It just makes sense, why be married to a large house payment. Even if you have some building skills , this is a less expensive option. The cool thing is you could set it up for 110 volt or 12 volt power. Then use propane to cook with, and use a fridge for an rv that goes 110 volt or 12 volt propane. After seeing this and being a carpenter for 35 years. I'm going build one like this. It's all one needs. Money in your pocket is better than wasting your life away trying pay for a home that is to expensive and cost you 3000k a month to own. Taxes go up, and wages go down.

There are so many different ways to make it unique and also to your skill level. We could have saved a lot of money as well by doing things cheaper. Check out our "cost of going off grid" video for the info.

Pretty nice. I was surprised that there was no upper cabinets in the kitchen or bathroom, to keep medicines out of eyes of little ones. The tub is nice. I saw an idea under the stairs was made into a pantry or kids hidden toy place. The tin ceiling is a nice effect for the style you have. Nice work so far.
