Off Grid Handmade House Truck

Would you believe this beautiful off grid tiny house truck is made up of 85% recycled materials and its built out of a 1969 Bedford truck.

Below is a short film by Happy Films in which Adam and Sian walk you through their creative off grid tiny home.

The basis for their tiny home stems from an old 1969 Bedford truck once used for furniture removals.

The kitchen cabinets are comprised of recycled wine crates. Even the hardwood floor is made from scrap end cuts. Left over “waste” from a wood mill. A tall cypress tree fell nearby and Adam reclaimed it to build their counter tops.

A friend had a surplus of old tin cladding that was sitting dormant in a compound. Any wooden boards you see were from old fencing collected over the period of a year before putting it to good use.

Their home, just like ours, is 100% off the grid. Power comes from four solar panels and a six battery bank. More than enough to power a 12-volt DC fridge, lights and water pump. We’re huge fans of solar power as you may already know!

A well placed power meter allows them to closely monitor their energy usage. A great idea for any solar home/cabin/truck. Adam and Sian’s off grid house truck is parked on a picturesque farm. The view is perfect and the privacy welcome. Especially with an outdoor shower!

WELCOME to The Off Grid Cabin!

WELCOME… pull up a stump!



People are surprised to learn that I’m a Canadian Military Air force Helicopter Pilot.



Not sure why… but they often go “Hmmmmmm… didn’t peg a military officer or a pilot to be an off the gridder.”



I’m also a Father, a Husband, a blogger, a YouTube semi-star, and an Off Grid Entrepreneur.



I love to share with people how our family has created an amazing, and abundant lifestyle living off grid, growing a highly lucrative business by sharing our story with others, and teaching people around the world to do the very same. Whether you’re here to learn how to build a cabin, discover what life off the grid is all about or forge your destiny as an entrepreneur... we’ve got you well taken care of.



We teach people not only how we’ve built our 24ft X 20ft solar powered off grid cabin, but also how anyone, anywhere in the world can also become a self-made entrepreneurial success story and ultimately grow a 5, 6, even 7 figure business. All while living off the grid. But you don’t have to.



We have been incredibly fortunate to have partnered with the billionaire philanthropist Elon Musk (CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity and PayPal) and also Jonathan Budd (Made $10M before he was 25) and Jim Bunch (generated $30M in 10 months) we are now happily in the $6 trillion dollar/ year business of solar energy.



EXACTLY in line with our off grid lifestyle!



We give people free and full access to all our building plans, budget, building materials list and offer you a complete step-by-step guide to building your own off grid home. Along the way we have grown our fan base into the tens of thousands and as a result our solar company called “Powur” has absolutely exploded.

Hidden Secrets For How To Build The Perfect Level Foundation

Hidden Secrets For How To Build The Perfect Level Foundation



http://theoffgridcabin.com/hidden-secrets-for-how-to-build-the-perfect-level-foundation/



The Foundation



The secret to building the perfect level foundation for a cabin or house is…

Make sure it’s LEVEL and SQUARE all the way around BEFORE you do ANY framing!



WARNING: We cannot emphasize how critical the foundation is.

If it’s of as much as 1/8th of an inch, by the time you get to the top of a framed wall that slight error could be compounded as much as 10 fold and the top of your walls may never line up no matter how hard you hit them with a sledge hammer. Everything begins with the foundation and ends with the last nail in the roof.



Do it right the first time. – Mike Holmes

The Kindling Cracker is the easiest and safest way to chop wood

The Kindling Cracker: Best Way To Split Wood!

--> http://wp.me/p6HSTs-Ke

With a Kindling Cracker all
you’ll ever need is another piece of wood or a hammer to strike the
wood you’re chopping. And since both are blunt instruments it’s a lot
safer for your fingers and makes this one of the safest ways in the
world for you to cut kindling. Plus, you’ll be so impressed with just how much
easier it is to cut kindling too.
