21 Year Old's Ingenious £5,000 Tiny Home!
Переглядів 1,983,263
6 місяців томуThis weeks episode is my absolute favourite kind. An innovative tiny house design which has been DIY built and for a budget which is truly hard to believe!
Over the past years we have seen the cost of building sore to new heights and I never thought I'd see another tiny home built for a budget even close to this! In a world where now even the majority of DIY projects can be accompanied by some huge budgets, it's amazing to know that this is still possible!
Jack's project was made possible by a tremendous amount of hard work though. Doing the build over a period of three years gave him a lot of time to cleverly source materials and chip away at the project. Still, he is now only 21 years old and has his very own tiny home! What an accomplishment!

If this was in an area where you can go on a beach or spend time outside 9 months a year that would be terrific. Being trapped in a closet sized home all year could be challenging, no matter how cute. The heating method alarms me. Such a tiny space. You absolutely want to make sure you have lots of ventilation. But it is a sweet view and lovely work. Unfortunately I had abandoned chicken coops on the property I grew up on that were this size and they were amazing play houses.

This is true, but my guess is they worked hard to maintain the property. If they weren't sensible, forward planning folks, as this tiny house demonstrates, they'd have lost the farm to frivolous spending trying to keep up with new farming fads. The grandfather sewed the seed of conservation, when surrounding farmers were focused on monocultural practices and returns. His investment took longer to get a financial return, but he was planning for generations of life succeeding. Which the grandson now gets to enjoy.

@TxHoneyBee 6 місяців тому
@@wordhappyHazel Right! We cannot understate his family's support. It sounds like he comes from a family of builders. So between his dad who worked on the build (more than the young man did, he admits), his uncle who owns a construction business (likely helped with engineering and design), and the grandfather who own a 'decent size' farm of 100 acres where he can park his tiny for free, he received loads of help and money to build this. His family's main home is a whole villa, even, and so I'm sure he had a nice place to stay and a warm meal while his tiny was being built. It may have cost HIM only 5,000 pounds but a lot of time and money went into the outcome, indeed. I think it's important to differentiate between a self-made build vs. someone who got loads of support. The outcome is no less beautiful, but why not give credit to those who helped him make a dream come true? Also, why not give credit to people who literally built their tiny home with little to no outside help or financing? It makes a huge difference in terms of the story behind the final product, for me personally.

My dad was so encouraging and supportive of me. On the other hand my mother is almost threatened and competitive of me. She even insulting me publicly in front of her friends. It didn’t stop me from becoming a successful woman general building contractor. I did it and she never celebrated my successes even when I had millions of dollars in value under contract

@@dongilley3273 Adult children decide how they want to live their life. Maybe take an interest in THEM and ask questions. You might learn something about them. You can't try to make them do what you wish they would do. If they have nothing to do with you, they have a reason. It could just be them, or you, or a combination.

Whilst there’s a luxury in owning land that’s quite rare - you can tell this was such a genuine labour of love and collaboration between him and his family ❤ hope they are both very happy in their lovely new home! Maybe one day if they wanted to upsize, they could use this as a little getaway/airbnb as a side project!

Beautiful build! I think it’s fair and important to note that beyond using second hand materials, having family with construction businesses and tools is a huge part of that low cost. Even at its small size, this would cost many times more without those advantages. Good on him for utilizing those to his benefit! Love the pullout bed especially.

Exactly! Two things can be true at the same time. I think it’s the title of the video that’s a bit misleading. If you’re coming to really see a tiny house built for that price, you’re about to be disappointed unless you have the factors we’ve mentioned.

No, that's correct way to put that, it cost so much to BUILD it. If you're talking about access, and "external costs" because you can't work with other people, you would add costs on those de-merits. Not the building of it. If you're Amish you can build an even better house for cheaper. You've got no excuse. Either form a collective today or rely on heritage, but cooperation and lack thereof requires it's SEPARATE crediting. What you're saying here is, "I can't just go to retailer and BUY this property, like all the ther cheap stuff my country gains through exploitation" like it's a bundle of bananas.

@messymont 6 місяців тому
A fellow Thai here. We do have smaller houses in Thailand, but not as small as this scale (a footprint of trailer!) I personally think it’s because of the cultural differences. Most Thai lives with their extended family, so a house must be a bit bigger to accommodate family members from their baby to their grandparents - which is why many people prefer bigger houses. Though, younger generations are starting to wanting their own space now, so I can see tiny homes becoming more popular. Living small is more common in bigger cities, especially in Bangkok. But with the population density, you’ll most likely end up living in a smaller apartment (aka “condo”), rather than a smaller house. Wood, while traditionally is a common building material, couldn’t quite withstand the high humidity nor termites. It is also becoming more and more expensive because of resource scarcity. If you want your wooden house to last, then the wood must be properly treated thermally and chemically, which is a long and expensive process. Modern Thais prefer to build with concrete/brick & mortar than with wood.

@@messymont Thanks for a this comprehensive reply. Yes I'd heard about the vulnerability of wood from a European engineer who'd lived in Thailand. Regarding the resource scarcity.. is there a reafforestation programme underway? I imagine the climate would be favourable towards fast growing species. Also if concrete/brick and mortar are still the most common building material.. is there an 'alternative building' community promoting variations such as hempcrete, rammed-earth, cob or rendered strawbale?
