Welcome to the very first episode of Talking Tiny
where we'll be talking about everything to do
with Tiny Homes and Tiny Living On this episode we'll be talking about
Stolen Tiny Houses and a Tiny Display Village and we have a special treat for you
We've got an exclusive interview with Jaz Morton
also known as "Travelling with Jaz"
So first of all we are going to be talking about
The Stolen Tiny Home
So a Tiny House Prototype was stolen from
a business in Canberra in the ACT in Australia On a Sunday night, someone heard a rustling
and it was taken all the way to Kingaroy, QLD
and they found it through the power of social media
Wow, so social media can be used for good! that is… that's great news
And the owner of the Tiny Home put it out on social media saying that
it has been taken, and then obviously people have sighted the Tiny Home
and let her know where it was and she was able to pass that information
onto the police and they found a gentlemen
and they've charged him, a 24 year old man Now what kinda of person steals someone's
house?
I have no idea So what do you think people could do..
If you have a Tiny Home, to prevent it from happening?
Well there's a few things you probably already have
that will help you So your iDevices; iPad, iPhone, iPod
they have the functionality that you may or may not
already be aware called Find my iPhone As long as you have that turned on
where ever that device is connected to wifi or a mobile [cell] reception
(It's going to track it) you can track it online
just by going to iCloud.com And if you are an Android lover
which I know there are people out there that are
You can use an app like Life360 which is similar to
Find my iPhone and basically does the same thing
So what do you think about maybe pulling the tires off the Tiny House, that
might sort of I guess deter someone from stealing it
Cause you could still have it registered as a caravan
even if you decide to move the wheels once you've installed it
where you are going I think that would be the ultimate solution
because they would not be able to move it at all
Unless they put the tires back on but that seems like a lot of work to steal a Tiny
House So there you have it, if you guys saw the
story or if you have any ideas on how you can keep
your Tiny Home safe Please let us know in the comments
So, story number two is about a Tiny Display Village
So a council planning commission has gone in
for Melbourne, in South Yarra To put in a Tiny House Display Village
A display village just for Tiny Homes Hang on, so can people actually buy and live
in these houses?
No living in the.. it's not a village for living in
It's just a village for display I believe the article a lured to something
like maybe people could stay there
in like a AirBNB type fashion but, I don't know
So, I personally think thought this was a great idea
It was a way of getting Tiny Houses out there I mean for me I think there is so many times
that a Tiny House is a good idea If you're a retiree
If you're a family If you're a single person trying to make
it into the housing market but maybe you've never
seen one and you can't wrap your head around it
or your parents are totally against it until they see one
So, yeah, I thought it was a good idea What do you think?
Good idea?
Absolutely, I think.. more opportunity for more people to see
an option that is beyond just a $500,000 house work for 30 years
where you can actually get a Tiny Home A custom Tiny House, that is, you know
well under that, $50,000 or less or a little bit more
So I think this is a good thing to get the word out
We just want more display homes around Australia So people don't have to, you know
travel so far to try and find it Exactly
And, I mean, in reading the comments that were on the page
There was some feeling that this was like, maybe um
consumerising something that was, you know in the spirit of Tiny Homes and free enterprise
and that sort of thing, that was maybe trying to take advantage of Tiny House owners and
builders Um I guess, that's up for debate?
Well I see it just like a Home Show We went to the Brisbane Home Show
People, businesses, brought their product to the people
and people actually paid money to go into this place to see products
and get, you know, advertise.. advertisement, um thrown at you
So I think (it's one big ad) And this is going to be, I think
Just another small step in the right direction for the Tiny House community
Exactly So let us know what you think about that
Tiny display home; good for tiny house exposure?
Or maybe commercialising something that should be more free enterprise?
So now we have the special treat for you where we had the opportunity this week
to sit down with "Travelling Jaz"; Jaz Morton
Who is taking a van and making it his tiny home
Is living the "van life" So we
Basically asked him a lot of interesting questions and we think you are going to enjoy this conversation
How are you guys going?
Good!
How are you?
I'm going pretty well, trying to a stay happy with this weather, it's really
rainy Yeah it's rainy terrible down here too
So, what made you want to do the van?
Um, aww I've actually had my best mates 'Cause I'm originally from Darwin
and some of my best mates are have been living in their van for
nearly, if not 5 years but travelling around Australia cause they're
musicians So they've just been doing that, like, you
know for ages now and they're parents even live in a converted
bus.. like truck thing (that is cool) Yeah, but they've just brought a property
on the um on the sunny coast
So their parents have got some land now and I think they're going to make something
a bit more stable But, aww just a mixture of like them
They're obviously inspired me I've got other mates that have lived in
a van Um
But I was living in um Bali for like a year
And I quite my job Moved to Bali, just adventured
Just had enough of the you know, the rat race That's huge (that's so cool)
Yeah I was like, I think I was Just turned 22, just turned 22 I moved to
Bali And I had sold like everything
My work ute I finished my um apprenticeship
So I was like a tradie, um a sparkie, and um
Yeah I was like f@*k this I'm just gonna go to Bali
Live the dream Yeah, so
That all worked out, that like I feel like
When I was living there I sort of
got more inline with my passions like sort of
knew what I wanted to do in life I don't know everything
but I knew I wanted to travel and everything so
You know, the only reason I'm back is cause I ran out of money
Damn it!
Yeah, cause I was there for 10 months and then um
I came back to Australia for 3 (months) And, but I'm like still in travel mode,
I still had money So my dad had a, like a shit box little van
at the time And I bought that like for $2,000 off him
And spent like $400 doing it up Yep, we've seen that on your blog, we love
it (yeah it looked great) Yeah that was that van
So I experimented with the van life back then I did that for 3 months, I loved it
Even though it was the most simple van ever And then I went back to Bali for 2 months
And I completely ran out of money and came back to Australia
And I've been here ever since Since July last year (2016)
Wow, that is so cool So what is the plan with the van?
Is it to travel straight away, or?
We saw your video this morning and you said you needed it
finished by years end (2017)?
"I've really gotta get a move on with this van because I have to get
it done before the end of this year, so…"
Well that's like, that's my deadline In fact my deadline was like
two weeks ago But um
Like yeah like cause I don't I wanna quit my job and
travel, that's like all I wanna do And like do, I love making YouTube videos
and the van videos but like
my favourite is making travel videos so Like, that's just my personal deadline
I don't like, I'm not going to die if I don't get it done by then
But you know, you've got to set deadlines
Put it out to the world, that's what we reckon
We were like, once we start our YouTube channel
it's gonna happen (yep) Yeah, pretty much, so
Like yeah, I've said I've had to get it done by the end of the year
Because in my head I want to finish up at work at the end of
the year Even though I'm thinking I might have to
work up until the end of January Just to have enough money, and stuff like
that But um
Yeah like, that's just like, it's just my personal deadline
And I wanna to start traveling next year, like ASAP, so
Yeah, I wanna do um like YouTube full time, like (yes!)
I want that to be one of my things, as well as my blog and the website,
but YouTube and making videos, like
Ive just like I've visualised for so long, making like travel videos
Like really cool ones Yeah that's why, that's like my..
Well you can tell, your videos are awesome Yes, we love them
Thank you, thank you very much There's something very meditative about
watching it I don't know if that's a word
But I just, I find them so calming Oh really?
You must be the like the definitive measure twice, cut once
Cause you make my OCD feel good Really?
Oh that's a good compliment, thank you Oh no no, honestly
Everything you watch in the video, like I feel like I do the best I can
with what I know It seems like, honestly
I make heaps of mistakes and
may sit there staring at things for like ages, like
I mean can't put that in cause you'd see me staring
at for an hour, so yeah, like, yeah
My version of making a van video is like Information, information, information
Like I just wanna, just get it all in because Otherwise the videos would go ten hours long,
you know?
So, even though they go for pretty long some of them
But, yeah, there is so much to cover Yes I know
So whose teaching you?
Like, obviously, have you watched anyone else do these videos?
Or Blogs?
Or..?
Of course I've watched other people And initially
like, I'll tell you the truth, like When I decided to do the van because
It all starts with inspiration, like I'll be watching you guys, you'll watch
me, like You watch other people and get inspired
So Before I even bought the van, I was like,
watching other people doing it Like, this is so cool
So then I bought the van, um And yeah, I remember being in this mindset
of like OK, I don't know how I can do it
But I'll watch everyone else But eventually after a while
I decided I'm gonna stop watching other people, anybody
else 'Cause
Procrastination, like, I'd just sit there Like I'd remember before I started this
build I couldn't go to sleep at night for 2 weeks
straight, cause like Too much in my mind
Yes I think that's how we've been with the
Tiny House too We've been watching people Tiny Houses forever
And now it's like Actually, no, we're going to do it
We're gonna step out and do it It comes to the crush and you're just like,
you know It's never going to be perfect
You know, ever, so In my mind I was like, I just gotta
It's fine to look at information, I've found
But you know, there's just so much information out there
You can just go down a YouTube spiral and stay in there for hours
Yes, that's the YouTube rabbit hole Yeah, so I had to like
I actually For like a while I feel like it's a while
I haven't really watched very many other people
Although, at the start, like I have gotten ideas, definitely from other
people Sorta of done my version of it
But For the most part of it, I sorta just winged
it to be honest That is awesome
So how much do you think it's gonna cost?
Oh man, I tell ya It just blows out doesn't it
It always does Time, budget, everything, like
Originally, before I bought the Mercedes Sprinter, before I was even looking at the Sprinters
I was looking at Toyota I can't
The big, the big, like Maxi Taxi stuff like vans
Um, and I like was budget, oh you know, like $8,000-$10,000, for like the whole thing
And I ended up buying the Mercedes Sprinter, which costs me $28,500
Wow Yeah, cause once I saw that I could stand
up I was like, I can't
Yeah you can't go back now Yeah I can't go back
So, $28,500 for just the van And so far I've spent $10,000 on the build
Um, but, the most expensive thing by far Which no one has seen yet, I haven't even
bought Is going to be the batteries systems, solar
and yeah that whole setup So it's lithium ion
I'm pretty sure Tesla probably be lithium ion?
Yes, yep, lithium So as you guys know, lithium ion are the best
but, they're the most expensive So, but, you know, like
I just look at it in a ways as I could buy a $500,000 house (yes)
Or I could buy a van that'll cost nearly $30,000
Kit it out for $20,000 - $25,000 And then have a house for $55,000, or something
like that you know, so If you look at it in that way
It's super super bloody cheap And it's a house, your backyard is Australia
Exactly I mean even if you were renting, you would
of been spending like, what $200-$300 a week So like close to $20,000 or $30,000 a year
The place I'm living in now is actually pretty bloody good
It's $160, but That includes Netflix, like, Internet
Stan, electricity, like everything is covered in that
And the location is good too, so it's good, but
Yeah, I'll probably spend about $8,000 roughly this year on rent, just rent (OK)
So that's just dead weight really But yeah, I estimated now that this van build
Including the cost of the van + the build Will be um
28+25, so round about $55,000, I reckon Which is like (That's good)
Which is so much more than I originally thought But, um
Yeah like, just as I said, did the battery system and everything
It's going to be like $10,000 Which is pretty ridiculous
Does that happen through a loan, or you saving up and you paying for it in cash?
Well, um, so To buy the van initially it's $28,500
I had something like $14,000 saved And I loaned the rest from my parents
So they loaned me like $14,000, so they fronted half
You know, trusty parents We've all been to the bank of mum and dad
Yeah for sure, so, um, they Yeah I pay them back as quick as I could,
so And it was like, interest free
That's awesome, that's the best way Yeah.
But now I've been like Like saving money, then like I gotta spend
some money So my bank account is up, down, up, down
But it's slowly getting up And um yeah, but my parents said if I need
to borrow a couple of thousand dollars (yep, to get you over)
I'll pay them back obviously, but Yeah just to finish this van build
So, but yeah most of it is from my money, that I've saved
That's awesome So will you be able to work as you travel?
In the van?
Or is that, hopefully YouTube will be the..
Oh well I'm not, I can't rely 100% on that, it's too unstable at this stage
So um, like, to be honest I'm a electrician
And I'll probably/definitely be able to pickup some work if I really want to, but
um Like I want a
I don't want to rely on that, like I want a
I'd would rather honestly Do something I've never done before
Something new So, you know
My mate was telling me he went around Australia fruit picking
All these other things, so like And he said that if I do fruit picking
The farmers will probably want electrical jobs done, so like
Oh yeah, pick up something on the side Yeah but, I dunno, I think it's gonna be
My income is gonna be from multiple sources I think, just random stuff
Until, you know, like I really start getting YouTube and everything going
Cause that's been my dream It's been my dream for ages, to have like
my own business, like online money, so, I dunno
I can't, I dunno yet, I can't answer those questions
That is so cool So was it quite cheap to live in Bali?
Oh, to give you guys an idea The first place I ever rented was $150 a month
What, wow Um, to rent my scooter, it was $60 a month
Which is like $2 a day Wow
Fuel was, $7 a week Food was, you know, barely, not much
Aww, what else do you have to pay for?
Like I guess I had to pay for odd things like visa renewals
Cause like, something like, $60 a month, you know
But in terms of, compared to Australia, it's just nothing
That's great Yeah, it was such a free lifestyle and paying
like nothing Surfing all the time
I can't wait to go back to be honest, like Like I think about Indonesia and stuff all
the time Oh that's great
Yeah, so, like Once this van is done I wanna do Australia
(yep) But it's gonna be my house in Australia
So I'm gonna be able to leave You know, wherever, and then come back to
my house which is my van, so Fantastic
So do you think the van will be, is it like a single person dwelling, or is there room
for two people?
I'm hoping that, allowing for two people You know, like a couple like yourselves, like
if wanted to live in a van, like It would be would be like that, but
Definitely couldn't fit five, five children in the van
Our daughter Winnie was like "Can we have a van house mummy?"
I'm like "They don't make a van big enough for us hunnie"
No, oh although Have you guys ever heard of Van Life Diaries?
No You definitely, 100%, should follow them,
Van Life Diaries Um, one of my good mates actually runs the
Instagram page and everything, but um They do events, like gatherings, in Australia
Oh yep So everyone vans, buses
You don't even have to have a van, you can just go
And just meet everyone doing the van life Yeah
And I went to the last one there was like There was like this bus that rocked up, like
a massive school bus, but it was like done up
Wow, that is cool There was five or six living in it, two, the
mum, dad and the kids you know So you guys could definitely do that
Yes, well our Tiny House will be on wheels The plan is we can always move it to wherever
we need to go So it won't be stuck there
It's not permanent I don't think it's designed to be like,
constant travel But it would be fine to move some place else
On like, you know normal roads But maybe not, going down, crazy dirt roads
(yeah, exactly) I'm actually keen to see how you do the
solar Like it's going to be a portable thing you
fling out, or That might be the next one as well I"m not
sure yet depending Cause I went to, like today, I've been trying to get the bloody solar
panels for a while, but the rep guy has been doing solar
installs up north It's just been back and forth, but
Um, yeah, that might be the next one But it's all going to be fixed to the roof,
like And then, I think the main five of them are
gonna be on like a hinge So if you need to clean underneath, or like
Work on the connections and stuff, it's gonna be hinged
So it's gonna be 4x small ones and 5x large ones
I'm using every like square inch of roof Of roof space, so are we
Yeah I have like two exhaust fans Which sort of lift up, having, doing it easily
So I had to be a bit, like, to think a bit Yeah, make them fit, but, I think I'm gonna
get enough solar It's gonna be 580 watts of solar
Which isn't that much compared to, you know, a house, but
Um, for a van, I'm not really, I'm not running
A electric stove or a electric heater for instance
It's all just small stuff, so I'm hoping that will be enough
But it's all trial and error, you know Yeah that'll be great
So, um Is the plan to like go right round Australia
or you don't know, wherever the wind may take you?
A bit of that, but like my rough plan, like I'm not sure if I want to go here up north
And then just to see it, and then back, all the way down the east coast
Um, across the Great Ocean Road Bang up the guts to Darwin
And then from there across to WA and everything I think it's gonna be like a "S"
