- April 27, 2015
In episode 9 of Tiny House Nation's second season, hosts John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin take on a unique project - building a tiny house for a family of six! The family, made up of parents Todd and Renee and their four young kids, is currently living in a cramped RV and dreams of a more permanent and spacious home.
John and Zack set out to design a tiny house that will not only accommodate the family's needs but also allow for practical living and plenty of storage. The team decides to build a 400 square foot tiny house, with a lofted master bedroom and separate sleeping quarters for the kids. The house will also feature a full kitchen, a bathroom with a bathtub for the kids, and a designated play area.
As always, the design and build process is not without its challenges. The tiny house is being built on a sloped piece of land, making it difficult to ensure the house is level and secure. Additionally, with a family of six, the team must carefully plan and design for storage solutions to ensure everyone's belongings will fit.
The episode showcases the entire build process, from the initial planning stages to the finishing touches. Todd and Renee are involved every step of the way, providing input and feedback on the design and layout. The kids even get into the action, helping out with painting and decorating.
Throughout the episode, John and Zack emphasize the benefits of tiny house living and how it can improve family life. They discuss the importance of intentionally designing a space that meets the specific needs of the family, rather than simply trying to cram as much as possible into a small area.
As the build nears completion, Todd and Renee express their excitement and gratitude. They are thrilled to finally have a permanent and comfortable home for their family. The final product is a beautiful and practical tiny house that meets all of the family's needs while remaining true to the principles of tiny house living.
Overall, episode 9 of Tiny House Nation's second season is a heartwarming and inspiring look at the power of intentional design and the benefits of tiny house living.
