I just had to show you Tim and Hannah’s off-the-grid 196 sq. ft. micro cabin.
They built it themselves completely in Tahoe, California and have been living in it for almost two years.
The couple started off with 20 acres and absolutely no blueprints.
But I’m sure they had tons of ideas that they had gathered online while dreaming about the project years before.
So here’s what they came up with… And it was all completely DIY with the intention of creating a space for living simply.

Our tiny house friends from New Zealand are at it again with another amazing tiny house tour.
Bryce Langston of Living Big in a Tiny House visits Brett Sutherland who just finished his 161 sq. ft. debt-free tiny home.
He was living in the Caribbean for many years and wanted to return home to New Zealand.
But Brett feared that if he had to rent a place to stay he’d lose all of his savings as soon as he returned home.
So instead of renting or buying a normal home, he looked into mortgage-free options and decided on building his own tiny mobile villa and named it the NV.

This is the story of Frank’s micro cabin on wheels. He built it in all of about two months, doing all of the work himself, and using sustainable materials from his area in western North Carolina.
He’s a traveling carpenter who spends lots of time on the road, so this is going to be something he tows with him so he doesn’t have to stay at motels. What do you think?

I thought you’d also enjoy this DIY tiny house project. It involves a really inventive man who went from 2000 sq. ft. to a 160 sq. ft. micro home.
The owner/builder has been living in it for more than 5 years now. The micro home is very energy efficient and was very inexpensive to build.
He built it with the help of his brother. They designed and built it all themselves using mostly reclaimed materials.

And by the way, the two vehicles you see above on the right have been converted into electric power.
This is one really interesting/inspiring guy… Not just a tiny house… But DIY electric cars, too.

Shaye and Tom are a young couple who decided to design and build their own tiny house in West Auckland, New Zealand. It measures 7.2 meters long by 2.4 meters wide which translates to approximately 24′ x 8′. Or a total of 15 square meters (or 161 square feet).
They’ve only been living in it for two weeks as of the filming of the video tour and interview you can watch below thanks to the folks at Living Big in a Tiny House. What’s really inspiring is that the couple had never built anything like this before. They were able to learn most of what they needed by watching videos on the Internet.
What might be even more inspiring is that they’re only going to spend a total of about $20,000 to build it themselves. And that’s all with very high-quality materials used for the build.

If you’ve been discouraged by tiny house prices lately think again. Macy Miller of Mini Motives was able to design and build her own DIY tiny house for just $11,000.
And now… she’s offering the plans so if you want, you can build one just like it. More information on that below. The 196 sq. ft. mobile micro home is simple, beautiful, functional, and best of all… No mortgage.

Today I wanted to show you a great example of how you can turn an existing cargo van into an inexpensive DIY camper.
If you’ve ever thought about van dwelling then you’ll probably love this van conversion.
The person who converted this van wanted to create something that she can travel with and go one or two nights without any hookups on her way to her destination.
The cool part about this one is that it has standing room thanks to the fact that it’s a high top van that she found on Craigslist.
Since it’s a high top she’s able to change clothes, shower, and even cook in there with comfort.
Here, let me show you the van:

When she first got it, it looked like this on the inside (see below):
