address. The other implication, that anyone could do the same, is obviously misleading too, unless they also had relatives happy to give them land and access for free as well. As for what he has built, yes it's an amazing little project, let down by a lack of storage space and the doorless toilet being right next to the kitchen.

[@wofffefe6342]

My comments are often critical of some homes but this, this is a result I can really appreciate. This is exactly what I really think of when I imagine a tiny home. I know it's a "to each their own" situation but this young man has created an exceptional result and with the use of good ol' recycled pallets, slabs, fighting a wasp nest, and the good fortune to have the grandparents land. The aluminium joinery and larch wood look fabulous. Good work Tom, you've got a bright future ahead of you.
