So cool. I'd be curious on how well insulated the whole structure is, and water proofness over time. Also, how would you do it differently if it is not going to be moved at all. But great video !
Hey, sorry if I missed this because the wife was watching tv in the background. Do you allow any space for expansion? Or is this achieved with the 5mm/10mm overlap? Great finish, a lot of work but definitely worth it.
Little tip. While the argon gas should be free of moisture, it's difficult to remove all water vapour from the sealed glass. Even a small amount clinging to the glass can cause condensation. If you fill the aluminium spacers with a desiccant then you will eliminate any remaining moisture in the sealed panel.
Absolutely smashing!!! Impressed and captivated. I live in a gorgeous THOW myself and admire your sleek design as well as your sweet enthusiasm! Well done!!
You did a great job but I purchased an older RV here in Texas for only $2,000.00 US dollars. Everything worked until my neighbors started messing with my RV. But replaced it for only $300.00
Your work is amazing! It’s nice to know I’m not the only psychopath who is willing to tear out a bunch of hard work and redo it for the sake of four millimeters of ugliness. (Although I haven’t attempted something as ambitious as a tiny house yet.) impressive!
Phenomenal, just awesome. Congratulations on creating something so inventive and inspiring. I appreciate you doing it and going all out. I hope you enjoy it.
I can’t quite figure why you made it in place, above your head rather than making a double glazed panel on the ground and then lifting it into place 🤔 Was it to save cost? I would worry about movement between the roof panels and walls etc could cause the seal to fail over time. Or is this a tiny home that will never/seldom be moved? Is this near/in the join between the trailers? I’ll have to watch your other videos to find the answers… I’ve seen that they usually put some desiccant in the edge of the seal to absorb any excess moisture. I don’t know if that’s still done on all double glazing or if technology has improved. It will be interesting see how this holds up. Obviously the reason I’m here is to see options for putting double glazing in my own tiny home. I’m off shortly to a local window maker, who is selling a veritable shit tonne of double glazed panels - practically giving them away. Better than dumping them, which is what they usually do!
It's no secret that I've been in awe of your skillset from the very get-go. Your attention to detail, patience, and problem-solving skills are beyond extraordinary. But now you've added making circuit boards, electrical fittings, automation/control, and programming. Enjoy the finishing-up process & crafting your showcase finale. 👍🥳🎉🏆👍
Great work mate! Also on the home stretch of my tiny house build ("just" kitchen cabinets and a bunch of little details to go) and the struggle is real. The four-year one-year project... Good luck on the home stretch!
Good luck finishing it up. Your guy is looking really good and looking so sharp so far and a bread light switches. Those are so gorgeous they remind me of the early 90 with a little bit of 1970 feel
too bad about the fireplace, i LOVE fireplaces. really excited to see the kitchen by the way, sorry for being nosy, but what is your profession? A mechanical engineer? why are such a smartypants?
I was thinking today on how to make my own doubled pane windows. I thought of the same thing, tire valves. However, using MIG gas never occurred to me. Brilliant idea. Do you think using wood for the frame , sealed with brush on bed liner, would keep the argon from leaking out ?
This tiny house is gorgeous! While watching you tell about your process, I see myself building one, too. Thank you also for stressing out the importance of the little things that make the design even more worth it.
Great engineering, I have a question, why did you wanted to join the houses, what where you trying to solve, whats the main scope? When coupling the houses there will be air gaps, it will be complicated to achieve air tightness, its good to have thermal insulation, it's also better to couple it with air tightness.
Really love some of the solutions you've been coming up with Phil and as ever your attention to detail is second to none! Your switches look beautiful and I bet they feel amazingly tactile to use, such a satisfying feeling 💡 👐🏻
When I first saw the light switch I thought, oh don't tell me he's hand machined and knurled brass light switch, but of course he has! Oh and those windows are amazing.
🙌 _INCREDIBLE!_ *THERE'S ONLY* one other RU-vid channel I've seen with the same level of dedication to quality as you - MyMechanics. He's got 3.5 million subscribers and you deserve the same. Going to fire off a couple of questions in case you have a spare moment over a cup of coffee. Maybe you could do a Q&A with other people's questions too sometime. *1)* How do you maintain your motivation over the length of a project like this, seemingly working solo most of the time, and around your career? *2)* How much of the project is down-to-the-last detail planning and how much is organic, seat-of-your-pants as you see it develop? Do you use a spreadsheet, a checklist, some kind of project management software, a pad & pencil? How do you avoid getting overwhelmed, distracted, or doing things out of order when there's thousands of tasks? *3)* What's your background? How did you come to be so handy at so many trades and disciplines? *4)* You contracted the cabinetry - is that just because of time? It would be easy peasy for you I'd imagine.
