Jon Meier lives in Needville, Texas, and previously worked in the oil and gas industry. Last year, he decided to completely step away from his career to fulfill a new vision.
"I always see these broken down containers on people's yards and shipyards. There's millions of them in Houston, and they go to waste," Meier told KHOU. "Then I was thinking, I can get everything done to build these tiny little homes."
So that's exactly what he did. Meier converted his 37-acre property into a place to work on his shipping container tiny homes. The project turned into his own business, named Backcountry Containers. Not long after, his hand-built homes began getting attention from buyers around the world.

Now, one of Meier's latest homes will be featured on the popular HGTV/DIY show Tiny House, Big Living. The episode will give viewers a peek inside the home he built for his sister-in-law, complete with a massive closet designed to hold over 200 pairs of shoes.
If you want to own one of his incredible and unique homes, they range in cost from $25,000 to $50,000. You can catch his episode of Tiny House, Big Living on DIY at 8 p.m. on Jan. 5, or on HGTV later this April.
