The INSIDER Summary:

• Nathan Eigenfeld is building his own tiny mobile home.
• He'll live in it during a three-month ski trip to British Columbia this winter.
• He has no substantial construction experience, so the project has been frustrating and rewarding.

Colorado native Nathan Eigenfeld, 27, is turning an 8x6 trailer into a cozy ski lodge on wheels, which he plans to live in this winter.

He's building the tiny home with no real construction experience... though his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering certainly helps.
