Ep. 11 - Installing the sub floor & insulation on my tiny house - Tiny House Build Update 

Thanks for going into detail in regards to different insulation options while making it easy for non experts to understand 💚

I'm really enjoying this series, and love how much thought you're putting into the unique design and the challenges it's bringing 🙂

Fantastic, I have enjoyed this series a lot. Gives me a lot of ideas for my future trailer. This is the best part of any type of build, watching your ideas come together. 👍🏽👍🏽

Great series! Thanks!

This takes ages to build hmm.... loved the one you did before. You are my inspiration for creating a bicycle RV of 2m in length with 1.2m width.. with bed sleeping diagonally and a toilet/shower in it... roof solar panels just like you did... and having ................ anyways yes. Lots of stuff. But that's only if I'll get homeless ofc

Your videos are aewsome! I cant wait to start building my tiny house youv'e got the best all round building DIY info ⭐

Fantastic, loving your walk-through explainers, extremely informative for my tiny home build plans, thank you! Any recommendations on where to source that formaldehyde free OSB?

good work mate

Did you insulate under the underbed storage? Great engineering. Great series! (I love that you built your own crane.)

I'm thinking foil board for subfloor as well, maybe even for the walls(kind of depends, but right now I'm looking at a tradies ex work trailer that has some steel frame at about 1.5m high on the sides which means I'd probably build the frame up from there using additional SHS which wouldn't leave room for the more interesting eco/salvaged insulation I was considering unless I batten it out internally when I'd prefer the steel is within the insulation layer). I wonder if there's any value to insulating under the entire trailer so there's no heat transfer. I guess that makes it more vulnerable though, hmm. At one point I thought about fitting the trailer base with sandwich panel but you'd have to literally build it into your trailer for the intended outcome and while I think it makes sense structurally(you would basically slot the panels into U-section and H-beam aluminium and the whole assemblage becomes your upper frame) I'm not confident in achieving that or having it registered or any of the other complications involved. And as you mention our climate isn't likely to need such measures. You mention you want a hard-wood finish for your flooring; did you at all consider omitting the subfloor for those areas and fixing engineered flooring directly onto the trailer? In a regular house I wouldn't really think of that being worthwhile but when weight is a significant issue the lightest option is to go without and fix things accordingly. PS; I do think you should pick up some marine ply for the wet area but hopefully it's not a problem for you.

Awesome video mate, I still dont understand how you secured the insulation onto the trailer, you mentioned aluminium tape, is it just taped up to hold it? Is it strong enough with just tape?

Do you have a dry weight ideal goal? With the finish of the flooring will you be doing a Harwood veneer over the floors? Fiberglass for the shower?

So do you make these for people and if so how much?

Where are you located? I want someone to build me one of these.
