    • Thank you, the fridge is actually perfect for me! The heat is under floor radiant heat. I also have a small radiant heater in case I need it but my dog and I do a pretty good job of keeping it warm with just our body heat, and it’s been getting into the teens so far this year!

  1. Really like this house and how you’ve put it together……looks functional and homey. Would appreciate hearing what kind of location you are set up on, and any difficulties or advice you may have to give about moving this kind of house from one location to another, although you may not have encountered these ye; like what kind of truck or cab would it take, permits etc. Very nice job.

    • Thank you! I built it in rural Idaho and moved it to downtown Boise. I was able to just hire a tow truck, a guy showed up with a 1 ton dually and it hauled just great! They are typically just registered as RV’s, there is a bit more in depth info on this at my site but that is the gist of it!

      • HI! I am so excited to see this. I have recently purchased, gutted and redone a 1969 Airstream into my “non traditional” tiny home. I took on the project in hopes of being able to live affordably during and after I attend BSU for my Masters in Social Work. As I search all throughout Boise, checking craigslist almost obsessively, I am coming up way short on options for long term parking. Your home is beautiful! And it gives me hope again after reading that you were able to find a location to park in Boise. Do you have any advice for me as I look for a place to call home in this beautiful city? How did you find a location to park? Do you know of any others similar? Any help would be beyond appreciated!

  2. It really amazes me that people will build a tinyhome but won’t consider gooseneck hitches! Having the load over the rear axle makes these larger builds haul much easier. Very inventive on the build but, is that sheetrock on the interior walls? Has that cracked or shifted in the process of moving?

    • Hi Rebecca-
      Depending on your climate it’s important to have full insulation in the floor as well, so long as you can do that you’re golden. My design is a full foot below the max height so there is room to build the entire floor up if wanted.

  3. I really like this lay out. I would like to put several of these on a big piece of property for my family. Everyone can have their own.

    However, for me, the deck at the end is a lost piece of housing. I would build it as part of the house and expand bathroom and have full washer and dryer (stackable). Maybe a bigger fridge.
