About the Tiny House
Being married in the tiny house and the reservations they had about living tiny
Meet Marek and Ko, a 28-year-old debt-free couple who has been living Tiny for 2.5 years. Over the first 2 years living in the Tiny Home they were able to pay off $125,000 worth of debt, which was ALL of their debt, including the house! They met in middle school at age 13 and are now going on 6 years of marriage! Today they enjoy sharing these journeys with their audience on YouTube for both inspiration and laughter.
Tiny House Decisions is the super helpful guidebook that I wrote 5 years ago to share all of the knowledge and decisions that I made to build my own tiny house, along with what I did right, what I did wrong, and how I would change things. The guidebook, now in its second edition, has been completely rewritten and expanded to reflect how tiny houses are being built today and it also includes several new tiny house stories from other tiny house dwellers. The guidebook has been expanded to include things like SIPs, metal framing, and different types of insulation, and I seriously think this is the most helpful thing you can buy if you are thinking about living in a tiny house. If you go through the guidebook from start to finish, you will have a solid plan for all the systems and everything else that’s going to go into your tiny house. The second edition has been a long time in the making and I’m really excited to share it with the world.
