In this post you’re going to get to see how this man built a family bunkhouse tiny cabin for he and his growing family.
I think it’s great when when friends and family get together to build.
This way they don’t have to go to the bank to go into debt or have to hire expensive contractors.
This is how to build a tiny house or small cabin mortgage-free thanks to friends, family, co-workers and you.
See how this man built his very own family cabin over the course of three summers.

I thought I would share this tiny house tour with you from Slabtown Customs.
Scott Stewart (owner of the company and designer/builder) gives you a complete tour of their Flipped Loft tiny home while it’s furnished and being lived in.
I know that you probably like to see examples of tiny houses being lived in and you’ll love this because it’s a tiny home for a family of four!
That means… Yes… There’s even a kids room in here!
I encourage you to learn more about this house and how you might be able to get one or build one yourself below if you want to:

The other morning I got this email from a reader on the topic of families and tiny houses.
Here’s what it said and then I’ll give you my thoughts after (and I’d love to read your thoughts in the comments).
If you have a family and you’re thinking of going tiny don’t do it until you read this:
“Hi Alex,
I LOVE your site and am so interested in tiny houses!!! I would live in one today if I could convince my husband. We have a family of 5 (one teenage girl and two 5-year-olds). Would love to simplify our lives and live within our means. I have never seen any of these houses in person and was wondering if you knew of any in _____? We currently live in ______.
Thank you!”
So, what do you think? (share in comments & read what I think below)

While tiny houses under 400 square feet work well for individuals and couples, families with children typically need more space. Small house living for families generally falls in the 400 to 1200 square foot range, depending on family size. The motivations remain the same: cost savings, simplified lifestyle, low maintenance, and freedom to pursue other goals like travel or entrepreneurship.
Family Small House Considerations
- Solo/Couple: Under 400 SF (tiny house range)
- Small Family: 400-800 SF
- Larger Family: 800-1200 SF
- Common Motivations: Cost savings, debt reduction, simplified lifestyle
- Benefits: Lower maintenance, reduced expenses, more family time
- Considerations: Privacy needs, storage for multiple people, shared spaces
