I just felt happy for her when she said that her ex-husband helped her build the house. We don't know her story about why things didn't work out but his humane gesture shown is wonderful. Thanks to her friend who wanted her to be safe. God bless you all.

Tiny homes like that are "illegal" because they can't be taxed. Let's be honest - the more we find ways to live off the land and less off of the government, the more restrictions they will create to expand their reach. That's why there are restrictions with farming, using rain water, solar panels, cannabis, etc. Even though tiny living is not for me, I love watching videos like this to get more storage ideas and ways to live off the land to save as much €$£ as possible! I really enjoyed this video with Christine's candor and her peaceful voice. Thanks so much for sharing!! ❤️

@PandawdyBob It boils down to if the home can or cannot be taxed. If it can, there are certain codes/restrictions the homeowner must adhere to - which creates a bit of a taxation trail so the government can make money via taxes accordingly.

@Bev Webs - I apologize if you feel I was being a hater. I'm not hating on this woman's tiny home. Honestly, I think it's awesome and super cute. I'm hating on the fact that the government has grown so large that this woman's home is deemed "illegal" - solely because it can't be taxed, and it's a shame. Tiny homes, in my opinion, can be a solution to homelessness, but since they can't be taxed...

Hi my name is Leslye. And I am a dental assistant. Retired now. I was forced into retirement due to health reasons. But not long after that I discovered tiny living. I was looking for a way to live cheaper since I was under 50 yrs when I had to stop working. You are a very smart lady. You have secured you financial future. Having a home paid for means a lot as we age. I ended up buying a little land and we are converting a barn. Your home is beautiful. Looks very comfortable. Don’t let anyone tell you your home is illegal. You spent hard earned money on it and are living well. You pay your taxes so why should anyone have the right to tell you that a home has to be a certain size. This war on tiny homes needs to stop because plenty of people are buying the homes being built. And if they want to pay for a big home it’s their business just as it’s your to live tiny. A home is a home no matter the size. I hope you never encounter any problems. Enjoy your home. Leslye

@bodukey9047

My son is a firefighter. I believe a lot of the tax issues aren’t necessarily greed driven but perhaps more practical. When we live in a city or town our taxes pay for basic utilities, public services (police, fire,rescue) and road maintenance. Schools etc also are part of a community and add to the tax bill. So perhaps having people living in a town and paying some sort of land tax might help.

Why should Seniors and Amish pay for families living with 6 or more kids, using property owners to pay their school bills? Every renter with children should have to contribute to their kids education. They should have it taken from their taxes and wages. If you are on welfare you should be required to work at the school your children attend until you are legitimately working and pay for your kids. Seniors, disabled vets and disabled individuals should be exempt from school taxes (unless they are continuing to create school age children). They should not be forced from their homes to support others.

You haven't thought that through very well. This lady has a plan to move into a community, communities have infrastructure, hence taxes; she isn't living in a community. People like you piss me off. Almost every person I have seen on RU-vid, doing this, is living on borrowed land, essentially squatting, not paying their way, and bragging the virtues of tiny-home, tax free living, all the while living on land that someone else is taxed on. As I said, this lady is staying where she is temporarily, but a lot of single, younger people, living in tiny homes, living the van life, and being nomadic, extol the beauty of the way they live, sticking it to the man, and genuinely thinking that they're creating a new and better way, all the time, living on the charity of those that let them squat.

I'm loving these videos! what a nice story and I really hope that Christine will have a great life in that tiny house! I ended up going in a similar but yet different direction myself. I live in the third largest city in Sweden (read: "it's a small city") ;). But I opted for a tiny apartment of 21m2 (226 square feet). I saved up and bought it cash and now I can enjoy a minimalistic lifestyle in a beautiful transformable space with all modern comforts one could think of (hot shower, flush toilet, internet, recycling etc.). Everything is included in the rent (internet, tv, phone, insurance, electricity, heating, recycling etc) with a total of 140$/mo. This will increase by 1-2$ every year (to keep up with inflation), but all in all, the rent will never weigh me down financially. I am super happy with finding a space like this which enables me to do so much more with life other than working in order to pay for your living. It's great! Thanks for a truly inspiring youtube channel! I absolutely love these videos. Great source of inspiration.

There are Tiny Houses designs that actually have the sleeping area in the main floor, so no loft is required, though many also have lower sleeping areas and lofts as storage, I do also think that tiny homes are a great way to allow elderly to have their own space without having to stick them into a nursing home!

Sarah Morton I agree with you. I currently live in a three-story house and I’m by myself. But I needed this at this stage in my life. I grew up in a one bedroom apartment with a bunch of people. For me to have all of the space to myself is healing a lot of wounds. But I already feel that in the future I would be very happy to downsize because I have given myself this chance

Love her tiny house. She explained everything very well and I love the idea with the hay, clever idea. It bothers me something fierce that they are technically illegal here in Canada. Makes no sense. You pray for a solution to end homelessness and for those who prefer living alternatively and then you find a solution and the bi-laws and government say it's illegal. There are so many other countries that have been creating these small living spaces for decades. She's very fortunate to have a friend who is so generous to offer his property and care for her safety. Fantastic story. I wish her all the very best. Love, health and happiness.

Raynee Maybe you could try a different state or network with a group of people in your community? I don't know much about the laws in the states but I know there are some who have tiny home communities and are more flexible with building codes. I'm subscribed to a few channels who live in RV's maybe you can connect with one of the via RU-vid or Facebook and they can assist you in the right direction.

Raynee, have you considered housing options in Michigan? See video 'Detroit makes housing affordable with tiny houses' & related videos. Detroit is actively pursuing (tiny) housing alternatives on solid foundations for low income families. It's my belief that houses below a certain minimum square footage are illegal for the sheer reason that they generate far less revenue for governments in the form of property tax, & for big utility companies in the form of heating/cooling bills, etc. This lady, by her own admission, pays only about $70 every 2 months for propane. And when she eventually commits the 'crime' of going off-grid....you can figure out how many corporate pockets she'll stop lining.

Exactly! The system is outrageous. Being homeless is illegal, van life is illegal but it’s legal for you to pay $1000 or more for a one bedroom apartment. That’s absolutely insane. There needs to be some kind of rent control enforced in the U.S. There’s no reason that an apartment should cost more than owning a home.

I believe it’s because it can be moved as it sits on a trailer. If you put it on a foundation, they could tax it. I’m not against having to pay taxes on them, but it shouldn’t cost more than $200 a year. Eventually we will need small living space in order to be able to afford to live.
@andrewmcgibbon9785
@andrewmcgibbon9785 4 года назад
She touches on the major issue when she talks about having to go around the house and wipe down condensation off of walls and windows. AIR QUALITY. This home is probably only about 120-140 square feet. If it were an empty box it would maybe be 1024 cubic feet of air space. When filled with furniture, appliances fixtures household equipment etc. its probably down to 750-800 cubic feet of air. With windows and doors closed and a furnace running, that is not enough air for even one person. With just one person inside the air quality probably drops to dangerous levels after 8-10 hours with the windows and doors closed. That humidity she wipes off of surfaces is from her breathing. The building codes in most areas dictate a minimum square footage of around 650 square feet to insure safe air quality without having forced ventilation.

High five Christine for your creative solution to a problem that too many people are facing - how to find decent affordable housing. Tiny houses were the norm back in the day. Easy to afford, clean, heat. We're going back to that because no one can afford anything in this country anymore. Greed is the new motivator and the new mindset regarding housing in this country. The USA is becoming a place of greed and making a fast buck off the backs of the disadvantaged with outrageous housing prices. It's comments like those of MOMof2 that displays what's wrong with this country. Stupidity , greed and arrogance is driving this country into the ditch.

Humidity can be reduced with salt and/or certain plants. Use succulents that draw moisture from the air and are low to no maintenance. Also, try putting rock salt in the bottom of a bucket with holes drilled in it and placing it in another bucket to catch the moisture the salt draws out. Hope these suggestions help.

@JAlvisllc
@JAlvisllc 6 лет назад
There are other options other then an HRV. Opening high in the structure would be my suggestion but its important to have a proper bath fan/window and range vent. I wouldn't recommend a hot roof either. A well insulated vented roof with say Tongue and Groove instead of drywall would also be a good option. Full time living in such a small space will always have its challenges. I would want fresh air just to feel healthy.
@JAlvisllc
@JAlvisllc 6 лет назад
Theres lots of variable and more then one option. HRV is just one of many. Countries like Sweden, Norway, and Switzerland use interior membranes that surpass our structures. They use passive systems and have harsh winters. As Americans we are always buying a product like an HRV but its not always necessary.
