They purchased the shell from a solar company and finished out the interior. It's solar-powered and has a greywater recycling system to water their garden. It's used as a creative studio, but they also wanted to use it as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). But they came to find out the city doesn't allow homes on wheels to be occupied OR "camping" on residential properties. For now, they love using their backyard tiny house as a creative retreat & workspace for their music and visual arts/designer work. 🏡👉 See more of their tiny house renovation: https://www.instagram.com/micasaesyuccasa 📸🖌️ Follow Liz's Little Nook Studio: https://www.littlenookstudio.com 🎼 Follow Dave & his music: https://www.instagram.com/youngisdavid 👉CONNECT with tiny nerds, Alexis & Christian: https://instagram.com/tiny_house_expedition https://facebook.com/TinyHouseExpedition https://www.tiktok.com/@tiny_house_expedition Please SUBSCRIBE for more tiny houses, DIY, design, community, simple living & alternative lifestyle, and documentaries. 🏡✨❤️ 🤝 Brand Deals: tinyhouseexpedition@thestation.io ✨Check out our website for tiny house resources: https://tinyhouseexpedition.com 👀 CREDITS: ❇️ produced & edited by Tiny House Expedition's Christian & Alexis ❇️ shot by Blake Hemmel, https://www.youtube.com/c/BlakeHemmel ❇️ additional photos courtesy of https://www.instagram.com/micasaesyuccasa Video Chapters: 0:00 - backyard tiny house 1:15 - interior tour 4:36 - sponsor message 5:37 - loft 6:05 - artists' tiny house journey 7:59 - kitchen & closet 9:51 - bathroom & greywater recycling 11:31 - finding a shell 12:18 - tiny house cost & build #tinyhouse #tinyhousedesign #tinyhomes

Ductless mini-split systems are the top heating & cooling options for tiny homes, but what about bigger homes? Welcome to Tiny Stuff product reviews! Introducing the 18,000 BTU Senville Dual Zone Mini Split Heat Pump system: https://amzn.to/3PZ0nKD. 🔥💨 We share top features, show how to install it, and things to consider to help you decide it’s right for your home, no matter the size. Installing the Senville 18,000 BTU ductless dual zone mini split system in our 800 sqft A-frame cabin was the best option for us for affordability, space efficiency for our quirky small space, extreme temperature capability, and ease of use, thanks to the WiFi-enabled app. Mini-splits are often found in tiny houses because they’re multifunctional with heating, cooling & dehumidifying. They’re also ultra energy-efficient, space-efficient, and cost-efficient. The benefits multiply for larger homes, especially with multi-zone systems. We found that Senville Aura series systems edge out top competitors in a couple key ways. 👉Check out more cool stuff for tiny homes & off-grid living: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlvBXhDyr9H2N_xcYeQb95H3TIY9moBH0 Please SUBSCRIBE for more tiny houses, DIY, design, community, simple living & alternative lifestyle, and documentaries. 🏡✨❤️ 👉CONNECT with us tiny nerds, Alexis & Christian, on our socials: https://instagram.com/tiny_house_expedition https://facebook.com/TinyHouseExpedition ✨Check out our website for tiny house resources: https://tinyhouseexpedition.com CREDITS: ❇️ created by Tiny House Expedition's Christian & Alexis Video Chapters: 0:00 - intro 0:28 - 18k BTU dual zone mini split 1:37 - what's included 3:31 - how to install 5:51 - 2nd-story considerations 6:58 - connecting the line sets 8:11 - mini split & install costs 8:53 - app & voice control 9:31 - energy efficiency #minisplit #productreview #installation #smallhouse #smallspaceliving

They began with a 30' diameter yurt kit, then custom-built a beautiful, whimsical interior with a loft bedroom. About 700 sqft. It sits on 23 acres, transformed from raw land to a fully off-the-grid homestead with a robust solar power system, rainwater catchment, and a HomeBiogas setup that turns waste into cooking gas. The build process involved extreme heat----took sacrifice but was 100% worth it. It mostly paid for with cash as they went. They're now debt-free and live very affordably. To pay for vacations, they rent their yurt on HipCamp and hit the road in their travel trailer. 🌱☀️🏡 👉 Follow their off-grid lifestyle: @thatyurtcouple& https://linktr.ee/Whitney.Wildflower 🍳✨👉 Learn more about Home Biogas: https://www.homebiogas.com/ref/7 👉CONNECT with tiny nerds, Alexis & Christian: https://instagram.com/tiny_house_expedition https://facebook.com/TinyHouseExpedition https://www.tiktok.com/@tiny_house_expedition Please SUBSCRIBE for more tiny houses, DIY, design, community, simple living & alternative lifestyle, and documentaries. 🏡✨❤️ 🤝 Brand Deals: tinyhouseexpedition@thestation.io ✨Check out our website for tiny house resources: https://tinyhouseexpedition.com 👀 CREDITS: ❇️ produced by Tiny House Expedition's Christian & Alexis ❇️ shot by Blake Hemmel, https://www.youtube.com/c/BlakeHemmel ❇️ edited by Payton Wagner, https://vimeo.com/paytonwagner ❇️ additional photos courtesy of https://www.instagram.com/whitney.wildflower Video Chapters: 0:00 - off grid homestead 1:11 - Home Biogas system 1:48 - yurt home tour 4:09 - sponsor message 5:14 - bathroom 7:15 - off-grid life misconception 8:41 - alternative living journey 10:35 - loft bedroom 11:56 - living room 13:22 - kitchen design 15:10 - air conditioning 15:54 - yurt & land costs 18:11 - DIY build experience 19:18 - sacrifices required #simpleliving #offgrid #smallhouse #smallspaceliving #offgridhomestead #hayday

They've been interested in alternative living for a long time, but their experience on the Discovery Channel's The Garden: Commune or Cult reality show (now on Max) encouraged them to reorganize their priorities. This led them to embrace a more sustainable, simple lifestyle and move on to their family's 40-acre homestead to build out a tiny cabin, initially started by her dad. It features a robust solar power system & off-grid utilities. Tyler now works as a survivalist instructor, while Heather works remotely as a criminal defense investigator.
