If I won a big lottery- I would order these in volume to set up communities for those kids who have aged out of the Foster Care system, conditional on attending PAID classes like Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, how to cook, clean, use tools to maintain their home.
Velocity banking is 100% better than Dave R. Vanntastic with Christy Vann on utube. Get out of debt in months not years. Christy is a Christian if that helps.
Holy crapola… I was getting so down with you guys lately. But you have reignited the very reason I started following you guys in the beginning. This is a cute, livable and AFFORDABLE!! You guys have created “The American Dream” for many, many people. I’m a 65yr old guy living on retirement due to having a stroke last year. I’m trying so hard to save up to purchase one of your deals you have to move out there into your community. Don’t count me out yet. It’s a dream of mine to be able to live out there. I really liked the one you had in th Forrest for sale for $99,000. You are amazing people.
If I had some land that allowed just a tiny home on it, then I really would regret not buying this tiny home. Glad you did that with the 2 bottom steps. Looks great!
Use the upstairs for storage and sleep downstairs in a recliner. I have been sleeping in a recliner for over 20 years. You will sleep better and healthier. I have acid reflex. It will seem strange at first and take a few nights to get use to it. The key is to get a very comfortable recliner. Something you "melt" into with wide arms 7 inches wide or more. Fabric is better than leather.Do not buy it on line. You must sit in it to be sure. If the recliner is not the way you want to go get a hide-a-bed for the living room. You do not need a bedroom!
The house looks beautiful, especially outside....painting it made such a difference! But I believe there was a small bathroom sink??? ......with an option to have a slightly larger sink/vanity??? But there is no sink at all ! ?
@@susanmurrell635The half-moon bathroom sink ($750) is an addon not an upgrade. Standard model has no bathroom sink because the kitchen sink is only a couple feet away i believe.
I just love the ESP home! I'm so glad you are expanding on this concept. You don't have to worry about termites, carpenter bees, or rot. Anyone can just grab a saw and put AC in the wall , vent the combo washer or add a window in any wall. I also love that you can use magnets on the walls. Love this floor plan too. Keep up the great work!
@@kerispain4838 - There's a guy who lives in Florida who emails ITH after every hurricane that his insulated steel panel home has weathered through undamaged. He has it tied down using the standard tie down method FL recommends, and it's gone through 3 hurricanes so far.
I financed my shed to house it was #25,000.00 no bathroom no kitchen, no stairs to the loft, no electric, no plumbing. No insulation or inside walls. Just a shed. I had to pay to have everything added. This is a GREAT DEAL!!
You did it! You did it with the stairs like I suggested! Woot! I absolutely love the way the light from the windows reflects on the walls and ceiling, making it look a lot lighter inside.
This is fantastic! You can’t buy a used large pop up camper for $25K! You’re making it possible for,Americans to live in a respectful way and within their financial means. 🥰🇺🇸 🙏
Well I have to say I am thankful, blessed and excited I was able to buy the now named American Dream when it was on sale for $25 thousand. Yes I had to add on some amenities and a bathroom sink and door was not included in my budget. I had to decide what things really mattered in order for my home to be functional etc… Once it is set up in Alabama at Cottages at Pine Lake, I will hire someone to come in, paint, hook up my washer/ dryer combo, ( not thrilled that’s my only option) hang all my beach pictures, possibly put a sink in the bathroom and do whatever else needs to be done. Amenities add up fast!! But I am very grateful for a new chapter in my life and for the opportunity I was given by ITH.
There's no lot available on the Mountain to put it. He's said he'll develop a lot up there after BC is finished, and keep his I-box for his guests to sleep in.
Saw this at the Madison tiny fest, very nice for the price. My first impression was the stairs could use a safety railing, water heater is placed in a smart location. The foam core panel construction was used for another of the tiny homes at the festival and it’s a concept that is becoming a contemporary building process, makes a lot of sense for tiny’s, efficient and weight saving. I’m sure buying from a high volume manufacturer, able to resource materials in bulk, would save on the costs over a diy build. At the final meeting of vendors and homeowners at the event, the representative of ith mentioned that they made a sale, congrats to you! There wasn’t a big attendance at the festival, so I guess that proves these folks are going in the right direction for tiny homes. Good job Randy and everyone working in your company, the sales lady at the show was a kind and unpretentious individual, seems like as some companies become successful they get snobby and short tempered even obnoxious, we, in the USA should aspire to your model of decent ideals.
Bigger is not always better. If you want the original American Dream prepare to pay exponentially more each year. Pricing is out of reach now unless you are a millionaire or paying a huge mortgage.
Amazing price on this place. I love it. What a great idea with those retractable steps. We are listing our home this weekend for sale so we can move out there. We can't wait.
The only changes i would make Lower the loft down to make the kitchen and bath 6"3 or so Make the stair case straight And of course eliminate or move windows and doors as needed. These would make excellent tiny community homes. For personal use I'd want a recirculating shower and as much 12 volt as possible
I've loved your homes for years! I'm hoping to get one some day. On other homes, you always put the stairs behind the door. My question to you is, why wouldn't you put the stairs behind the door on the American Dream? Customers are losing space for possible kitchen shelving or cabinets. Also, possible dirt from stair tread while cooking.
@@justthink5854 Not everyone can handle those ships ladders and request more normal stairs. As far as the sink goes lots of customers prefer big sinks for easier cleaning room than a bigger bathroom that is not used as often. Each customer has totally different likes so you will never make a model that pleases everyone but this one is very popular as it is.
This is an incredible deal. If I can find a place in florida to set it up as a permanent home I’ll be calling. My home in Georgia closes June 13. I’ve watched your business grow from the start but have not had the funds to buy one till now. God is good for having people who put their heart and soul in helping the less fortunate of us. Thank you for being one of them. Randy,Amanda and crew❤️
Love this home so much, I wanted so bad to get one but I wouldn't have known where to put it.. Maybe another time I can get in on it! You are all so Special in my eyes!!! Love you both so much!!!💞
I want one of these; working/saving to retire! The dormers are worth it and crucial for creating a hanging closet that runs the entire width, behind the bed! I also plan/hope to have a very large porch/greenhouse for growing herbs & vegetables yr round 🌞
Blue and white my fav color combo! So nice. Not sure about the stairs. Rather have it descend straight down under window. Always loved your old design with the 3 windows on the living area end.
Love this plan. 99% everything i like. Now if only only i can find a bath solution❤. Hopefully in the next couple of years i will enough saved for my dream tiny house!
Those stairs are so crudely connected at the edge with the counter. Y'all can do better than that. That's just basic carpentry, C'mon y'all. Love the improvements and definitely something I would consider.
A better curve peel can be reached. Please relook at the exterior placements and alignment of the windows. Recommendations: the window center above the front door. Two move the other window two feet away from the front door basically two feet closer to bay window so that the white trim is not fighting with white edge trim where the roof pitch changes. Three center second level window to kitchen window. Bay window is great would not change that.
the windows were moved toward the door at other people's request to accommodate everyone wanting to make a bedroom at the bay window with a wall or curtain. This way they still have windows in the living area. There is no way to please everyone's individual preferences except to make the request when you order. The window over the door could go further to the right in the loft but not to the left to center over door because the loft ends there
I was sitting here thinking...I am planning a calico wall in different stained flooring remnants (left over pieces from peoples flooring jobs) and will end up using a lot of nails. But I am looking at this house...a person could just put magnets on the back of anything they wanted to put up on the walls (wood, tile, those tin ceiling panels) and then you could literally change the walls at will by just pulling them down and putting something else up.
R&A, thank you all for continuing to improve the quality of your homes and efficiency of ITH to keep prices more affordable, so more individuals can live independently. Thanks for all you do! 🙏❤️🙏
I would want my stairs straight against to wall with a electric water heater not that big tank. It's a great home for sure! Are you going to have more lots in Tennessee?
@@nteague528 You can request a tankless water heater. There is a new property in the works in middle tennessee at this time. More details later. You could request stairs against the wall but they would take up a considerable amount of your living space. That is the reason Randy opted to do them this way.
AWESOME !!! Congrats to all the 25 in the drawing. I was watching the Amanda& Randy when they launched the special. Exciting that Matthew will be the one to get it in person!!! I sure would like to see Ace!
SO awesome, guys!! I'm thinking about a studio space and this would be awesome! Can you just do a ladder instead of the staircase? I teach painting classes too and would need the extra space downstairs. Also, could you please show one inside without the dormers? Thanks and best of luck as always! Love you guys!! 😍
OMG !!!!! What an awesome deal Randy !!! It’s so stinking cute !!!! Love the color of the door & siding !!! I can’t wait to see it decorated. Great show guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🥰🙏🏻🇺🇸🏠🐶
I bought this home with the first deal in December. I never heard you mention any updates on that deal. I thought it was said that if you sold 100, you would draw a name for free delivery.
I would suggest move the windows forward at least 2 ft (away from door) to provide workspace. We need that counter space to cook etc. No prep space or appliances room. Plus I think we’d bump our heads a lot. 😅 Besides that great job!
putting the stairs behind the door would shrink the bathroom 2 feet which would not be good. Having the stairs go over the counter distance keeps the width as wide as possible.
There are many tiny home owners that report that they wish they would have bought a ten foot wide model as it makes a big difference. A double dormer with a wide open floor plan 10x20 under $40,000 production model. would serve the largest portion of market share. (Leave the water heater under the stairs and make it go straight up. Allow a buyer to pay for an extra window or two as an amenity.) Wouldn’t buy it with the stairs that way. Would only buy a 10 foot wide model.
ITH has lots of 10' wide homes, but you can't tow them without permits in many states. People have been asking for a longer 8' wide. This is it. (Check out the 10' wide homes on ITH's website.)
@@justthink5854 using that high step at the top shortens the length the staircase would have to be if you use all 7" risers which would use up more living space
@@neolog7839 A bathroom without a sink is a bathroom without a sink. You can add a sink as an amenity or install one that you like better. Some customers have requested they be left out to save space since you have one close by
Is ITH still going to offer 28’ x 8’ homes? I’m interested in moving my home without resorting to commercial haulers. Both Charleston and Augusta could possibly have a first floor bedroom with the bathroom moved as a continuation of the kitchen. The staircase and washer/dryer area could slide into the previous bathroom area. My goal is to keep my ITH long term indulging my ability to relocate while still young enough and independence when older.
American Dream is a gorgeous little home! I love the stairs, the big upstairs, the open windows in the loft, the kitchen is perfect. You’ve used every inch of the home to be used & enjoyed with tons of storage area in the loft. The stairs make this a perfect tiny home. Building the staircase finally resolves the problem of getting upstairs easily which women had wanted for a long time. The stairs bring glamour to the home too & can be decorated so cute. Amanda, the open area with the stairs was a perfect idea! That looks so nice & adds more light to the home. I think parents should get one of these homes for their teenager & put it in the parent’s backyard. Teens would love to decorate this home & live in it. Then parents would know where their kids are & know they are safe. Saves money for the college years also. I would go wild decorating this tiny home. Such a cute floor plan & at 30,000 you can really make it exceptional. 😮
I think door should be red to be All American Red, White and Blue!!❤ love this and would like to have seen it when I bought my Lexington. Cannot wait to be in it on Buffalo Creek!!! READY, READY, READY!!!
I love the blue with white trim and would put thin white board on the seams and it would be Board-n-Batton, plus I would have a red door with a full-size window and built-in blinds, then you would have a patriotic house, for the American Dream. I can't tell if that roof is white or steel silver, which would be perfect for the outside. I also would put a retractable screen door from Lowes. (Like the Cardi's have on their beach rental). Love the staircase and that you can push the bottom two stairs under to make room and the opening above the counter tops. I would put that electrical panel up higher (like in the Incred-i-Box) so that someone can put a shoe cabinet or some shelves, or whatever they want. Some kind of storage could be custom built for that space, and having the electrical panel up higher would give people that option, and they would have it more at eye level than close to the ground. I would get a cart put an large Oster Oven - with various settings and a microwave/Air Fryer on the other side of the stairs with casters so that you can move it if you need to access the water heater but love that you put it under the landing where the corner of the stairs are, that is a great place to put it, and a door in front. (I am sure one will be on there for the show). Maybe another package deal would be a Front door with a full window and built-in blinds and the retractable screen door from Lows.
I love this tiny house with the stairs inside, my only thing is I would swap the door and the stairs so the kitchen was a full kitchen again. Door next to kitchen and the stairs over where the fridge is, if that makes sense. Love incredible tiny homes, you guys are awesome 🤘
I notice there doesn't appear to be and electrical outlets along either wall in the living room area. Only the two outlets in the end wall under the bay window. Are there plans or a way to add outlets? This model is indeed a dream!
