If you’ve enjoyed our posts on Samantha and Robert’s THOW, SHEDsistence, you might love their “Built With Our Hands” E-Book.

We already showed you the construction pictures and images of the amazing finished product (which took them 14 months and $30,000 to build), but maybe you want something a more in-depth. Then buy this e-book! We did 🙂

The $15 PDF includes 145 pages following this couple’s DIY tiny house journey. You’ll get highly-detailed chapters on their preparation, design and construction of SHED. You’ll also get copies of the floor plans, elevations and see more interior and exterior finished photos.

They include a tools list and explanations of everything they did from floor framing, to building wrap, to electrical and plumbing work. Basically, if you are looking for a technical, but engaging explanation of what it’s really like to design and build a tiny house from concept to completion, then you’ll love your copy of this book.

Take a peak inside!

This is Jared and Haley’s Tiny Mountain Home that was nominated for 2016 Tiny House of the Year!

Jared and Haley were ready to start having more fun and traveling more. They designed and built their own tiny home in the beginning of 2016 and currently reside in the mountains of North Carolina in a tiny house community. They have been living tiny with their two dogs for 7 months now, and absolutely love it! They were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to adjust to the small space of their home. Their tiny home is on a twenty foot trailer and is completely off grid capable.

Their immediate plans are to stay in Asheville, NC until after their wedding in the fall of 2017. Then they hope to buy land near Chattanooga TN and start their family and tiny homestead.

They both agree that this was the best decision they possibly could have made together. The freedom tiny living allows them is priceless 🙂 If you want to learn more about Jared and Haley Rhodes check out www.tinymountainrhodes.com and follow on Instagram!

This is a 1950s Retro Tiny House by Trekker Trailers that has one of my favorite features: A colorful fridge!

I’ve been seeing these more and more on Pinterest and in tiny homes, particularly this aqua/turquoise color. Trekker Trailers designed the custom build around the buyer’s refrigerator choice, and it’s pretty darn cute! Plus, the fold-down bed is a nice space-saver!

This is the SHEDsistence Tiny House. We’ve featured this great build in the past (and even named it one of our favorites of 2016!), but it turns out there are now new, even better images of the home that we get to share with you.

The 204 sq. ft. tiny was the DIY brainchild of Robert and Samantha, an architect and nurse who spent 14 months and $30,000 designing and building their very own tiny home. They’ve now lived in it for a whole year and wrote a fantastic post about their first 365 days of tiny home living. It’s well worth a read!
