What sorts of things should you consider when thinking about building your tiny house out of an ex-refrigerated semi-trailer? It is a great way to build especially for DIYers, but there are things to watch out for as well. Mike looks at his top 5 pros and top 5 cons for going this route for your future tiny home.

HOW WE GOT TO HERE
Years in the making, we (Heidi and Mike) researched, discussed and changed our lifestyle in preparation to "go tiny". -- Please follow our journey from humble beginnings in a tent through to our final grand tiny house build in our ex-refrigerated semi-trailer.

With no building experience, we ventured into the dark and fronted every challenge including difficult weather, budget constraints, minimising our lifestyle, needing to learn a mountain of new trades, a pandemic and much more.

Choose the playlist titled "the semi-trailer project" and peruse our early pre-build times living in tents or head to Episode 6 for the start of the build. See the big final reveal when we were featured on Living Big In A Tiny House and watch the tour that Bryce Langston did about our tiny home on wheels!    • This Luxury Tiny House Was Built Insi...  

Following that, we have embarked on building out our second semi-trailer with instalments to come.

I hope you enjoy the original semi-trailer series. Having a video production background, I tried to edit them in an entertaining way but bear in mind my first focus was building and not filming a documentary, so sometimes there is a lot of me talking! But I hope you find it engaging nonetheless!

Following on from the build, we will be releasing regular content that discusses minimalist living in greater detail, shows some of the features of our house plus talks about helpful considerations for building in a semi-trailer as a home. We’ll also be connecting with friends who live this way, talk about legalities, discuss the perks of tiny house living and more as the channel grows.
