I built my own trailer, a "tiny home": http://tinyhousemansion.com/ http://tinyhousemansion.com/
I filmed a several how-to videos and put them up on youtube. Not the most economical (cost/resale-wise), but a great experiment and real-world break from full-time programing.
My Tiny House is super insulated and energy efficient. The only leaks are from windows. I wrapped the whole thing in rigid foam panels and lifted the metal roof up an inch to keep the roof from ever getting hotter than the ambient air temperature.
- aculver 9y agoJust watched the video on your site and this is by far my favorite Tiny House project I've seen yet. It's the first one I've seen that I felt like I could actually live in that with two kids. Great job! Thanks for taking the time to document the experience and share it with all of us!
- Xeoncross 9y agoThanks, I couldn't have done it without others who shared their ideas. Building energy-efficient, non-toxic homes is important. Many of the ideas I used for this Tiny House I plan on implementing on more traditional housing structures. Regular homes are supper-sloppy when it comes to conserving energy and there is a lot of room for improvement (with little added cost) if the ideas are implemented during the initial construction.
