i enjoyed this very much. thanks. If it is in my future I hope to get one built in one of my kid’s back yards. Only GOD knows my future so I must wait patiently. gloriana in Tucson AZ
Nice house! I hope to one day build one myself. Currently Anyhow, I had a question about cutting off the railing of your flatbed. From my understanding this is structural, and that flatbeds that don’t have it are reinforced elsewhere. Have you looked into this? I wondered if the house itself would reinforce it?
@Micah, when you say structural which direction of stress are you thinking the side rails would support? They don’t do anything significant for a load pressing toward the earth. As far as I know, they’re just to keep things from falling off the sides. The load rests on the axles. When I had mine cut off, no one said anything about structural support.
wow..i live here in ft worth and im looking to buy a small piece of land to have a tiny house.i just dont know how to begin or to look for.so many questions in my head but i want out the space im in and to call something my home.id love to see if theres any workshops or how to classes.im so wanting to change things for the better…please let me know if you have any answers…
Gary, I don’t know of anything in Fort Worth. If there’s a particular part of the process you’re unfamiliar with, there are resources online. There are a few different tiny house books. I found basic framing and wiring books pretty helpful. I got copies from the library but if you want your own you can get them at any home improvement store or amazon. I think Tumbleweed only comes through the state once or twice a year and it’s usually to Austin. Plus, they’re showing how to build their style of homes and they’re pretty pricey. My video course is intended to substitute for a workshop too.
