The internet will find you regardless!
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.

Here's the images.

Thanks muchly for the upload Box.
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! -
I feel your pain there Baz, nothing worse that being stuck with poor coverage. Here on the river I get a brilliant connection. Data, calls, overseas mobile, skype etc all perfect, I even called someone on her mobile in germany while skyping with her and there was no lag between phone and screen. But go back to my house in the middle of sydney and I have to stand on top of the toilet and hold my mouth the right way just to make a call.

Looks pretty neat, Baz. My parents are caravaning around AU at the moment and knowing how much they paid for their new van, I know what I how I'd rather spend my cash....
Any ideas for an outdoor add-on to create a bit of a patio area?

Most definitely, need to get the interior finished first, then will plan a lightweight de-mountable deck, with probably a shade sail over.

Great work. Look forward to seeing it all done...

Looking cool

Wonderful progress. Congratulations.
