Oh my! what an adventure, good luck mate.
You are doing what I dream I had the courage to do, just recently watched a documentary of a retired couple doing something similar in Alaska.
All the best and please keep us posted.

Where will you be building the house Baz, what town? I'd like to google it. Will you have a good set of tools?
Here is the Google maps link: A mates place with a big shed.

Re: tools. After 45 years of woodworking I have too many tools:)

Thanks Solo, cheers Box.
Signing off, next message will be from snake and bushfire country:(
Rgds to all.

Good luck cant wait to see some pictures!!

Sounds great! Sort of the way I spent my youth, but my abodes were not as nice as you'll have. Off grid is great! The internet will find you regardless! Looking forward to the news. Happy New Year and best of luck!
-
Jealous! Enjoy the next phase of your adventure

As will all sorts of creepy crawlers.
Good luck, Baz, and a happy 2018. Do let us know how the house is coming along.

All the best, Baz!
As Box said; Richard might be your best bet on this forum; he's down that way [closer than me anyway]
If you're building on wheels.I assume you're towing it so it's only going to be 3.0m wide or there abouts to meet Main Roads requirements of vehicle size. Also there are heights to be aware of so I'd definitely do some initial investigation with Vic Roads....
Re: building codes/standard; AS 1684 Timber framing code and the NCC Volume 2 are building bibles in Australia however you're not really building a 'building'; you're building a caravan!!
Don't know much in the way of movable housing but I'd suggest there would need some number crunching done on movement, weight distribution, etc.BTW, interesting article about a couple winning the right to keep their 'tiny house on wheels in their yard'...

OK JuJu, that sounds a bit condescending or did I misunderstand?
What you see here is a cutting edge living space. And yes, it is cosy in winter and hopefully cool in summer.Or did you mean just small?
Which is a very different thing. -

Which is a very different thing.Not condescending at all. I could picture myself in a space like you've created...

Ok,sorry, tis' a mis-translation then.
In Oz, Cosy equals cute. I hate cute

As a clarification, cosy equals snug and easy to live in. Not more than you need.

The subtleties of a language are always an exciting thing!
Someone like me has to use deepl.com or similar to distinguish the words and their spoken and understood meanings to decide then to use it in an English post - that has often "gone in my pants" here but luckily is being asked here and can be clarified then...I love this mobile Home and for me it is "gemütlich, behaglich, wohnlich" which is all, a home has to be
Impressive for me about this small Home is that in it can be accommodated a fully staircase up to the sleeping area as a clever combi-furniture for storage space. The selection of the outer aluminum material is also smart because in this shape and color (RAL 9006 ?) available everywhere and so, if necessary, easy to repair...so almost finished - I am looking forward to photos then ...

Having a good look at those pictures gives a clearer idea of the process, design wise. Very nicely done.

I don't suppose someone with a good data allocation would like to put those Dropbox photos up here?
My data is costing 10 bucks per gig, ridiculous, but that's Australia. -

That's crazy expensive Baz, have a look at a new plan, Belong offer 15gig for 40 bucks I think, and there are lots of others throwing it around at the moment. I used their offers to push my Optus plan up to 30gig a month for 45 buck.

I'm in NE Vic and Telstra is the only game in town, and even then I need to have the phone taped to a window!
