Would you live in this Tiny House? Answer: yes, no, maybe but _____

This is similar to what a family member of mine did out in Utah. They had 7 tiny homes on their property at one point.They have 5 kids and the mother is a master electrician while the father is a retired construction worker/master plumber. The kids would turn 13 and my aunt and uncle would help them design a tiny home and help them build it from scratch so by their 16th birthday they each have a tiny home that’s ready to go and then each cousin would be taught handy man skills, and never be homeless. Each of them got a small truck or suv and took their home with them when they went off for schooling or education. They said each “mobile home” as they called it only cost them 4-5k because of recycled materials, their know how and skills and they owned all their own tools and heavy equipment from their jobs.

Twenty years ago I was reading an article about alternative lifestyles. A dad, got custody of his two sons unexpectedly. They were 12 and 14 years old. He lived on a property in small used RV. Fine for 1 adult, but not with a teen and preteen. After looking at options. He bought 2 small used RVs and hooked them up to the existing electric, well and septic. He and the boys built a large deck that the trailers each opened up to. They remodeled the trailers to each boys taste. All of the males were happy. Everyone felt connected yet with private space. A great way to inexpensively solve the needs of all. This was before the tiny house movement took hold.

I admire their resilience. They didn’t see the crash as a tragedy but as an opportunity to remodel and redesign their tiny home to suit them even better. Well done 👏

I want a tiny house that’s stationary like this. I have no desire to lug my house across country and this way I could make it more square if I wanted to. I’d have a second building as a little art studio.

They have such a cute set up. And I love how there's space for each of them to exist without always being on top of one another

The deck makes a huge difference. Like an additional room during especially summer. Well done!

Love this concept. Now if we could just come together and make tiny homes available so no one has to be HOMELESS!!

There’s something so freeing about watching people live like this!

Yes I would live there! What a dedicated couple to recover, rebuild and experience their dream. And the fox would be very comforting neighbor. Thank you for sharing. 🕊

The idea of seeing your home just rolling backwards down a hill must have been so devastating. I love seeing the pictures of the before but the after is so fun too. Good for them for picking themselves up! Encouraging

I LOVE this idea!! If I were ever to get married again I would need a setup like this so we each could have our own house haha. Great video thx!

Oh God! My heart dropped when I saw the tiny house crashed! 😭... Glad they were able to rebuild it!! 😍

The projector screen is the most clever thing I have seen in a tiny house yet. Thanks for the idea. I am designing my own at the moment.

Love the honesty -- they just needed more space. And they have to be admired for coming back from the crash!

This is my vision for my future, two tinies side by side. Maybe with a breezeway. Nicely done. Especially the comeback after the tiny crash!

I'd love to see a follow up video about winter living in this tiny house set up.

It must have been such an ordeal to see their home crash. They’re certainly resilient. I like the idea of two separate buildings. It seems like it would make having overnight guests more comfortable. The porch is amazing.

These are cool when you are younger and agile. There will come a point where the ladder to the sleeping loft and storage is no longer practical or safe. Even the stairs would be problematic. With their second house they can stay here longer as it could eventually be the bedroom. Getting old can really suck. 😁 It sneaks up on you.

That Breville "toaster oven" is actually a real convection oven. You wouldn't know it wasn't a "real" oven if it wasn't so small. It's amazing.

That second structure definitely makes sense. Perfect!

I recently saw a video on a tiny home which was converted from a bus. This couple had 4 kids. The parents loved the "closeness" that they would have with their children. A little closeness is fine. 6 people living directly on top of one another is not so fine. And because their home was originally a bus it would be tight quarters anyway. I love the 2 tiny buildings being beside eachother. Sometimes, you need some time off with the one(s) you live with. These people have the right idea. Really love what they did with both of the buildings.

Great to hear of somebody remodelling their tiny house and what they realized were important changes they wished to make. Thanks!

I love this. Just bought a tiny house after selling my home for 3 million cash. I am so excited.

Love your sweet old dog!

That’s a badass little set up. I like that they have two houses so they can have full-size rooms.

Oh My! I just gasped when I saw the tiny home on it's side in the ditch!!! What an awful experience.... BUT.... it has all turned out beautifully!!!

Your videos are so well done. Like a TV show. But far less annoying and more aesthetically pleasing. Thank you.

I think that's the way I would go too, adding rooms if and when they're needed. This is lovely!

Beautiful build. What’s really important & necessary is that they’re able to haul it away to safety if another fire happened…

I like the idea of a compound like setting with the different small buildings connected by the large deck. That countryside looks lovely as well

This story feels symbolic to my life last year trying to get set up in Hawaii. Me and my partner talked about getting land there to live off grid but we had a hard time getting set up. So this is encouraging for me. Everything is still possible. Glad you guys like it more now. 💜💗💗💜

They did a great job with their home and seem to be very well-suited to each other as a couple. Sweet!

Right on toaster oven! Love Breville!

Are you KIDDING me Jenna?!! Been in my TH for 3 years - all I need currently is some acerage, a giant deck and a Tiny"er" buddy house like this couple - This is amazingly set up and functional!!!! thank you for sharing. stay well - Tiny in Texas

Stacked washer/dryer always a lifesaver! I really like how this panned out for them ❤️

Inspiring RESILIENCE. What an innovative reroute after the tiny house crashed.

I live close to this area. I had heard this county was not tiny house friendly. I’m glad to see they have made it work- a Phoenix project both in regard to the rebuild and starting fresh after a fire. Good Karma.

what a great idea to have done a deck and the second tiny/shed which looks like the main house in color, so it looks like a bigger house. Awesome!!

I would live in a tiny house if I were a single person. This couple has made a comfortable and nice looking space for themselves.

I already had an idea of an outdoor living space for my next 'terra firma' build. This is perfect! Also, the foxes are awesome! There's rabies tablets you can put out for them that they'll eat and prevent them from getting rabies... check with the local extension office. Better to make sure the local creatures are safe too!

I love these videos!!! Americans are use to having soooo much. Tiny homes give you basics and for many, that is just right. Not a lot of upkeep and not a financial drain. Allows you to do other things that are more important.

OMG. Just Beautiful, just what I want to have in a Mini Country House. Lovely. 🥰👍🙋🏻‍♀️

I always thought about putting a few tiny spaces on the sides of a tiny house. Great addition for growing children and guests. So making them like mini suites, with bedroom, compact bathroom and a small kitchenette type set up in at least one for adults.

Perfect life i love these people they got a cheap affordable house, pay all there bills, and still have money left, and they have a nice peaceful neighborhood.

THANKS FOR SHARING THEIR STORY... SORRY FOR THEIR CRASH...HOWEVER THEY RECOVERED WELL WITH IMPROVEMENTS!

Very nice way to live, Foxes are great , Enjoy

I used to live in Bellvue in the Buckhorn Canyon area. Great spot to live. Absolutely loved it up there. It was the first time I saw a mountain lion in the wild too.

Thank you! Something that’s not talked about enough is the logical next step to living Tiny. I built a 400 sq ft house for my daughter that can easily be doubled.

Bless them! What a disappointment to have a new home destroyed! But their fortitude has paid off and they now have a very comfy home that allows them to entertain, as well!

Wow.That took a lot of work, and heartache, and yet MORE work, but - they've ended up with a wonderful and beautiful setup! I love it! I hope they have many more good years there, they certainly deserve it. Smiling, here...

The crash was a blessing. God provided them with something better and more innovative. Praise him🙌🏼

Beautiful space. It is nice to see that in the end, people still want more space, more comfort, and want to settle down.

What an awesome property!! And I love the tiny house and the other house. Very nice layout as well. Of course, a property like this just begs to have a nice hot tub as well. Think about sitting out in the hot tub during the winter with snow falling and all around you. Anyways, even without a hot tub this is a very nice place.

I'm glad they weathered that storm together. From an aerial view, their place is huge but no couch? That outdoor porch is fabulous

I JUST LOVE YOUR TINY HOUSE. I'M SO HAPPY YOU WERE ABLE TO REDO YOUR HOUSE. BEST OF LUCK.

what I like about your video's is they are information to the point and don't go on with boring dribble.. job well done.

That is what I want when I can afford it!! It's perfect especially with the deck build on and that extra room for a living room or guests. Excellent!

Oh my gosh out of devastation and tragedy, they rise! Congratulations, you're overcomes that's for sure. Amazing story happy you are both okay. 💝🙏💝 prayers for you and your future. 💝🙏💝

I cannot believe THIS. I just realized you were the couple who I watched years ago in the perfect THoW build. I changed phones and could never find you again. Today I watched your video but, got a call. Later I came back and saw the footage of your old build and my heart leapt. Your mom's pillows on the daybed with the teal ottomans under. I remember the vanity and great Ikea kitchen with your glasses on wall pull up table across under window bath behind and perfect storage stairs. I cannot believe my luck! NOW how can I find the other video? I want my THoW exactly like that. ...I am so happy for you to see all the changes you've gone thru yet, you are still Tiny and full of joy. BLESSINGS ✨

I can't imagine ever being as happy as them and living in such beautiful surroundings. It must be an amazing feeling

Cute little set up

WOW! Love this design! My husband, 6 year old and I, live in a 600 sqr foot studio and our biggest issue is with noise. My husband works from home, and I home school. We definitely need to build an additional work space.

I think that this is my favorite tiny house set up so far.

This new setup is one of my favorites. I like how you appreciate your kitchen and bathroom space and made that priority in your remodel.

What a nice setup

Beautiful Little tiny house

I like it! They could also merge the two together if they weren’t planning on leaving.☺️

Someone help, please? I can't stop watching these tours! 🤓 On second thought, there's no reason to rescue me because I Love It!! 🏡❤ 🕊💗

Absolutely lovely! You did an amazing job rehabbing the house. I love the mini house too!

Amazing place! So glad that they pressed on and renovated their home to fit their needs! ♥️🙏

Just wonderful! They never gave up even after crashing! The setting is absolutely gorgeous.

I like that they added a curtain for the loft area. I keep wondering why more people don't add such an option. It helps keep some privacy as well as block out the light when you're trying to sleep up there.

This is perfect. I deeply want a set up that wraps around a deck like this. I would probably go a little bigger with the house because 160 sq ft is too small for me because I couldn't do a loft bedroom but this is gorgeous. It probably would be a pain in bad weather but the physical speration would be psychologically good for me because I'd feel my work space/laundry was different.

I like the remodel, it is more open. I also really like the design you have on the outside. Very classic

I like this particular design. Most people feel like one tiny house may not be enough to downsize to immediately which discourages some. This gives them a great idea that two buildings are ideal. Each space gives you more opportunities to have as normal a lifestyle as having a home without the cost and too much footprints, especially for retirees like me. I love the deck part so much. It serves as the living room. And just look at the spurge in size. I would put a roof over it to unite the whole space plus protect it from the elements which can be used even during winter. Overall this is the most unique tiny house configuration Ive seen and the most practical too. Im originally from Asia but now retired in the US. This is a keeper I might design my next vacation house there. Two tiny houses made of wood and bamboo with a sprawling roofed deck to bridge them. Divine design!!! Thanks for the tips.

This was a very cute home and the bathroom and regular toilet was really nice .. Plus having 2 homes was nice to have some work and quiet time …

This is just gorgeous. That shot at 0:17 is so beautiful. Glad they continued with the rebuild. It turned out beautifully.

I love this tiny house and the wonderful huge outdoor space! Makes me want to live in one. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Great one person maybe two

At first I thought they each had their own house and I was like hell yea! Hahah

OMGOODNESS...the crash, devastating!!!!

Right now the washer and dryer sound great to me! I love the whole deck situation❣️

I love what they done with the remodel, except the removal of two things. The stairs. I usually get up in the night, and the composting toilet. With water shortages in arid environments, they are flushing perfectly good drinking water away.

Beautiful very well done sorry for your original loss but another beauty came out of & additions awesome enjoy you have everything you need that’s for sure . Md

Beautiful tiny houses! 😍

Love the music you use ❤

Perfect, that's how I had always envisioned my tiny area to look like.

What does or did Lauren do for a living? She is excellent at this and not a lot of people could seem this natural in front of a camera. She is clear and also easy to watch.

A lot of people would have gone up after the crash, they just made their home better. Cool dog.🐕

Great setup. Really enjoy seeing all the different tiny options.

I love how she said for some Creature comforts

I can see adding another tiny house for a pool table, and maybe another tiny house for a study.

Make sure you have a quick escape route if there is a forest fire or other weather related dangers ! Nice cabins, I just don't understand why they are not connected , even in a mobile way. I can imagine days when the conditions are hard and you have to cover up just to go to the other building. I also find amusing the notion of entertaining friends when you moved to a remote isolated location.

Very cool.

That home is cozy looking. I admire how despite that accident they had with their home, they still persisted. Many would have given up, but they won't. And now because they persevered, they now have a home to be proud of.

I love the screen door feature. Don't see those very often. Good move.

This is great - tiny homes have that term "tiny" that makes me think "cramped." But these look really nice. Love the idea of having a tiny house for your tiny house, especially since these things don't have attics or basements, and you still need a place to store all your stuff!

love how you guys rebuilt even better than ever !!! I want to do something similar with two small yurts so thank you so much for all the great ideas. Best Wishes

I am really sorry for the loss financially of your first tiny house but I have found it many times better things come from hardship… Not only lessons learned but a better life. I really love your layout for your tiny home and the way you have utilized the outdoors and your deck and the extra smaller tiny house adjacent to your home for Extra work area; do you to have outdoor theater/movies and speakers for your music and just such a beautiful scenery around you when you are outdoors, you have the best of all worlds❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I really love that you can also bring down the Hamic‘s chairs and just chill out and swing right there inside your home! You have really been smart about the layout of your kitchen area give yourself extra space and not taking upstairs steps but rather using the ladder do you access the upper loft area. Last, I’m very proud of you for not giving up when you’re tiny house tipped on the road up to your location. Many people would’ve just given up and he speaks highly of your level of perseverance and strength.😊❣️ I WISH YOU BOTH BEST INTO YOUR FUTURE 💕♥️♥️❣️
