Tiny home packs storage stairs, 2 lofts, tub in 136 sq ft

Julie Olson needed a traveling home for her mobile dog training business. With no architecture training, she drew up plans for exactly what she needed and sent them to Jason Dietz of Molecule Tiny Homes. Over a couple of months he built her home to her specifications: a fold-out porch, storage stairs, 2 lofts (1 for sleeping, 1 for storage or 2 sleeping quarters), a slim closet, and a bathroom with tub, composting toilet, tiny sink and escape window/door for viewing nature.

The 136-square-foot home can run completely off grid with rooftop photovoltaic panels, solar batteries, a propane tank and a tankless water heater. Total cost was $45,000, but Dietz says you could bring that down by about half if you built it yourself. Part of the reason small homes on wheels cost more per square foot is because they require structural support to survive on the road. The home was built in Santa Cruz, California and it made its first trip over 3,000 miles to Maine where Olson moved in with her cats and dog to travel and study.

  • "Technically you are not supposed to live in a tiny house on private property"
    The globalist government communists are doing everything they can to drive you into the "on the grid" communist way of life! You want to leave this government intrusion on your everyday life the democrats have designed for you? Not on their watch!

  • That dude in the blue shirt either played the Riddler in the original TV Batman show or he played Radar on the TV show Mash. I know I saw this guy on one of those two shows.

  • You sound like JP sears just gotta be a bit more sarcastic haha

  • dont worry about the keys no one will steel them if we hang them outside just sitting there

  • Fortunately, some states and municipalities have more recently amended their zoning to permit "accessory dwelling units", making a tiny house legal on a lot where there is already a larger house. This one was custom built for a person's particular needs and might not please everyone (like me) for a full-time home, but it was well thought out.
