Hey Everyone! First off, We at True North hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe and connected during this strange time we're all facing. That being said, we also feel like now is a time more than ever to consider building a tiny home with us for either yourself to limit your costs of living, for an elderly parent to keep them safe and close , as a rental on your property to help you out with some monthly costs or a vacation unit so you can at least get out of the... house! We want to help you Downsize your home to Upsize your lifestyle and we've started a Youtube channel to do just this! UpSizeDown (because we're flipping the idea of downsizing and housing on its head) is a channel where Dan is going to teach you everything you need to know about downsizing and tiny living. We'll be posting new videos every Friday, so make sure you subscribe to stay updated and share with anyone you know who wants to improve their lives. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZIgOLt3l-o

We have a number of people always ask us - How much does the "millennial" cost? Or how much does a True North Tiny home cost? A home ready for a Canadian winter with proper amenities can be around $125,000. The price will depend on size and options chosen. For example, making it off-grid capable adds about $15,00 to the price of the home. Building the tiny house out out of steel studding (to make it lighter and able to be pulled by smaller vehicle) adds about $10,000.... If you send an e-mail to JoAnna or Daniel at [email protected], you can get a more accurate quote depending on how you want your home to be designed!

We thought this was a great quote to reflect the transition of living in Tiny Homes! The first thing most of us do when we move to a bigger house or apartment is to go shopping to fill the space. Whether it's buying several couches and TV's just to fill the entire space of the house, many things end up not being used!... Why not just make purchase a house that can be sustainable, versatile, and comfortable? Nature provides the best settings anyway! #truenorthtinyhomes See more

A number of people are always curious about how a bathroom will work in a tiny home and where it will be located. We get this question alot: Where is the bathroom? What are the bathroom options? Can I have a bathtub? The answer is: The bathroom can be wherever you want. For a trailer unit, having a bathtub would simply mean the unit would be two feet longer. However, since it takes a lot of water to fill a tub, you would not be able to make this home completely off grid. ... This is the beauty of our True North Tiny Homes. They are very versatile and you can still have the bathroom you dreamed of! #TrueNorthTinyHomes

"Where we live, you don’t have to look around a whole lot to see the impact of increasing house prices. Designing bigger was going great so, we looked into what would happen if we designed smaller. Now, to be truthful, this has been a terrifically fun project. Designers love challenges and re-imagining what we consider to be a sustainable home is right up there. We asked ourselves, how could we help people who wanted smaller spaces do it beautifully and economically?"...

Today, we're back with another one of our Most Frequently Asked Questions! Question: How do you maintain the tiny home, especially the roof? We have this question come up a lot especially with the amount of rain and heavy snowfall we get in Canada. ... Answer: We have opted for a galvanized steel roof for The Millenial. Our roof top patio is covered with Duradek. Both surfaces will last 30-50 years. Other than that, maintaining or renovating is very similar to a regular house! #TrueNorthTinyHomes
