Candid Tiny House
Candid Tiny House - The Advocacy Season
Discover the groundbreaking journey of tiny house living in Central Victoria. In Season 2, we explore how the Mount Alexander Shire removed barriers by allowing tiny houses on wheels without permits or time limits. Learn from key players, including Kaz Neilson and Councillor Rosie Annear, as we share strategies for advocating change in your own community. Join us on Fridays for inspiring episodes that empower you to drive transformation in housing laws.
SEASON 1: A series of honest interviews with people who have built a tiny house on a Fred's Tiny Houses Trailer in Australia after taking a Workshop or Online Course with Fred. Mine these interviews for tiny house building tips that are grounded in reality and experience. Hear stories of everything that it's taken to build each tiny house on wheels, including: - the financial costs & the savings; - the things they wish they knew before starting out on their tiny house building journey; - the injuries & the community support; - the setbacks & triumphs; and - the compromises & innovations.Instead of presenting a shiny tiny house ideal, we take a gritty and realistic look at the enormous feat it takes to build a tiny house on wheels. Each client sets out to make a home that is a successful road vehicle as well as being a comfortable place to live in year-round.See a tour or video component of each interview on the Fred's Tiny Houses You Tube channel.Enjoy photos of each episode and read a short article on each tiny house story on the Fred's Tiny Houses Blog.Be inspired by all the people who have walked the path before you.Access an informed community of conscientious tiny house builders and see the results of their efforts on Fred's Tiny Houses YouTube channel, then start your build well informed and better equipped for the journey ahead! Season 1 (E1/6) starts on Friday 24th September 2021.All the interviewees are in Australia and we focus exclusively on information that is relevant to Australia.
