With a total cost of under $7,000, it might just be among the cheapest builds. Acorn is the name of Jack McKenna’s home, one of the smallest tiny houses we’ve covered over the years. The tiny house sits on an old double-axle tractor trailer he bought used for some $70 5 meters in total length and the standard 2.4 meters in width.

This weeks episode is my absolute favourite kind. An innovative tiny house design which has been DIY built and for a budget which is truly hard to believe!

Over the past years we have seen the cost of building sore to new heights and I never thought I’d see another tiny home built for a budget even close to this! In a world where now even the majority of DIY projects can be accompanied by some huge budgets, it’s amazing to know that this is still possible!

The interior layout is 12 square meters (129 square feet), so it’s small even by tiny house standards. Using salvaged material may be one way to keep costs down, but it’s also a sure way of extending a project beyond acceptable timelines because materials aren’t readily available.
Jack’s project was made possible by a tremendous amount of hard work though. Doing the build over a period of three years gave him a lot of time to cleverly source materials and chip away at the project. Still, he is now only 21 years old and has his very own tiny home! What an accomplishment! We hope you enjoy this episode!
