What gage sheet metal?
What about building subfloor by adhering the sheet metal under the trailer and placing insulation between trailer frame, top with plastic sheet then screwing plywood on top of frame?
I think this would save greatly on weight and materials.
But do you screw in the bottom floor boards to the trailer
I wished i can do this :'(
Wood small house just don’t mix I’d rather build a bigger one
I am so glad that you created this video series. Thank you so much!
Hi. What is the weight of a Tiny House built without a trailer. Thank you.
Did you ever make a video on how to pick a trailer? I can’t find one!
Below, pbj417 wrote: “I am curious if the carriage bolts you used go through the 2×4 floor joists and steel framing of the trailer, or are they only attached to the wood decking that you left in place at 16″OC.EVERYONE making a video on doing this work leaves that out! The boards that come with the trailer frame are called DECK BOARDS, and they are already bolted to the metal frame (they’ve removed some, here). Then comes the thin sheet metal flashing. Next is the 2×4 framing called the SUBFLOOR (there’s really no floor, just the 2×4 crosspieces). The part that he simply ignored and jumped over was WHERE he installed the carriage bolts — you would have to measure and mark (probably on the metal flashing) where the metal crosspieces of the trailer are, so you wouldn’t have to be drilling through the metal as well as the wood. THIS FACT ESCAPES EVERY SINGLE MAN MAKING A VIDEO LIKE THIS. If Leah Bolden, a journeyman and certified building trades instructor you see on the See Jane Drill video series had explained all of this (https://www.youtube.com/user/seejanedrill/videos?disable_polymer=1), SHE wouldn’t be so sloppy in her explanations. . . . . When you get to 5:13/Step 5, he refers to the flat sheets of plywood as the SUBFLOOR — it’s not. When you go to the next video about building the walls, now he is referring to the plywood ‘subfloor’ as the ‘floor’. This is the floor that you will actually walk on, that is often covered by vinyl or carpeting. It’s called the FLOOR.
Allways a PJ
Those screws will eventually break should have nailed it i used to run a shop selling and fixing PJ trailers and just like every other trailer with 14000 pounds on it they flex PJs quality control is nuts they would send 70 percent of the trailers with at least something wrong with it. In my opinion buy a Lamar trailer its identical in build and strength but saves the pocket. I have one im in the process of
Finally after years of begging my wife to build a tiny house she breaks. Rent and mortgages are way to crazy and we Don’t need alot space right now. Can’t wait till she gets home and I can show her this video. Thanks so much you guys.

Hello nice video. How big is too big for length and width on tiny home?
Love how the tiny house came out! What size trailer did you use?
Where do you buy such large peices of sheet metal. I’ve only checked Lowe’s so far but they only sell tiny peices nothing this large!
I just want to know what trailer to get! they never mentioned it in later videos. So if you are reading this please help!
I thought you where going to say bush ( for bathroom )
Please bore me with how to select a trailer 😀
I was wondering , could you line the underneath the trailer frame with sheet metal, attach it to the cross beams, insulate in between the trailer cross members then bolt plywood on top of it. I’d have a vapour barrier in there as well. At this point you’d have a surface to attach your walls too. It would reduce weight and height. Let me know what you think . Ive drawn pictures as well to clarify.
thank uuuuuuuuuu! I am gonna build mine.
could just add heat to a composting toilet, and why not put the metal under the trailer deck boards to keep them from rotting..
Why not use steel studs to reduce weight?
does anyone have any specs on the sheet metal they used
I find this so facing!
tell us how to find a trailer!
Building a floor frame atop a floor frame… utter madness!. I have a feeling social media is infecting peoples brains (what little there is left)!!!
You’ve helped “millions”? really??
Good info..thanks…
Do you need any building codes to do that
hey anna and the luckiest male on da planet! lol, just one question, if the timbers are under the trailer would they not be exposed to the elements, why not have the trailer frame made as a bund {irish for containment }i think lol and have the trailer completely separate from the house timbers ,, just think Anna, its like someone getting pulled along a dirt road in a bath with holes in it, yer gonna get a wet ass an boggin. so if the trailer was like a small bath so to speak, picture the scene, build the house inside the bath. that way the bath wont leak, ie cause damp and mold by the way I love what you both are doing . by the way in a time served joiner/bricklayer and steel fabricator, keep up the posts as every day is a school day in my book. if theres a need for experienced tradesmen in your neck of the woods i would jump at the chance..?
whoops anna just saw your next video there , is there an imogi for a clapping hand, if not i wis there was x i stand corrected !
would still love to join your crew as i love the tiny house concept, cant get enough of it . i travel all the time and would love to lay down some roots over there and what better way than to work for someone that knows what they are doing.. im a time served joiner , 10 years as a bricklayer and 5 years as a steel fabricator. I have a wide range of experience in metal and wood technics plus can do almost anything apart from flying to the moon lol i reckon i would be a BIG asset to your tinyhouse experience.!!
I vote yes on making a video about how to select a trailer. Please please please! I love your shows.
Is this flooring and trailer combo strong enough to support 2 large fishtanks?
How often did you put a carriage bolt?
I vote yes for how to select a trailer
Is there a video on choosing a trailer. Would love to know how to find one. Have been wanting to do this for a while but dont really know what type of trailer to start with
