He built a Tiny House at age 24 and Updating it at 30

We all grow and change, and unsurprisingly, the first tiny house Richard ever built has needed some updates as the years rolled by. He lived in the THOW for about 18 months after building it, and then had it on Airbnb for about 4 years as he traveled cross-country in a micro tiny house!

When he came back to the house, he realized some of his 24-year-old self’s ideas weren’t that great. So now he is ripping out the old kitchen, has replaced his epoxy bathroom floor with “normal” tile, and actually bought a couch. Enjoy the old tour and Richard’s updates in the video below.

Oh, and yes you can still buy plans for the tiny house here!

    Its wonderful to see young people built something for themselves. This young man knew what he was doing and after 6 years living tiny, he’s rebuilding. Keep up the good work!
