Jenine wanted nothing more than to own a house in her hometown of Healdsburg, CA. The only problem? Healdsburg is a town where the median home price is over half a million dollars. When Jenine realized she didn't have the financial resources to afford a house there, she decided to put her incredible handiwork skills to the test and build one of her own.
For ideas and inspiration, Jenine searched through tiny-house blogs and a book given to her by a friend — the bestselling DIY book of 1950 entitled Your Dream Home: How to Build It for Less Than $3,500. When all was said and done, Jenine ended up spending less than $3,500 on her tiny home-on-wheels. She mostly used recycled materials recovered from the dump or found on Craigslist. In fact, one of the only things she paid for was the used trailer.
In this video, Jenine shows us everything from her reclaimed floors to her expandable roof. While many people can't imagine themselves ever living in a home like Jenine's, she finds living small helps her live simply and more comfortably.
