Retired Teacher's Single Level Tiny House 

I think your gorgeous Grandma may have just convinced me to do the same. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

Where is this outside of Austin? Would love to know so I can move there. I'm retired too and in m 60's.

I bet all of her students loved her!

She has a beautiful home. I wish she'd share which model tiny home she has, and where to buy them.

She is soooo cute! And her home is beautiful😍 Honi is a doll!!!

Aww, I am so glad I discovered your sister Charlene today. You too early so lucky to have each other!! She and her house are both adorable!!🙂

Hi, I would love to know the model and builder of her home. I absolutely love her home and want to find one just like hers!

Sister can you tell us where we can find the name of the company who built this home and the model of this home! Thanks

Wow, are you ever lucky! I WISH I had a sister like Charlene.

I would love to know the company name that made this home.. or the style name of home.

I agree 1000% this home is perfect!

It’s currently for sale!

@@juliananton7800Did she pass away?

Can it be moved to Florida?

I think the same!😂❤

My favorite

hell nah bruh FUCK ms dumbnam

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Geometry is a sin?? Who woulda thought??...

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ - what the hell are you talking about? There’s nothing wrong with being a teacher. I think it’s one of the most respectable professions there is.

@Susan Novak This isn't about the lady on the video. These people spam this pointless shxt in random comment sections.

She seems like the math teacher kids need to learn without feeling intimidated. I bet she made the subject interesting, and made kids want to come to class.

She sounds a little bit like Paula Deen

Lovely home, and this good lady has sold me.

Yes she’s a natural hostess ! 💁🏻‍♀️☀️💕

Agree.

Agree 100%

Recreational resort cottages have this model. They have a RU-vid channel.

Also Mr. Tiny it’s called the clifthaven I think

Yes the cliffhaven, but who was the person her did her curtains?

@@dayde22 Thank you, so much!

@@jenniferlee7167 Thank you, I found it!

There are no "aging in place" features, so I'm not sure what that does for many seniors (e.g. space to turn around with a walker when you're in the kitchen, bathroom, or beside the bed). Also, the associated costs (e.g. site rent and utilities with no solar offset) are ever-escalating. How does that work on a tight budget? There are much more cost effective, small, and senior-friendly homes than mobiles like these, and with better loan rates.

A really remarkable Lady. Bless Her results and Life.💕

@@sleuththewild Very important things to think about! I always plan for my (eventual) wheelchair and ramp. I even plan where I can place handholds.

@@snowygirl131 I think about "aging" amenities in a home as well. At 76, I can no longer ignore some of the physical impairments that may come with advancing years. And while I do love the concept of tiny homes and "compact" living, I'm not sure if it's right for me. I tend to lean toward "senior communities" that offer different stages...like independent living, assisted living, and memory care if needed.

@@sleuththewild - you are absolutely correct on each point you bring up. I’ve been blessed with reasonably good health and have no mobility issues. Should the day come when I physically can’t live independently, I’ll have to make a change- which may mean that I have to give up my tiny home. 😔

Me too...some are so boxy I can't even watch the video...hitting heads on lofts and the like. ; )

Yes, best I've ever seen.

What is the name of this tiny home , or model im looking to purchase one to put on my daughters property

Love her home and she does seem like a person you’re going to enjoy being around . Happy retirement Honi.☺️

One of my favorites too ! I love the wood and how cozy and comfortable it seems 😌

Absolutely 💯 !!!!! She's a sweetheart and her home is gorgeous !!!!! 😍

I know what you mean. I was smiling my face off the whole time. Neat lady !!

Does she say who the builder is - or what model? Super design.

@@gardenlevel7385 I think Recreation Resort Cottages in Texas has an Oasis model.

So spot on

@@erikaamerica4546 Thanks!

I was going to say the same. Looks like Oak Creek/RRC.

Thank you Adele for your kind words 💙

How much does a tiny home like this cost?

@@cdunham4973 this home is gorgeous clean neat spacious and i love her spunk she is awesome. Im a school principal and teacher and i just see myself in her.

Agree!

At a leisurely minimum... she should be a buyer's rep, because she's already living in what we want... and nobody would ever dare to try to put something cheap past her.. she would stop it! What is love?

A teacher indeed. Very valuable information. I soaked it all in.

Wow. Fantastic home and explanation.

Agreed! No loft means no navigating stairs or a ladder, and the high ceilings without loft space really increase the sense of spaciousness in Charlene's build. 😊

Everything you said!!!!!!!!

Aloha and thank you so much Charlene for sharing your beautiful tiny home. You did such a great job explaining all the important factors on your decisions and covering all the W's, which makes total sense! Your such a wonderful sweet person and congratulations on your retirement! I myself have been watching a lot of videos and want to purchase and live in a tiny home community and would have no problems since I live in a small 1 bedroom condo 453 sq. ft. net living space on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. We have a couple of dear friends that are in retirement here and in Colorado that want to retire and find a tiny home community and get a home to accommodate us either living in Texas or Florida. Would love to stay in touch with you if you don't mine because your taste in your home furnishings and color palette are so similar to our style here in Hawaii with the greenery and outdoor living. I did see that Platinum Cottages is the manufacturer and that your model is called the Waterloo. Much Mahalo - KimBer

That's because it's not a tiny house.

@@marciasamuels5805 Yes it is; her place is 399 sq. ft. Anything under 400 sq. ft. qualifies as a tiny home.

I have never seen RU-vid leave a comment 🤠

I totally agree Carolyn! What smart, forward thinking, wise and Lovely Lady. I look forward to seeing more from her. Cheers from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 xx

Smart Lady! Thank you

She is precious, smart articulate and has given such good advice. You are a lucky granddaughter. ☺️

That is because she THINKS about what she needs, and wants, and works for her needs. When you think, you don't just aimlessly wander through life expecting things to turn out well for you. She thinks...she plans...and doesn't just jump in impulsively.

💙

Yes! I was thinking, this is huge for a tiny home.

I wouldn’t have even thought of that, but it would be wasted space!

🏆

Ceiling height 👍🏼😀 interior decor. 😲

I agree with you, this is the first tiny home that I’ve ever seen that actually feels like a “regular”home! Most of the time, it seems that they all have a loft which I definitely wouldn’t want & then the rest of the home feels more like a camper or mobile home, especially the bathrooms in them! I dunno…I just loved everything about this one with ALL of the upgrades that she did! I could easily live in this charming little home with nice neighbors!!!

​@@AnitasLoveify You are probably confusing tiny homes ON WHEELS with this home. If a tiny home is to be towed (moved) often for travel, then road laws require it to be no more than 8.5 feet wide. Wider than 8 feet 6 inches and you must have a permit and special towing. So if you have looked at a lot of tiny houses ON WHEELS they will always be only 8.5 feet wide, which is fairly restricting to room size. Also the video is using a distortion camera to film this. The same kind of camera they use for real Estate photos. You will notice how large the front windows look in the first second of the video 0:01 especially the window closest to the camera. Now look at the front windows at 0:11 second mark (click the number to take you to that time) the windows look much narrower when photographed with the hovering drone camera. No distortion. The windows are likely 29 or 30 inches wide each, making those 3 front windows only 8 or 9 feet and you can tell that too, at 12:09 when you can see the 2 seater couch (which is likely 6 or 7 feet long) is almost the length of the window width. In 'real life' this house WILL look smaller. One more distortion and I will get to my point in all this. The closer a thing is to the camera the larger (more distorted) it will be. Look at the television at 12:02 and then look at the television at 11:21. Good examples of the 'distortion' camera. ---- I told you all that just to tell you THIS. If you are looking for something compact, but not as cramped as a Tiny House On Wheels (THOW) look online for 'Park Models'. Which is basically what this woman has. You will find a ZILLION companies across the U.S. (I hope you are in the U.S.) that want to sell you a Park Model and you could spend the next two days solid looking at Park Model floor plans (and I LOVE looking at floor plans) and a Park Model could be the small, but not TOO small that you are looking for. --- May I suggest one more thing. I don't know where you live (I live in Florida) but there is a tiny house company in Fresno California that builds _some_ of their Tiny Houses at 10 feet wide, for people who won't be moving their houses much. It's called California Tiny House. Look them up, and go to their instagram page. You will SEE what a difference that extra foot and a half makes to the size of the rooms. On their instagram page click on a picture, it will tell you exactly how long and how wide the house is, then scroll right to see multiple pictures of that model. Also search 'California Tiny House youtube' to find their youtube channel and they have videos of the interiors, and again, they tell you the length and the width in the description. You can really see the difference in the 10 foot wide ones. ---- I hope this helps. :o)

@@kathleenr4047 Wow!! Thank you for the wealth of information/ knowledge. I sincerely appreciate it.

@@kathleenr4047 Hi! Thank you! That was a lot of info but I’m gonna check it all out!

Roll Tide

I want a place like this. The last 2 places I have purchased have been townhomes. I have no yard , 16 stairs. I can’t handle it any more

Is there a place near WinterGarden, FL. She says model.

I already haveU-Tube e on tv and it’s free why do you want 54.99??? If that’s the case cancel

Where is this tiny home community and who built this tiny home. So surprised she gives no information.

How did you even begin your tiny home community search?

Would love to know how much lot rent is. This is important to know since most people are downsizing to make home more affordable. Thanks

What do s this community? I e moved to Austin in July and have been looking for a community. Only one Je keeps popping up, but i don’t think it’s th same one. Please share the name

I love my outdoor living space.

@@cdunham4973 may I inquire the maker of this home? It is absolutely gorgeous 😍

@@p.jacobs5588Thank you so much. The builder was Platinum Cottages located in Athens, Texas (south of Dallas.) However, I understand that there are other TH manufacturers who build the same model. If you Messenger me, I’ll send you a copy of the blueprint which includes the model number.

@@cdunham4973 I think you probably just sold ALOT of homes for Platinum Cottages 🙂without even knowing it! I would love to have the blueprint info..hate to be a copycat. But your design is perfect!

@@susangibson7977-unfortunately, I’ve been unable to send it out thru RU-vid. However, if you will contact me via “Messenger” I can help you.

I don't think she decimated it, at all. I found her to be articulate and well-reasoned in both her approach to tiny home living and in her house design.

@@LQOTW I'm sure she meant disseminated. Auto correct is not always kind. 😂

Yes indeed!

Perfectly wonderful. C.A.H.

I recognize this model too ‘ 😊

Thank you!

I am so sorry for your loss

Absolutely!

Yes, I noticed that too. She seems like someone who would be very family oriented and who would love her family deeply. I'd love to have her as a neighbor.

Thnx for Greattour...I woildnt change ...Anything

Beautiful little house. I think I could live in one but I would downsize the kitchen. I don't like cooking or entertaining. I could live with a mini fridge, a microwave, a toaster oven and little sink.

@@skooliecarol8542 : Do you know WHERE this is outside of Austin?

@@janephillips3627 the pictures look like Village Farm Austin
