re: Do you know anyone who bought/built, a Tiny House?

One of my good friends was attempting to build a tiny home last year. He bought the trailer and started welding some of the frame work on it. He was told he should get the axles checked out and so he did. My buddy was told that both axles were bad and that it was a miracle the trailer could still be usable. So, my buddy had to end that dream and now he has bought a bus that he is gutting and turning into a RVish.

I have watched many of the TV shows, youtube videos, etc. on tiny homes with him. It does seem to appeal more to people on the coasts or those with lots of land. That lifestyle is not for me. I kept asking where he would have all of his guests and his response was "it's a tiny home, I don't want to have guests".

I would certainly not but him in the SJW, hipster, or Hippie category. This may not help his case but another one of his dreams or goals is to walk across America. It takes a whole year to complete.
