Couple questions:

1. How long do these last?

2. Does it feel creaky or unstable, being build on the trailer bed?

Oh, and one more: I would really like to build one of these myself. Is that conceivable for someone with little experience in carpentry?

@BoboEnterprises The Tumbleweed Homes are very well built and will last a lifetime. They don't fee unstable at all. They are solid & sturdy. Our homes are designed so that anyone from novice to pro can build a Tumbleweed.

I was wondering... How long does it take to make on of these??

[TumbleweedHouses]

@JinxvBird It depends on the house & how many people are helping with the build.

@davettalashley Seeing how they construct it, clearly these "Tiny Houses" are built far more sturdy than standard housing. The large majority of the framing process is glued and screwed together. Have you ever seen how strong the bond is between two pieces of glued wood? Put it in a vice and break it, if you can, and the wood itself will break before the glued bond will. And they are screwed on top of it?; Extremely durable construction.

Why can't some people get their heads around the fact that a Tumbleweed Tiny House is just as well-built and stable as any other house, it's just smaller?

Tiny doesn't mean that they skimp on quality. It just costs less because it's tiny and requires less materials to build it. It's not a lean-to or a shed. It's a HOUSE.

@TumbleweedHouses What if it is just one person?

What kind of trailer do you look for? Anything in particular? Perhaps a maximum capacity I should look for?

I'd sure love to come apprentice for you guys or something. Where are you located?

So, do you just utilize local laundromats for laundry/cleaning needs?

I do graphics with a CPU tower, on-site, part time. Also oil painting. Want to move away from on-site work. Where can I get a list of material providers? I want home/studio on wheels that's more stealth for city, inside a stepvan? Can you recommend a builder or workshop to do cost comparison between Tiny House, a custom stepvan or just a used class B motor home? Preferably the help would come from a Tiny House builder to help me draw plans then build.
