And it’s 4 years old. Lol. The price is laughable! You can buy a decked out 5th wheel or bumper pull with way more stuff for 80k. It’s insane how people don’t feel guilty about screwing buyers.
The reason people were going tiny is to save money! Now, like the original comment said.. they could buy a house and land for that depending on location. It’s just crazy. People aren’t going to buy a tiny home at that price when you can buy something bigger and nicer.
The chalk above the door is from the Epiphany Blessing of the Doors. The Blessing of the Doors has root in Polish and German customs. It recalls the visit of the Magi, strangers in a foreign land, and how they were welcomed by Mary and Joseph at the stable in Bethlehem. The blessing reminds us of the welcome that we owe to all who visit us, regarding them as nothing less than Christ himself, or as Scripture has it, “Do not neglect hospitality, for through it, some have unknowingly entertained angels.” [Hebrews 13:2] Preparation: Tradition holds that the doors are chalked with a combination of the letters of the initials of the Magi and the numbers of the new year. For 2012, it would look like 20 + C + M + B + 12.
First thing when door opened - the stove and refrigerator are right beside each other. Has anyone ever lived like this? We bought a house with this design. It was horrible. Every time I cooked, my fridge worked overtime. Whoever designed this layout has never cooked.
I visited there today and this past may and the changes between that time was amazing. I got to see the progress of my house. I met Randy both times and he is exactly what you see in the videos. He got information about me and my friend before coming out and talking to us. That was impressive and everyone we talked to was friendly and you could tell they love there job. I highly recommend people to visit and experience not only the place but to be able to interact with everyone. And of course I got to pet Ace. (Randy if you or Amanda read this, I think you should put a go pro on ace so we can all see the mischief he gets into). Anyways great company that does amazing work.
@@cheri6174Excuse me? What do you mean with saying the large majority of people buying tiny homes would not be what you want for a neighbor? Stereotype much?
I love this floor plan; I hope you'll still be building these when my time comes to have my dream home. A bed with drawers under it for clothes would be the perfect dresser, too. Nice home!
Randy, great home and price. Agree with lady Amanda. Its beautiful. Randy should keep it. Wish, I could buy it too. Keep it Randy. Ace needs to play in there.
A true testament of your product quality, it still looks like it just rolled out of the shop. If I had the coin I'd buy this in an instant. Whoever buys it will be very happy.
I’d make the living room a living room/bedroom with day bed or sofa bed, and keep that reverse loft for guests or storage or an office as you are sitting you can roll in and roll out on an office chair.
Thank you for these wonderful ideas. We are in the planning stages of a skoolie and my husband said we need a pet room for our 4 cats and enough head space for him because he is 6'9". We also have 13 grandbabies.
Oh i love this!! Being disabled that reverse loft would be perfect and I have a king bed. ( for me and my 3 dogs) hahaha I also want to live off grid so that's calling me!! Thank you Randy and Amanda. I sure missed you both on Friday. It was a long weekend! ❤
I'd like to say me too, but I have 3 cats! I'd like to live right there and even rent. I could afford $500.00 a month with my disability. I like to dream big!
@Ukdena Walker thanks for your reply! I hope Randy keeps it! Then we can try to buy it from him later! I bet taking care/feeding your cat is like taking care of 3 of my "regular" cats! I'm very thankful for my blessing which include living with my oldest girl and her husband when I was suddenly stuck with seizures in my late 40's that has left me unable to work (late 50's now). I'm hoping to get into low-income housing at some point in the next 2 years. Long waiting list. I'm looking for options and my kids are in no hurry to get rid of me thankfully. Sorry - I go on and on! Best wishes for you and yours!🍀🍀🍀
@Ukdena Walker thanks YOU for understanding how cats show love. Glad the interview went well! I believe that sharing our positive attitude can help spread it. I know it helped me "keep it up" as it's become expected of me - and that's OK! It keeps me honest and helps me to "practice what I preach." I learned from the example of my Mom (82). She has 8 children, 25 grandchildren, and the great-grands seem to be growing in number monthly. Mom's been a widow since my Dad died of cancer when he was only 43 (1980.) My youngest sister was born the same year - she's 41. Rachel is staying with Mom for the next week because Mom just had her left shoulder replaced on Monday. She should be doing better by next week, buyt 2 of my brothers are taking next week and they can check her house for things that may need fixed or moved. After that, several grandchildren have offered to take a day off to fill out the next week. Everyone is vaccinated as there is no way anyone would put Mom in danger. Being separated for that first year was so hard for a family who are so close. I live in Utah while 70% of my family live in Texas. So I have been missing my family but because our love and faith is so strong we feel like we're together no matter how far apart we are. Zoom and face-time is fabulous! Mom is more technically savvy that I am! I said I could go on and on! The example of my Mom and my huge extended family helps me to always be thankful for my blessings. I'm thankful to get the opportunity to meet people like you who also know the power of positivity and prayer. Thank you so much.
I remember when this was built. It was so neat to see it again. It still looks great. I can't believe how nice the kitchen counters are after 4 years. I've been watching y'all since you began. Can't wait till y'all get to build my tiny. Still have the dream living on the lake in my old age in my little tiny home. Get to see this again brings back memories. Thanks for showing, Chris from Missouri
I love the wood but after a while I would probably paint the walls white to make it feel higher, the kitchen cabinets, and other features would stand out better.
I love the reverse loft . The space under the upper loft would be great for grand kids , fur babies, or even over-flow storage. Plus I love the LR section set-up like a quest room .
Ooo I like this one! Sp unique. My toddler could fit in the bottom perfectly. I would make the kitchen shorter and remove the table. I would put a couch next to the kitchen and a TV on the wall. That way it could put a bed in the living room area.
There is a lot of Wood! I would add some color to the walls and ceiling. Maybe some sort of color wash, so that the beauty of the wood would still come through. If I remember right, color washing involves diluting paint with water, but I'm not sure if I've got that right. Essentially, the knots in the would would still be visible, but it would lighten it up.
I *_love_* the reverse loft! I prefer the office space having all the windows vs. the bedroom but it's awesome you were able to do the same for both. Thanks for remembering shower shelves too. Genius interior!
That's a big one, for sure. I don't think I could do that lower bedroom, though. My knees couldn't take the crawling in and out of there. Love that little wood heater!
@@NadiaKilrick - I lived in a 26' travel trailer for 2 years. Was going to turned it into a nice thow. That was ok, but didn't like the location. I ended up renting a tiny 2 bdrm house (built in early 30's) in the country on an acre. And sold the travel trailer. Wish this place was mine, but at least I can do a lot of what I want with it.
Hi Randy and Amanda Love this tiny house I would only fix 1 thing make the bottom Bedroom just a bit bigger for a person to stand and walk up right while in the room other wise this was perfect
Agreed. You're going to be sitting in the upstairs, right? You don't need the extra foot head space, could have used that in the lower bedroom! I can't bend, so that lets me out at 6'!
It looked like there was a LOT of headspace when RAndy was upstairs in the "living room." I would take 2' of that and use it downstairs in the bedroom area.
I remember watching You build Sister Judith's house. It looks great after 4 years. The person who gets it will be lucky ! I Love You All @ I.T.H. !!!!!!!!
I would leave the living downstairs and install an elevated bed. When in use it sits above the living area and easy to get into. When not needed raise to the ceiling. The heat from the stove makes the fridge over work and this increases the power consumption, making the fridge wear out faster and prone to failing.
Beautiful home. I think I would lower the ceiling in the bathroom area to give more head room in loft. If you could live in one of your property’s then you could change the roof over the loft to be able to stand up This home has so much opportunity to change and move things around. Love it.
If a dealer sells a car as a demo after 10,000 klms - i think this house could be sold as a demo. Really great idea with the bedroom. I will use that idea one day. It’s a keeper - would sell like pancakes here at 80k - that’s a car. Canada 🇨🇦
Randy, you should keep this home!! I want to see you and Ace in a nice home because you work so hard and deserve a nice home. You and Ace would be so much more comfortable and have a permanent home with nice windows, cooking area etc. please keep it!!
Why didn't they make the room bigger and the living room a lil smaller to balance out? He had extra head room in living room, maybe a foot more for the room and foot less on living room... it'd be almost perfect.
I think I'd prefer the living room downstairs. More time is spent there. It would get annoying having to go up and down the stairs every time. At least with the bedroom upstairs, you only have to use the stairs a couple times a day. The living room would be bigger downstairs too because there would be no wall there that is currently closing in the bedroom.
I take out the woodstove and put the refrigerator where the stove is take out the range and put in an old fashion woodburning cookstove. You be able to heat the house and cook. Perfect for off grid the “bedroom“ I would use for a pantry. Great for putting extra food stuff some things away and you could also use it for a closet. The living room I would use as a living room/bedroom with a daybed. I Think that would be a perfect fit. The second loft would be good for when Company comes.
I dare anyone say that you guys don't do quality work!! Your craftsmanship is excellent! Love the wood and the reverse loft is such a great idea!! Such nice people as well!! Take care and I wish you both all the best from down here in Tampa,FL aka Satan's Armpit! hahaha Cheers!
Those exhaust fans are what they originally put in manufactured homes. There should be a chain so when you pull it the exterior flap opens and the fan runs.
Very nice. I like that you actually had the room to make the room under the loft a bit higher. I would want it lifted to have more headroom under the loft to use as a multipurpose living area and put a small wood burning stove in there. Instead of the smaller wall wood stove in the kitchen, a small wood cook stove/oven and have those portable double burner electric induction cooktops. I also need a soaking bathtub. Place it on a Mountain View piece of property, where I can grow orchards and food and raise some animals... that would be my heaven! I would never want to leave! 😍
I would be concerned about fitting couches and beds through small stairways and short doorways before you purchase them. Also, it!s not efficient to put a refrigerator next to a stove. Only plan on the wood stove for ambience. You can only use small pieces of wood stoked real often. The mini-split is a great idea.
I like the way that the living room is not a loft and it is so very nice. I like the way it is laid out in that house. I'm in my 60stand I can't get up and down the stairs. I like everything about this home so very much and you do a great job telling about the video. God bless you Karen Nichols Omaha Nebraska.
This is in the lead for my forever home, with an add a cottage…..to use as a bedroom with a larger bathroom for disabled to wheel into. I want to make the 1st bedroom into an office and exercise room to help my health needs. Please help me with Prayers for my dream to come true……and thanking God for bringing Randy and Amanda into my life. Their videos bring such joy and understanding, learning how super friendly Tennessee people are. I’m so far away in Ca., I would of definitely liked to visit and meet these two incredible people!
I have never seen such beautiful homes. The idea is you have and run with wow is magnificent I wish that we could get some of them back here in the Great Northwest I am in Oregon and we have some but nothing like what you build so if you ever think about making another plant out this way would be fantastic even if it was in Nevada or you know anywhere like that just part way across it would help a lot so keep up the great work and love watching you thanks for everything that you share with us. And by the way you crack me up both of you.
I love this size & floor plan! You guys are just on the wrong continent. We need a company like yours here. LOL In general I haven't been impressed by Tiny Homes in Scandinavia as they take the "minimalist" idea to the extreme & are very expensive, or they DIY build with cob walls etc.. I much prefer what is coming out of the US, Aust. & NZ. I have seen someone build hanging space & drawers in their downstairs bedroom with a queen bed. What I like is the height and width of the house, with only a few stairs up to the lounge area. I would just paint cupboards & ceiling to break up the wood look a bit more. Love these vids as it shows how diverse tiny homes can be and I get good ideas, even for floor plans for small cottages.
That is absolutely beautiful!! For the age, it still looks brand new! The craftsmanship is phenomenal. That is a GREAT price too! Would love to have that spacious home.
Thanks for the tour. This would be a dream come true for me. I live in Ontario Canada. This Craftsman is a wondrous size. I like the bedroom being downstairs and the living room being upstairs. I send a smile filled with gratitude to each of You for posting this.
I always wondered why people wouldn't just buy a 5th wheel also. The laws in Ohio (where I live) for tiny homes you have to have a minimum of 950 ft². I do love the reverse loft.
Randy you should get this beautiful home as you need it and more than deserve a really nice ITH and you can use the living room to entertain which as a business owner is a must! That being said this is the best one I’ve seen for us with me running a small biz from home and a 6’4” hubby. But we have no land and you have no lots available. 😂
I would lower that wall with spindles I guess in the living room, I would want it a bit open is all I’d charge, it’s a beautiful home. Love the bathroom space & the closet in it ❤️ I have 80 acres of land & this would be a great retirement home. A very well built home also. Randi, you’re so right about the price of wood now so it’s not a bad price for such a well built home. 👍❤️It sure WOW’S ya 😃❤️
I love it.... But if I were to buy one. I would like one smaller.... Same design...... At first I thought the down stairs bedroom was a lil awkward... Then I thought about it and said. Yeah it's only used for sleeping.... But I actually think I'd use the living room as a living room/ bed room. And the lower part for storage/ maybe office........ But I been watching your videos for about 2yrs.... And I love everything I see..... And seriously..... If I were to buy one. I definitely be calling you. I think you are great Randy.... And I think Amanda is too..... You guys make me laugh.... And you both love what you do and it shows in the quality of all the wirk and time you put in.
I love this floor plan. I'd have a sleeper sofa upstairs and only a twin or full bed in the bedroom. I wouldn't need the wood stove in DFW but a mini-split would be perfect. I'm looking for a place to put it and I'm saving my money. I'm 75 but still working full time and need to stay in the DFW area or I'd move to Tennessee.
Making the bed and changing sheets etc would be a real challenge in that setup. The ideal setup would be the make the floor adjustable in height but that is very difficult to do. The other solution would be murphy bed/bedsit/dual purpose room and have underfloor storage that pulls out.
Very nice. I could live in it with a few modifications. The price is good, but buying or leasing a lot and sewer, hook-ups, etc. if you didn't have your own land could be very pricey.
Oh my goodness...Perfect! Propane range, full refrigerator, railing to go up...bedroom on main floor....but, fixed income won't cut it for me...I pay $750 rent, but have no $$ for down payment. I NEED a tiny home!!! It is gorgeous. Bev in Maine
