Paul built a custom box truck from scratch to be his tiny home on wheels. His goal is to travel the country, with an extensive collection of tools, to find a place with friendly like-minded people. He calls his lifestyle "box therapy." Oh, and he has a jacuzzi!

I have lived and worked in many different places (I am Dutch but I lived and worked about 13 years abroad (European and African continent) If you’ld ask me.....life outside the city is always better:people are open to foreigners and will judge you after they met you....and if you happen to be a lazy lying cheat they will spit you OUT!!

@juliebaker6969 2 года назад

I love the concept of tiny homes, but I am a collector and crafter. This video shows me something I never considered to be possible..... that's doable in a tiny package. My daughter will like this concept too. While I want a stationary tiny home, she's looking for mobility. She's an artist, and wants to travel around to fairs and festivals selling custom art. This concept could WORK for her, only with paint, canvases, and wood burning equipment instead of tools.

@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer 2 года назад

I'm the artist that sees a new media, gets a whole new idea, or simply a different way of how to do something & wants to start now...no THIS NOW... LOL... I used to sell art supplies so I have a better idea than most about what's available as far as fine art supplies are concerned. Still that is just part of the pieces to the puzzle of full spectrum art possibility. When Paul commented on wanting the sewing machine (a fancy one) I got it. I've wanted one also, but a simple one. The truth is there are not enough hours, days, weeks, lifetimes to do all of these things. I have to prioritize what it is I really feel called to do and do them. But a semi truck full of goodies brings a grin to my face.

This is definitely a vehicle for a single man who grew up where and when he had. When there was more 'industrial arts' taught in school so most people could be a 'jack of all trades' without needing to go to school for a specific trade. Everything is practical but he obviously enjoys it all just the way it is. I absolutely love it. I bet he'd be great to listen to the stories of things he's seen and done.
