Flat Pack / Fold out Tiny House on a box trailer. Like a hybrid Cupboard House / Tiny House / Alejandro Aravena incremental type thing. I saw all the Tiny Houses for sale at the expo on the weekend and they were mostly all plasterboard and plastic (not all of them) and though I couldn't see the prices I'm sure they were expensive. Both of which seem to be against what building or buying a Tiny House is all about. I thought maybe I can design something on a 8x5 foot trailer that has all the important parts - the kitchen, bathroom and bed - which you then fold out floors for some living space that can be built on when you get it wherever you're going. There'd probably be cooler designs out there, but this is something low tech I think I could do. All the weight would be on the bottom so it wouldn't tip over right? 700kg I think they can carry. #tinyhouse #cheap #recycle #green #building #fun #renovation #community #woodwork #craft

Moved the Tiny house for a little open day tomorrow. Come and have a look. Also see where the next Tiny House course is going to run in July and maybe itl motivate you to sign up. And then also to purchase the one you build?? I bought this after the last course at auction for $22000 as I was the inly bidder, which after doing some calcs we realised wasn't paying for any labour just materials. It might start at a touch more this year but still there's a high chance you could get one cheap if you wanted. Then you could do what I've been doing this year and fit out the inside. Which has been great. If you've got a driveway or some space on the street. 7 Prospect Road Summer Hill. https://bower.org.au/learn/tiny-house-program/ @thebower #summerhill #innerwest #recycling #tinyhouse #fun

Don't think I've done dovetails since high school!! The good thing about working with old materials is that you can drill holes in the wrong spot or do bad joints but it all adds to the charm. Because I had to remove the drawer for the fridge I cut
Don't think I've done dovetails since high school!! The good thing about working with old materials is that you can drill holes in the wrong spot or do bad joints but it all adds to the charm. Because I had to remove the drawer for the fridge I cut it down to fit its new little square hole. #recycle #furniture #crafty #tinyhouse #innerwest #marrickville #recycle
Chopped up a normal sized door I found, did a bit of woodworking and pieced it back together to make these sliding doors on the cabinet above the bench. Thought the slatted fronts match the weather boardy cladding inside a bit. #Tinyhouse #building

Getting into the technical stuff that takes me a bit to understand. Wiring a 2 way light with nice Bakelite switches. Made a little light shade though but that also that needs a bit of work. #tinyhouse #creative #fun #building #art #innerwest

Exciting day today put in the sink and did some tiling. My first attempt at cutting and bending a sink I found on the street to make it fit didn't end too well. The second sink (that I got for $1) however. There's also a pic of a hanging light I put

Connecting gaps between furniture with shelving and fold out table. Lots of scrapy bits of wood that will look better once sanded and finished. Makerspace closed down so I'm checking dimensions in the house, take the bits home to cut on my driveway

Old But Still Good works in close consultation with home owners & builders throughout the design and pre construction process in the sourcing of unique items for implementation into the design.

 

Old But Still Good has experience working with and sourcing recycled materials from various centres around Sydney.

Reused materials can save you money, will reduce the strain on resources and your carbon footprint. The process of searching and finding what is available also facilitates results that are unplanned and entirely unique. Simply installing reused windows and doors are an easy way to provide unique quality to your project, particularly in homes unsuited to contemporary lines & finishes. This can be expanded to reused finishes, fittings and fixtures.

“Whether you're planning to build or renovate, whether you live in an apartment or a house, Sustainable House is the essential guide to help you achieve an environmentally friendly home. It includes advice on converting your kitchen, bathroom, water supply, energy, waste system and garden, as well as tips for working with councils, builders and engineers, and the costs and benefits associated with making your home sustainable. First published in 1998, this long-awaited second edition covers the revolutions that have since occurred in sustainable housing, and, critically, includes the author's assessment on technologies and materials used in his own ground-breaking Sustainable House 14 years after installation. Michael Mobbs tells you what pitfalls to look out for and how to choose the best systems, products and suppliers.”
