Forest & Sofia built a gorgeous 10-ft wide gooseneck tiny home with lots of help, including a cool hands-on building workshop. It features a truly unique multi-level layout that prioritizes openness & an amazing amount of storage. While they built & certified it for just $45k, their insurance values their home at $100k!🤯 They share how they found their parking spot & their work/trade arrangement. 👉 *Watch this tiny house community tour & learn about plans for 40 more around the USA:* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5uDm6RqvZyYlaM.html

I would ONLY have a 10 ft wide tiny home! Those extra two feet take the house from being big hallways to having actual rooms! This interview was so helpful for people considering building a tiny home. He brought up many concerns most people don't often talk about, as well as the "why" behind many of the choices they made. I loved the video's ending! After all that work and love put into their home- he knows he doesn't want to sell!

I love the beginning. At least she asked you to marry her😊 I just told my partner to meet me at the courthouse. When he got there, he asked why were we there? I just simply said, for marriage license. That was 25 years ago. Still married. I ran into the same measurement problems with my washer and dryer. How to add three-and-a-half inches to the front of the cabinet.

I love this home and its uniqueness. This is one of the most unique tiny homes that I’ve seen in a while. I am very drawn to tiny homes because you can make that tiny home what you want it to be. That extra room/yoga room on the gooseneck can easily become a bedroom if the stairs become difficult as you age or if you welcome children into your family. Once again, I love this home.

It’s good that you have the warranty for the washer/dryer but the reasons you mentioned are exactly why I wouldn’t buy a combo. Not that a separate washer and dryer can’t break down but I can’t wait 9 hours for one load of clothes. Drying outside makes the clothes smell wonderful but I wouldn’t want to live in an area with a lot of birds and have to worry about them pooping on my clothes. If I had a tiny house, I would have to have a separate washer and dryer.
