    if someone doesn’t know what sketchup is or a tiny house I wouldn’t waste everyones time explaining that, there’s enough time wasted on dumb people

    I have to say it has been more entertaining reading the comments here than watching the video. Good luck to everyone wih sketch up & there tiny home. FYI you may have to beef up the trailer framing to carry the load.

    Hey Micheal. I purchased a few th plans which are great. Do you do sketch up models using SIP (structural insulation panels?) My panels are 2.4×1.2 metre rectangles. Thanks

    SketchUp is great if you’re going to build a tiny house yourself from the barebone. Im not a carpenter. I just want to design a tiny house, not build it.

    Great video….. But….. I guess what you could have said to the viewers is…. I know the foundations to build a tiny home, very technical build knowledge here, most people won’t have knowledge of struts, pins, supports, beams, foundations etc… This video doesn’t explain either side, the ‘sketch up how’ to and the ‘how to build a solid tiny home in detail’ side. It’s pretty to watch but you are left at square 1.

    Maybe slow it down and go into detail more, it’s a great video series but I don’t know any more about sketch up that i did before, still good to see all the foundations being met..

    Well done though, great series none the less..

    I’m just discovering this tutorial now and have to say THANK YOU for this extremely informative and easy to follow instruction. I’ve lost my job, my house, and many other things and am now embarking on designing and building a tiny home on a very tight budget with little to no knowledge about what’s involved. You have now idea how helpful your contribution is to me. I’m so grateful for this. Thank you again. Also, your presentation is delightful – I could listen to you all day : ) – Sharlene
