Beautiful handmade tiny home w/ recycled materials ($40k budget)

Cass spent almost 3 years (working on weekends and overnights) making this gorgeous tiny house from scratch. Practically everything inside is handmade or repurposed from recycled materials. Today, Cass and his girlfriend Emma live in the tiny house full time.

[@gardengirl4409]

This is not a tiny house, this is a work of art 💙

[@samanthagomez7074]

Very true

[@myralawson4543]

Absolutely!

[@julietkami8383]

Totally!

[@benwarped7272]

arent they all, though❓ this one qualifies as a fairy tale for sure.

[@Kookka_]

Just had to comment. This guy is a genius and I'm blown away by his artistic vision and it's practical application. The recycled materials being put to good use instead of a landfill is wonderful. Thanks Cass for the detailed explanation of how everything was built. Emma no doubt was a valuable support as well.

[@rhoyalty1]

Agree!

[@kimdawcatgirl]

Great comment! Couldn't have said it better!

[@juliahaynie764]

👋🏾 is your schedule for today too for tomorrow at the end up 🔝 to my apartment in east or in Nino city 🌃 I’m doing some work for my family until

[@a.l.a.7847]

Probably the most impressive tiny home self-build I've seen to date. So much thought, creativity and awe-inspiring attention to detail, repurposing and reusing! Simply fabulous.

[@ashm3697]

This dude makes me wish I learned to actually do stuff with my hands as opposed to being on the computer all the time

[@herbalannie7707]

Nothing to it but to do it!

[@buddymccormack8668]

Tiny houses like this one is exactly the reason why I LOVE this channel so much !

[@barbarapatterson5487]

What an incredible unique home, he should be very proud of himself. I love the fact that he has used so much recycled pieces....truly inspirational

[@lindawitherspoon446]

I am awe struck!!! The talent and skill required to build this gorgeous house is amazing. That young man should get the Tiny House award for the most original and whimsical house ever. Wow!!!! Well done.

[@x35mmman]

Ten years ago after working second shift I would drive around on that city garbage days and find so munch at the curb...... I told myself I bet I could build a full size home with all the material....don't have the skill that Cass has so I never follow thru on it. As you can see that he made a one of a kind tiny home. Congrats.

[@chezmoi42]

You are reminding me of Deek Diedrickson, a very creative guy who does that a lot, and either refurbishes/resells or creates art or buildings with his finds. You may get a kick out of his channel if you don't know him yet. kzbin.infoplaylists

[@livesoutdoors1708]

Great job you two! We’re over 60 and all of our lives we’ve built recycled and reused all the way and we’re both artists. Keep up the good work!👍❤️

[@binkbonk7199]

Sounds like a life well spent ❤️

[@shepherd6746]

One of the most magical tiny houses I have ever seen… he’s very talented

[@bhman4700]

Not only the most interesting and beautiful build, but well thought out in terms of long term use (waterproofing of the shower, cleaning etc), and using recycled materials.

[@carolkokx9638]

Beautiful

[@sherryotis-farley9907]

Beautiful 😍

[@caliemm2159]

Quite impressive that the chassis was created with your hands. Building it with reclaimed materials gives it that retro, hippy look from the 60s. Quite a piece of art

[@larrybill2661]

Hello Cali how are you doing!!

[@saibliss7976]

Love the hobbit door, spiral steps, you have everything you love in there. Gorgeous👌🙏🥰

[@edmondmicucci3157]

I thought that I was the only one to notice the Hobbit door. I love it. It really sets the atmosphere for the place. It is truly gorgeous inside.

[@Louis-si4ci]

Me too......he must feel such an amazing sense of achievement 👏.....talent like his is amazing

[@kiddycar16]

All I can say is WOOOOW! GREAT UTILIZATION OF SPACE.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello Christine, how are you doing?

[@twiceisneverenough]

Cass displays both ingenuity with a dash of rugged individualism. These traits go back a long way, so it's great to see they are alive and well. This th exudes comfort and cozy from every aspect. I'd love to see this movement to 'smaller is better' continue to grow. The McMansion era was just so grotesque. Tiny Homes rock! 🏞🏡🌄👍

[@angeladawn805]

Wow, typically, when going through architectural features, they (say Kevin McLeod) talk about "moments" and little stories here an there. This is an autobiography!

[@SqueakyBarbarian]

Magical. The entire house made me smile. I loved the surprises - like the master bedroom door hardware with it's notch out in the wall to fit. And the ladders that I thought were just art but offered accessibility. Even the storage loft has a beautiful ceiling. Thank you for sharing this wonderful magical home.

[@dianemoonstone4715]

Agree completely.👏

[@kimhernandez2541]

This was amazing this young man is completely talented when it comes to reshaping and reusing materials loved this video thank you so much

[@dsheriesilva1700]

Agreed !! Really a delight to explore, along with his narration. I'd LOVE to see this one in person - so much to appreciate!

[@tonyajoiner8491]

I have watched literally hundreds and hundreds of these videos. This is, hands down, the absolute most amazing tiny house, bus conversion, or anything of the sort. This place is magical! (I bet fairies live there too!) I'm sure that no matter often one visits there will always a new detail that is so unique a person will wonder how they overlooked it before. Excellent job. Your passion for what you do is awe inspiring.

[@dianesamp9102]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! SUCH A TALENT & SKILLS I WISH I HAD!!!!

[@lulumoon9]

Because a maker’s gotta make!!! A true artist needs to create the same way other people need to drink water, and he’s a true artist!

[@racquellevias9297]

This house is so totally amazing and cute. All that's missing are the gum drops and candy sticks.

[@pamdesjardine7632]

I like the way you think @RacquelLeVias!

[@racquellevias9297]

@@pamdesjardine7632 Why thank you.🥰

[@ShulaOudean]

I think this is my absolute favorite tiny house ever.

[@AnaraneBeth]

Agreed!❤

[@liselottnelson5479]

I have to say that of all the tiny house I have ever seen ( I think I have seen them all 😉) this is the one . This house is so beautiful and so practical and most important NO creepy loft. Absolutely stunning 🤩

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

If someone gave this guy a million bucks, imagine what he could create. This creation alone is incredible! What a true artist and engineer.

[@lovepeacedirtysheets]

Wow, Cass clearly absolutely put his heart and soul into this and it really shows when he's talking about it. Wonderful tour of the home. Love the Hobbit door.

[@lapislazarus8899]

I'm awestruck. This fellow is so creative, knowledgeable, and hardworking; the patience and perseverance for this labor of love is to be admired. Lol, talk about living inside your head! Beautiful and eclectic, a piece of art in its own right. I wish the arstsy group my Dad knew around here in Albuquerque could've seen this place. I knew his one good friend was a metal sculptor, he would have been floored! Thanks for sharing this little treasure with us 💛

[@janinafisher101]

It truly is a piece of art!

[@DawnOldham]

I wouldn’t miss ANY of your videos! The music matched the whimsy of the house perfectly, and the house was truly a work of art. I appreciated that he made it very clear that this took three years and that he collected things along the way and learned skills as he went. Can’t wait to see what you have for us next!

[@larrybill2661]

Hello Dawn how are you doing!!

[@trumpisatruepatriot3431]

This was a stupid fun build. I love this young man’s taste, style, talent, simplicity and uniqueness. Great job bud.

[@ruel1703]

2023 I have seen enough tiny homes but I want to believe this takes the 🏆! Best house ever!

[@inkyapron1862]

Beautiful home, and his narration was very good

[@natnielsen8472]

First you two are a super cute couple! I'd love to see how you'd design a wedding! This home is a true work of genius and fine art - a master's painting! It truely stuns me to think of how your mind must work: interior design, exterior design, imagination and follow through on creating it, color and art, electrical and mechanical, architectural eye! The list goes on and on! You have major talent! Thank you for showing us your masterful piece of artwork! The best part - it can never be copied!!

[@tinahickman6300]

I think this is my favorite tiny house so far that I've seen not only for the Ingenuity and for so much use of recycled products but also I was struck by when she said this home reflects him so much! Once you go through all of this it tells you everything about this man what he is how he lives and I think this is just so impressive! This was the first tiny home video I actually shared with people because I was so impressed with it

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello dear, how are you doing?

[@marydray6171]

This young man is brilliant. If there was a tiny home contest he would win. The hobbit door entrance is a touch of genius and creativity all in one. this is luxury pure and simple.

[@itsjustmeflo8684]

Very interesting to actually see a piece of someone’s actual vision in physical form. I love it!

[@JourneyMetaspirit]

I LOVE this place! This is the tiny house I have been looking for. Best use of space! And it is unique rather than cookie cutter. Cass, this beyond the WOW factor. You have an outstanding design intelligence and creativity. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kenmoreSF]

she found herself a gem in that man. You rarely find these type of handyman in the young generation these days.

[@7Jennifer]

I love everything except for the metal "stairs". Cool to look at but not for needing to get up and down on the reg. So many neat touches and interesting things to look at. What a fantastic job this young man did. So much uniqueness and character. I'll take this any day over a white box.

[@aminahreviewsstuff]

You must be an older person

[@alexwilson5320]

This is a great tiny house. He put in so much care for each detail!

[@cherrygaisford9810]

Such a fun tiny house. Unique is my fave

[@DFontaine7]

Give him a Nobel Art Prize or something. Spectacular.

[@JacindaH]

When people say they built the chassy this is not what they mean. How incredibly gifted he is!!

[@manuelabonig4946]

WOW one of the cutest and best Tiny homes I´ve ever seen.He has done a great Job.

[@mowattlavern62]

This is adorable tiny house. He put alot of love into it

[@JacindaH]

On my next trip to Olympia I'm gifting this kid every bit of vintage iron I've collected. His use of these incredible antique items is an inspiration

[@kristinrzeszut2793]

"An 80's vibe", never heard anyone say that before! What an awesome project! I think the sink is my favorite piece.

[@sueg2658]

WOW! It’s truly a living piece of art! Well done! Enjoy the journey :-)

Hello Sue how are you doing!!

By far, the nicest tiny house ever… Very unique and thought out!!!

[@kayejayesworld6075]

This house has so much personality. I couldn't stop smiling. 🥰🤩

[@paanne1013]

Cass should build custom tiny houses for a living. This has to be the best yet of the tiny homes.

[@deedowty4480]

I love this tiny house so much, it is by far the best I have seen! I love how unique that it is. Everything looks very nice, but really functional. I really like how the master bedroom is raised, but has real steps and you can stand up in it. I can't say enough great things about it, I just love it. Thank you for sharing such a great tour of it!!!❤😍🏠

[@jessicahites871]

WOW!! The creativity in this home makes it, by far, the coolest tiny home I've ever seen!! Great job on this build!!

[@julie.1081]

It's nice to see that are still young people who have real life skills. Great job on your house!

He's so proud, rightfully so, of his work. Not too many people have the mechanical/building skills as well as an artistic bent. Genius.

[@lyndamooney1592]

The house is amazing. Love all the special touches and that you reclaimed so much.

[@mandyellis876]

One of the most beautiful homes I’ve seen...it really is a work of art

Good Afternoon Jenna, this is a wonderful build. 👍

[@hoppas77]

Wow, you just keep finding the coolest house to share! This guy is so creative and just a genius! I love all the thoughtfulness they put into this home.. There are too many things to list all that I love about this home. Great job! LOVE it!

[@bradfordleroy3527]

Best answer ever, '' Because I wanted to''. Great home, talented builder.

[@sjladuke75]

Your house is absolutely magical. Everything about it tells YOUR story. This is without a doubt the most unique, creative, artistic & functional & comfortable tiny home. It's so reflective of your personality. This is exactly the kind of home, I love; nothing cookie cutter, with the reduce, reuse, recycle philosophy. It's is critical towards reducing the amount of excess consumerism & leaving as minimal carbon footprints as possible. Those stairs - all 3 sets are genius! Plenty of storage for full time living unlike many others. Love the enamel sink, the gas stove & refrigerator, & exhaust fan. There's a real difference in both the craftsmanship & quality of products made many decades ago. I prefer those to today's overpriced digital appliances which are constantly needing repair due to computer chips & overall poor quality. The stainless steel shower is fantastic & because it's steel, won't develop mold. Your welding reminds me of my former partner who used old bed frames & his arc welder to make so many projects, including a trailer to carry our motorcycle on the back of our RV. He welded long dining tables using those frames & sheets of stainless steel before he died. Congratulations on this magnificent gem. Wishing you both many years of happiness & fulfillment in your home.

[@charzemc]

So well thought out, this guy is so impressive. Beautiful tiny house with amazing ambience I love the way he thinks.

[@lornadickau7172]

this is probably my favorite of all the 100's of tiny house videos I've watched. That young man is so talented and creative :)

[@maggiegray8046]

OMG his ability to recycle? What an extraordinary gifted human being. He's truly so innovative and stands for how people SHOULD think - someone's junk another man's treasure. Living proof.

[@MissSmudge78]

The saying "Method to his madness" comes to mind. It is one of the most beautiful, functional, cosy, environmentally repurposed spaces I've ever seen. So much thought put into it. WELL DONE Cass !

[@jennyfulcher8035]

A very creative tiny home! Love everything about it, from the Hobbit door, sculptural ladders, to all the bits and bobs you collected and recycled as well as handbuilt/forged. Jenny

[@michelebliss5431]

I love how eclectic, functional, sustainable and beautiful this tiny house is for its size and dimensions.

[@beckymartin1723]

One of the neatest storybook/hobbit habitats I’ve seen. How does a young man become that brilliant and skilled and artistic at the same time? I’ve known people like that but they sometimes don’t follow through and tinker their lives away. This guy finishes! And she just goes along and enjoys the lifestyle. What a fun couple.

[@sharonh.harris1924]

This is the only tiny house I've ever seen I might could like. Not enough to want to live in it permanently but if you can stand smaller spaces, he did a great job. I love all his special touches and handmade, practical things and repurposed things. It screams quality. Like the ladders. I couldn't climb one now but his were neat. Good job, young man. Just remember to prepare for the day when you age into a senior and can't crawl, climb and wiggle through some of that. Your knees will be busted, your hips rusty, you gain weight, you lose muscle mass in your upper body so you just can't climb the ladders, wiggle into a bed, crawl around on your hands and knees, etc. You want to be sure you are saving money for the day when you can build, or buy, a home for your senior needs. Don't ever say it won't happen to you because, if we live long enough, it happens to all of us. You will need a space that is one story with no stairs. Where you can easily get in and out of bed. Where someone can help you to the commode or the shower for your necessary and daily needs. Where you can walk from one end of the house to the other. I doubt I could easily get to your bedroom as it is now. I'm heavy and have such pain and stiffness and I'm only 62. My point is, don't think of this beautiful tiny home as your forever home. As great as it is, it won't age well with you as a senior so be preparing.

[@debbiewojcik778]

I am awe struck at how beautiful this tiny home is. He did a phenomenal job. Would you build me one? I wish I was young again and could do something like this.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello Debbie, how are you doing?

[@BoriquaBBW]

This is one house I truly love. I grew up in a house with a chair exactly like the velvet one and I love it. All the tiny personal touches make this place a very special home.

[@tancosta1286]

super cool, he is lucky with that partner that just supports what others would call crazy

[@slh9564]

Using recycled materials and built using your own hands, it's a labor of love and a creative work of art. Well done!

[@almiralim3900]

It’s a beautiful home ❤️ That’s how a “home” should be - built with love and all that you love.

[@jennaeisel9072]

Been watching tiny house videos since Tiny House blog was the center of all things tiny, and this to me, this is one of the best~ Seriously awesome. Thanks, Jenna for posting.

[@elysevickers5854]

Cass you are a genius and an amazing person! What a beautiful and functional piece of livable art! People, please take some time to show love and appreciation for these two wonderful humans!

[@Dee_D56]

I don't usually make comments about the tiny homes, but I was so impressed & awed with Cass's cool ideas, designs, abilities, work ethics & presentation that I couldn't take my eyes off this video. I didn't want to miss a thing, lol. Thanks, Cass, for keeping my interest piqued. You have a knack for unique ideas & a natural way with words, & could seriously make your living building awesome tiny homes. Kudos for a job well done on your tiny home, Cass & Emma! Enjoy it!

This is probably my favorite tiny house I have seen on this channel. This guy did an incredible job on building this custom tiny house.

[@ariellesoullighting4309]

This guy is an INVENTOR and artisan!!! And an amateur engineer with an artist's eye.

[@lindylindybasicoceangirl]

…imo once you start “seeing” objects with new eyes, your creativity just builds/evolves…in my case my creative ideas came as I strived for minimalism without money to spend…this lovely home has so much character/functionality based on building skills and using cherished objects-taking the time to “do it right”…so much respect for a very talented couple…

[@larrybill2661]

Hello Linda how are you doing;!

[@JanColdwater]

Love getting a glimpse into a detailed, creative mind via the manifested creations. You can see that it was a labor of love for him. It is certainly a lovely home. Well done. 👍

Absolutely stunning in its details!!❤ that old farmhouse sink too. What a score for fifty dollars!!

[@jenpfluger8419]

I've probably watched hundreds of tiny home videos over the past few years and I have to sat that this is by far one of my favorites. I absolutely love the intricate details and fabricated reclaimed and recycled materials and finds to make beautiful creations. This tiny house is unique and cozy and I am very jealous. What an incredible work of art you get to call home.

[@hallymariah45]

You are an artistic prodigy~ I am 76, and do fine art...All my grandchildren, great-grandchildren and children, I have drawn or painted...That is why I appreciate your God given talent....Sure it takes a lot of work but you certainly became the brush in the ARTIST HAND!!! BRAVO!

[@j.v.1973]

I love this quirky, cozy tiny house! The hobbit doors are so cool and 3 doors and decks make it not so confinning! Definitely one of the more creative and comfy tiny homes I've seen. 👍
