No Upcycling Dream Too Big

Do you think you could build a home with $10,000 and second hand material? You can, at least that was Richard’s attitude when he embarked on the challenge when deciding to build the Terraform Tiny Home #3. The Terraform Three is a self sustaining 54-sq ft micro home and includes features such as a custom welded steel frame, full sized bed, indoor restroom, opening skylight and outdoor shower. It was constructed almost entirely out of second hand material including the house frame which was originally a boat trailer for $74.

When Richard recounts his experience building the tiny home, he is often reminded of the treasures he used to create the home from his local Habitat ReStore. For example, the stainless steel kitchen sink was purchased at ReStore for $20, the gold sink for $8 and most of the hardware.

In addition to traditional building materials and appliances, Richard upcycled several unexpected items when building his home. He created counters from wine corks and drawing book pages for flooring, giving the home a creative, special look that is truly unique to him.
