After ditching her ex-husband and a corporate job, Cathy built a tiny home to live life on her own terms. Her whole perspective has shifted; it’s not about money. Tiny house living gives her freedom to do more of what she loves. Her tiny house plans: tinyhouseplans... ✨ Her 24' THOW is based on the 28' hOMe design by Gabriella & Andrew Morrison.
Cathy's new lifestyle hasn't been without its challenges. While parked on 2 Central Oregon farms, she's been reported by cranky neighbors. But this is in no way deters her from #tinyhouseonwheels life. Cathy realizes it's only a matter of time before zoning laws catch up.

Tiny house living gives Cathy freedom to do more of what she loves, and she wouldn't change for the world despite the parking issues that she's had. Her 24' THOW is based on the 28' hOMe design.

I'm impressed by Cathy's presence & persistence, as well as her tiny! Hope you & pup are all fine. Thanks for finding Cathy & her home to share with us! 🏡 🤩🏚

For me, the ideas in ru-vid.comUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

How miserable do you have to be to hate a beautiful little home style that is also helping keep elderly family near by instead of a cold home with strangers. ugh. this is a beautiful home. One day the right place will arrive and make it all worth it.

@LW-tb3cz 3 года назад

I live in a trailer park in B.C. with my tiny and someone called the city on me for not having proper paper work to park there even though they had no idea if I did or not. The city came out and I was fine. Never did find out who called. Likely someone called Karen!!!

@TinyHouseExpedition 3 года назад

😂 so glad it worked out!

@volb9817 3 года назад

@BeeKay4444 3 года назад

Good for you Cathy for confronting these whiny people. It is so unfortunate that some folks just can’t allow people freedoms and happiness. Tiny houses are the way of the future in part to save our planet. I wish you all the best in your new location. Your home is lovely and I cannot wait to build my own tiny house someday.

@jhingbangayan762 2 года назад

I love the bamboo ceiling, all the woods especially the floor❤️ warm and cozy. I hope by this time she already found a long term place to rent for her Tiny Home❤️🏡those who complained are just sad sad people.

@darlenemoak63 3 года назад

I have a refrigerator magnet with 2 dogs & the caption "People are Crazy". Neighbors who don't like tiny homes which in no way shape or form impact them & complain anyway, causing someone to move make no sense to me. But they will always exist. And I appreciate that this woman talked about the difficulty she ran into with finding a parking spot. I hope she doesn't have to move but I know if she does she'll be fine. Beautiful home!!

@TinyHouseExpedition 3 года назад

@1PhoenixRisen 3 года назад

@lizschultz1 Год назад

Sadly, many Tiny house folk become victims of the ignorannce and/or fear - such a shame. Wonderful that she remains resolute in staying Tiny because she's just so happy with her home and lifestyle. Best of luck.

@judith4158 2 года назад

She is my kind of woman, I wish tiny homes had been a thing when my girls where grown. Unfortunately, I was in the Midwest so never considered a single wide trailer due to tornados. I did down size at 74 to an ADU which could be smaller but was build on a daughters property so will be theirs one day. It's been over 7 yrs. and one of the best decisions ever. For the sense of community a tiny house village would be perfect but not an option here. We older women should never be afraid of making big changes. Just takes a positive attitude!

...she's the first one that's been completely honest about the washer|dryer combo. *slightly damp* I'm all for trying new things but, a separate washer and dryer is for me, for life. Funny how a Former Mortgage Broker *life goal* is to not have a mortgage. Someone, somewhere there's a Realtor selling homes wanting a tiny home without a mortgage. After years of selling *dream homes* to everyone else ✨. *Gotta love true transparency.* ♡

So much surface area and deep , kitchen sink!Love your stairs case, very safe, easy walking up/ down!Nice interior, walls& floor.Warm and cozy!Plenty of light from windows!🙂👍Counter, space, surfaces vs. cabinets .....good , choiceIn, reference to your living, arrangements, I totally agree, with not wanting to move back to suburbia and Cali! Moved from central vally up to WA state, in 2016.Retired with income.Looking , to get into a tiny home, soon! I can relate to your circumstances, I am ,living in an RV.Yes, it is kind of a learning curve.( shocker)But that is o.k., you will know when you find the right spot!

@janinafisher101 3 года назад

Suggestion for this lovely lady (or anyone contemplating putting their tiny somewhere) ...next time you move somewhere, go an meet all the neighbours, maybe along with the property owner, tell them what you are doing, and invite them to come and see your tiny (with masks on, of course!) Or do up a page with your story and colour photos of the inside of your tiny to give to each of them so they understand you and know you. Then they are less likely to be "anti tinies." It's a bit of effort, but less than having to move your house frequently. Good luck to this tinh-home owner. What lovely enthusiasm!

I live in Australia in a town that is predominantly white middle to upper class retirees and now due to covid professional families and couples. Lots of construction happening to build homes because the demand is high. We can’t and won’t afford to buy here but we have been lucky enough to build a granny flat in front of mums. Mum also converted her ground floor garage into a flat top. So there is 3 separate dwellings on our suburban block and no problems. Both sides neighbours have converted their ground floor dead areas into flats. This will become more common in this market.
