A $1200 14' Tiny House made of pallet wood!

hey it's da coast of HGTV's tiny house builders in upcoming host of the series the micro men myself and my brother dust and the dietrichson brothers we have a workshop coming up fully hands-on meaning you actually get to build a design something you rarely get with other workshops in North Carolina regal Wood December second third fourth relax Shaq's calm hey what's up I'm deke from relax a calm here in Shrewsbury mess former home of the what is it the Edgewood Drive in ajmer ajmer yoga Edgemere sorry I'm already pissing off the locals here with Joseph on a little side trip to check out a tiny house he had been working on through quite some time that is definitely made of kick butt salvaged underline it a couple times salvaged we have some urban urban salvage wood to that we milled up right here in the sawmill so it's kind of a labor of love it took me a long time but I want to check this thing I want to show people the interior because you were saying a lot of it's done as well see shortly with pallet wood and I know all too well that pallet wood is a pain in the tuchus keister but and/or ass to work with oh yes that was for I think we'll go back and check the tape but the effect is great it looks awesome there's some mix-and-match plywood in here too but overall you kind of this chaotic eclectic rustic look which I do like if you look at these walls right here it's kind of scattered and I have it a little like staggered I went for that effect until I realized that it was just too difficult so especially when you do this not down to knit rough you hear when you start getting into that because I've done that before early on like nope doesn't work so in the back you'll see I got a little more uniform and just left some gaps where they need it today because I don't feel like notching it out gotcha then I use some old fence that was in the woods actually behind the sawmill for these walls right here if you can see yeah I got you like you'll picket fence don't pick a fence that I chopped up and threw in there what's the chain for when guests misbehave or what's up I have some cooking pots hanging there oh I got Chuck yeah I lived here full-time how long did you live here I lived here for seven months last year full-time alright yeah probably saved a heck of a lot of money doing it not only that but building it because you're using foul materials yeah it's a great little respite is like camping first for seven months yeah it's got a nice showered outside in the woods with a little like oh that's cool I like camping shower that I had overall how much time do you think you put into something like this well I made the mistake of building it during that winter that we had when it snowed like four feet yeah stormy yeah and so I had to take a couple months off but in total it probably took about five months to build okay getting the trailer to finishing nails and the shingles no in terms of people who there's a lot of people out there oh I'm gonna build with forklift pallet sits the the cure-all and my answer to building everything for nothing like I said it's time-consuming what's your method your approach to dismantling the pallets are you a claw hammer guy did you get a pallet Ripper sawzall what I would do is I would just take my skill son rip the ends off yeah anything the one in the middle and I were just paying that out the hammer so I'd only have like one or two nails to be nail and rock-rock it off the center strut yeah and I mean I lost a few inches but in the end it really wasn't worth the pain of trying to get all you know yeah time is money I guess I mean some of them I had to on these longer ones because I didn't really like frame it you know 16 on center on every yeah I kind of just put it where it looks good and yeah so I have some shorter some longer ones it looks like it looks beautiful but it is a pain oh yeah so if you want to save yourself a couple hundred bucks but then just sit around in the winter are critically crippled your hands and yeah yeah as in here like a heater just like frozen just breaking apart I never want to hear the word palate again um the shelves here that's some of the stuff I imagine you milled right on site yeah this is all milled I just wanna scrap back to some live event job this is actually part of an old Saab rusted yeah Blair that I threw up there very cool this is all milled this is milled from us tell us about the loft real quick to the loft is cozy for four - that's for sure I took I found an old futon on the side of the road I just took the mattress off of that yeah and that's what I slept on to keep it low so I had some more head space all these windows I made I'll show you on this one actually cuz the other ones are weathered so what I do is I drove a little tap and then I put a barbecue skewer in as law area and then this glass is from a hockey rink I worked at as a Zamboni driver I just said I took the Plexiglas and then these just push out on a pit like the hole and they closed down I usually just prop it up with like a piece of wood in the summer months but it's getting a little chilly here so ya know you have a little you have a little storage back here hidden behind the burlap yeah this is a guy Iona I know a guy who owns a coffee roaster so he hooked me up with these and I use an old hockey stick as my oh yeah as my little sliding and then I just I hung some stuff up in here but now it's just kind of a pile of stuff yeah more the more shelving here this is a huge shelf I mean it things like eight feet tall almost tell us about the bathroom - are the facilities very private I see yeah the only like one of the only things I really bought from Home Depot in this place beside its hardware was this toilet seat yeah so I have sawdust plenty of sawdust on there saman I have this bucket fill and then right into a five gallon Home Depot bucket and yeah this comes out okay rope handles I always thought of one day instead of using the perfection heater if I did stay here for a long time about getting a little wood-burning stove like permanently in there yeah maybe building an outhouse yeah separate yeah that's one thing that that's interesting a lot of people feel the need where you have to put the the bathroom inside the tiny house where space is at a premium already wine and have it outside if you're not like an Antarctica or anywhere we're gonna freeze your cojones off well the water that's definitely nice to come into here but yeah in the summer time keep the doors open doesn't smell too bad I am dia pretty frequently yeah cold matt cool and the sun this really does a good absorbing job so overall just a recap here most the stuff was free found recycled reused salvaged basically except for some hardware you said the toilet seat hard yeah half the shingles were free I just found on the side of the road someone's getting rid of on the floor I try to make like mock hardwood out of our clinics yeah I could have done something else wish I had but it was worth a shot I saw the video on the YouTube of someone I've seen a couple yeah they make it look so easy on you too huh yeah yeah you you YouTube people make it look easy alright yeah in total I think I spent about twelve hundred dollars to build this method in the trailer not bad so yeah twelve hundred bucks is a month's rent right there for most people and you had a place you lived in for seven months yeah and now you have a tiny house or at least like a getaway cabin wherever you want to call the end run yeah and the end house is like a little cozy Love Shack for the weekends there you go air B&B calm rental perhaps if it wasn't where it is doing like we sketched out of a sawmill under some power lines yeah yeah why am i glowing yeah yeah alright Jessica thanks man appreciate it appreciate it me so much I get on deke relax calm please subscribe if you feel so inclined and thank you
