Rock Climber Finds Financial Freedom in a Tiny House

In 2012, Art completed his 117 square foot tiny house on wheels constructed with SIPs (structurally insulated panels) and reclaimed cypress siding. Currently, Art has his tiny home parked in Lafayette, Louisiana. We visited him this past February and he showed us a wild time!
Art’s Louisiana based tiny home is wonderfully minimal, uncluttered and he works hard to keep it that way. He resisted building any extra storage or shelving, knowing that if he creates the storage space, he will fill it. Using a “less is more” philosophy,
Art is proud of his minimal belongings: he owns three cups (handmade by his daughter) and a very limited wardrobe.

Tiny House Giant Journey is the best channel for tiny homes. Thx guys!

[@vsavoldi]

I am stealing Art's 1st floor design! I love the simplicity without sacrificing any functionality. Great job!

[@TeenLaLa]

Did anyone else see the very end when he walked back to his home? totally made me giggle

[@jojober1980]

Very nice

[@KMEthridge]

I LOVE that siding. Living in Montana, I have always admired old weathered out buildings.

[@irreverentcouponer4503]

The end! I'm blushing.

[@DeHGhamEz]

For me, the ideas in kzbin.infoUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

[@tallulahbeaverhausen4382]

One of the best I've seen so far. I love the minimalist aspect, the countertop and the shoji paper door. But I still don't understand why people don't put dormers in the loft - without them, it looks like a coffin :s

[@bredlo]

Great tiny home. I love all-in-one designs, and that countertop is great for its usefulness. Art hits the nail on the head as far as appliances; for our vintage Airstream project we've sourced all gently used, stainless (when possible) marine appliances for their durability and superior build quality over their RV cousins.

[@youtubeuniversityofhawksha4621]

If you find yourself in the Northwest (Central Washington)....and needing a place to park... we have a tiny house community we are building. We are also capable of assisting people to build their own tiny homes both trailer mounted or cargo box style. We have nearly all of the construction tools to include wood or metal. Instead of grid tied systems we have done much homework on what it takes to have a solar system work efficiently. Among a few other ideas on sustainable power generation. Great video and I greatly enjoyed your sharing. Very nicely constructed and designed. If I make it to Louisiana.... maybe I can park there a day or two...If we all share and offer help to each other... we can beat this old paradigm of paying to exist. Why are humans the only animals on earth that pay to exist... because we have consented to this idea that it's normal. Why? because cult ure has told you this... why else would someone keep paying all of their hard earned money just to have a place to sleep and hang out?

[@nikkicook4253]

The house and the gentleman are both gorgeous!!

[@caseyschaaf7071]

What a cool mellow dude.

[@PrairieJournals]

Having fun watching your earliest videos.🇨🇦💞

[@carolynthomas4527]

So simple, but it all works so well for him

[@thinkpadchad]

It would be really cool if you started making videos of tips or tutorials on different parts of building a tiny house.

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Yeah, there are some tips in there but you have to watch the whole thing to find them. The best we can offer right now are our lifestyle videos (kzbin.info/aero/PLbxRepdOq2Mmmq5sUNuU9TDu60J2zoYBd) and our build timelapses (kzbin.info/aero/PLbxRepdOq2MlVOrTHnYCT2jl1-APBRgdi). You can also find all of our build posts on our website: tinyhousegiantjourney.com/category/build/

[@thinkpadchad]

Tiny House Giant Journey Thanks:)

[@N2HeroProductions]

Wouldn't that be a little difficult since they already completed theirs? Unless they start a new one. Each video is a little tip in itself I think. There is also Tiny Nest and Living Big in a Tiny House which both do great tutorials for building.

[@sourcecreator2222]

amazing guys thank you for sharing... beautiful souls

[@52fordman1]

Very cool counter top. It will last for many years and always be in style. The led lights are nice put out a lot of light. The 110 volt and inverter?? is a real good idea I have wondered about how some ting like might be done and now I see it. Very cool house thanks for sharing it with us.

[@helipatel9280]

seem to be such a humble man

[@fredherald4236]

Fabulous job Art! Thanks so very much for sharing ... love the minimalist approach/mindset with which you designed and constructed your home.

[@iiatargetanalyst3046]

Nice home Thanks for time filming. Handsome man 😆

[@courtneycox6981]

the legs at the end

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Courtney Cox Finally someone watched until the end :P

[@Krazycutiegurlxxx]

Tiny House Giant Journey Art has some very sexy kneecaps.

[@mariaathena7910]

Some boxers there lol

[@issievdhorst]

Scary ladder. Nice house.

[@txspacemom765]

Could you do some updates on all of these people? I would like to know their thoughts on living this way now.

[@imcharmed4evr]

Lovely Tiny House, handsome guy.

[@dianerota]

There may even be room in the closet to store kitchenware. To extend counter space, place a cutting board over a sink or stove. Try pull-out boards and a portable stove top. With under-counter appliances, span windows across an entire kitchen counter for greater light in such a busy area.

[@paintur68]

Art aka Richard Gere is so handsome. :-D

[@minimalistinlife]

This I could live in!

[@michelecrowder6741]

I would love to see an update on him and his home 🥰

[@gee9291]

I love this one, but the loft not so much.

[@sherry866]

Hi, I think the measurements of All the Tiny Houses that you video should be the First thing said about it, it just makes sense. Thanks 😆

[@tweakinreaper]

The trick I use to keep my ice cream from becoming too hard may work for him for preventing frozen lettuce. Put the lettuce package in a large zip-lock bag(don't take the air out) and he can take a damn paper towels and wrap each beer bottle to make them colder/faster.

[@carlapappalardo1901]

Learned something new, I think he said something about plant safe for directional discharge or something like that. I was unfamiliar with that term

[@fxcoconut]

awesome video

[@sherry866]

Nice video thanks !!! Love Art's little house, it looks SOOOO much bigger on the inside wow !!! I didn't catch the dimensions of the house tho ! ??

[@M20Gaz]

Прекрасное жилище!!! Хочу токойже.

[@thatpcgamer1012]

i would love to live in one of these homes with my dogs it would be sweet

[@powerofsoundinstitute3109]

what a king

[@beautybox2852]

it is so great I love it

[@LifeWithLeMaige]

Love it

[@mauricepowers3804]

I can barely hear what he is saying. Love his house!

[@Cwrenn993]

I want a tiny house so bad

[@mammalion4316]

I'm thinking that if Art placed his lettuce in one of those lightly insulated bags, the ones that cost a buck and are used to transport ice cream from the store to home, that may be a solution to prevent his lettuce from freezing.

[@Melicoy]

Stompin Tom Connors - Suzanne de Lafayette

[@N2HeroProductions]

What is his stove? I love that their both big, and not one big one tiny. Also where did he get the paper for the door?

[@bottlenosedolphin8494]

Nice, . 🌸,..do video on design, ... perfect "tiny house ",.ending was classic ((:

[@TaylorsAunt1]

I surely hope h puts up those curtains to cook...lol

[@So_Harufied]

Life with Dante yes he isb

[@lutze5086]

thats a huge bathroom

[@mai_chan2023]

would you mind sharing the link for this tiny @ 0:12? it's really cute.

[@joebazooks]

how much did it cost him in total?

[@ΠαναγιώταΚαραχριστόφα]

Συγνώμη, δεν έχει νηπτηρα στο πανιο, και δεν έχει πλυντήριο ρούχων. Πανό στην σοφητα δεν έχει προστατευτεικο όπως ανεβενεις. Ευχαριστώ.

[@jacobestes]

Is no one going to talk about how his curtains are right next to the burners?

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Jacob Estes Most tiny houses have this situation, so do we. His curtains are attached with bungees and he can pop them off quickly when he cooks. Ours use a pressure rod and we do the same, just remove them when we cook and put them back when we don't :)

[@jacobestes]

Tiny House Giant Journey Instead of curtains, couldn't he use something like books of matches stitched together, or maybe some oily rags?

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Jacob Estes Nothing quite like living on the edge! Though I wouldn't make the assumption that Art is not smart enough to know about fire safety. Many large houses out there are more prone to fire issues than Art's house. He's built many houses of all sizes, has created business and worked in law enforcement for years. He knows what he's doing. I do like the idea of matches stitched together to form curtains though, maybe you should create an Etsy shop selling them!

[@jacobestes]

Tiny House Giant Journey "Jacob's Curtain Matches- They go with everything!"

[@mike-ke8qd]

Awesome layout but does anyone know the size??

[@randywestfall1679]

The house belongs to him and his to do with as he sees fit, but I don't like the idea of those curtains so close to that gas stove burners.

[@ItsRyanStudios]

Did he mention to you what the cost of the build was?

[@ArmySquirrel1]

would it be possible to build a deck and keep a refrigerator/freezer outside?

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

I don't see why not!

[@shelleyhillier7581]

+Kevin Filbin people do it all the time when camping

[@siddeshsiddu2183]

Please can anybody share the link of 0:10 - 0:11 tiny house video...thanks in advance...

[@chloemartin9770]

What was the size of the AC unit and the brand please?

[@agnete39]

What school should i go to, if I want to learn sbout building and this kind of stuff?

[@ricksmith4201]

You don't even need to, you can get free building experience for charity organizations that build houses, they teach you stuff, you get experience, and you have to pay for it

[@ricksmith4201]

Dont*

[@stixxmusicforyou6734]

ok you got me. SO HOW MUCH $$

[@sistersparkles6736]

he is cute!

[@GoatzombieBubba]

Where is his pants at...(at the end)

[@sherry866]

What about the bathroom ?

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

It's in there! We show the shower and toilet.

[@sherry866]

OK thx, after a few mins I started skipping around

[@savannahprice4137]

Won't work :(

[@nonyabizness956]

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

An Australian shepherd.

Dude close the fridge!
