DREAM Tiny Home in Just 60 Days with NO Experience?

After weeks of intense hard work, we finally had a blank canvas to start making our dream tiny home a reality! This episode we finalize the design of our airstream home & walk you through the layout!

AND we attempt to build walls. Which end up being much more challenging than we anticipated.

It was our first time building a wall of any kind and turns out its a little trickier to do in an airstream trailer. The trailer was not level, and the walls were curved… So how the heck do you make walls and ensure they are level, plum square and true (more carpentry words I -Allison- have learned).

We work through these challenges and more this episode!

Any carpenters out there? Would you have built these differently? We’d love to hear from you in the comments!

On this week’s segment of Allison Is Handy, I take on fiberglassing! Nottt my favorite task (sanding the fiberglass afterwards was worse). You’ll probably get to relive this segment a few times over once we get working on our sailboat! haha

We know we know.. we should have done this beforrrrre we painted. Turns out we didn’t have perfect order of operations during the entire build but OH WELL. “You live you learn” – Alanis

Finally, who votes for more Airstream Afterdark?

Thanks for watching ya’ll!

Much love,
A&J

WHO WE ARE

We are a couple from opposite sides of the world making life together in a teeny-tiny 160 square feet.

Our current tiny home is a vintage Airstream trailer nestled in the woods here in the Canadian Pacific Northwest! We like to call her Streamy, our adventure basecamp!

Sounds dreamy right? Well let us tell you that it isn’t as easy as it looks & the process of building our dream tiny home on wheels (in just 60 days) was freaking hard!!!

When we’re not enduring these self-imposed suffer-fests (i.e. our DIY projects & long grueling hikes up mountainsides) you’ll find us out on the ocean, living and sailing around the PNW on our little sailboat. She’s a Catalina 30 and we’ve been enjoying the challenge of restoring her & teaching ourselves how to sail!

OUR STORY

I (Allison, the Newfie) met James (the Aussie) while working on a remote island 3 years ago.

A decade working in healthcare has helped us both to appreciate the preciousness of this one beautiful life we’ve been given.

Viewing TIME as our most valuable gift, we’ve been feeling an urgency in our lives to Live All Out!

We decided to make some BOLD moves, hit PAUSE on our conventional careers & work full time, turning our DREAMS into reality.

This is the beginning of our YouTube journey & over the next few weeks we will be sharing our first steps towards making full-time adventure possible.

We’ll be posting weekly videos that document our DIY projects, tiny-home living & our land & sea adventures.

It’s exciting to post our fifth episode and we hope you enjoy!
