Carpenter Builds Tiny House Truck With 80% Recycled Materials On A Truck Frame - Full Tour

One of the biggest regrets regarding my skoolie build is not using as many recycled materials as this builder did. As mentioned at the end of the video, this amazing rig is up for sale. A link as well as their blog will be linked below. You will also find a link to my other channel and my online store.

No matter how many of these videos I watch I'm amazed every time at the creative geniuses that build homes of every type one can imagine and the lifelong friendships from teaching and helping one another.

[@BonnieBae]

Not only does this home give me hope but so does the man. The creative genius is so beautifully expressed.

[@kpatterson7]

15 minutes in and loving this guy! Somebody raised him right! We need more people like this in the world!

I watch You Tube and I understand that some people are not into quick gratification when it comes to sharing. Sometimes I start then come back later, like today. This is a likeable person who gives some great info as he is telling his story! I will watch later and be grateful for this story teller. I may listen while driving to an appointment, then watch parts some other time.

[@goodliving2171]

LK4484 Lamb I listened to it in 3 segments. I love how he repurposed materials. I love beautiful wood. I am very serious about recycling & upcycling and being frugal. There are always better areas to spend money or to save it or give to hose in need. Do you have wolves or is it a picture of some or a different breed. I am very interested, thanks. Blessings.

[@LK-by2cq]

@@goodliving2171 I am an older person who listens to many youth books on CD. I listened recently to a series featuring wolves, then searched for a picture of wolves to remind me of their beauty..

[@ednajohnson2190]

Outstanding build. You have definitely thought everything through and then some. Beautiful job. I'm so sorry that you have this home up for sale. Clearly you love Bertha as it shows through your tutorial. Of course, you know what your plans for the future are and I have no doubt that your next "project" will be built with love. Good luck to you and your fiance. Thanks for sharing this stunning home.

[@KELLSEY444]

This dude is an incredible artist and a very articulate communicator. His reasoning and practices are admirable. Wow. I hope this treasure of a build provides him and his fiance' the resources they need to expand and solidify their future. Ms. Bertha is spectacular!

[@paulettehammond8738]

I really love his philosophy....reuse, recycle, re-purpose. This is the way we should be moving now, to save the planet. It was worth the 1+ hour of watching. Best wishes to him and his fiance..

[@roziebee5512]

I love that this is not just another walk through video and actually shares the story about why they did the build and how. Many of the tour videos just become repetitive and underwhelming after watching hundreds? of them.

[@HendersonDebbie]

You are AWESOME! This is a beautiful home! I love the attention to detail and of course the quality of your dream and the deep beauty of your wood and how you used it! Kudos to you!

[@kiefferkeepinon828]

I'm not sure how I've missed this video, as I've been subscribed for a long time. I LOVE this build. It would be hard to know this is on a truck. The gorgeous interior truly feels like a traditional home! While it's long, and that's coming from a gal with ADhD, this talented man is a great story teller and I was fascinated by his process. Thank you for your hard work! Now, going back in your archives to see what else I've missed...🤔😁

[@pamelascott3383]

I swear. I watch these Tiny Home Tours to see any and all such videos but for some reason YT keeps routing the ones I've have seen so much that I'm tired of watching them. Just said to this morning there has to be more videos than those posted over and over.

[@nevaehsmiracleconnieelliot2297]

I'm sorry that you have to find Bertha a new home, but I hope that the new owner has just as much love for her as you do ❤️💗 i know she's precious to you and your family and I hope that the new owner will take care of her like you do good luck on the next chapter of your family's life ♥️🙏🏻☺️

I'm very impressed by this guy, he has it going on. Awesome work.

[@mariansaldo1]

I am happy he spoke and said what he did. I normally won't watch any video over an hour long but I put this on for some reason. I got so many great ideas and questions answered. Thank you, thank you a thousand times over. I feel excited again. I wish you and your fiance nothing but the best!

[@rose8662]

I love this guy's attention to detail and feel sad that they need to sell her. Hoping they'll be able to get property and keep Bertha. 💖 I also appreciate his skill level and resourcefulness.

[@dsddala467]

Good gawd, this guy just rambled on and on and on...about how awesome he is. I never felt like there was a pan or a zoom out to really see his full layout. Most unenjoyable video I have ever watched from Tiny Home Tours.

[@terrisimmers9784]

To put so much into her and have to part with her makes me cry.

This was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL build! Love his passion for his rig AND his analysis of his relationship! Great build and great outlook on life!

[@wednesdayadams1984]

Great video. He answered all the questions of how he got the materials, his inspiration, and some of the issues he discovered while building his home. I wish you would do some non-travelling small home videoes as well.

I love this video . He’s a genius. I love his passion, and his detail. Sad he’s having to sell , he truly loves her .

I'm seeing a bunch of criticism of the length of this video.... but I found it fascinating and enjoyed the visit! But was so surprised at the end to learn that the rig is for sale :-O I do hope the perfect next owner materializes. Obviously it will be someone who appreciates how all those materials were reused and recycled.

[@shandelebroyles1099]

Actually there isn't that much criticism. You must have just read one comment and assumed. You know what happens when you assume.?

It's been 25 minutes and we're still in the entryway.. but I can't stop watching. The guy is full of knowledge and stories.. and this video is on a whole other level than any other tiny home video i've ever watched!

[@lindamyfatcatcow2606]

Unlike some of the other viewers, I found this fascinating. Beautiful craftsmanship, and remarkable ability to repurpose! I learned a few things. I’m in love with the vintage stove ... just beautiful and adds a lovely touch to the home.

[@illbeyourstumbleine]

I think his pride in his home showed. To explain a build like that in anything less than an hour would be a disservice to his work, effort, craftsmanship and the end product. There is a theory why soccer never took off in the United States like other countries where it is basically huge and the number 1 sport everywhere else. It's that we are too impatient and need to see results right away i.e. basketball. I think this video is another example of that. We just want to see the pictures with perhaps a brief explanation, not hear this artist talk in detail about his work, his home. The very rude comments are quite a shame. He opened up his home and people are cruel about his pride in that, make me sad and a bit embarrassed honestly. That's just my 2 cents for the 3 people that had the time to read what I even wrote since it was more than 2 sentences 😜

[@terribelle3]

Complete NoMadness I know you don't have vids to chose from, but this deserved a sub from me! 💕

[@Ladyhawk1623]

I was also fascinated with this presentation. I’ll bet that most of us that were fascinated are the ones who have been sharing information about using recycled and job leftovers, including possibilities of using my own furniture to create a home reminiscent of the original builds from 2013 (give of take a year or two) that started the movement. I was watching KZbin videos then and I’m finally in a place in my life where I’m now seriously going forward! I’ve watched the Tiny House evolve in so many ways! SO excited and soaking up everything I can to now begin my new journey. I believe it helps to realistically know and face all the pros and cons with hundreds of ideas and notes! I’ve certainly accumulated that and more! Wish me luck! 😁

[@andrealow1228]

[@bethanyday3471]

This is one of the most informative videos I have seen in so long, I really appreciative the indepth explanation of every aspect of the build. It's super helpful for those of us actually interested in the topic. It's pretty disgusting how most of these people don't have the patience for a simple hour, a short, short, mili-second of their full life worth of an hour to actually LEARN about tiny home building a surviving.

Amazing achievement, thoroughly and thoughtfully described and shared. We aim to do the same, so much destruction we don't want to add to it, a great way to do a little bit to ease up on landfills, too. Respect for our home planet, or we won't have one we can live on! Beautiful ethos and home, thanks!

[@goodliving2171]

Debra Moss I agree with you. Because we have ruined the planet to the extent to where it is so polluted now, we have more hurricane and tsunamis. It will get worse and worse with earthquakes and floods from these plus the melting of the icebergs, as predicted in the end times. When man is no longer on the earth, it will be renewed. What a slap in the face, to put it mildly, when we had been given such a wonderful planet to live on. Blessings.

He has a ton of tricks and tips and pros and cons and he talks about his trials and troubleshooting which will save people a ton of time, money and effort. I appreciate him sharing. I enjoy people who have a story to tell for everything that comes in and out of their lives, people like this are rare to find because we live in such a fast-paced world. I'm glad you did not cut down to 20 min and you let this guy just go on and on. I know this is a long video and a lot of people probably don't appreciate it but I do. This is one of your best videos that I've ever seen. Great job!

[@kerriewilliams3704]

Your soooo right about the 'some people sleep 10 in a room' (and how this lifestyle can be so 'alternative' BUT its actually luxury to have such a home in so many cultures.

The engine is what I envy. I would love to drive that. I got checked out on a ten speed manual reserve fire engine that only hypothetically was still in service so it rarely got driven but you really feel like a driver when you can manage that. I can't believe the next generation will be using self driving vehicles so there's another skill lost.

Nice home! Craftsmanship to be proud of! However I'd replace the tires immediately. They look sketchy. Check for a local chapter of Antique Truck Historical Society. They may be able to hook you up with truck parts and tires. Great rig!

You sound like taking this step was a measure of growth for the both of you. The length of the video was okay for you to express your satisifaction with the project. I get it that not everyone is a bible reader, but this reassures for me personally the thought behind the promise at Isaiah 65:21,22: "They will build houses ... the work of their hands [they] ... will enjoy to the full."

This was a rough one to watch. I can listen to someone talk about stuff and grasp what they're saying but for someone with an attention disorder it's hard to focus on someone speaking and not moving for this long during the clips. There could've been a lot more background footage of showing off the build while he was speaking about the topics. There just wasn't enough, I guess immersion. Just skimmed through the second half to where it wasn't just a talking head on screen. I know this is an older video and the quality has gone WAYYYY up since this, just a small complaint. Definitely could've been edited better. The length on the video didn't bother me one bit, it's the content of what's being shown that dragged on.
