A young man and his friends in a TikTok video went to a bush and decided to put a tiny house under a tree. The result was great.
In a TikTok video, after the tiny house was delivered with a truck, they decided to go off-grid and install a solar system for constant electricity.

Working on the house
To have running water, the man and his pals also had to find a creative way to go about it as they employed a water dispenser. As a way to prevent the wood house from getting eaten under, they placed it on a set of blocks to give it a firm footing.

They applied paint to the ceiling to give it a proper house feel. Their solar panels were placed in a direction that makes sunlight reception easier.

"Texas is nice about this. We aren’t hooked up to those things and we are under the sq footage needing any permitting."

Man imports house from China
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a man, Zackary South, showed people the alternative route they can take to own a home without having to lay blocks and use cement.
In a video that went viral on TikTok, Zackary revealed he imported a container home from China and it took the order three months to arrive.
When the container got to his place, it turned out to be a 2-bedroom house with a kitchen and bathroom after installation.
