Ep 7. Building Mini In Mississippi

Building Mini In Mississippi is the seventh episode of Tiny House Nation's sixth season. In this episode, the co-hosts of Tiny House Nation - John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin - travel to Jackson, Mississippi, to help a pair of newlyweds build a tiny house on their family's multi-acre property. The couple, Tyler and Hayley, had been married for just a year but had already lived in multiple places, including a Tiny House community. However, they had always dreamed of having their own tiny house, and the family property was the perfect location for them to make that dream a reality.

Tyler and Hayley had big plans for their tiny house, which they hoped could double as a guesthouse when necessary for visiting family and friends. Their wish list included a spacious living area, a full kitchen, an office space, a separate bedroom, and a bathroom with all the necessary amenities. Their budget was also relatively modest, which meant that John and Zack had to get creative to make their big plans fit within a tiny house's limited square footage.

The episode begins with the co-hosts meeting Tyler and Hayley and learning more about their vision for the tiny house. They quickly realize that the couple has done their homework and has a clear idea of what they want. However, they also know that some compromises will have to be made to fit everything into a tiny house. The co-hosts first take a look at the foundation, which had already been laid for the tiny house. They quickly realize that it's smaller than they had anticipated, which means they'll have to be especially careful when designing the floor plan to make the most of the space.

Over the course of the episode, John and Zack work closely with Tyler and Hayley to design and build their dream tiny house. They start with the floor plan, trying out various configurations until they settle on one that maximizes the available space while still satisfying all of the couple's requirements. They then move on to the materials and finishes, picking out everything from the siding to the flooring to ensure that the tiny house is both beautiful and functional.

As usual, there are a few surprises and challenges along the way. For example, the team discovers that they'll have to work around a large tree that's in the middle of where they planned to put the tiny house. They also realize that they'll need to be creative when it comes to storage because there isn't much room for closets or cabinets. But John and Zack are nimble problem-solvers, and they always find a way to make things work.

Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the progress on the tiny house as it comes together piece by piece. They also get to know Tyler and Hayley better and learn about their journey to the tiny house lifestyle. Along the way, there are plenty of moments of humor and heartwarming interaction between the couple, the co-hosts, and the crew.

By the end of the episode, viewers get to see the finished product: a beautiful, functional, and fully customized tiny house that exceeds Tyler and Hayley's expectations. From the bright and open living area to the cozy and comfortable bedroom to the fully equipped kitchen, every inch of the tiny house has been designed and built with care. And, despite some initial doubts about whether everything would fit, John and Zack have managed to make it all work.

Overall, Building Mini In Mississippi is an engaging and heartwarming episode of Tiny House Nation that gives viewers a glimpse into the tiny house lifestyle and the camaraderie that arises when working on a creative project together.
