"Here and there weekend by weekend I chipped away task after task and headache after headache," said the original poster. And their work has definitely paid off.

The tiny home has a gorgeous A-frame, which many users have complimented in the replies. Inside, there is a small bed facing one of the triangular windows. In addition to a small table with two chairs behind the bed's headboard, three chests line the floor by the window.

While the home is incredibly small, it meets the original poster's needs. They elaborated in the comments that they have a kettle indoors and an outdoor grill.

The OP also shared that the house is 260 square feet, but that's mostly because of its high ceiling.

This kind of tiny house offers a lot of mental health benefits, especially considering how much nature surrounds it.

Tiny homes can be efficient forms of shelter to build after natural disasters. They're also a great place for anyone to live in because of how much they reduce waste and utility bills.

A few Reddit users commented on other aspects of the tiny home as well.
