Young Man Builds Tiny House for Only $8,000 

"Instead of trying to make more money, I'm learning to live with less and therefore I feel like I'm gaining more." Well said. Amazing home too - rustic, modern and cozy - I didn't expect that. Great job!

"I'm learning to live with less and therefore I feel like I'm gaining more." This! ❤️

“Change your life, not your income.” Perfect. ❤️

He's a person who actually gives me hope for the world, leading by example. Thank you.

"Don't get ahead of yourself." Words to live by.

This young person is definitely got his priorities in order and values and a lot more he will go far

He’s very together, way beyond his years in this day and age. Power to you and enjoy your life 👍

This kid has it figured out. Most people never do.

Golfing inside the tiny, legendary. Really good to hear someone say, "Seperate what you need from what you want", the absolute truth of life. Got a good head on his shoulders.

I stayed in a tiny house for the first time yesterday and it made me realize that I don't need a 3200 sq ft house. 300 sq ft is more than enough to live comfortably. A tiny house will not only change your life, it will change your mindset. Beautiful moment.

I was very impressed. He is obviously an intelligent young man, wise beyond his years. Not everyone dreams of being a doctor, lawyer or CEO. Living a happy, successful life is not measured with income but, satisfaction and fulfillment...whatever that means to the individual.☮️

What a nice, mature, talented and discerning young man. What a nice home he has built! 🌿🌱🍃🌾

Love this guys vibe. He certainly has it figured out.

Amazing home, and an amazing young man. Love how he reused so much from the old camper, and kept the memories going forward. And he's so smart with his thinking. If I have something I haven't seen, or used in a year...........Why do I still need it??? Bought my current home 11 years ago, and still have boxes unpacked!!!!! Yup, think this young man knows more that this old one does. Spring's coming. Think it's time to do some cleaning..............

This BY FAR is the BEST tiny house I've seen. He actually explained his HOME and not just features. I'm truly inspired to do this!

How refreshing to hear and see such a wise clean cut man at such a young age! All I kept doing through the entire video was listening to his words, wisdom and his outlook in life to know and do better. I applaud this young man and his family behind his upbringing!! The future holds so much for you. God bless you.

Absolutely love this build. This young man has got his life together. I’m 56 and just getting to the minimal mindset stage. I don’t use so many things I thought I needed. Working thru it now. Best of luck to this young man. Love the decor and reuse of wood and supplies.

You’re such a wise young man. You’re a great example for others your age , as well as some adults. I pray that God’s richest blessings are upon you and your life. I truly enjoyed your video. 💕🙏🏼

Oh wow this young man denotes wisdom & maturity beyond his age ❤ Well-done and wish you all the best! Simple yet beautiful home.

Much respect to this man for building his home without a nail gun. Itakes his home even more awesome. And it looks so cozy!

Thanks for the tour. That you saved so much of your grandparents is so sweet. I loved your home. It fits you. I also like your comments at the end. Good luck.

Wow! This is a beautiful build. This young man is definitely wise beyond his years & has figured out what's truly important in life.

This guy really made a fantastic Tiny House. I love how almost everything was made or put together from reclaimed materials. Not only does it keep costs down but it forces you to be more creative. The whole place was well thought out and looks very comfortable. I love it!

This young man is,an old soul. Thank you Dylan. Good advice to scale down, stop buying things you don't need

Wow, I was so moved by his insightful words. “Concentrate on more of what you need than what you want, and don’t get ahead if you’re energy.” He also did an amazing job with the tiny house and keeping some of the campers originals. Love it. Very inspiring

Ryan you are one of the smartest young old souls I've ever seen! What an absolutely awesome living space and I love how you recycled and saved money all along the way. Wish I knew someone like you near me I would hire you in a heartbeat! You are truly an inspiration!

Homeboy re used almost everything from the original prowler. Super impressive. Love the sentiment and resourcefulness. Big respect.

A young man with beautiful mind. Highly organized and responsible. Lucky parents having this kind of kid. Lucky your future wife would be.

The dog with folded ears is my most favorite dig for me. 🥰😍💕❤️♥️

"Don't get ahead of your own energy..." perfectly put. And what a gorgeous house!

A fine example of a very educated well raised young man!

That was just awesome.. I think he's a genious of simplicity. I love his attitude.

Since less truly is more, then this tiny house is just huge - in so many different ways that matter.

That last quote from the guy was amazing, wow. Very much worth watching

This guy is wise beyond his years. I like the simplicity of his home, the wood pellet on the ceiling creates a lot of texture and interest. The mini lofts over the sofa are original, I didn't see something like them in other tiny. The sofa itself is simple practical and can be modified at will.

I like the part where he gives his friends baby plants

The idea was an AFFORDABLE housing option for us working poor and the homeless lucky enough to have one, not something that homebuilders would make for 60K plus! 😊👍🏻

ok, i'm inlove. I love how he thinks and I think other than his amazinf house, he also have a beautiful mind

A smile from beginning to end, TFS

I don’t really watch a lot of the smaller tiny homes because I go away disappointed. I am shocked at this one, it’s super nice and seems so much bigger. Great job!

This is how it always was and should still be! Humanity has always built it's own dwellings. Down with mass manufactured homes that no one can really afford! Beautiful work sir!!!!!

I come back to this video soooo often. Such a great person, good energy and his bit’s of advise are so on point and inspiring. Being in the midst of my own build right now and he is hands down one of the biggest influences on my decision to go tiny. Heck after a full year of back breaking work and frustration I come back to this video to remind myself of why I’m doing it and to give me the drive to keep going. I love the simplicity of the reasoning’s and minimalistic way of solving some of the problems that pop up. He’s got the knack for architecture and design, Id say it comes from being a true artist. I love his art work by the way, I peeped your painting’s my guy, very nice very nice 👍🏻. Thank you for sharing 🙏 and also being so influential to those of us who are looking into the life. ✌🏻🤘🏻

Love the upcycling!

Hello from Oklahoma. I just subscribed to your channel. Hats off to you for the low cost of the build and the nostalgic bent to it. Your tiny home is lovely and has so much personality.

This is the exact thing I've been preaching to my boys. The 20 y.o. tried doing the apartment thing. Didn't like the rent. Now he's moved back into our guest suite and we are planning the build of his (not quite tiny) house on our 20 acres. I believe I've got a convert! 👍 😉

Great job. I wish all younger people would follow your example People work two jobs to birth children they don't raise, buy homes they rarely get to enjoy, dress in name brand clothes, develop health issues from working 80 hr work weeks and drive cars to impress everybody Meanwhile they ve lost everything that matters.... Family, children friends, peace of mind and health are gone You ve done a great job. Keep up the good work 🥰

What a humble young man with amazing words. I appreciate learning how every item has meaning.

Genius. "If you can't go out, you gotta go up." Love it all.

Young man is a low key genius. Makes me happy.

im impresed by your well thoughtout upcyling and supporting the restore, a great resourse,with a great cause to help out families get into home ownership with no interest payments. i like how you used pallet wood etc to create a pleasing rustic vibe.and how you honored your families trailer.it made me want to go diging around in my long gone dear fathers garage to find all the cool things i can reuse. the end result is beautiful!

I love this guy - his attitude is spot on!!!! “Don’t get ahead of your own energy.”

Young man, its sounds like you are doing so many things right! You will do well, no matter what path you choose in life. So wise and resourceful for your years! Beautiful job on your home!

I love all of the sentimental elements of this build. The repurposed items have so many fond memories. Beautifully done!!

FINALLY!!! Someone who thinks practical!! Using materials that make sense!! Most tiny homes are so expensive.

Awesome, this is how it's done! Practical, lots of recycled/repurposed materials, and learning as you go. This is truly impressive. Amazing work by this guy!

So proud of him. Helping my granddaughter do the same thing. Blessings

Such a humble young man. I'm really proud of you. May God's blessings continue to enfold you.

Vanessa Henry 1 second ago I have been looking at Condos, Cottage homes and well tiny houses myself! I love what another woman had said years ago on one of Dylans videos: Make a list of the big items you want to keep! Do not add more - unless you are replacing, or paring downsizes - then after you have done all of that - you then know what you need! She was in a VAN - but the same can go for something you built like this! THIS is one of the best homemade tiny homes I have seen!

really well thought out design!

❤️ He seems 2 be such a beautiful soul! Loving this tiny house and the cost, wow! He did a phenomenal job.

Keep it up young man, your parents must be very pleased with you. Well done!

Very nice! You are in control of your own existence, which is as much as anyone can hope to do. Thanks for this video.

That young man answered several of my unanswered questions and helped to re motivate me!

Nice little tiny house... Very personal design...love the viney plants!! 🤗

Agree with you 💯% . The less we have the happier we are🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍💃💃💃💃

Ur just way too sweet 4words! U remind me of a beautiful soul,met yesterday in a gas station. Music playin,started swayin,b4 we knew it whole place was jiving! People smiling, workers laughing. Nothing better,,harmony of people 2gether! Peace, keep on doin ur realness! Ur Insta crumb site pics r WOW!

This young-man is a blessing! Such wisdom at a young age... very impressive 👏 👍 Thank u for u'r humility ❤👍

Confortable and complete in a few meters. Congratulations! thank you for sharing.

Where did he get this maturity! Geez, he is wonderful! Praise God!

This man is very intelligent and inspiring. Awesome young man. Thanks for the update.

There's a ton of videos like this, but this one is the most informative on how to reclaim a simple camper trailer into a home. Bless you and the host

Wow this kid built a tiny home, he snowboarded professionally, he is an artist, he likes the grateful Dead! this is a young man after my own heart, the son I never had. Lol. Awesome

What a great guy, this Ryan West. Just casually talking, he kept coming out with insightful, thought-provoking words we can all live by! I wish him well. Thanks for the upload, FLORB

Super project! I love how well organized you are. Thanks for sharing!

This guy is wise beyond his years. I love his attitude and how laid back he is. I'm 54 and I think I could live there and not change a thing! It's just perfection!

Your positive energy, attitude and outlook in life are equally remarkable in comparison to your phenomenal tiny home!

Simple and perfect for a fella and his companion. 'Separate what you want from what you need, then you can make your life fall into place.' This young man seems to have his head in a good place. Thanks for the tour and life lesson. At 63 years old I'm still trying to learn what this young fella already has figured out. Now all he needs is to get a piece of property if he hasn't already got some. Having your own land can bring a sense of stability and freedom sought by many and so very precious to obtaining that ever elusive piece of mind and sense of being self fulfilled. Best wishes and congrats.

Now this is what I think tiny is all about!!! Thank you for this video.

Love his philosophy, I live a similar way. You don’t need ‘stuff’, ‘stuff’ doesn’t make you happy, living your life with less clutter, more time to learn hobbies, see friends and travel brings happiness. Working in sync with nature and not harming it makes life more fulfilling.

It's as clear as the Sun that you've not only been brought up in a positive , helpful way , you've taken it to another level and that is you alone, so congrats my man... and keep pushing.

This tiny home is adorable. I luv it. I like the dog as well. 🙂 I think this kid did an excellent job! I want 2 cry, because I want 1 4 my son & myself. It's always been a dream. Wonderful.

Solid build. Nice job and good attitude.

Amazing inside layout!! ☝️

Soooo awesome!! Thank you for sharing this.

This kid had a great take on life and very cool build/ design skills! I do not recommend playing golf in a tiny home, but hey to each his own.

Wow so impressed with him, his parents must be so proud!!! Great job!!

So many young folks with great priorities regarding simplicity and anti-consumerism. And his tiny house is lovely!

V amazing that at such young age u know the value of contented life. God bless u with good health happiness n loooooooooong life

A very impressive young man! BEAUTIFUL job!

Wise beyond your years. So awesome. Loved your style. Thank you for sharing.

Change your lifestyle, not your income. LOVVVVE the use of the corner shelving!

Young man with a good head on his shoulders!! Comfortable home for him and the pet!!

what a pleasure it was meeting this fine young man! greetings from australia 🇦🇺

Wisdom is rare. Most people use only intellect the lower carnal mind. Wisdom is the higher mind. The spiritual mind. This young man is awakening.

Love this Home & His lifestyle 😊❤️🤙🏾

Great and beautiful tiny home! Congratulations!

The nyquil bottles next to the alcohol in the bar XD

simplicity,nice work.Great outlook on life.

I've watched a lot of tiny house vids, but this one is so inspiring. I've been getting rid of so much stuff in my house. I live by that philosophy............ "if you haven't used it in a year." Cool.

I'm currently in the process of selling my house and finalizing a divorce. Between the 9:20 - 9:33 really resonated with me. I know a few people who would benefit from that way of thinking. (including myself) Great vid, attitude, and tiny home!
