You can also find Chris (aka the Capable Carpenter) over at The Capable Carpenter. Anyway, he bought this trailer for only $1,000 and spent approximately $10 on materials to turn it into a micro cabin on wheels. Pretty amazing, right? By the way, he’s in the process of building a little village of tiny homes.
This is the story of Richard Ward’s new 54 sq. ft. tiny house on wheels that ‘expands’ to 120 sq. ft.!
It’s called the Terraform 3 and surprisingly, it has everything he needs to live full time while traveling around the United States. Richard’s goal was to build a tiny house that was easy to get around with.
By the way, he originally lived in a 250 sq. ft. tiny house but decided that was too big so he sold it and downsized into this 54 sq. ft. tiny!

In this post our friend Deek shows you how to install the simplest and most affordable heater for your tiny house.
In this case, it’s an Envi Wall Heater. As Deek will tell you in the video below, these are great because they’re thin, you can paint them to match your wall, and they doesn’t use that much power!
So if you want, go ahead and watch as Deek installs the unit in a friend’s box truck conversion tiny house! Enjoy!

This is the story of a 13-year-old who built his own tiny cabin for only $1500!
Meet Luke Thill, who at age twelve started working on his very own tiny house- one a mere 5′ by 10′, but with a sleep loft, transforming dining table, and even a small kitchenette. At age thirteen, using money from summer lawn-mowing jobs, and bartering (electrical wiring help in exchange for cleaning out a garage in one case), Iowa’s Thill completed his tiny house- one that he calls the practice precursor to a future “real” tiny house he plans on designing and eventually living in.2
This is the Modern Willow Treehouse in Willow, New York. It’s designed by architect Antony Gibbon and was built by William Johnson and shown to us thanks to Derek Diedricksen of Relaxshacks.com.
Deek likes to call it the ‘Luxury $300k Spaceship Tree House’ in one of his latest YouTube videos where he features it and shares it with us. Please enjoy the tour below and let us know what you think in the comments!
If you weren’t one of the 40,000 people who made it to the 2015 Tiny House Jamboree sponsored/hosted/organized by Eco Cabins ( in Colorado Springs, Colorado this post will give you a recap of what you missed!
Can you believe it? Thousands of tiny house people from all over the world got together in one place over the course of a weekend? People from all 50 states and 10 different countries too!
This event proved that LOTS of people want and need more affordable housing options. More alternative housing projects, developments and communities that are smaller, smarter, and more affordable, right? And the good news is that we’re making progress aren’t we?
