In this post, I’m going to show you a micro houseboat that you can probably build yourself if you wanted to.
You know, one of my favorite things about tiny houses, micro cabins, and “alternative” structures is that you can be as creative as you want about it. You can build tiny however and wherever you want… On wheels or on the water (like this micro houseboat). Up in the trees or underground.

A Guest Post by Ethan – (Send us your tiny house story)
You might have last heard from me back in October/November about the first tiny home that my girlfriend Kelsey and I built and lived in outside of Austin Texas on an organic farm.
Well since that time my girlfriend and I were asked if we would be interested in selling our house and since I had already been considering building another one because building the first was so much fun we decided to take the offer on our house.
The man who bought our house also lived in our city and was interested in actually joining us in living on the farm in the house and paying the house off over time and since we had been wanting to expand the tiny house area of the farm which is called “Tiny Town” we thought that was a wonderful idea.
This conversation was had in late November and so we instantly got to work on the second house, because the first house was going to it’s new owner at the end of February.

According to the Huffington Post Kayla Feenstra is a landscaper who’s found a way to live better without a mortgage.
She designed and built the home of her dreams. It just happens to be a mortgage-free tiny home of just 130 square feet.
It’s been nicknamed, “Jack in a Box.” And she built it for just $15,000 and two months of labor. It was built right onto a trailer.
So if she ever wants to move she can simply tow and go. Especially since she doesn’t own her own land.

This is the story of a creative young lad who invented and built his own bicycle-powered ELEVATOR to get up to his tiny treehouse cabin which is built way up in the trees. Pretty incredible!
The story goes like this… Ethan got sick of climbing the ladder dozens of times a day to and from his self-built treehouse. So he did what anyone who owns a self-built treehouse would do… (kidding?) He built a cheap DIY elevator out of a bicycle!
So now when friends visit they can simply use the ladder… Or they can have a lot more fun this way. In this post, you’re going to get to see Ethan’s DIY treehouse, his DIY elevator, and briefly, how it was done.

This is the story of Ethan Waldman’s mortgage-free tiny house that he designed and built himself! What an incredible shortcut to mortgage-freedom, right? A tiny house… yes!
He built it for way less than today’s average home and is already enjoying the debt-free lifestyle that most of us work decade after decade for only to get there run down and beat up… With tiny homes, this is changing.

This is the Mighty Micro House on Wheels. It’s a 136-square-foot THOW that we first featured back in March of 2014 because it was for sale. Since then, it has sold, but it’s still documented here for your enjoyment.
This tiny house is built on an 18-foot flatbed utility trailer which makes it completely mobile. It weighs about 6,300 pounds and has two 3,500 pound axles. Step inside to find a cozy living area, kitchen, and sleeping loft. What do you think of it?

I think you’ll like this Vagabode tiny house built by a young couple.
It’s a 175 sq. ft. micro home built right onto a utility trailer.
They designed and built it for full time living to simplify their lives and reduce their impact.
With no prior building experience, they set on a journey to build it. And they did it.
