Throughout our tiny house build, I recorded my progress which ultimately became a documentary series of sorts. Even though I was really just wanting a record of the process, my background in video production meant that I tried to make it as entertaining as possible without distracting from the actual build. NEW! you’ll find our second semi-trailer project just above the original series below!

If you are thinking of building your own, or like the idea of using a semi-trailer as the basis for your new tiny home, then you might find this helpful. Or if you just like seeing the transformation of a plain-jane commercial semi-trailer into a light and stylish home! Full disclosure: this isn’t a how-to video series and I don’t show step-by-step help as it was really just me grabbing a snippet of video here and there where I could. If you have questions about things I’ve done in the video, I’m happy to answer questions in the comments.
