Jim wanted to be able to stand up in his bedroom loft, so he commissioned Fred’s Tiny Houses to come up with a design that included a pop-up roof that can be elevated when his tiny house is parked; and lowered when it is being transported. Inspired by a tiny house that he saw in Byron Bay, Jim engaged a local registered builder to undertake this project on a 7.2 meter Flat Top Trailer.   In this interview Jim talks about: His decision to choose a tiny house on wheels as a single person.Off-grid living and the lack of bills.Internet access in a tiny house on wheels.How he found the property that he lives on. Working with a builder to make his tiny house idea into a reality.His removable awning and deck.
