We're considering putting a tiny house in our backyard to use as an office/craft studio/guest room. I've seen a bunch advertised online, but I'd love some unbiased feedback on how well they work in our climate. We would be running electrical to it, but no plumbing (at least for now) due to cost constraints, so a no bathroom model would work. How are they quality-wise? How's the insulation, especially in winter?
My friend got one that was more panels and less kit, so it was insulated and it is nice enough.
You might just be better off pouring a pad and buying some SIPs structural insulated panels and get them delivered. Then you can order trusses and hire a roofer (or do those two together) then you'll effectively get the same thing or better at less cost and exactly what you want.
You still need all the other parts the only difference is ground up, so compare walls+roof of materials+labor to one another and you'll get a better comparison.
One thing to keep in mind is that not all tiny house kits are approved for use permitted use in the state of Washington. So you will want to check with Labor and Industries who does the permitting before you buy anything. You don't want to spend a ton if money on something you won't be permitted to actually build.

Hi all, I’m building a tiny home and trying to figure out the right way to make the shower work in the tight space. The way it’s designed now I have about 30” x 42” to work with. What are some shower set ups that people have build and used? I’m open to anything: pre fab shower stall, fibreglass base with tile walls, all tile. Whatever is compact, functional and cool.
Thanks!
