It is a small tiny house because we only used a 16 foot trailer.
And then one of the features that a lot of people like about this house is that we actually
used the triangle at the front and we've actually worked on it and put some storage on it.
So if you go here, it's the seating area, it's like your living room.
You can remove the cushions which are kept in place with velcro.
You can move them and then you can lift this, and then you've got storage.
This space is also there in case somebody would like to install solar panels on this
house.
And then same thing for this one over here.
This also opens.
The dining area...if you're only 2 people then you can actually have one person eating
here and one person eating there.
Let's say you have guests over.
This table isn't fixed, it's movable.
You can actually take your table and move it over here.
So you can be 4 or 5 people around this table.
Most of our models have a galley kitchen in them.
We have lots of countertops.
All the lights here are LED.
Gas stove, gas heater, and then we have the hot water heater that's underneath here.
It's for the sink and the shower, so all the plumbing is run through the cabinets.
We didn't go in the walls because you don't want them to freeze.
This is our electrical panel which is also a spice rack.
You open it so you have 2 functions here.
Basically we did a mirror, and people tell us ah you've installed it on the wrong side
and we're like no no no no.
It's because I don't have a mirror in the bathroom.
So someone who gets out of the shower actually has the mirror to look at.
And the other thing is...if you're getting dressed and you want to look at yourself,
if you do that, then you can move it.
We don't have a freshwater tank in this one but if we had to install one, it would be
installed under the sink.
Once again, this is our prototype, you know, this is a learning curve.
Some of the stuff...one of the things that we're definitely going to improve is our shower
space.
Because it's trial and error and because we maybe didn't put enough emphasis on it at
the beginning for the plumbing.
So this is our shower space.
Basically what it is...the reason why it's high is because we have a grey water tank
that we located underneath.
We wanted to keep it above the insulation because this is a tiny house that you can
live in, in the winter.
Basically what you're going to have here is...this is our shower space. There's going to be a step, we're going
to add a step.
And we're probably going to cut open the mezzanine, raise the roof up, and actually use that space
for a night table upstairs.
So that it serves as a shower and it serves as the night table.
This unit is installed with a Separett toilet.
We need to finalize the connections but these are great.
Before we go upstairs.
This is one of the features that people really like about this house.
We've taken Japanese stairs.
You've got handles in it.
You need to get used to getting into these.
A lot of people come here and if they're left-handed, they'll try to go up with their left foot.
So it's kind of hard.
So you've got to go with your right foot and you just go up.
We have a sliding window upstairs.
The reason why we've used sliding windows is because eventually people will have to
change their mattress.
And once you open it, you can actually slide a queen mattress through the windows.
We actually built those cases, those wood crates.
You can remove them.
They're built on a...with a 45 degree wood cleat.
This one can be removed as well.
We like to create structures in wood.
And a tiny house for me is like, you know, I couldn't ask for more wood.
Everything is built in wood, the exterior is built in wood.
We've tried to use locally harvested products.
The tiny house allows us to be creative.
We're building one right now that's actually a Gypsy-style tiny house.
Which, originally, we were like aw, it's not really, you know, it's not our style.
And then when we started looking at how we were going to do it, I was like oh my god,
this is too much fun. Let's do it.
So this is where we get creative and interesting.
That's what I like about working in a tiny space.
You've got to think outside the box even though you're in a small box.
