The Fencil: Tiny Tumbleweed House on the Trailer

[sachaloiselle]

Congratulations! Very nice house. Im building mine this spring. So sweet man!

I would love to build one for my mother to live in when she is in town from Loreto, Baja Mexico. She lives in a trailer while renting out her homes there near the beach. But, we really want her in the PDX area to see her future grand child, at least every summer for a few months would be nice. We have a car port about 19 X 13 that should do the trick for one. I like the model with a little bed room below too. I could invite folks from the neighborhood assn to see what options they have for space

Sorry but this is insanity. I can buy a cement block construction home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on a quarter acre of land for less than you sell this tiny box for. The tiny home movement is supposed to be a solution to the skyrocketing home prices but this fails in that.

@MickScarborough Sure you can get that stuff for the price of a mini house.. but to get something for that price you are going to be in the middle of nowhere. Some people don't like living in the sticks.

The only problem to me is the handle for the skylight. such a small space and such a LONG handle. lol

That is a very well built home. A single person could live very nicely in these. The only thing I could see these needing is an ac unit. Here in Texas where we get 2 to 3 months of 100 degree days you'll die without ac.

@Dropkickpunk76 A small window unit should cool such a small space.

Yes, to sell. My brother builds them. I don't know what this one went for but if you send me your email address, I can connect you two.

[Rockclimbingboy22]

Are you building them to sell? what did you sell it for?

[kwf1111]

Thanks, I'll tell my brother, who built it! This one was sold to someone in the East Bay (of San Francisco).

Very nice job! What are you planning on doing with it?
