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.
