BUILDING A TINY HOUSE - DIY Full Exterior Build

In this DIY video I solve my own personal housing crisis by building modern tiny house on wheels. This mobile tiny home has a footprint of 11'x30' and a livable 300 SQ FT of floor space. In this long, detailed, narrated video I show you how to build every step of the entire exterior; from a bare trailer to finished home including how to frame the tiny home, how to make the roof, insulating the floor, sheathing, installing door and windows, steel roofing, vinyl siding install and everything else along the way.

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 🎥

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.

[@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 👍

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!

@@patriciaburt1772 Yup...and I'm 70 and a wheelchair user since I was 12. Went to college while working full time nights and weekends. Worked FT after grad school, but never had enough income to afford to buy something. Blessings on you for deciding to build your own. Beautiful job.

Watched the whole video. Your content is so comforting, laidback but at the same time inspiring and filled with amazing details to learn along the way! Was not a too long video, enjoyed every minute of it. You're making the world a better place with your humble and kind attitude.

[@martanawrocka5755]

IT was pure pleasure to watch it all over again. I admire your skills. Greatings from Poland ❤

[@Pooyuh]

This is insane!! The planning for this and editing was on point!! I can’t imagine

[@aniket.khade27]

Absolute mad respect for you mate. This is the only long format vid that I didn't speed up or FF and watched it in it's entirety. You've done some amazing work on this channel, but this is the benchmark of your skills. Loved the cinematography, the explanations, time-lapses where needed and detailed explanations where required. I reckon this is one the most comprehensive tiny house builds out there, and you've only showcased the exterior. You'll hit a million subs with this series no worries at all. Cheers legend.

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-jn2gt2nr7b]

😂🎉😅😮😢🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂)

[@louscannonmagoo9989]

Epic build. Can't wait to see you do the basement and wine cellar. Fantastic attention to detail. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rodyjperez7659]

You are doing a great job on explaining the work to make it understandable!

[@1steelersfan2012]

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!

[@xavtek]

I am so glad you did not make this video a 15 parts series ! Love the longer video, especially when it’s from you !

[@rhircyn]

Lasted the whole video in a couple of sittings. So you are welcome. You have made me feel like I can actually do this, with time, patience, and maybe a guiding hand as I peruse through any of your relevant videos or from other content creators.

[@JHPetway]

Just came across your blog, Kudo's on make a great decision early in your life. Let me say this first That lawn mower is a joke, get yourself a zero turn. your life will so much easier. This is a gift. enjoy it.

[@amstroh]

I like how the builds continue to grow in not only size, but sophistication as your channel does. This is awesome man, wishing you all the best!

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

I appreciate that!

[@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.

[@christyswanberg5854]

Honestly have loved how long this video is. I appreciate time-lapses for builds, but as someone wanting to LEARN, this has been amazing

[@JustTipy]

First a micro camper,an exquisite bus then a truck camper( love the trim and tiles)and now a tiny house,You are all so talented💕

[@aaroncook8890]

Don't be shy about making longer format videos! I love your attention to detail and how you cover absolutely everything and I have no issue pausing a video and resuming it the next day. We don't usually consume most books in one sitting, not sure why we feel we have to with videos

[@daan2oo7]

I like it really more when they are long! So great

[@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!

[@joehendrych2984]

You couldn’t make videos that are to long! Love the insight and could watch this forever. Thank you so much for the value you provide! Absolutely invaluable and extremely helpful and inspiring

[@hennies9509]

Son, I am proud of you, I am so happy to see youngsters like you who do not mind tackling a project that size and completing it, from an old soldier from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@nagitosimp5608]

I like how different you are compared to most diy youtubers who either give a rough explanation of what there doing or dont say anything at all and you give a really detailed explanation so your audience can also follow along and you making the plans free is just amazing!

[@Buzzkillinggton]

My 4 year old son absolutely loves watching Drew Build Stuff. He inspired me to build the skirting for my 5th wheel instead of contracting it out. Not only did it save me probably $2500 but the feeling of accomplishment afterwards took the cake. Keep doing your thing Drew!

[@destinyreinhart]

It’s coming along nicely! Sorry to hear about your shoulder. My mom’s having shoulder surgery tomorrow. Can’t wait till the next video to see the final product. Wishing you the best.

[@charlenefoster6779]

I watched this entire video. Enjoyed every moment. Old carpenters daughter here. I have many hours of working on houses under my belt. Sure appreciate your work ethic and competence. Can’t wait until the inside is done!

[@D4RW1N1SM]

1:11:25 I would 100% watch a six-hour DrewBuildsStuff video. I always want more of your content.

[@georgemiller6930]

I second this!!

[@ST-mo5hv]

66 year old from Shropshire UK. Watched in one sitting. Fascinating watching you work. Lovely house to be proud of. 👏

[@AlinaNicoleee]

Love these longer videos that captures everything in one go without having to search for the different parts. Especially when they are this well done! Like you said I’m glad you explained everything you did without skipping anything. Best video I’ve watched in a while.

[@carmencook7671]

I did watch the whole video. Couldn't wait for the end result. You are my hero. Si talented detailed and determined. GREAT JOB

[@timmcmurray1370]

Drew, this was a looong video. I am kinda old (72) so my attention span can be pretty short. I watched this video in its entirety in one setting. I really appreciate the amount of detail you went into. I have been intrigued by tiny houses for a long time. At this age, I probably won’t build one but it’s nice to get a detailed look at the process. Thanks for a great video. I have subscribed and am looking forward to seeing you finish out the interior. PS my wife and I built (finished) our 1300sqft home in 1984. We still live in it.

[@catmaaske1908]

57 but fully agree with Timmy here. I don’t think this was too long. Very informative.

[@adrianapopa7996]

Wow This young man he’s so intelligent good job and God bless you

[@je_yyy4]

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 😌👌🏽

[@deepakmramesh2662]

I just want you to know, that you got a fan from the southern most part of India, from a coastal city called Chennai, approximately 6500 miles away from you. And I am a hero, coz I watched the video from the start to finish. And what a coincidence, that the two of my favorite KZbinrs have got the same first name, you and Drew Simms.

[@KuyakoyProductions]

I am a silent viewer. I really enjoyed watching your videos. So satisfying

[@Facts4You-jy2eb]

It doesn't take a hero to watch this entire video. You're the hero. This little house is a masterpiece! And you're a fellow Canadian.

[@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 😂

[@LP.001]

not bored to watch because you explain everything not just filming it. Thanks a lot! Build on!

[@cjjackson5665]

Enjoy the video. I really enjoyed your voice overs. It was not too long. I enjoyed how you edit great work. I’m glad you chased your dream. This gives me a nice template and more motivation to go after my DIY mobile home.❤️‍🔥👏🏾🔥🔥
