Tiny houses are a good option for retirement, and for guesthouses. Charity organisations, sometimes, build them for the homeless and poor. These sleek houses are attractive and tiny, but also are built to have enough space for your bed and belongings. They basically use the same materials and techniques as regular homes and can last for a very long time. You can get a plan and build yourself a tiny house and the beautiful thing about that is, you can make it look the way you want. You can go ahead and add a towing kit, a projector, or even a solar panel if you desire so. But before you begin, you should note a few things;
- Choose a good site
- Ask others who live in tiny houses
- Check your budget
Materials
Using lightweight materials, or materials that lack strength is preferable, like the Balsa wood. It is most popularly used in the making of miniature houses. However, choices can be different, you may even decide to use different materials for different components of the house. Some of the materials include;
- Coroplast
- Sheet styrene
- Book board
- Basswood
- Luan plywood
It is up to you to choose which materials will be best for your miniature home since they all have different characteristics. If you want a structure that is light or something that you can disengage at any time, Plywood is the best option. You can also decide to make a less expensive home, and in that case, you can choose the cheapest materials. Just apply the right techniques, like using the right woods or materials for the interiors and the right one for the exteriors. The resins, acrylic and, clay for molding and gluing should be applied in the right places. If all these are a well-taken care of, your tiny home can keep you safe and warm.
