22 year-old started tiny home building business from the ground up in Kansas

ST. MARYS (KSNT) – One young northeast Kansas man has turned his hobby into his day job.
Right after high school, St. Mary’s native Benedict Kaiser planned to build a small cabin for himself. He started by enrolling in construction classes at a local tech school.
“I was going through school at Washburn Tech at the time, and they gave me a good introduction into the world of the trades,” said Benedict. “It gave me a basic understanding of electricity, plumbing even.”
He said gaining that knowledge gave him the confidence to finish his house and to consider making more.
Last March, he sold his first tiny home and got certified to run his own business. Now, he’s getting ready to sell his fifth tiny home.
It’s a big change from his original plan to use his education to take over the family business. But, his dad, Steve Kaiser, says he couldn’t be prouder of the career his son is building for himself.
“It would’ve been nice be able to pass the torch, you know,” said Steve. “I’m very happy for him now, because this little, tiny house business is going to do a lot better for him than I can.”

Back in my day, we called “tiny homes” a camp or a shed with electricity/plumbing. Buying a house/condo and renting out the spare bedrooms was called “getting a roommate” and not “house hacking”.

not a lot of room for the kids to play with their legos

It took kid 4 years to figure out how to build a glorified shed? I can't imagine selling 5 sheds in 13 months brings in much profit either... but there are definitely worse things to do with your time than to learn how to build.

They aren’t 80’s model bumper pull campers like your backwoods Alabama trailer park

Hipster survival skills are now Bushcraft, though it was an Aussie thing for centuries.

You sure about that???
I live in Florida, and had built more homes than he has sheds by 22. I didn't even have to pay to take classes at the community college to do it. In all fairness, my dad was a GC.

Imagine going to school for 4 years so you can crank out 5 sheds per 13 months. It's quite laughable on face value.

Was the ceiling fan really close to the ladder?
