Thank you for the kind comments. Yes, the stairs are steep, but we have found the loft to be very handy for extra storage. And we plan to add an outsde storage shed. Thanks for watching and commenting

Too kind!!😉 Thank you.

Sara and I would love to see Australia. Such an amazing country!! What part of Australia are you near? Its so cool that our videos are seen around the world!! We are honored! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Thanks Justin.

All you have to do to get this is buy a mile or two of land.

We would have wished the neighbors shed not to be so close, but we couldnt control that one. And more land means more work. Im trying to go the other direction😄.

@alchemenergyacademy6231 The move from Texas to Montana was not cheap. $21,000

I agree... I would have spent less on the house and bought more property. Neighbors are great... if you can't see or hear them.

I agree, property is great. We had to weigh the total package that the park has to offer.

Thanks Jo. She loves the positive feedback. Makes her feel like shes doing it right!

Thank you very much.

Good morning Dorothy. That was one of the reasons we selected the Tumbleweed plan. It feels more like a home!! Thanks for watching!

Thanks Ricardo. The other owners in the park are incredible. Everyone watches out for everyone else. Quite a neighborhood watch. We feel very safe here!!!

Thank you so much.

Thank you. It is little, but its very comfortable.

Thank you for the kind comment! That is great info on the cookware. I will forward this immediately to the boss.😄 Thanks for the tip. Have a great day.

Wow! Thank you for the kind words! I dont have the decor vision that my wife has. I just kept openning boxes, and she kept telling me where to put them😄. And when we were done, I was blown away. Or I thought we were done. She has more ideas. And Im sure they will look great! Thanks for watching!! Have a great day!

@@retirementwithpete9859 A lady likes to "feather her own nest!" And she has lovely feathers! I'm certain that she is the most prized decoration!.

Yes!! I am a very lucky man! Married for 37 wonderful years and known her for 41years!!

@@retirementwithpete9859 Blessed indeed! May you enjoy countless more!

Thank you for the kind words!! We have closed it up for the winter now. Looking forward to springtime and starting the landscape.

Thank you!

Thank you so much. That was all Sara's doing. Im not much of a decorator. Luckily she was in-charge of that department 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Walt. How in the hell are you?? Im hoping your retire!! Thanks for watching the video. Yes, Sara did an awesome job on the interior. Take care, friend😉😉

Thank you so much for the kind comments. Yes, we are extremely blessed to have this property and home!!

Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

If you love the outdoors and wildlife, this place is amazing. Cant wait to get back up there!!

Thank you!

Good day Thomas. Thanks so much for the nice comment!

Haha, he probably loves the 1400 sqft of broomed concrete. Exposed doesn't do real well here. A little too cold😄. Thanks so much for watching!! Your my #1 viewer😉 I think I enjoy talking with the viewers more than doing the videos.

@@retirementwithpete9859 Lol yea he does. He’s been doing concrete for 30 years!! Can’t believe it’s been that long.. actually more like 33!! It gets cold here in NE Illinois. Can only pour walls in the winter.. as I’m sure you know. Love your Tiny House, beautiful. Thanks… I’m your #1. That’s funny. Have a great day!!

Thank you. Looking forward to using it again in the spring.

Thank you😉

Thank you

Thank you for the kind words!!

Thank you

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!!

Thank you. Im sure our family will.

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much!!👍

Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!

Hi Bernie, thanks for the nice comment. Have a great day!

Thank you!!

Hi Jordan, it is definitely less😄. So far it seems to be working out well for us. Thanks for watching.

Hi George. Yes she did. And shes not done. More to come!!

Thank you. Looking forward to springtime, to head back over there!!

Thanks, the decor was all Sara!! She did a great job!

Thank you!

We love the music too!! Have a great day!

Good morning Mildred. Having a tiny definitely forces you to limit the amount of stuff you have. Heck, we cant even find a place to hang our coats😄. Forces you to be creative. Thank you for the kind words.

@@retirementwithpete9859 I would like to thank you for sharing giving others ideas. I think it is a wonderful idea, it is a beautiful home. We are not defined by the material things we have we have to much. We are judge by who we are as a person. When we retire if we don't have all the stuff it gives us time to really enjoy our free time to choose what we want to do. I am in the process of down sizing giving to charity getting rid of things I feel wonderful because of it. Things just weight us down hold us back from freedom to do what we want to do is more important. Good morning to you your creative wife this foggy morning where I live. I am happy for you. I am working on it, you have given me the insinuative to continue on to reach my goal. The negative comments overlook. I have been looking at tiny homes your is beautifully laid out, to me it doesn't seem tiny because of the layout, enjoy your beautiful home. Appreciate you sharing.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you, again!!!😊 We just release a video on the cost breakdown. It might interesting you! Thanks for watching! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJx6dsKBmrzLgqs.htmlsi=nADSVhTGGEXq1Iuu

Thank you!

Hi Scott & Debbie. Thanks so much for the comments. You set the bar high, with your place!!! It is stunning!! Have a great winter!

Thank you!

Thank you And Sara loves to hear the feedback😊. Shes smiling right now!

Thank you!! Just went to the home last week, first time since closing it up for the winter. It survived!!

Hi Renee. Thank you for the kind words!! Have a great day!

Hi TJ. I do these videos not knowing what kind of impact they may have. Im reading your story and I am humbled that I can inspire you!! Follow your dream. Share it with your family and friends!! You will never regret it Thank you for sharing and good luck to you!!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you so much. Tell Lila we are so excited to see her tomorrow at her soccer game!!

It turned out really nice. Looking forward to using it more! Thanks for watching and commenting.

We love the music too!! Thank you for the great comment!!

Haha, it was a no brainer. The blue definitely was no working!!! Im even thinking about changing the outside color. Maybe a sage ??? The green is a little too green😄. What do you think?

I love the green you have now. Blends with the surroundings. Green is my favorite.

Very kind, thank you so much!!

Hi Barb. Thank you so much for the nice comments. Sara spent alot of time making the decor decisions. I think she hit a home run. We are very fortunate and blessed to have this little spot of heaven. Thanks for watching.

This is one of my favorite comments. Thank you so much for sharing and watching.

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you for the kind words!! We are very blessed! Its hard to find anything better than the Rockies!😉 Sorry about the Buffs last night! 😔

​@@retirementwithpete9859 Haha. 🐃 Thanks. ... may I ask about homeowners insurance? Are you comfortable sharing company and cost?

We use our local Farmers Ins agent in Superior, Buffy Kelly Ins. Homeowers is about $800. If we decide to rent it out, during the times we are not there, the cost is about $1800. Then we have to use a company that Farmers owns called Foremost. Not exactly sure why. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@@retirementwithpete9859 Thank you.

Hi there. Thank you for the kind words. She not done yet!😄 We talked about a deck off the backside. Or maybe a covered gazebo. We will see! Thanks for watching and commenting

Hi Pam & Rick. Thank you for the kind words!! We are looking forward to the memories we will have with our kids and grandkids!! Thats exciting that you are interested in going "tiny", as they say. Have you looked at Recreational Resorts and Cottages yet? Mr Tiny does a great job of showcasing their homes. Spoiler alert!! Mr Tiny is coming to Montana tomorrow, to do a video of our "tiny". He will be doing an episode of Living Tiny With Mr Tiny. Very excited to meet him!! Stay tuned!!

Thank you

It might be my new music for the channel. I really like it!!

@@retirementwithpete9859 Good choice. It should be all our theme song, during these times we’re in. We’re in His Time. I sure love the setting you and Sara chose! Thanks for sharing your journey, and for your reply!

Thank you!

Hi Jeff. We look forward to meeting you and Julia. I was just up there last week. Are you full time? And are you staying the winter? We are fortunate to have a 5th wheel and the tiny home. They both have their pluses and minuses. But the tiny is so comfortable!!! Please reach out if you have any questions about the process. My email is rtwp2021@gmail.com And thanks for watching!

Thanks Pete……will look forward to meeting you and Sara in 2024. Julia and I aren’t full time yet. Looking to retire either next year or early 2025. Then, Montana here we come! We’re currently in Troutdale Oregon and looking forward to becoming Montana residents.

What? Troutdale? We are neighbors!! We live across from Barlow!!! What are the odds😄

Crazy!! We’re neighbors in 2 states! 😀

Thank you so much? Are you from Texas? We have family in Houston!!

Thank you so much!!

Haha. We were just looking at do that exact thing. One thing we noticed that is missing is a coat closet. Dont really have a spot for our jackets. Maybe hooks on the stair wall?? Not sure!

@@retirementwithpete9859 you know, since your front porch is covered you could probably put a few jacket hooks on the outside wall on your porch. Then you could hang a few coats out there. like a rain coat when it's raining so you don't have to bring it in the house. It might not be the best place to keep your winter coat though BRRR lol.

@@DeterminedDIYer I like that idea. Ill run it by the boss😄. Its been so much fun. Did not expect the level of response from viewers. So very cool!! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi Denise. Wow!! Thank you so much for the kind words. Sara will be so happy to read your comments. We are so happy with how the Tumbleweed turned out. You cannot go wrong with RRC.Yes, Mr Tiny is so fun to watch. We watched 4 episodes last night😄. Have you narrowed your choice of plans yet?? We'd love to know the details😉. Oh, can you keep a secret??? Mike "Mr Tiny" Timmons reached out to us a couple weeks ago. He wants to do the final episode of season 2 of Living Tiny With Mr Tiny, on our home. Hes flying out to Montana next Wednesday. Cant wait to meet him. Im sure he'll do a great job!! And we are very excited about your journey to "tiny living". Good luck and let us know if you have any questions!! Have a blessed day!

@@retirementwithpete9859 Mr Tiny will make the showcase of your home a real "banger"! I can't wait to see it. When I go to get my RRC home, I've chosen the Road Runner. I love the "L' staircase and the large loft! I hope, when the day comes, I can get Mr. Tiny to show mine too. 😁

Haha, that was one of the models we watched last night. Great plan!! So excited for you. What state are you putting it in? I wonder how many homes they sell. They are all so nice and affordable.

@@retirementwithpete9859 I live in Florida. I have to say there have been 4 models that interested me, the Tumbleweed was one of them, but I finally landed on the Road Runner. These folks build quality so I know I'm gonna love it.

Yes they do. You will love it!!

You read my mind. We are doing those exact upgrades next spring!! They should be great additions!

We looked at a sectional. But we were worried it would look to big for the space. Why are tiny homes so small?😄

@@retirementwithpete9859 That’s true 😊

Yes, great points. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Have a great day.

The top would be so perfect for all my grandchildren to sleep and hang out when they are tired out from playing outside

Thank you so much for the kind words. Have a great New Year!!

Thanks, wait till its done!!

Hi Barb. Its called the Tumbleweed w/ loft 576e-FPSL. Its manufactured by Platinum Cottages, and sold through Recreational Resorts and Cottages. Both are in Texas. Sara gets all the credit for the finshes and decorating. She did an amazing job. But I was in charge of the broom😄 Thanks again!!

Hi Lori. Yes, plants would thrive with all the sunlight. Sara has watched at least a couple hundred Mr Tiny videos!!😄. And she is very good at decorating. Had no problem at all insuring it. Contacted the local Farmers insurance agent in Superior, Mt. and she set us up!! Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@retirementwithpete9859 Thanks for the response and info. I live about an hour from RRC and still haven't been! I have to be breaking some kind of law..ha Take care!

Hi Mary. Thank you for the nice comments. The park limits the number of owners who can stay all through the winter months, to minimize the wildlife impact. But if you want to enjoy the Montana winter, you can live there year round. We would love to see a fresh snowfall, from the porch. Just not sure I want to feel the sub zero temps🥶. Have a great day!

Thank you so much. Great question. The stain is Cabot Austrailian Timber Oil. Honey Teak color. I was very impressed with the absorption and coverage. And the color was perfect!! I would recommend it!!

Great idea!!

Hi Barbara. Thank you! We are in Shyrock Motorcoach and RV Park. Its just outide of Superior, Mt. Our property butts up to the Lolo Nationa Forest. It truely is beautiful. We are very fortunate.

Good morning Eric. Thank you for the nice comments. The damage costs were covered by RRC and Platinum. Since we were so far from Texas, they asked us to provide cost estimates or receipts for the repairs. Then they reimbursed us. With no questions!!😉 That says alot about a company! They could prevent alot of the damage by installing metal sheeting or plywood above the tires. I would have paid extra for that, if I had known there would be that much damage. Thank for watching and commenting. Have a great day!

Haha, yes it does!!

Hi there. This is a very popular question, which we dont mind answering. We custom built this home, through Recreational Resorts and Cottages, in Rockwall, Tx. They are a distributor for Platinum Cottages out of Marlakoff, Tx. The home cost $91,000, that includes about $20,000 in upgrades. The shipping from Marlakoff, Tx. to Superior Mt. was $21,000. The metal skirting was around $5,000. Electrical and plumbing hookup was about $1500. So about $118,000. Next up is the landscaping🙂.

Hi Joan. Yes, all the repairs have been completed. And the manufacturer, Platinum, reimbursed us the costs. RRC and Platinum have been terrific!! Thanks for the questions

Once the park completes the blacktop driveway and stair approach, , we can install the front and rear staircases. The temporary front staircase is actually built for the back of the porch. Cant cut the front stair stringers till I know the elevation of the blacktop that they will rest on. It has been a process. We plan on putting a small storage shed at the end of the concrete patio, and a covered gazebo at the other end. But it all takes time.

Hi Carol. That is a very popular question. The home was $90,200. And we paid $21,000 to ship it 1800 miles from Texas to Montana. We looked for closer manufacturers, but they all seem to be located in Texas or the midwest. Im going to put out a video showing all our costs and the process we went through. It all went very smoothly. Except for the damage that occurred during shipping. And yes, all the damaged has been repaired. And the manufacturer reimbursed us the costs!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Dont quote me, but I think the loft is only 54" at its highest. We were told that the loft could not be higher that 60" or they would include it in the square footage. Then it would be over the 399 sqft maximum. Any structure over 400 is considered a mobile home, and it has to be built to a different standard. Tiny homes under 399 are considered "park model" homes. And they are built to the RVIA 119.5 standard. And the are not taxed as real property. Alot to learn.
