Tiny home packs storage stairs, 2 lofts, tub in 136 sq ft 

Just sayin', (since I'm no expert) I would not have a lip on the understair compartments... I would like things in spring-loaded drawers, especially the bottom ones for senior people, OR even plastic bins to simply slide in/out on the shelves. The drawer/cabinet fronts can have strong magnets to keep them closed while traveling. I do like the hatch @the back of the tub- clever!

Michelle Castañeda have you desinged your home make videos we would love to see

William Burge just curious how the building is going for the homeless?

probably bullshit.

Where at? Must be done or much progress.....if you went ahead with it, would be nice to see your progress.........

You're a good egg, William.

William Burge Bless you!

hi

Whitney Sews I also like this design aim physically challenged. Stairs are very hard for me. If anyone had seen a handicapped tiny home please reach out to me I would appreciate your help.Our home was handicapped accessable , very nice.

pinterest has many designs for handicapped accessible tiny houses.

She was super smart there, and through the shower no less, I would never have thought of that. Makes sense, what else do you use it for but keeping water in??

They are too small to need more than one exit! Unless the sleeping space is isolated, and in this case, the sleeping space has no exit! If it caught on fire (look at all the flammable wood!) the person upstairs would be dead..from smoke.

the more popular it gets, they will find a way to tax us

Buff82yrOldMan Too true indeed!!

namedcreekrocks I agree, it is not so much the taxing but the frivolous use of the money that I oppose!!

seven2heaven No permanent structure or amenities.

seven2heaven I've seen tiny houses with tags on them just as on motor vehicles. So.. yeah, they are taxed.

this is awesome! how much would it cost to make one of these things? do You build them and sell them.

I'm getting ready to build a small 8x16 model this summer for $29,000 with new appliances and solar backup power.

Tom Cook hi Tom, i subscribed to your channel, maybe in the future I can acquire your services? I too want to own a tiny house. enjoyed your greenhouse videos

Incredible tiny homes check them out. They beat all pricing with a custom quality build.

Dito, as long as I can get a decent internet hookup :D

good point.

Like the design and use of stair space yet that could also be one or 2 hinged openings That would be larger under the stairs. And as mentioned the button that took wall space. I would love it if in my area a few people could get together on builds. Example Like 3 or 4 who get together and each assist on each others and share our gifts. Our tiny habitat with humanity in mind. It's easier building with partners.

judy hobday aww that was so nice of you!

judy hobday The reason why many of these restrictions exist is because people don't want their neighborhoods turning into trailer parks.

I know this is old comment, but are you saying you can't build second home on your own property?

@@heartlandranchtv4943 I think that it's more to do with the electric and gas companies not wanting anyone to live off grid!!!

NegraMonroe Go to the search bar here on YT and type in ''Tiny Home'' and check out the 2nd or 3rd video from the top. It's a couple who build one for aprox. 24k and it's got a full size kitchen and fridge etc and it's what I plan to model my future tiny house after. Hope you enjoy it! =)

SimplyGeneric hey, thanks! :) sounds good!

+NegraMonroe macha

Thought your comment about the tub was interesting; you should also check out the "Sakura" House by Minimaliste, here on youtube. Definitely one I enjoyed, though definitely a larger home than this one, by comparison (380 sq feet).

Tub? Measure a tub in a regular house, it's bigger that 40 inches. I'd call that a basin.

Nice think

Ikscdm Degi agreed

agree...

do you still happen to have the plans for this tiny home??

Julie is this your tiny home..??

Yeah it was..... I loved it. 8 sold it after a year though. Being single and driving it was a bit of a hassle...... you Need a spotter when driving. It was my place of solace. I now have a converted 19 ft (front to back) short city bus that I converted. Easier to haul.... less gas. I miss the house ,,,,,b UT I will design another one day

Nicks Customs lol

Yes, but all those windows won't.

Takes too long to fasten the folding deck up against the door.

Turn off that tv...lol

Bro it’s 2020 now and you said that 4 years ago

+Nathan Fondren Yeah but make sure you build in the right place - people who want all that money invent BS codes that claim this is unsafe -_-

+Nathan Fondren No doubt the government and bankers are putting a stop to this.

+Ascension5dEarth Neither care. Hell governments like these because it gives homeless and poor people housing. It's the real estate people who are getting their jimmies rustled. They'll try and keep the 'old system' which is a bit of a pain in some areas to work around. Eventually though building codes and classification will need to be updated. Microhomes just make too much sense in a world where most people spend their lives outside or on their computer. Those into real estate who are willing to hop on the trend will happily convert smaller, less desirable areas into micro homes and shops. I saw someone who converted an abandoned mall into micro homes, shops, a market, and restaurants. I don't think I've ever seen some place so great to live.

+Hapie “Real Name” Star You're kidding, right? Government doesn't like these kind of things, because it makes people less dependent on them. That's what they want. The more dependent you are, the more they have control over you. Governments can say all they want, that they are doing what they can to care for the Homeless, with Shelters and Soup Kitchens. But those places often have limits to how long you can stay, and none of them "Help" the Homeless in getting off the Streets. There are even places where people are being sued by their cities for Gardening on their own Property! Why? Because you are growing "Free Food" and you are not being dependent on paying them for Food...

Phoenix Fire Governments don't give a fuck to be honest. It's the meddling, obnoxious cunts at the local level that cause problems. And of course lobbyists seeking profits. Congress couldn't give a flying fuck if you had your house on wheels or built your foundation two feet or three feet from the property line. Powertripping neighbors on the other hand... Most people don't do shit in their local governemnt. So all that's left are the people who are bored, too toxic to do charity work or anything of the sort, generally unskilled, and want a powertrip. It's no wonder that cities and towns tend to be authoritarian when the only members of the public who willingly participate are the worthless purpose-seeking asses. Shelters, soup kitchens, etc. are often charity run... Usually by churches or have a church at least somewhat involved. That's the church just being a dick and wanting to keep its followers down. Absolutely nothing new here. As for government owned ones, there could be better facilities and help if it weren't for assholes going "ohmergad welfare is hitler" and "social Darwinism is the best policy" corrupting any efforts. Just look at the fight for healthcare. lobbyists and the media fought tooth and nail to make sure the U.S. wouldn't get free healthcare. Who does this benefit, no one but a handful of insurance fuckers. But the media managed to convince the public that it was unconstitutional, "gateway to communism", degrading, going to put the country in debt (but lets buy a few more F-35s while were at it), etc.. That last bit is lobbyists. Government doesn't make food. That would be farming corporations, super-market companies, etc. all with vested interest in keeping you dependent on them. Not government, companies. If citizens would stop being so apathetic and ridiculous about their government at local, state, and federal levels we could actually get something done. People need to stop voting for people who flip flop on issues depending on who bought a pony for their daughter's birthday. They also need to stop only participating whenever an issue arises. Reactionary governments are terrible governments. But, alas, we live in a world where a sizeable portion of the population would vote for a man who thinks Mexico will build a wall with the U.S. and vote for a woman who literally is a politician for hire.

Kristen. Where did you find the video "Fully-customized, modular solar house is 3D printed prefab" I'd like to contact the designer. He's got a great idea.

toxic environment? Were you planning on eating the cabinets in a 5th wheel?

screaminglegs Again. Were they planning on eating the cabinets? Fuckin' hippies.

Automatic No Static Oh oh I can do this too.... Uneducated Neanderthal. :)

screaminglegs You know when they build those little homes they use glues and other materials to put things together, they even state they use products purchased from RV suppliers. Also Modern RV's are more Home like with more space and a 1/3rd of the weight of most little homes I have had the pleasure to see. A 27 foot little home in the video weighed in at over 10,000 pounds... look up what a 27 foot, winterized 5th wheel weighs in at.... wow. Appears somewhere between F,ing Hippies and Uneducated Neanderthal may fit here.

"Tiny houses are a form of civil disobedience." Jay Shafer

reachforacreech You are catching on.....

Yes

@@anninriverside755 Not really. You can pretty easily stick build a house AND hire labor for around $75-$100/sqft. So 1,000sqft comes out to $75k-$100k. These tiny houses are usually 500sqft or less. The easily portable arguement doesn't hold water in actual practice as most require a one ton ( or larger) to pull them ( legally anyway) which means once parked most will never move again unless sold.

House

@@anninriverside755 > folds up.

You can use shipping containers that are 40x8x8 too and pay less than 5k to get them set up bare bones (yourself). Add whatever inside that makes you happy for however much more. Stack them, add a 20 footer on top in a cross pattern and you could manage to place them hillside. The possibilities are endless there. And you purchase the next one as you can afford it.

Debbie Howard Try contacting Jason at Molecule Tiny Homes moleculehomes@gmail.com Best of luck.

No lie! I've lived in an 8x32' trailer. Wintertime, under freezing temps, you let the faucet (I only had one) drip @ night, even w/insulation wrapped around the exposed pipes. And, eventually, we installed an easy access shut off valve for minus digit temps. The wind chill in KS is pretty bad.

The Dutch door! also smart for business on the go!

I feel the same way about this. I like the coziness and the savings on utilities, etc, but the "green" aspect is a snooze for me. I frankly don't believe all of the doomsday prophets going on about how toxic this or that is for the that or this.

Trenny Hering Yeah seriously, just the cost savings of living a simpler life is reason enough, no need to invent bs reasons to do something. It looks good, feels homey, and probably smells good too. No other justification needed.

There really isn't much green about a house like this if in any climate requiring moderate heating or cooling loads. It's not insulated well. There is no thermal break from the exposed steel frame to floor? Rigid insulation needs to be on the outside of the frame to be effective. There are two types of skylights. Those that have not leaked yet and those that have. Sure, it may not use a lot of energy because it's small but it should use next to nothing. These complaints aren't just with this house. I've yet to see a house on a trailer that is insulated properly. The greenest tiny house is one that is packed next to 100 others in a single structure with only half or a 3rd of the exterior square footage exposed to the elements.

Scott Legendre If they are using a solar system for heat and ac, then it doesn't really matter too terribly much, but the most efficient house you can build is an earthship style house, underground on 3 sides, insulated roof, stone floor with south facing sloped windows on the exterior side of the house.

hzuiel Kind of takes away from mobility if it's underground. :) I doubt one solar panel is going to supply enough electricity to heat or air condition the space. You bring up a common problem seen with efficiency gains. When we find solutions like LED bulbs that drastically reduce energy use, we end up installing 5 times as many of them, for no actual efficiency gains. If we build with no insulation and install 20 PV panels to supply enough electricity to make the system work, are we really improving anything? The key is to building tight with high R-values. Then we don't need much energy regardless of what we use and systems can be minimized.

Flush toilets are great... if you have a septic tank system. This means the county gets involved, then questions about "minimum house size". Being self contained, less regulation like septic, minimum house size, grid hook up. Incinolet electric toilet is an alternative, but need lots of electricity. I plan to retire someday, but ideal is enough space to allow two or three tiny homes to park. Enough income ($200/mo) from parking space to offset my annual taxes (sigh, my current place is 1.5 acres -- but $8000 a year in tax is a retirement killed on limited income. Austin TX).

Tom Walter I hadn't thought about the county thing. We a have motorhome, which we park at Lake Texoma year round. I like the full hookups, plus they have a dump station for the folks who were not able to get a full hook up slot. I just think that the compost toilet is gross. I've heard that the incinerator toilets are smelly. My husband and I would like to live on Texoma in the winters, and we want to either have a tiny house or a park model. The bathroom situation is the only thing that keeps me from jumping on board with the tiny house right now. Now that we are retired, locking up this 3,300 sq ft monster and not heating and cooling it for long stretches at a time is very attractive to us.

Fully agree on compost toilets. Incinolets do need to be vented. Minimum open window, sealed bathroom door. Hmm fresh veggy's from the garden, and fresh fish for diner would be perfect.

Tom Walter Sooo perfect! All that is holding us back is us! /:o)

the problem is that these tiny houses are "illegal" as houses - they are treated as RVs... therefore, they are not set up to use the city water supply.

Damien Zellers There are ways of cutting down the cost by reclaiming material from construction sites or whoever offers it for free or cheap, and by building it yourself.

yes that would be a smart way to build it

Damien Zellers Less than 200x on wheels.

Damien Zellers Either way this man used brand new wood from a retailer and added his labor in which justifies the price even though that's absurd.

Damien Zellers I was going to say what you said, until you said it. Part of the purpose of having a smaller home is to avoid a mortgage. If you made something like this yourself, you avoid the overcost of crazy companies like this. Not that they're doing bad work--just that it costs way more than someone building it themselves.

That is my only problem with this guy. He is a bit of a hippie, along with that Derek Deek dude (can't remember the name), they are obsessed with wood = natural and everything else is 'unnatural' which, is funny because I'm pretty sure a dead wood/stick built home on a metal trailer isn't natural either.

+VanyelK why is that a problem

There are probably greener/low VOC alternatives by now. I hope!

They defiantly could've did a better selection of videos. But it was interesting seeing them talk about tiny homes.

CoaS Gaming I honestly don't think that many common thieves see the value of dollar panels

Snow does not stay on a steel roof for very long. They're very popular in New England.

Hmm, he mentions sealing the inside with mineral oil. I wonder it that goes for the outside as well? It's a preference thing, since you can easily do whatever you like. Some plywoods/OSB's are also graded to withstand the elements as they come, but I doubt that's what's used here, as it seems he wants to avoid all possible toxins.

Mark M I live on the Canadian border where it snows heavily. This house wouldn’t last one winter here.

What? 75k? Are you serious? Nooooo....
