Nov 16, 2023I built a luxury tiny home for $1,000 with two beds, massive TV and I can live anywhere
Jul 01, 2023A CONSTRUCTION enthusiast has built a movable luxury tiny home for under $890.
In a YouTube video, two brothers explained how they used glue, old school bus parts, and Facebook Marketplace to build a sustainable tiny home.
The brothers packed a kitchen, two beds, and a living room into a 48-square-foot recreational home.
Starting with a trailer they bought on Facebook Marketplace for just $100, the brothers (@ChayDenne) used construction materials they had from a former build.
The siblings previously transformed an old school bus into a tiny home.
The brothers prioritized water-proofing, money-saving, and low-weight materials starting with the flooring.
Planks of two-by-fours framed the exterior of the home.
After covering the framing with plywood, the brothers used an unconventional material to seal the home.
"So this is what's known as poor-man's fiber glass," the content creator said while holding a paint roller with glue.
The creator explained that they applied glue to the exterior plywood panels before covering the glue with drop cloths.
They covered all four walls and the roof with the at-home materials.
"If we were to cover up the outside like a regular camper in real fiber glass, this part right here would have cost anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000," the creator said.
The materials for the glue-based fiber glass cost just $129.
A coat of exterior paint baked the glue into the home's exterior, weather-proofing the home's casing.
Homemade metal corners finished the exterior's final touches.
Using a series of reused wires, wood pallets, and sheet metal, the brothers built a two-bed home.
Two bunk beds take up the driver's side.
The lower bunk bed can be used as the living room's couch.
The passengers's side of the RV has a flat-screen television and a small kitchen.
The kitchen has a full-size sink and enough counter space for an electric cooktop.
A re-used air conditioning unit sits above the trailer's hitch.
Overall, the materials used to build the tiny home cost just $890.

Also, this finished tiny home is just $15,000.
