Tiny House

In the winter of 2013 I built my Tiny House on a twin-axle trailer in the driveway of my parents’ house.  I designed the entire project myself, and took 5 months of construction and painting etc to complete.  I had never built anything like this before, but had experience building several small boats in my past.

I wanted an off-the-grid, self-contained home that would free me from the stresses of obtaining a constant and regular income just to survive economically.  As an artist, this will  allow me to concentrate more on my art than on money.

While building my Tiny House, I found that the help and advice of others was hugely beneficial… sometimes you really just can’t do it all.  I got a welder to weld the trailer once I’d prepared the parts, and my father terminated the electrical wiring for me.  Other than that I built the whole thing, and it was a very satisfying challenge – even those difficult moments that test one’s nerve.

I highly recommend people to consider building their own Tiny House and start to break free of the constant bills one faces in a ‘normal’ society.  Then you will find the time to explore your own human potential.

I have drawn up the designs for my Tiny House and, along with writing a building guide and 70 development photos for reference, they are available for purchase.  Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing my plans.
