William Kastrinos of Tortoise Shell Homes has come up with the perfect answer for the do-it-yourself tiny house builder. He has constructed a 128 sq ft, 8 x 16 x 13ft 4in tall and 2500 pound home built from Codding Steel with a built in full size shower already plumbed and ready to use.
Bill calls this home the “Naked Galapagos” You as the do-it-yourselfer get to choose your siding, roofing, interior walls and appliances. The cool thing is that you can build this and pay as you go. Complete it in a week or a year, you decide.
I’ve had the privilege of seeing these in person and they are well constructed and have been test driven all over the Sonoma Coast. These are built to last and with proper completion should give you years of enjoyment.
If you are looking for that tiny house to live in full time or that vacation get-a-way, or an extra room to add to your existing house, be sure and check out the “Naked Galapagos” from Tortoise Shell Homes.
Pictures below give more detail to the Codding Steel construction of the home. The Galapagos is also available as a finished and completed home for $20,900.
Completed Box Turtle $17,500. Two Box Turtles can be connected to make a larger 260 square foot home.
