The Tiny House Family recently went on Anderson Cooper. As you can see, the actual-size outline of their home in black is even smaller than the show’s stage! Hari: Our tiny home is 8’ x 21’ with a full loft. The loft has 3’ of head space. We built two separate lofts for a bit?of privacy. There are areas of the house dedicated to office, living, dining, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and?wardrobe. Appliances and fixtures include a 12 gallon hot water heater under the kitchen counter, an apartment-sized range, a large hood (which vents the house in minutes), an under-counter refrigerator, a built-in couch and?shoe bench (both of which open up for storage), a toilet, a shower, a hand sink and a kitchen sink. Each family member?has his/her own cabinet for clothing. The windows and full-light door help bring lots of natural light inside making?a connection to the outdoors.
Hari: It fit into our long-term plan to build a small mortgage-free homestead. After saving for and buying the land, the?well and septic, and putting in a driveway, we weren’t left with a lot of money. We were also still in Florida, but?we wanted to start building. Building on a flatbed trailer made it possible to start building while still in Florida.?It was also possible to build to completion even with our small grubstake. Building tiny also made it easy to find?salvaged/overstock/leftover construction materials. When you only need 12 sq. feet of tile, and 100 sq. ft. of?flooring, it’s easy to find deals.
Hari: $12,000. We kept costs down by salvaging, using Craigslist and doing all of the labor ourselves.
