The story goes that there were two brothers: One went to fight in the Civil War, while the other remained in Boston. During the war, their father died, and the Boston brother built an expansive home on the land the brothers inherited.
When Civil War brother came home, he found all that was left for him was a measly piece of land, which the Boston brother considered too small for a house. So, out of spite, the Civil War brother built a 10-foot-wide home that reportedly blocked the sunlight and views from the Boston brother’s mansion.
The Spite House sold last back in 2017, but it’s for sale again — for a whopping $1.2 million! The home is more a “small” home than a tiny one, at just about 1,200 square feet. It has four floors, each one long and skinny, kind of like four THOWs stacked on top of each other.

Mike was living his Wall Street life working in finance and running a million miles a minute. But then COVID sent him home, and he spent 150 days traveling the US in his car. That experience changed him, and he realized he couldn’t go back to “normal” life again.
So he ended up buying and building out a short bus — his Chevy Express 3500 — and decorated the interior with small-business finds from Etsy. One of the coolest features of his bus is the propane fire pit he can put on his roof-top deck so he can stay warm and cozy even during a fire ban. Pretty neat.

Greg and Ginger were maxing out on their vacation time every year, just waiting for their next adventure. Finally one day they decided they wanted to travel full-time! They purchased their ambulance sight-unseen while quarantined in Mexico, and then got to work doing a full 4×4 conversion.
They really figured out how to utilize every square inch of space in their build-out. Just wait until you see their hidden drying rack and storage compartment for dishes. Brilliant! They have a shower and toilet as well, and their electric bed slides out when it’s time to sleep or watch a movie.
All in all, they spent $59,000 on the ambulance and build-out. Enjoy Jenna’s tour of it below!

The fact that Cameron’s DIY container home sits over a stream is just the first of many unique features in this 125 square foot shipping container turned tiny house.
Inside you’ll find a electric bed lift over the living room, which allows you to transform the couch into a bed with the push of the button. But the real magic happens over in the bathroom, where the large closet actually pulls out of the shower when it’s time to wash up!
Watch this transforming house in action in Jenna’s tour below. While Cameron did live in it for a few months, he now rents it out on Airbnb while he builds another tiny house for himself.

Eris was living in New York City and enjoyed her job and lifestyle, but when COVID hit, she lost her job, and she had to move back home to Colorado. It was there that she started camping again and getting back to nature, and the entire process started to heal her of a lot of stress she’d been carrying during her city life.
A friend recommended she jump into van life, and while she hesitated at first, Eris eventually purchased a van and built it out and has been on the road now for 7 months. Her van is awesome, with tons of basket storage for clothes and food!
She loves cooking, so she has an oven to bake in and oodles of spice storage. Enjoy her Tiny Home Tours interview below.
