SIX clever money saving TINY HOUSE tips/hacks w/reuse and salvage

In this video we take a peek of "The Box Truck Film" star- the tiny house truck itself. We'll have a full tour soon, but you can see even more in the full length film that is now out on Amazon. In this particular clip we talk to Alex Eaves (of Stay Vocal Apparel/Clothing) and get his take on the "Top six reuse elements or hacks in his tiny house on wheels" while parked at Husson University in Maine. The Box Truck Tiny House was almost entirely built with free, found, secondhand, reused, and even dumpster dived materials- just to see if it could be done (that was part of the film's journey). What you see here is the final product of a "close-to-total-reuse" home. The box truck was built and designed by Derek "Deek" Diedricksen and Alex Eaves and tours around as a mobile reuse educational center where the duo offer tours of the home, give talks to classes/auditorium groups, and screen their film for students (links below if you'd ever want to book us) #tinyhouse #tinyhouseonwheels #conversionvan #cottages

THIS. 💖 👍 I want to use my old wood doors in my bus & my old redwood cabinet I dumpster dove for from a 2nd hand shop in California. It just makes sense to use what one has. Recycle. Repurpose. Reclaim. Thank you for sharing. 👍🌻🌸

Like your house. BUT i still think you need a real pet. You are so good at reusable things. Help out a animal that needs reuse animal..so many pet shelters! Many animals adopt to traveling with you with no problems.

The State of California has allocated $3.3 billion toward palliating homelessness in 2023-24. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a bunch of these box truck houses and give them away? Crazy, chaotic idea, but the money will go to waste on programs that serve only those who are employed to run them.
