This 16-Year-Old Built A Tiny House On Wheels In His Parents Backyard

Building your own anything can be overwhelming at first. Most people have a fear of starting something new. They wonder if they’ll fail and focus on the problems they think they’ll face along the way.

With a little know-how learned in high school shop class and the encouragement of his family, Hay began building his own tiny home on wheels. He spent $2,000 (earned through his summer job) and bought a utility trailer on which to build the 130 square foot structure.

Hay has a lot of confidence and a level head at such a young age. I’m sure he will go on to do (more) amazing things in the future.
