Hey, got a financial related question! If yer not comfortable answering it I completely understand, but how much would the shell/complete trailer without interior like furniture cost?
Its a decent motor, running a 4.2l 4cyl. They have a lot of torque and can pretty comfortably sit at about 90-100ks on flat. They don't like big hills though.
I was always told that steel studs cannot be used structurally, they are strictly for partitions and such. So do you think supporting the roof with them like you have is going to be ok long term?
This is a really helpful explanation, thanks. I'll have a look for it online 🙂
Assuming your 1300w air fryer will be running for approximately 15 minutes per use
Its 95% down from ATH. What a shitcoin
Underated comment
Is this in the literal sense using a houseboat on the ocean or does this mean something else? Haha
We build tiny homes in Mornington, Melbourne
First piece no
What are you using for thermal bridging?
Are you not worried about the gyb stuff cracking during transport/ movement? And it's a lot heavier than ply, isn't it?
ply looks cheap, feels cheap, has lower acoustic + R values and requires strapping for the joins. Which doesn't look or feel like a quality home.
also weight wise its about 10% heavier.
What body licenses plasters? Genuine question. I’ve been a tradie for 25yrs, never once heard of a licensed plasterer.
I have a cert 4 in it, definitely exists

The completed build not including the sofa bed or mattress rough costs are;
Metric and American R-values are in different units FYI. R6 anywhere else is about R34 in the USA, that's probably why you're talking past each other!
I had no idea! Thanks
Are you going to gypsum board the interior?
Yep, we include backing plates for all joins, use metal beads to reinforce the corners and we double tape the joins.
What gauge metal studs are you using? Why did you forgo the studs for the joists?
0.8mm gauge x 76mm.
Thats beautiful! what kind of vehicle is it?
It's a 1988 Toyota coaster :)
I've always been curious how those run. Engine seems small for such a big vehicle. Can they cruise on the freeways here?

Thanks, that’s a lot more than we were expecting but I appreciate you taking the time. What about just repairing spots where the mortar has gone?
I'm 90% sure that's a joke.
Very Nice! What is highest point on bad boy?
4250mm from the ground to the top

There are different specifications for partition and structural loads.
That is gorgeous
Why steel frames instead of wood? Not knocking it, just curious.
Steel is about 30-40% lighter, approximately the same price as timber.
Looking good! I guess I missed Update 2!! What’s the dimensions of your Tiny Home?
8m long X 2.4m wide X 4.3m tall
These are built around here from 2x6 wood. So crazy heavy. 6" i assume because of insulation requirements. So thats a road block?
75mm frame, rated 5 Inc interior insulation
Also yes the plans are set to above engineers specs, with inspections throughout the process.
Great info!
Renogy is pretty top tier, but also pricey, there's a brand we have here which is called lifepo4oz

Bought one to test for potential installs in our off grid systems we build into the tiny homes and campervans we build
Looks like you're in for a busy few months. Do you fabricate the trailers yourself too?
Nah we don't, we source that out at the moment as it's just faster and cheaper all around
Where are you building this? Home shop? Paying for the bay to build?
We have a factory where we run our business and build them :)
I make a lot of pur handrails. These are very nice.
Thanks! This is the first one I've made
Perforated?? Someone paid a pretty penny.
0.6mm 50% perforated.
Clean and simple! I like it! You guys on Instagram?
We do :) Terra Tiny Homes
Looks beautiful! I wouldn’t like having no access to the front seats though. Does make the living space super cozy.
The kitchen was designed to climb over to the front seats :)
