Introduction

T is book will teach you how to get started with your tiny house dream. There is an entire movement that is sweeping the nation, making houses more affordable and even more mobile. The usual size is 2,400 square feet for a home in the United States, and the size has been increasing over the last few decades. Therefore people are taking up an even larger carbon footprint than they had in the past.

Theres no reason to throw away money renting when you can design a smaller home with a smaller carbon footprint, low energy cost, and stay out of debt. This movement equals freedom for most people, as well as being eco-friendly and supporting to the minimalist lifestyle.

The best part is that you dont have to give up the luxury that you desire when you build your own tiny home. Just pick one of the two options that fit you best. You can either build a mobile tiny home or a stationary one. You can start building your tiny home with this easy guide to get started!

Chapter 1: A Little about Tiny Houses

Y ou may be asking yourself exactly what is a tiny house? Its just a home thats been shrunken down, making it more affordable even though its little smaller. Theyre built either so that theyre stationary or so that theyre mobile, and if you decide to go mobile its built on a trailer thats meant to support the load of the tiny home. When you build a stationary tiny home you just build it on a plot of land.

Mobile Tiny Homes

T here are many benefits to a mobile home.

• Travel: This is the biggest reason that people choose to have a mobile tiny home. Many people want to travel but worry about how theyll live while doing so. This eliminates the worry.
• Planning: Its a little easier to plan for a mobile tiny home because youll be building with your dimensions in mind. Youll have to limit it to the same size as your trailer.
• Simplicity: The layout will be simple but also allows you to be innovative with the design of your tiny home.

Mobile tiny homes are smaller than static ones on average because they have to be built on a trailer bed. This requires a lot more creativity, and you will want to build a little taller as well. There are some trailers that are even fifty-three feet long. There are different types of trailers that youll need to pick from as well. Some trailers, for example, have a deck which will make your building space a little smaller.

However, a trailer with a drop deck style is popular among those in the tiny house movement since it provides storage underneath the deck, and it provides an upper area that can be built into a bedroom. Just keep in mind that there are limits to how high you can build a mobile tiny home. About thirteen feet is the highest you can build for safety reasons. There are some tiny home designs that have figured a way to beat that with pulley and winches, but these are much more difficult. You can add more width by building side extensions as well.
