This is a guest story by a Tiny House Talk reader and now a DIY builder who built her own debt-free tiny home

I had to tell you about this used Molecule Tiny House for sale on craigslist right now. (update: sold)
It’s a Molecule Tiny Home which I personally love. The owner wants to sell it because he wants an apartment and some extra money to start a business (according to the ad).
As of now the ad says the home is one an a half years old (which sounds about right). It can be used as an RV or parked as a cabin with hook ups.
There’s also a truck (1987 GMC 3500 with 10′ load deck) available that you can buy from him to tow it with (see below).

I just ran into these tiny house folks in Sydney, Australia I thought you might want to know about.
They started planning their project in January of 2013 and began building in June 2013 (almost a year ago as I write this). And their tiny house is only costing them about $15,000 which they can own outright and take wherever they’d like.

In this video IKEA interior designer Ray shows you a 430 square feet (40 square meters) that sleeps six people using IKEA furniture.
The space is very open. Three sets of bunk beds surround the dining table which is used for eating and working.
A corner of the tiny home is used as a music and reading area. And there’s a large kitchen with open storage and lots of vertical storage throughout the entire home.
