BUILDING A TINY HOUSE - DIY Full Exterior Build

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Thanks so much the overwhelming support! There's a ton of comments and I'm trying to respond to a lot of them but there is just that - a lot. A lot of people were asking about Supers so I just enabled Super Thanks on here as a new way to support the channel. I'll be more personally answering most of the Super comments that come in the next little while 😀. Also, taking a couple days to relax but I'll have the plans out sometime this week! Thanks for watching, more on the way 🎥

Absolutely beautiful work Drew. Also brilliant video production. I spent 40 + years in production. Well Done.

Hey Drew. I’m a local trucker that has been driving by your place all summer seeing you progress a little more with each load I haul. I’ve been very impressed with how nice it’s been looking. This is very inspiring. I also have kids that may never get to move out unless they do something similar. I’ll keep checking it out on my trips by. If you hear the air horns , it’s likely me. Build on!

I sense that you will be successful with any of your endeavors. I'm Canadian watching your excellent video from South America.

[@jeffbergstrom]

While I get this build is in response to expensive home prices I am not sure even this moneys out as "inexpensive." This build is currently around $165/square foot (US...I did the conversion). And it is not done yet. There is all the interior stuff, heating/cooling and appliances to add to it. Then consider wherever this ends up it will have to pay to rent or lease some land to sit on and get sewage and electric hookups. For comparison, the median cost per square foot in the Chicago metro area is $258 per square foot. I am betting this will be close (and that is ignoring the cost of labor which...in this case...was mostly "free" because he built it himself...still needed some help). If you had to pay someone to build this the costs would sail past that $258/square foot mark with ease and it is not "cheap" anymore.

My husband is a self taught silversmith and he noticed the same thing you mentioned when trying to learn from KZbin. Namely, they would skip steps that were EXACTLY what he needed to know. So I LOVE that you're striving to explain ALL the steps. Because, unless someone shows you, you don't know what you don't know. So thanks for doing it right. It's about GD time somebody did!!

[@Edu.3]

You, sir, are one of the handful of creators on KZbin that I would easily dedicate 2 hours to. This is incredible!

My wife and I have been building houses ourselves for 30+ years. We include lots of amenities on every build, but one everyone loves is a night-light circuit that is on at dusk and off at dawn. My wife puts small LEDs under the toe-kick of the bathroom cabinets, in the toilet room fans, and along any stairs we have. Its amazing having just enough light in the middle of the night when you get up so that you don't fall on your face in the dark.

[@five_oh_rino]

I prefer these long videos, honestly. Total immersion in the process, and your narration of what I'm watching is always fantastic. Your no fear approach to these builds blows my mind. Looking forward to the interior build, keep up the great work!

[@FlickerFeline]

Huge respect for sharing your plans for free and taking the time to explain everything. Your videos aren’t just entertaining-they’re genuinely helpful. Thanks for making content that actually teaches instead of just showing what you’re doing!

[@drewisdreaming]

personally, i really like the longer videos, whether they're 1 hour or 3 hours :) they're great to watch/listen to when i'm busying my hands doing something else-your narration is calm and easy to follow even while multitasking, but the editing style and way you present the build ensures that i never get bored watching or feel any less entertained even when the video is my sole focus. so i vote for the longer videos, especially for builds like this that are very in-depth and long track :) great work as always!

[@akhagee4707]

And with the tap to rewind feature, if you happen to be looking away and hear a really intriguing part you can see it again really easily.

I never would have guessed I would be enthralled by someone building a tiny house for over an hour and a half, but I'm now excited to see the interior being built! Thank you for a perfect amount of detail. This is truly an impressive build.

Wow… I can’t believe I am just now seeing this. This is honestly one of the most impressive builds I have ever seen. Your craftsmanship, attention to detail, effort etc. all 10/10. The way you incorporated every single detail into this video is perfect as well as very helpful and honestly gives me the courage to try this myself as I am also sickened by the housing market right now.

[@Scorlyp]

I am amazed by the amount of work you have done. I have watched many videos of construction crews at work, but to do this practically alone is very impressive! And that's not even counting the time it took to film and edit. The length of the video is perfect, in my opinion. 1.5 hours is just enough time to see all the details and not get bored. I repeat, very impressive, I watched it almost without skipping anything!

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed watching it, that was always my goal to produce top quality content that doesn’t skip on the details!

[@allyncollins359]

Awesome job! I built my tiny house (16'x24') on 5 ft concrete piers. It's not going anywhere! So many memories came back while I was watching you! I was 63 when I built it, never used a power tool, and it took 80 days. I had help with the electric and plumbing but have had to redo much of it since it wasn't done correctly. There is nothing like the freedom knowing that you have a solid build and a forever home. Congratulations!

Fantastic job!!

[@arnegerhardsen3755]

Dear Drew. You told this was your first real build, but you looks like an experienced builder. You told about the importence in using the same basic plank as the basis for cutting all all of them. As an 17 year boy with less builder skills an experienced builder came once a day and gave some instructions. He measured the placement of 75 rafters for me, but measured with two different base sticks on each side where one were 3 mm longer, this of course offset the rafters more than 20 cm on one of the sides. An importent lesson for me. Best wishes from Arne in Norway

For the scale of what you're building, this length of video makes perfect sense! I love long-format content, especially when it's as information-dense as your content. It's great to see a first-timer tackling a large-scale build, learning and sharing their knowledge along the way. Keep it up!

Fantastic job. For anyone that runs across windows like this, they are correct just a different style. Drew installed them correctly and did the flashing outside correctly. What you would do to seal them from the inside is use expanding foam made specifically for doors and windows. It helps insulate the window gaps and expands with less force to keep them from bowing or warping the windows/doors. Lastly if you are thinking about starting a project like this to build your own home, know that it is a lot of work and a lot of headache learning so many new things. It is, however, one of the most rewarding things you could experience and it sets you up extremely well skill and knowledge wise for any future adventures. You can absolutely accomplish this. Hope this helps anyone that runs across a similar issue.

Hi Drew. A proof that young people can be an inspiration to "old" people like myself: I am now 53 years old and from Western Europe. After a whole life of doing things that I learned to like (and detest) out of necessity or due to circumstances, I have decided after watching so many construction videos to finally do something for the first time in my life that I WANT to do: I signed up for a carpenter degree in a Comunity College in the US, starting next January. My aim? Building my own house. And then build more, aka making a living with it. I will probably make way less then what I made up until now, but if I can choose between making a decent living (aka a good life, but never rich) or being happy ... well, the coice is not difficult for me. So yes, watching you "build stuff" makes my hands unvoluntarily feel for a hammer and nails. Thanks and congrats for building up so many followers. I hope you make a decent living out of your YT presence, people like you deserve it. Again, hard work (and talent) pays.

I just love everything about your videos. The detailed commentary on the construction steps, the background music, the length of the videos, the attention to detail... Unfortunately, it's not quite possible to do such projects here, but I'm all the more happy when I see these videos of your projects! Keep up the good work! Grüße aus Deutschland. Du lebst meinen Traum 😌👌🏽

[@clarkiepakinga9716]

Whether your videos are half hour or 6hr long makes no difference to me, it's the fact that you take the time to explain everything you do and why you do it, that I enjoy, keep up the vids and don't change.

Looking forward to watching this video with my husband! We’re buying land for a home next year and we want a tiny home with a personal touch to live in while we build our dream home. We’ll be using the tiny home as a guest house. I already know this build will be amazing!

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Thank you, hope you like it!

[@ShannonKnight]

I watched your entire video, and it was exactly what my husband and I needed as we’re building a tiny house on our land. The way you explained each step-from framing to the finishing details-was clear and easy to follow. I really appreciate how you maximized the 11'x30' space on the trailer, and the fact that you filmed everything with just a single camera and tripod was impressive. It made the process feel straightforward and down-to-earth. Thanks for sharing your experience-it’s been a huge help as we work on our own build!

[@annelopez2502]

❤ I'm 83yrs old senior woman and I will never do this but ,I really enjoyed all the work and energy that you put in this home, fantastic ,enjoy your life in your home, amazing, I know nothing of much work it took you to do this but I was not bored at all. Blessings

[@cattervr]

I wish you would understand just how much your work helps me mentally. Watching this inspires me a lot and immediately brings out my work-loving side that I have since I was a little kid, instead of me just being unmotivated all day, doing nothing. I can't thank you enough for it! Also much respect for your ideas, works and builds! This house looks like a beautiful modern virtual house in a virtual social game (talking 'bout VRChat) but in real life. Literally a dream!

I watched again last night and thought of some points to mention for the inside. - You might consider stairs to the loft instead of a ladder. I've seen tiny homes that put drawers or cabinets in the stairs for storage. If high enough, a small stackable washer and dryer combo might work. Also, going down stairs instead of a ladder when sick would be easier. - A similar design to your couch/bed in the camper van would provide storage for the living area. - A fold down table on a wall would save walking room when not in use and could double as a dining and office surface. - A countertop toaster oven can do most anything a full size oven can and could be put in a cabinet overhead to save room. - If you go for a free standing bathroom sink instead of a vanity, you might consider niches or shelves with baskets for towels and extra bathroom products. I'm sure you've thought of these, but I thought I'd go ahead and mention them. Again, can't wait to see the inside! Best wishes!

[@jjudy5869]

I second the stairs. I would also be sure I could make a bed and/or sleep on the main floor if illness or an injury made it impossible to climb a ladder or stairs.

[@wendydawson2053]

This video was SOOO enjoyable - well filmed, entertaining and knowledgable. No head trips, ego or posing. Outstanding, thanks so much!

[@nromagnola]

This could not be cooler. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is first rate. As someone who has only a small amount of handiness, it’s an inspiration to learn more and tackle new projects. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this project and this video!

[@MrSamooska]

Honestly probably wouldn't even notice if this was 6 hours long, this 1:40 flew by. I found your channel when you made the doggo house and I've loved everything you've made so far. It's a shame that the UK is too dense and crowded, i'd love to build something like this and just move around, unfortunately our country doesn't really allow for it. Excellent work and i'm looking forward to the inside!

[@lovelight4763]

I think you should not only be PROUD and Commended for enthusiasm and a Job well done!!! I'm inpressed!!!

[@akumawraith2803]

My wife and I watched this entire epidosde in one sitting and we love what you did, the Cedar poaneling around the three windows looked beautiful! Great Job! I for one love the extended content as I enjoy the commentary.

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!!

[@patrickmorris88]

I fell asleep watching another video and woke up to this and it kept my full attention the entire time. As someone with ADHD that says a lot. I’m amazed by this and can’t wait to start the next video. Liked and subscribed!!

[@katoniaharrison77]

Your builds are so clean and precise!! This video didn’t seem too long for all you did! You didn’t use too many unnecessary words or over embellish. I enjoyed watching this build😊

[@MrBlack.]

Hum, I guess I'm your hero twice now. But YOU are my first go to builder for the best step-by-step DIY instructions. So... YOU are my hero too. (grins) I'm starting to marathon watch all the stuff that Drew Builds. Pleased to see how well your channel is doing. That means we can look forward to much more from Drew. I can't wait to see the actual MANSION Drew is one day going to build, but hey, I'm 74 now and originally from Drew's area as well. But I'll likely have to look in on that from the next great adventure, me thinks. Well done and happy building, Drew.

[@boysrus61]

It always amazes me that someone can just build something like this. I love to watch any length videos, and even tho I have only a slight idea on some of the things you are talking about, I enjoy it none-the-less. Beautiful. Your skills are really on point! Thanks for sharing.

[@PitcherExcavationLandscapeLLC]

Great craftsmanship in this build. No corners cut, and even focusing on super small details most people would not pay attention to. Great progress, I’m stoked to see the interior when finished!

[@web-craft]

Even the corners he did cut are beautiful 😂

[@mackiemccauley4647]

First of all I wish you a happy, healthy and long life. I stumbled across your video and thought maybe I could get 3 or 4 minutes in but I was hooked and watched it straight through. You are an incredible young man that any parent would be so proud to have as a son. I learned so much about construction. If my tiny home had been built under your supervision I would have never sold it. The attention to detail and your passion for getting it executed so beautifully is amazing. I look forward to watching the interior finish out. Thank you for going the extra mile to explain everything you were doing. Well done!

[@osrsdaily4261]

I watched the whole build. i didnt want to at the start but i had to see every step. Thank you so much! You should be proud of yourself.

[@preciousstone2782]

MAANNNN. YOUR EXECUTION OF THIS PROJECT IS SUPERB! THE DESIGN IS SPECTACULAR....I FIND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE!

[@piCksenn]

I'm blown away by your creativity and ingenuity, Drew! Your videos are always so inspiring, and I love seeing the process you go through to bring your ideas to life. You have such a knack for taking simple materials and turning them into something truly amazing. I'm especially impressed by your attention to detail and your commitment to quality. You can tell that you put your heart and soul into every project. I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I've learned so much from you. You've taught me the importance of patience, perseverance, and a willingness to experiment. You've also shown me that it's possible to achieve anything if you set your mind to it. Thank you for sharing your passion with the world, Drew. You're a true inspiration!

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Hey thanks so much! Simple materials can make beautiful things. Most of this house came from hardware stores

[@rufiorufioo]

I just bought a house in the country. It's 1 acre, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, for $325k... I decided to just buy a house right now instead of waiting any longer. It took me 7 years to save up. I bought it in cash. Zero mortgage. I'm 38, unfortunately. You seem to be ahead of the game here, for sure. Great work. I did look into buying a pre-built Tiny home but needed land with a leech field installed and utilities. No matter what, if you don't own the land, it's expensive. The great thing is that you can always resale this tiny home and get all your money back! If you want, get yourself some 5G internet in that bad boy! A tiny home here in the States, basically the same one you have here, is 70k USD finished with a sleeping loft. OH and routers are absolutely amazing to have. So happy when you pulled the router out 👍

[@charaleebaviera5789]

I watched the whole build and this is the only video I have found so far that shows the instructions on a tiny build that follows like abcs . Thank u . This gives me inspiration that I can build my own tiny home.

[@rishiraj3515]

Your are an example of never giving up love your ideas man ❤

[@paulmckeown2423]

What an amazing journey, an absolute pleasure to watch. I'm a joiner/carpenter for near on 40 years Drew and your skill set is as someone else has commented most seen in older tradesmen. You have put numerous so called tradesmen to shame that I know. 👍🏻👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@DS315LUFC]

For me, your videos cannot be 'too long'. So relaxing to just sit back and watch. Tiny house looks amazing, can't wait to see the work on the inside.

[@chickonasportbike598]

Was heading to watch a movie until I saw this video. I didn’t find a movie because I just watched one of the best documentary’s on building a tiny house from scratch! I watched thee whole thing! You narrated this perfectly and it was a joy watching this! There’s only one other DIY KZbinr that I watch the whole content consistently and that’s @$1 House. I’ll be watching the rest of your videos until you finish the house because I need some ideas on how to finish the inside of one so next year I plan to go the same route as you did. Great job and I would not be opposed to a two hour video from you as your video was awesome! And I liked your music, quite the talented guy! And yes, I subscribed!

[@pcrifasi]

I watched the entire 1 1/2 hour, and it was great!. I've built homes and adapted a school into condos, but watching you is still a learning experience. I am fascinated with small home design. You are doing "the state of the art" for homes that are affordable and attractive. Great job.

[@EnGammalAmazon]

Great work. I've been designing and building handcrafted log homes for over 55 years. I started the same way you did. The only problem was there was no KZbin, no schools and no books on the subject. I learned by looking at old log homes up in B.C., taking lots of photos and then studying them. I did what worked and avoided mistakes that were obvious. There really is nothing to big to take on if you have desire, courage and access to a few tools and a place to work. Again, great work, Drew!

[@marshallmann7620]

[@marie-anneneveu3472]

I am a 75 years old grandmère of three boys, and I love Tiny Houses, before it became a things years ago ...I converted a brick cable roof workshop into a self design interior Tiny house , I lived in it for over three years while turning the main fully furnished main 4/2 house into a AirBNB before it also became a popular thing ...all this before the internet WiFi or KZbin back in mid 90's, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video, thank you for sharing❤👍👏👏🤩🎉

[@sandralnwebster3204]

Congrats to you on keeping busy and enjoying restoring old builds! I loved watching every minute of this build and admire those people who opt out of mundane living and attempt to construct their own housing! Bonjour from BC, Sandy&Andy😊😊

Second time watching this video and still learning new stuff. Great content perfect length of video. Love you Drew!

This was such a treat to watch. Both the quality of the build and the cinematography. I loved the long format, and can't wait for the next part. Great job Drew Builds Stuff.
