Sixteen-year-old tiny house builder
Tiny homes are becoming more and more popular these days. They are usually between 36 m2 and 7m2, and they are often on four wheels so you can go to different places. They are very simple structures, they are cheap and they are often ecological. Young people seem to love tiny homes, and so does Amanda Richards, a seventeen-year-old student from San Diego, USA. She loves reading and finding out about them on the Internet, she loves photographing them and she loves … building them! She’s got her own tiny home, which she built herself and she says it’s her dream home. But what’s Amanda’s ‘dream home’ like? Well, it’s got a dining area, a sofa-bed, a wardrobe and a bookshelf. There’s a small kitchen and bathroom area, which includes a shower, a toilet, a fridge, a sink and an oven. Her favourite room is up the stairs – she loves her comfortable bed, the big window and the beautiful view. Her bedroom has also got a desk where she can do her homework and an extra bed for a friend to stay the night. Amanda can’t cook big meals or have a lot of things in her tiny home, but she loves it. She loves living in beautiful nature and she can travel when she wants. ‘When I’m old enough,’ she says, ‘I might travel around the world in my tiny home!’ She says that she wants to start building a tiny house for her brother Tim now – her parents can help with the cost, and Tim can have his own dream home when he’s old enough. What a hobby! And what a present for Tim! Amanda also says she’s happy because she now inspires teenagers to build their own tiny houses, often with under $10,000. With hard work and some money, your dreams can come true!
