Building Our Tiny House: Moving the Chassis and Rust Proofing

TLDRIn this video, we document our journey of moving the chassis for our tiny house into place and rust proofing it. We have been planning this project for three years and are excited to finally see it come to life.

Key insights

🏡After three years of planning, we successfully moved the chassis for our tiny house into place.

🌧️Despite some unexpected rain, we were able to rust proof the chassis and prevent further damage.

🛠️Using a grinder, we removed surface rust from the chassis and applied a rust converter for protection.

🔨We are now ready to start building our tiny house on the secure and rust-proofed chassis.

😅While the process was challenging and required physical strength, we are proud of our accomplishment.

Q&A

How long did it take to move the chassis into place?

It took us a few hours to carefully maneuver the chassis into its final position.

Why did you need to rust proof the chassis?

Rust can cause structural damage and weaken the integrity of the chassis, so we wanted to ensure its long-term durability.

What tools did you use to remove the rust?

We used a grinder and sanding wheels to remove the surface rust from the chassis.

How did you protect the chassis from future rusting?

We applied a rust converter called Builthammer Hydrate 80, which stops the metal from oxidizing and provides lasting protection.

What's next in the building process?

Now that the chassis is in place and rust proofed, we can begin constructing our tiny house on top of it.
