In this video I take you on a tour of the interior of this tiny house and explain a little bit more about its background and the design. Wisteria has a passive solar design, and incorporates natural and reclaimed material. It’s a quaint little rental at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage.
When I first moved to Dancing Rabbit I lived in a different tiny house, an even tinier house. Wisteria Lodge is only 240 sq ft, but it’s a nice little two story space and its passive solar design makes it easier to heat. Keeping with its name it does feature a wisteria vine growing on a trellis halfway up the south side. Check out this video to find out more interesting tidbits about the house and to hear the story of how it ended up at Dancing Rabbit.
I make a lot more progress on the mudroom in this video. It’s amazing how much of a difference giving form to walls can have on the impact of a structure. This video goes into more detail on how I turn reclaimed pallet wood into decorative siding.
At Dancing Rabbit we try to build our houses out of reclaimed and natural materials as much as we possibly can, so I’m siding my new mudroom with reclaimed pallet wood. We’re fortunate enough to have a guy nearby who reclaims good boards from deconstructed shipping pallets. I was able to get some of the better boards for doing the exterior siding on my new addition.
I attended the recent Mother Earth News Fair in Kansas, did a presentation about Dancing Rabbit, and got some new inspiration to do more with season extension. I also met Wranglerstar, another youtube producer with a very popular homesteading channel, who encouraged me to be more active with posting YouTube videos.
Continuing the tour of Kyle’s house, we check out his Seussian wall just built this year and made from earthen mortar and reclaimed bricks and lumber. This wall is just fun to look at, and I can’t imagine what it would be like to have it in your own home to look at every day. Continue reading
