PARK COTTAGES - new line of TINY HOMES with wood burning stove and outdoor bar 

Did I miss the price of this one #1? Anyone know the price or the model name? Thanks.

Congratulations, that’s exactly what I want to do! Unfortunately here in Minnesota the land is so expensive it has slowed down my process. I can find affordable land in the middle of nowhere where but that’s not where I want to be. Expensive land defeats the purpose of the tiny home in my opinion. I’m excited for you! Good Luck!

Alabama here, but the big city part of AL. Sadly, no affordable lots to build. I find these homes a fantastic alternative to expensive, regular new homes.

ALL of their homes can suit elderly or disability needs. You can literally choose one floorplan, the porch of another, the loft of another, the siding of another, the cabinets from another. You can add ramps as well as stairs, buy additional matching sheds and carports for storage so you don't need lofts...whatever you want, they will do. It's just a case of buying a home from the plans of your choice, as opposed to buying one of the already constructed lot display models he tours, that tend to be a little lower in price due to having had potential customers looking through them. I know you may say you already know that, but it's important to point this out because there is no such thing as a "disabled" house. Some builders may well choose to gravitate towards older or mobility limited customers, however, that's a very specific and limited customer base and probably not the best long term business plan. The reason for this is by the time a current home is no longer suitable for an older person to manage, their own care is also beyond their management, at which point, no "home" is going to provide the care and assistance they need on it's own, what they require then is a carer or full time nursing. Most elderly people with typical age related limitations, cope perfectly well in the exact same home, but with minor alterations, such as stair lifts to manage stairs, and walk in showers instead of bathtubs. Age doesn't generally require a whole new "house" is my point. It generally only requires cosmetic changes or different furniture. Does that make sense? When it comes to disability gadgets, gizmos, adaptations, ideas etc, you're talking a whole realm of Inventions that no one house can possibly accommodate, and that's why there are very few and far between builders who specifically build homes for disabled people from scratch. Older people generally only opt for no stairs, that's the most obvious change someone would prefer as they age, across the board, but one level homes have existed since we moved out of caves. So that's older people catered to already. When it comes to general age related difficulties, most things are made easier or safer without needing a whole new building. Electric beds or chairs that recline, sit up, or even help you into a standing position, are just a furniture swap. Grab rails and better camera or alarm based features are simple to fit for better peace of mind when it comes to safety. Sometimes the last thing an elderly person needs is to be ousted from their family home, as it's years of familiarity and memories serve far more in terms of psychological comfort and reassurance, than giving it up simply because they have one or more spare bedrooms. Nothing declines quality of life faster than loneliness and isolation. Moving away from a neighbourhood, friends, doctors, services and all they've ever known can do more harm than good. Moving into a smaller home may also limit the amount of visitors that can drop in to keep them company or even stay for a few days or weeks to visit with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Downsizing by choice in early retirement may be a fun, new direction to take in your 60's, but needing to do so for your health in your 70's+ can be a huge wrench emotionally. What older people need these days but tend to have far less of, is connection with family and friends, and that serves a way more important role than any home can. My Dad is 90, and misses my Mum enormously...like, really badly! If he had a tiny house to just sit in, I think he'd lose his mind completely. But his extra bedrooms give him one for my Brother, to live in as his carer, one is his craft room, and one is his painting studio. He has many rooms to potter around and we keep him topped up with art and craft supplies, jigsaws, puzzles, model building supplies, books, music, films, family videos etc. Every day he writes out an old song from the 1930's onwards, and changes the lyrics slightly to fit around him and my Mum. He writes poems, draws and paints, and is currently making me a miniature wooden bow top gypsy caravan model from scratch. When it comes to disability, of any age, well, where do you start? The range of options is staggering! I had no idea until I had my son who had his own health difficulties. We moved into a home that had been adapted for a former occupant with disabilities, and the problem is those things are SO SPECIFIC, that they really narrow down the people that can benefit from them, and create a home that suits fewer people rather than more. For example, the shower was fitted with grab rails and a seat which was perfect for the previous man who lived there. Whereas my son had a very rare type of childhood epilepsy. At age two they could not stop a seizure in him that persisted for hours, despite giving him enough drugs to knock out a rhino! They were forced to induce a coma, to give his little brain a rest. We were told he'd likely die, but miraculously, he pulled through. However, he could no longer coordinate to walk, get in and out of bed, climb stair, feed himself, use the toilet or stand up to be lifted out of the bath. The shower was completely useless for him. It had to be ripped out and made 2½ bigger, with half height walls around it, to give us room to put him into a shower wheelchair, be able to wheel him in and out safely, and be able to operate the controls and have easy access to reach over to wash him. Another example was both the bathroom and kitchen sinks were not fixed in place and had no storage underneath. Instead they operated by a crank that could lower and raise the height of the actual sink to fit over the lap of the previous man as he sat in his wheelchair. Not being fixed meant not being fully splash proof as they couldn't be sealed all round to the wall. There were also no attached countertops surrounding any of the sinks, making access to things being further away from me than I would otherwise have wanted at hand to help me with my son. Washing dishes was a nightmare because I had to be extra careful not to splash water. So these examples, and there are tons more such examples, that make it IMPOSSIBLE to create a perfect disability home. What is a help to one patient is a hindrance to another, and possibly even puts them at risk. I say this because you may be approaching this stage of life yourself, or a parent may, and you may be needing to sort out a home with these potential needs in place. But for you, or anyone else reading this, ALL HOMES are suitable for all people. I would hate for anyone to believe that they need to buy a purpose built specialist "house", no doubt at a specialist price tag to make up for their select customer audience! *Any house, any four walls and a roof is suitable for a disabled or elderly person.* Whereas the complete opposite is not true, no purposely built disabled house is universally suitable let alone safe. Many people pull out bathtubs to make room for showers, which may be a Godsend initially, until such times as that person needs assistance to shower. Age related ailments tend to get worse over time, so what works now may not work after a hip replacement, fall, heart attack or stroke. Any house already complete will need fixtures and fittings replaced, and any house you order from scratch can be custom fitted to your requirements from the get go. Wheelchairs do not just require wider hallways and doorways, they also require full 360⁰ rotation clearance, and if you're hiring a paid carer or nurse, by law, certain things have to be considered to make their job easier, safer and without potentially causing them harm, for example forcing them to lift a wheelchair to turn into a room rather than having the room to curve in naturally. Does that make sense? A tiny house bathroom would be a logistical nightmare for a carer and they may well refuse to work in such conditions because their agency won't be covered by insurance if they get a work related strain, or you sue for an accident to the patient. It's a whole "thing". Way more than you might ever consider if you're just on the start of this journey. As soon as carers or nurses enter the picture, the home becomes a place of employment and all manner of health and safety workplace rules apply. So for you if it applies, or anyone drawn to your comment because it applies to them, these are only examples I've given from my family to open up your understanding of how these things may seem simple solutions in the beginning. Certainly for age related ailments simple solutions are often all that's needed, no steps or stairs, adding ramps and stair lifts if stairs are present, extra grab rails in bathrooms, and electric powered furniture can really change the quality of a person's later years and enable them to continue to feel independent in their own home. Don't ever feel you are "invisible" especially when it comes to viewing homes not automatically built with "you" in mind. It wouldn't make much business sense for a builder to mass produce such homes in advance or cater only to disabled customers. But any builder worth their salt can omit a bath and make the shower larger if that would better suit your needs, right? Just request these things when you choose paint colours and tiles etc. And any home already built can be adapted to your specific needs. ALL homes are built with ALL of us in mind... including YOU and YOUR unique needs. ❤

Yeah, I can imagine a few not so ideal situations with that one.😆

I think the only thing you could do better is offer the homes with land,as a package deal.

When I was newly married, my husband and I were shopping and I found a salmon suit coat and told him he needed it. My husband is not afraid of colour, he got me wearing it, but he wondered if he would get away with wearing it to work. He got away with it. Most people loved it!

I've said the same for decades ~ men look very handsome when they add some cheerful color dress shirts, esp., to their wardrobes.

Mr. Tiny, on the second home in the bedroom, where is the closet?

Don't he, though 😂

Has anyone else noticed Mr. Tiny coordinates his clothing with the home he is showing?

This!

I could see making a greenhouse in the middle, in place of the porch.

That was my first thought. I wouldn't want to go outside in the freezing temps or the rain just to go to bed or the bathroom.

You could easily enclose.

It was mainly designed for vacation, parties, etc.,.

I also like the flexibility of home #4
