Online Tiny House Workshop: Dan Louche’s Build Along Construction Course
Dan Louche will be hosting an online tiny house workshop or build along to help you with the construction process.
You would be able to follow along as he builds his third little house on a trailer. But there’s more to it than just that. Here’s all that the build along includes:
- Access to an online community of other builders
- Video and pictures demonstrating every step
- Group calls with Dan and the other builders
- One-on-one consultations with Dan
- Tiny Retirement or Tiny Living plans
- Tiny House Construction Guide
So how much does it cost?
It’s $849 to attend the entire Build Along and gain access to everything you see above.

If you’ve already purchased his plans before you’ll get a discounted price ($600). Just mention it to Dan after you reserve your spot and you’ll get a discounted price later on because here’s how it works:
If you want to secure your spot in the build along, you just have to a pay a reservation fee of $99 then the rest ($750) is due in March.

Not ready to make a decision yet? I can send you e-mail reminders as the time approaches plus I’ll send you a digital copy of my book, The Little Book of Tiny House Floor Plans, which feature both of Dan Louche’s current designs. Just enter your e-mail below.

Alex, I was wondering why I never seem to see buildings that use metal studs? Is there a reason?

On tiny houses on a trailer you don’t see them much because the homes are made to be mobile.. So the screws can slowly come out when the house is towed and everything vibrates. I’m sure there’s a way to prevent that, though.

this might be a solution.. There are screws you can buy that are coated, the friction (heat) from the screw entering the wood activates the glue and holds the screws in place..

I have seen this done on a homemade horse trailer .using small blocks of wood between the studs.
My husband and I are doing the build a long. We can’t wait to have the chance to work with Dan and to build our new little home on wheels.

Alex, Thanks for the comment about metal studs. I am wondering if rivets might be the simple solution? I am interested because if you look at the difference in weight between metal and wood studs, the metal ones are a fraction of the weight of wood. I will look for fasteners other than rivets but if they work on planes, they certainly should work on a tiny house. JM

My pleasure, John. Not sure on the rivets as my knowledge comes from reading and asking questions, not experience.
If I were doing it, I’d probably double or triple ensure by using some kind of glue as well. Keep me updated on what you learn/find!
