Tiny Home Shepherds Hut Tour 2022 "The Peerie Neuk" - The Wild Croft

[@anjavonpfeil4312]

Beautifully made and so well thought out. I love the pullout, freestanding table and boxes for seating. I hope the owner has many happy years in it. 💙

[@beryle6872]

Oh yes, the pull out table and boxes is a fantastic idea

[@ronnieroberts9478]

Absolutely beautiful perfect I love it

[@chrishemsworth8948]

Now this is a nice one level tiny home ❤

[@EmelineKnits]

I love the storage under the bed, especially the dining table that slides out. Very creative! I've never seen that before and I've watched hundreds of tiny house tours!

[@w.w.8823]

A beautiful piece of work Al! Such a level of detail and built-in functionality. Small buildings can have as much work in them as much bigger buildings. The work is in all the corners, joints and making every element fit into it's neighbour, often with no "standard solution" available off the peg. Well done!

[@thewildcroft]

Thanks very much! Pretty chuffed with how this one turned out.

[@NK71482]

Built well. Thanks for sharing.

[@1wldnczyguy]

If you want things well vented when you cook, then you need to put a vent in the wall above the cooking space/cooktop area! Leaving the front door open is not a practical way to vent cooking fumes.

[@lah1743]

I use to have a jalousy window above the kitchen stove, and just cranked it open when cooking. Don't need the extra fan exhaust above.

[@edlane1883]

This is an amazing, beautiful and incredibly functional living space. I’m amazed at the craftsmanship in this build. I’d definitely consider this as a tiny home for myself.

[@carolannmiller7911]

quality built w/great use of space love the stove, bed build w/more storage than most!

[@lah1743]

Love it nice and simple.

[@paulineniles370]

Very nice tiny house. Well planned with good material in and out. Everything is well planned out. I like the step and table slideouts. Very easy to keep neat and clean.Good get away home.

[@patriotordinance9695]

Great job bloke

[@beryle6872]

You have amazing skill, I wish we had someone in South Africa who did this. I live in Botswana 🇧🇼, and love tiny homes, because I am on a game farm, a shepherd s hut is better, a bit higher... love the curve roof...a true Gypsy wagon, for a Gypsy Soul like myself... one day... I have mine. ❤thanks for keeping the dream alive.

[@snezhananikolova1971]

Impressive!!!

[@asmajoolfoo1513]

Love it! Well planned and well done, simple but practical, easy to use!

[@carolanncortes6026]

This is well made and I loved it you did a fantastic job❤

[@SuzanneU]

I do love the curved roof. This is a very nice build. I could live there!

[@Itried20takennames]

Wow….amazing design. Love it.

[@panz3r696]

absolute quality mate

[@choolisa4998]

Should have a small sofa bed in the living space, just in case you have a guest sleep over and it's not too clustered...😊 You can use fragrance disposal bags and throw in some dried leaves for each toilet use and dispose it so the toilet will always stay clean ....

[@thewildcroft]

Yes we left space for a sofa and the client has put one in. Search for perrie neuk on Insta or Facebook for photos when furnished. :)

[@dawnsmith4275]

I love everything about it!!

It’s wonderful, Al

Thanks Jude.

Yup! About 2.6 ton

[@sgrvtl7183]

Very nice!

[@mycocoaone]

Love it.

[@desertoasiscreations]

You gave me several ideas for my tiny house, I wish I could use sheep wool for insulation I am sure someone in Arizona would say that's sheep abuse.

[@yvonnestevenson6817]

Fantastic, well thought out,just needs a women’s touch to cosy it up and Bob’s your Uncle. Best wishes from Australia

[@thewildcroft]

[@lesliehunter1823]

I hardly know where to begin this is such an impressive build. Fantastic toilet! Link to the diverter? Your sense of aesthetics is very closely aligned with mine and I especially love the plumbing fittings. And the carpentry treatment under the bed! You've made the mostest from the leastest amount of space.

[@katherineganley7806]

Needs a kitchen vent, bathroom vent ( open windows/doors not ideal in winter) bathroom sink. Other than that it's fantastic!

[@hannahjayne4097]

I do so enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. I've clocked the brand of the trailer but would you mind sharing more details on the trailer please. It looks to be exactly what I'm after. The four jacks are such a wonderful touch. Many thanks, Hannah

[@thewildcroft]

It's a Vlemmix tiny house trailer. I tend to use the 6.0m version. This year I'll be using the Plateau model, which means I don't have the wheel arches to deal with, but the trailer is a little higher.

[@blythehilllane2697]

Great tour, thanks Al. Two questions: bimetallic corrosion in the shower area-have you checked that copper plus galv or brass plus galv are ok to touch? The seating boxes that slide in or out-the gap is not quite big enough to permanently fix a upholstered bit of foam (or thin wool stuffed mattress) on it. That would have been useful. Love the hut overall, quality work! 🙂

[@thewildcroft]

Thanks for the comments! Galv and brass are fine to touch I believe so this shouldn’t be an issue. Good point on the boxes, they weren’t designed for permanent upholstery but it’s something I might suggest to clients in future.

[@karenrichardson8918]

Removable seat cushions could easily live on the bed until needed. That way replacing them would be very simple!

[@tonypreston9257]

Beautiful how did you create the runners for the seats and the steps the rest I can work out

[@thewildcroft]

Two small strips of wood on the floor (20mm wide, 8mm high) and the same on the boxes to fit outside of ones on floor. Boxes also have felt on them so they slide. Floor runners are tapered at the start so the boxes locate into them easily. It works really nicely, as long as you keep the floor swept!

[@trinahill4683]

So beautiful, I currently live in a tiny home on wheels 24ft by 8ft 6 wide, love living tiny I would love to build a hut. Do you have instructional video's or just video's of them once they are completed.

[@Simplesimple123]

Are you UK based. How easy is it to live in a tiny house in UK. What sort of red tape is there. . Glad you ate living the dream..tiny homes are lovely

[@thewildcroft]

Thanks. Sorry I haven't done any plans or instructional videos, it would be a crazy amount of work to do in enough detail so not something I'd have time for unfortunately.

[@trinahill4683]

@@Simplesimple123 I am in BC Canada I'm starting my 7th yr in it I think and I have never had a problem finding a spot. I rent private land. I love living tiny it's hard sometimes to find a magical spot for all the things that you love but after tripping over it twice you don't love it so much then it's easy to part with.

[@veronicabalfourpaul2288]

Lovely. What is the name of the stove maker?

[@thewildcroft]

Windy Smithy

[@chantalpaula8268]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@elianawiebe3125]

Where can I bye this wood stove? What is the name of the brand?

[@nancya.nelson5810]

Returning to your site to look again at your careful, plastic free work. Curious to know how the curved roof handles the rain with no gutters. It's looks as though it would roll down the sides of the house./ You don't ship overseas, but would you consider selling plans for the bed/cabinet design? (Copyright it or however it is builders secure their original work of course)

[@thewildcroft]

Yes I have played with gutters, but the issues is my max width for UK roads is 2.55m. So I cannot add gutters. But it would be a good idea for the client to add them if not moving regularly as the cladding would last longer. I don't have any plans, sorry. I build it differently each time and kinda make it up depending on timber I have etc.

[@ec9833]

I’ll take one! Just a hop skip and jump to ship to the middle of the US, yeah?

[@thewildcroft]

Of course! I can attach some flotation barrels and a sail and give it a shove in the right direction. Should be with you sometime later in the year... :)

[@ec9833]

@@thewildcroft oh gawd. That’s probably gonna cost me more, isn’t it? Or, do you provide free shipping? 💁🏽‍♀️☺️

[@rebeccadelbridge2998]

@@thewildcroft hahahaha!!!

[@trilbywye3944]

Surely it would be better to tow it from window end then you could build steps up to front door on site.

[@thewildcroft]

Yeah it works this way just fine but the other way round gives more options, I’ll be doing it opposite way round next time. It really depends on the site, often it’s only possible to tow in one way so I design for that.

[@nancya.nelson5810]

Well done! What are the dimensions? Such good use of space and the table and seats are capital.

[@thewildcroft]

It's 6m long by 2.5m wide. Plus a small 50cm deck

[@nancya.nelson5810]

I also do not understand how the pipes do not freeze when the stove isn't monitored. Does the insulation and copper pipe prove adequate? This is not an idle question.

[@thewildcroft]

Yes the copper pipe being inside does not need to be insulated. Any pipe underneath or within the frame would be insulated. If you left the home for weeks unheated in winter it would be wise to drain the plumbing just in case.

[@teresaray6033]

Not enough windows.

[@Heimrik01]

C'est très joli ces petites roulotes en bois, quel est le prix ?

[@thewildcroft]

Thank you! Prices are on our website: thewildcroft.co.uk

[@marthavh2678]

Sir, where could we buy an exact model and size of a woodstove, like on this video...?

[@thewildcroft]

It's a Louis Ranger, made by Windy Smithy (UK)

[@harmonygrace5833]

i love the fully removable table upgrade you’ve done in this build! recently found your channel and am gaining lots of inspiration for my own build later this year! thanks for sharing with us! blessings- from central texas ❤️🙏🏻

[@thewildcroft]

Thank you and good luck with your build!

[@kenalbright3622]

First shepherd's hut I've seen on a trailer. Instead of the traditional 4 wheel wagon carriage. I like the interior styling. Looks spacious. The slide out table, steps and seating are a great idea.Especially for utilizing space. Woodstove with oven very nice. Overall nice build.

[@ldancer2340]

Watching from Canada. The wood is incredible. I like the tuck away table and box benches. The idea of wood burning stove for heat and an oven. I thank you for posting this video.

[@willdavies4308]

This is great. Do you have any issues with the hut caused by traveling it?

[@fion1flatout]

😊 I thought that too... It was great seeing it drive off, but they weren't hanging about were they

[@I.trust.theLord]

I love the house with the slid out table under the bed!!! Great idea!! Love the ceiling. I could live in that for sure!!

[@nancya.nelson5810]

Check-out French builder Baluchon. I like yours better in fact, but certainly food for thought in approximately the same length.

[@jempro1674]

How much for this one? as I would love to buy several for my farm. Thanks.

[@veganvocalist4782]

That's a job well done , has everything . Most do not have a bath room but I feel it is a must ;D

[@simonnattrass2171]

We have built a mancave in our garden which is about 17 feet by 11 feet - is that similar to your dimensions here? Just wondering if we could do something similar

[@thewildcroft]

This is 18’ x 8’ so yes sure you could!

[@choolisa4998]

I love this tiny house, it's neat, spacious and have everything needed in a house 🏡....great !

[@davemoseley1690]

some nice touches there, I'm surprised though that no one seems to put any high level ventilation in so you don't have to rely so much on opening windows, especially when used in Scotland with the lovely midges to contend with, my background is in the boating world and mushroom vents in the roof are common

[@thewildcroft]

Vents tend to be noisy in windy places so that’s the main reason I guess.

[@kiza4178]

It is wonderful!

[@teresaray6033]

Need a window above the stove.

[@bosse641]

Lovely little abode. Cozy. Would love that

[@gailspaw5521]

Love

[@annedoyle222]

It’s really lovely but I don’t like the exposed copper pipes coming out from the boiler quite horrible.i say that because I had the same coming out from my boiler and they annoyed me big time

[@thewildcroft]

Yep definitely a personal taste thing! In fact a friend of mine actually has a real phobia of exposed pipes! Very easy to put a removable panel to hide it if required though.

[@jim0240]

Theres a water heating teqnique that coils copper tubing thats filled with water arround the stoves flume. Might be a good recycling use of exess heat.

[@thewildcroft]

Yes something I've considered but it requires having a hot water tank somewhere and that's not easy to fit in! It would also be quite expensive.

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

I like the shelf under the window. I can see a kitty sitting on that window shelf. Lots of good company. I do prefer board and batten to shiplap though, I think it looks more expensive. And off it goes!

[@thewildcroft]

I know what you mean about board and batten - has a certain appeal. Shiplap is better as its thinner overall (one layer rather than two) and that actually makes a critical difference with roof overhangs, as I'm limited by legal width limits for towing on the road.

[@nancya.nelson5810]

Thank you for replies. One more question: can a curved roof incorporate a dormer? Best to you and yours.

[@thewildcroft]

Sorry missed this one! Yes it’s possible but would add a lot of complications and cost. Sealing flashing to a corrugated roof can be tricky. I’m always trying to avoid weak spots that will need ongoing maintenance

[@stephaniedaniels9285]

So well thought out, built and designed!! ❤

[@denisehossack1654]

Love it ❣️ So very cute

[@angeladawn805]

I want one 😍 Since I'm on the other side of the planet, would you ever consider selling building plans? :)

Thanks but no plans for making plans no, sorry! It would be too much work to justify it.

[@angeladawn805]

@@thewildcroft fair enough. I'm just finishing a joinery course, and I'd love to make some sort of Vardo or Shepherds hut. Most tiny houses are quite box like, and not so pretty!
