Off-Grid Tiny House Homestead - Amazing DIY Timber Frame Tiny Home

[@faithrada]

This is what I'm talking about. For me, the fact that they OWN their own piece of land makes ALL the difference.

[@ellenhal1537]

I found the chapters in kzbin.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU to be very relevant to my project as I embarked on building my first ever structure from the ground up. I especially found this Ryan’s Shed Plans to be of great use when it came to building the roof. I was able to do all the cuts and installation by myself, with a little reference to this Ryan’s Shed Plans.

Q 1

[@rosekisiel3383]

I love seeing young people learning to live a full life without being beholden to a government system. Remember our forebears didnt have our luxuries and they lived amazing lives. We cannot let basic living skills become a Obsolete.

[@kimyellowhorse7582]

So many things have been "forgotten" in this modern age. Food preservation, herbal remedies and natural medicines, even sewing and gardening! My grandkids would be lost if shtf I'm afraid. Especially if KZbin wasn't available. 😂

The ancient way of building is always better!!! Beautiful house💖

This film is unique and completely different from all others. If you listen carefully to the story of these two people is about the love between them and the friendship with the people they helped. Very rare nowadays and so worthy of emphasis and big respect.

[@jewelssylva3738]

WOW‼️💲30,000‼️ It will be a long while before anyone will be able to afford to build a charming timber house like this beauty for that price. But it should be around for a long while itself.

Could easily double/triple cost if someone else provided labor.

[@lucygray6162]

Not at all difficult. As you said yourself below, he did it himself. There are schools who teach young students how to build them for less than $25K. People today think they can't, and so they don't. It's easier to sit at home and watch other people do it. We need another generation of hippies who create and build alternative housing. Current housing already costs way beyond the means of young people. Get off your butts or be prepared to live in tents under the interstate. If you have to hire help, don't grudge paying them for their work.

I'm blown away by the creativity, frugalness, and inventive genius in the build of this tiny home! Great job!!

[@mars-cs4uk]

Here you go again, I just met an awesome couple. You have a lot of time in your hand, so see within you OR inward. I think the purpose of human life is to get enlightenment. Most people can't do it because they are all living in a materialistic world and pay bills for to rest of their life. I am really happy for you guys.

BEAUTIFUL & CREATIVE BUILD OF YOUR TINY HOME. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@blackmonday738]

Sweetness, I wanna do this sooo bad. I feel stuck, single mother and hate City life Anymore. Since my fiances passing , I've been lost & stuck. How EVER I'm grateful for my daughter and life it's self.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Hope you’re able to get out of city life in the future. Best wishes to you & your daughter ❤️

[@lucygray6162]

Overall, one of the best designs of the thousands I've looked at. The eight-feet of empty floor makes the place appear much roomier. Lowering the loft also takes away the "I can't breathe" feeling in most lofts. Claire scampered up the short ladder like a baby goat. Storage beneath the loft was clever. I've already put that skinny refrigerator on my list. Living in a rural spot, you don't have the luxury of running to a store twice a week. Oh, and the awning which opens onto the deck...and the big shower...they really put a lot of thought into this. I hope this works out for both them and the neighbors.

[@tinyhomewildadventures]

We love this comment! Thank you!

[@theresasutton6311]

My very favorite. What this couple did for fresh air, views. Open space and timber construction was just outstanding and beautiful

[@genjii931]

Some brilliant ideas here. The shower and the power trailer especially appeal to me, plus the side that opens up and becomes an awning.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Love the power trailer with covered porch! Need one for our tiny 😁

[@dominicc6049]

Completely agree…very resourceful and unique…those features along with the timber framing really set this one apart from your basic tiny house. Really impressive.

[@MusafirsSoul]

That is really amazing

[@allie1953]

"A relationship with the wood" is an excellent way to express what goes into the type of craftsmanship you put into this build!

[@movielover139]

I have been so hooked on this old new way of living.., because of the way big companies and corrupt politicians have mislead and duped their employers over all these years it's gotten to the point of just to live you, have to slave your entire life away so that others can profit off of your struggle and hard work to survive. What stands out most to me about this tiny house is the great designing and overall excellent way they thought of their needs and wants from their space , and the way it worked out so well and beautifully in functional life living. Also the fact that having a hot woman whose into all of the hard work it takes to help make it a reality. So my hats off to both of them. Great job !!!

Awesome Tiny home!!! My second tiny home I traded in my rv for a new one in July! We were gonna renovate it into a tiny home, but it needed alot of work!

Cinnamon toast crunch!!!!!!! Yes!!! My dad used to go to the US to get me boxes when we didn't have them in Canada in the 80's and early 90's. I love this design, respect! With such an open space like this, and those really neat seats, I can imagine a table top being lowered from one of the sides of the roof. There's so much open space.

Another alternative for off grid energy would be a wind turbine.It can be adapted to your site as well. This couple could put poles or towers fastened to their solar trailer. To get the wind you need. I can only see height as the only obstacle. A vawt style uses lower wind speeds vs a hawt. Also a wind turbine doesn't need the sun to work. Just wind.

i think your tiny home is my favorite that ive ever seen. i am 56 and going to change my lifestyle when i retire. im going back and forth between tiny home and van life how much did your home cost to build? how much does it cost to fill your water, how much does it cost to dump your trash, and how loud is your generator? if you are having to run your air or your heat all the time do you use the generator for that, and how long will it last ? what does your generator run off of? thank you in advance! and kudos!! lori

[@faithrada]

For me, especially as one ages, the choice of Tiny House over Van life is the far better way to go. Especially if one has to deal with winter weather. Living in a house vs a vehicle just seems like a more secure and sustainable situation.

Very well thought out tiny house and property! -- You have married the best of both worlds! CA can be a challenging state to manage your budget. We built our 988 sq ft cottage in 2016, in the woods of New Hampshire, at the base of our family farm. That said, we are both in our 70s and I needed a larger farm kitchen. Full walk-out basement replaces a garage. Carport makes it more friendly in the rain and snow. Its all a matter of your personal needs. You both are miles ahead of making off- grid doable.

[@kelliethorne1200]

"New style of building?!?!?!" You crack me up! The Japanese have been timber framing for thousands of years! A beautiful build, but probably too heavy for most trailers.

[@lucygray6162]

It's new to him. As far as it being too heavy, you apparently didn't notice the overall support system. So much for being an expert on timber framing. Try being snarky somewhere else.

[@tlee4218]

Europe also built many buildings this way. He probably meant new for our time but said it wrong

[@jbster211]

@Kellie Thorne It IS a "new style of building" for tiny homes. Not many have done it. Don't know why though. It's exactly what I want to do. And I don't agree with the too heavy comment either. Even if it was a few hundred pounds heavier, shouldn't matter. Tiny home building/designing is always about sacrificing 'this' for 'that'
