The Freedom and Flexibility of Tiny House Living
During the past couple of years, I’ve been watching Lazrin Schenck’s tiny house build take shape here in Vermont. Lazrin built her own tiny house, moved it three times, and recently purchased land to live on. Working at a job that has the flexibility to accommodate her projects, Lazrin has been constantly improving her surroundings in some pretty impressive ways. I hope you enjoy her perspective and persevering spirit as much as I do!

Living in a Pre-Fab Tiny House in Germany
After coming across photos of a tiny house being placed by a crane, I became fascinated with the owner's story. That owner is Sabine, also known as Bleeptrack, an artist and creative technologist who chronicles her art and tiny house experiences on the "Work in Progress" YouTube series. Bleeptrack’s home is a beautiful and modern-looking prefabricated home - something I think will gain popularity in the United States. In this conversation we talk about the regulations and realities of living tiny in Germany, Bleeptrack’s unique journey and insights into tiny living, and more.

Customer Reviews
Episode 252 “Want A Safe Tiny House Foundation”
Ethan, I appreciate that during the discussion you initiated the topic of Tiny House trailer insulation; an important topic that’s often over looked.
Thermal bridging, which can cause condensation and progress to the growth of mold, is a concern with some bumper-pull trailer models that have the subfloor between the wheel wells creating an uninsulated corner where the subfloor and walls meet.
Thank you
I appreciate your information.
I really enjoy your information and how to go about beginning and all the way to the end. I’m disabled but am going to start my own small house in my back yard.so I’ll be able to move it to my daughters house so she can look over me because of my health but I need my own space for me and my medical dogs!!!!!! I’m trying to save up for your book but on a fixed income it’s hard to get extra money for such things. I was a General contractor so I have lots of building supplies left over and I believe with everything I got I may be able to do the house completely if not I can probably purchase the rest!!!!!!!! I live at 10672 E. Oasis Dr. Mesa, Arizona 85208 so it doesn’t get very cold here but I did Air Conditioning & Heating and electrical for 30 years then I became a general contractor. I appreciate all your help in this building of my small house!!!!!!!!
Great guy, great show
Thank you Ethan 💐I’ve so been enjoying this show, want more, especially around the topic of affordable housing, not just for the poorest but for the rest of us who needs communuty and a place to call home 🙏🏽 This is important for everyone, but the maturing y is in dire need. And yeah, I believe in multi-generational communities 💗
