Decisions, decisions, decisions… So many to make when building or buying a tiny house and living the tiny lifestyle. Where do you start?
Ethan Waldman is an experienced tiny houser from Burlington, Vermont in the United States. He’s also a tiny house author, speaker, and teacher. He built his own tiny house on wheels in 2012, and has been passionately helping future tiny house dwellers on their own journeys ever since.
Ethan’s guide, Tiny House Decisions, has helped thousands of readers answer the big questions about tiny houses and plan each system in their future home. He’s also the creator and host of the Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast, a show that brings you conversations with tiny house luminaries, builders, and DIYers. Ethan and his wife Ann live in their tiny house part-time in Northern Vermont.
Ethan’s podcast and book have been such big inspirations and valuable resources in my own tiny journey, and since there are so many things to consider and decisions to make, especially when starting out, I thought Ethan would be perfect to join us on the show to talk you through some of those key decisions to make when building a tiny house and living the tiny lifestyle.
In this conversation we talk about:
- Ethan’s tiny house building experiences
- A common misconception about living in a tiny house
- Ethan talks us through the different sections of his e-book, Tiny House Decisions, and how you can start to think about or consider different decisions along the way – big decisions, systems decisions, construction decisions and living the tiny life
- We touched on tiny trailers, tiny regulations and security for your tiny house… and more.
