So we were just driving by
and on the side of the road
we saw this really cool looking
do-it-yourself tiny house build
So we decided to pull over and check it out.
A young couple first started building this tiny house
so they bought the trailer and built a frame.
The couple didn't finish the project
so a man named Jean and his wife
bought the empty shell
They finished building it with their sons
and they finished it as an off-grid cottage.
What we thought was really cool about this tiny house is that
the builders obviously didn't have experience building any tiny houses
but they still managed to do something really nice and interesting here.
And they've Included some unique features that we haven't seen in other tiny houses.
When you first come in, there's a room here that isn't quite finished
Not quite furnished yet. It's meant to be a living room dining area
I think our favorite feature of this tiny house is of course the huge garage door
You can open it up. It opens up really easily
and you can get a lot of fresh air, a lot of light coming in
and you can really connect the inside of the house with the outside
If it was ours, we would probably add a big deck
coming off of it
and probably a screen that comes down
just to keep the bugs out
I just find that there's a lot of different ways you could take advantage of this garage door
and just use your imagination to make it work with the space
Like I said, this house is built to be completely off grid
so for heat they have a propane
Newport Dickinson heater
Here's the small Kitchen area
There is a small, bar-size fridge
Propane cooktop over here
and the sink is hooked up to a stainless steel
freshwater tank, and there's also a stainless steel gray water tank
Over here there's three
Big
Storage areas
This one could be a pantry
and over here is the propane instant hot water heater
The water tank and the electrical system
There's a small bathroom on this side with pretty much everything you need
There's a Sunmar composting toilet
and on the other side there's a stand-up shower stall
Another nice feature of this tiny house is the staircase
Ladders are nice but they're not for everyone So this is a really nice staircase
and there's something to hold on to when you're going up
And it also has some storage underneath here
and on the sides
And this is a sleeping loft
apparently you can fit a king-sized bed up here
It does look very wide
and what's nice is that the ceiling is
almost completely flat so you have
quite a bit of space to move around in here
For insulation they used spray foam in the floors
and fiberglass in the walls
Like I said, this house is built to be off-grid
It has propane for the heat,
the cooktop, and the hot water.
It has a composting toilet and a gray water system
and the only thing missing are the solar panels
that could be hooked up to the electrical system
Jean told me that his house is actually for sale right now because they bought
something else so if anyone is interested
