Nice work! I'm building a house myself also at the moment. Really rewarding process. It's so nice to see your creation taking shape in days. Internals (water, electricity and finishing) goes a lot slower though...
This is the best video where you recognize, how to build a small scandinavian woodhouse. A also plan to Build a garden house this style. With this video, many questions I had are now answered.
It's faster and easier when you don't have to work with plumbing or electrical and venting. You can just bust the project out without caring about windows, bathroom, appliances, kitchen, fireplace or heating, ventilation etc. Greatly reduces the time needed to finish the project if you can deal with having a 'house' that has nothing a real house would have. This here is a cabin or glorified shed.
Finally a diy tiny build video without a dude showing up with 150.000€ worth of equipement. Simple effective and quite motivating to watch. Good job mate, and thanks!
I use metal studs from recycled iron and glue and screws, never nails or the gun for it ofcorse. Much lighter, much stronger and cheaper. ( wood, glue, metal studs .... keeps it tougheter ? YEP, even without screws. I use also wood and metalstuds ans rivets ) My son is a carpenter , he repaird even his compressor with a wooden wheel. High time that all those builders of tiny houses start to think outside the box and that wood is verry expensive where it is not needed. Metal studs are straight, not all wood is or stay's like that after putting it. I build at the moment on a semi trailer and the whole construction is also the whole strong box for the road, not only the chassis. Then one is nothing with a nailgun. Much lighter and much work and a good understanding of what trailers need for safety on the road, that's not always given to carpenters..... :-) This man is a good carpenter, no question about that, and the money and the weight is not his problem, and the trees, they will keep on growing let's hope.....
Amazing work Dieter, it's a pleasure to watch your videos! For those of us who want to give it a go, could you tell us the dimensions of the wood used for the base frame and wall frames? Thank you!
I often see minimalistic structural approach in N. American stick framing, and this is quite opposite (in particular with foundation overkill). In my opinion, happy spot is somewhere in the middle, at least when it comes to tiny house projects, natural resources can be preserved a bit :). Great craftsmanship non the less!
The good thing about overbuilding is that you won't need to replace or repair it as quickly. :) So maybe in the long term we are saving materials by building a heavier house? I don't know, but something to ponder.
Nice work. What are the layers of the roof exactly? Trying to find a solution for my crying metal roof (the angle is too low to run the drops :( )... Thanks!
Love your video. I am planning to build one even I am the first time builder. Could you tell me what kind lumber did you use in video? What is that black steel base? Thank you very much!
It looks like he used a similar product to ThermoPly Structural Sheathing. I learned about that today, it's basically compressed cardboard that's been treated to be water and air resistance and meets building codes.
great beautiful, minimal and effective work overthere! anybody of you guys know what's exactly that dark grey/black material he 's covering the frame with @14:32? thanks!
Hi. I wonder if you could make a video on building a tiny house (40-50sqm??) that would pass norwegian laws on permanent house (tek17 or tek10) maybe?? That would be awesome. Tusen takk.
There will be open gaps to this space and this empty space between windproofing and roof works as a ventilation so that no air stands under roof. If there would be any outlets through the roof they must be well insulated throughout this empty space until the roof to prevent any condensation.
I am liking that you didn't over dub with music. Wondering if it wouldn't have been easier to cover the lower frame with some sort of sheeting like plywood then build the top frame on top?
@Dieter Schneider: Thanks for the video. My first view on your channel;-) YT brought me here. Could you please tell me, how many squaremeteres this tiny house has? And did you do this before, or is this you first tiny house build? Thanks!
10:50 I was thinking why is that right corner plank turned 90 degree... that shading really messed up with my vision and perspective, wow. Nice build, lots of useful things! Why you went with asfaltplate rather than plywood or osb, any important advantages over them with it?
Your crew needs more electrical activity in their brain so they can work faster and more efficiently. One L-Theanine Supplement (200 mg) & one Green Coffee Bean Supplement (450mg), break the capsules in a small amount of water in a container with a lid, shake & drink). Your crew will move around like the Energizer bunny. L-theanine and caffeine combination improved both speed and accuracy of performance. You can google this. I'm a neuroscience geek, that's into biohacking (using supplements to enhance performance). I do this mixture twice a day. Walgreen had a BOGO, so I went to all the stores in my area and bought all the L-Theanine I could find in preparation for my tiny house build so I'll have enough energy to do the build.
It is Hunton wood fiber board impregnated with asfalt. Acts as windstopper, insulates and absorbes moisture to a certain degree. Perfect in harsh Norwegian climate.
Hi really enjoyed youre video! I have a question and hoping would share your knowlegde. I'm browsing for a cheap and effecient solution for the undercarrige of my Tiny House and I'm very inspired by yours. The boards holding your insulation, will they survive the war against humidity and rodents:) ? best regards from rainy DK
Hi Dieter, this looks great! Do you perhaps have blueprints, bill of materials and lumber dimensions? I plan on doing this for myself, but i see some materials here i haven't come across yet. I think i have almost all the tools necessary. Most of the blueprints are american, and the lumber dimensions they use are not available in my country. The reading materials for such construction are also virtually non-existent in my country. For example, I have no idea what kind of particle board you used for base, bellow glass wool insulation. Things like that. Keep up the good work!
Good work! Btw what is that dark gray material you've used to cover the walls at around 14:35? I'm planning a similar build and I feel torn as I can't decide what materials to use to make it properly insulated and to prevent condensation, etc.
It's wood fiber boards with a thin bitumen layer. Prevent water from getting in, but let the moisture out of the construction. These are great to prevent condensation, and they make the construction more stable.
I would recommend looking at the New Zealand building code E2. Down load the PDF. I shows how to build to ultra safe water proof methods. It is a really good document. Eg for this build I would have weatherboads on 20 mm drained cavity. Enjoy.
