10’x28’ Freedom Comparison to our New Model “The Charleston” Tour

[@kimberlyhouston1664]

I have heard for years about how great the carpenters are in the Amish community. I’m glad you brought them onto your team. Way to go Randy !!

[@lizjustice858]

My aunt and uncle had tables and benches made by the Amish. Very heavy duty and well used over the years. They are now forty years old and look new!!!!

[@barbarakelly6729]

Very beautiful.

[@turtledove65]

This home is exquisite! I love the pride they have in doing a wonderful job! I love all the extra things they done, window sills, curves on kitchen shelves, decorative pieces around the sprinkler or fire alarm, and the cabinet behind shower! I love the creativity how they are putting in the little things that just make you smile! If I am ever able to buy one, I'd like to have it built by the Amish because I love the wood homes! Keep your head up and one step in front of the other! Y'all are doing great! All the ITH family are in my prayers every night! Thanks for always including Ace, he just warms my heart! P. S. I can't wait to win my tiny home 😉

[@aedavila16]

Ditto!!!

[@jukes243]

I was interested until now. The 20k is troubling me. The guys building the homes are doing a great job.

[@tripletgirl2484]

Well done on your tours. These homes are lovely and functional!

[@surgepro322able]

Randy, my wife and I planned a vacation to Pigeon Forge, just so we could come from Indianapolis , to see y'all! I was so excited to see the forest and the beach, along with your manufacturing buildings, as we were driving up to the entrance! We were met buy one of your volunteers (can't remember her name). She was so patient and courteous. We must have riddled her with all the questions we had. Our tour was the highlight of our day! We then received a follow up email a out our listed interests. Even though your are a small growing business, we appreciate the professionalism of your team! Thanks for all you do. Steve Green

[@lesliremington3904]

Im a native Calif. girl. lm so impressed with your creation...I would consider moving to TN because of what you are doing. I'm a health and wellness professional...love the idea of creating a community with health services! I will continue to watch and be supportive. Maybe I'll be a neighbor at some point....hoping and wishing! You are all awesome!

[@vickilind5805]

Randy I use to love look at other tiny homes before I ran across your video and now when I look at them they seem to have waisted space and they disappoint me every time. Your homes are so well built and so amazing. I am so grateful my health ended me in bed so I got to be with you and Amanda every day. Thank you for all you guys do for others. God's loving blessings to you and your company.

I love the fact that the bedroom is downstairs.What a wonderful build this tiny house is.Great job boy’s 👍 👍❤️

[@lisamontague138]

These homes are just beautiful! You can the workmanship and craftsmanship in these. The Amish have done a fantastic job! I'm so excited about the new models that are coming out! The drafts look very good on them! Guys I'm hooked on this channel! When I first started watching I binged it like a show on Netflix! Great job! Love you guys! ❤️

[@jameswilley8207]

I don't understand it but 20,000 doesn't quite make sense to me

[@irenegauger9496]

That kitchen counter top is so beautiful.

[@WalterL1988]

Seems a little confusing about the lot lease. So if there is a $20,000 lot fee, shouldn't that include a number of months free equal to what you are paying in advance? Otherwise your just paying the setup cost for the lot and are unlucky enough to be the first one and so have to pay the $20,000? Sorry but that doesn't seem very fair. Love you guys, but this deal doesn't make a lot of sense.

[@Vashti0825]

Agreed. Still does not make sense $ to me.

[@donaldwood569]

Go to web site and e-mail Randy to clairfy everything or call them!

[@labelgirl]

Love the tour, I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the window sills in the homes the Amish are doing!! I have a question on the models, is there any of the models that are similar to your Craftsmen series regarding the heights? Us tall people want to know. lol, Can’t wait to see the models live as they are coming together. 😊

[@BevPeffer-ISurvivedAbuse]

Theresa please don't take offense but what about us short people hahahaha. We don't need those ceilings so hi. Hahahahaha...

[@sharonhorton9726]

Question if it only cost $6000 for set up for the first people ,why is it costing $20.000 for the second people?🤔 maybe others thinking the same .

[@ThePyrshepnBelgn]

Because it's the Mountain and it's more difficult to put in infrastructure than on the flat. Also prices on everything have gone up a third or more.

[@chezmoi42]

@@ThePyrshepnBelgn Yes, there's a huge difference between the work it's taking to cut in all the roads and install utilities over on the Mountain and the flat, easily accessible lots in the Prairie and Forest.

[@wandacraig8286]

Love, love, love this home! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for explaining the $20,000 addition to a mountain lot. I get it and would love to have a place there. Maybe someday 🙏😃

[@raysun2be]

I've known for years the Amish have a very strong work ethic and they do exceptional work. Quality and little details exceed expectations. So when you said a while back that they were building your homes, no concerns about quality at all. And these tours prove it!

[@susanbeals7597]

Please consider having a 32" wide X 36" deep shower in these, Randy! Then we taller people can easily turn sideways to scrub up without bumping our elbows! Also, please consider the bottom 3 or 4 stairs with the tread on a hinge for shoes and other storage. This will be a beautiful home for us older people, and we can have storage and plants in the loft, with guests sleeping on a sectional sleeper in the living room. This one may be mine!!

[@raysun2be]

I am interested in the no loft version, but I would sacrifice the entry closet area for a 32"x48" shower. I am a big guy and not sure i could fit in a 32"x32". I know these are set, no options or changes to the model, but a suggestion for future designs and options.

[@iluvmusicals21]

@@raysun2be I would appreciate a layout similar to what you are describing. I need a shower that accommodates a shower stool, and can't do stairs on a regular basis. I've commented on a number of videos, so I hope they eventually design something with a larger bath.

[@Mexicobeanpole]

This house is beautiful. I can see that it’s solid. Exciting. Exciting. Ace is a sweetie pie!❤️

[@robinbolser2535]

How big is the deck that you include in the package?

[@nancyrea3863]

Smart to move the door. The area around the stairs is already wasted space so putting the door there was perfect.

[@monicazehm4333]

Love this tiny house. My fave! Such workmanship and love the floor plan!

[@earlshaner4441]

I have always been impressed Randy and Amanda

[@JuliaSTAndre]

I would love to see your next build similar to the container homes , one long space with more kitchen but still a good living space and the bathroom not across from the kitchen no loft and no stairs . Just an idea to put in that great thinking 🤔 mind you have . Really ready to buy a tiny home . Thanks for all the information and videos you put out .

[@sandytheisen5389]

Is there any problem getting housing insurance? How much does insurance cost to cover tiny homes? Thanks for your videos.

[@raskasha]

Can you address the electrical box being under the water access, or behind the shower. I have seen comments about that being in issue with them being connected so close. I am sure there is a way that you make it safe, but I wanted you to be able to explain why so other people can understand how you can do that. Thanks, and God bless!

[@kathysims3594]

I love the door on the end 🥰🥰the Amish has really out done themselves beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@chezmoi42]

Just remember that the door will be by the stairs in the new models.

[@robinbolser2535]

I really like the LP Siding

BTW...doing these vlogs on your beautiful units and keeping us up to date on how it all works is really great!!! Thank you for taking time to share it regularly!

[@luanneriffle616]

Like seeing the different models. I really like the main floor bedroom. Needs another small loft above window and door. Ace needs a biscuit for being such a good boy. Give Randy a treat to.

[@chriswhite426]

Is it possible to do the incredibox on the mountain and get one of those lots? Or will the incredibox only be allowed off site? Seems like those interested in it might need lots too? Also I see people worried about spending 20k and only getting one year of guaranteed lease so was wondering if it was possible to do a 5 year lease and then have it go year to year. Protects the buyers to keep it locked at 300 for 5 years at least so the 20k buy in seems a better deal. Just a thought

[@chriswhite426]

@@Swim136 sorry to have offended you and I did not mean to disrespect ITH eith my question. I think you are wrong in your reading. First many places give multiple year leases. Second randy himself said he gave 3 year leases to the beach and prairie tenants hence my question about the mountain. Third it is actually pro ITH as the hardest thing for landlords is the change in tenants and risk of vacant. A long term tenant is someone who wants to put down roots and improve the property. Fourth it does not hurt him financially so fail to see your anger at my question. Whether someone pays 300 per month for 5 years or 5 different people pay 300 per month for 1 year each the money is the same. Randy has said he does not intend to raise rates and wants a community. Having longer term tenants makes for a better community thAn one year move outside it would seem. In any event it was just a question. As a business owner he is free to say no but if ITH gets offended by people asking questions before putting down 60000 or more for a house not yet built in a community not finished on a video in which they ask for comments than you are right about it not being a good match for my family.

Worth every penny Randy and Amanda

[@michele2397]

For the 20K, ?’s as many are commenting as well, how big is the deck and is that separate from the stairs, size of the shed and material to match house? I’m really not saying this to be ugly, but leveling and setup you often do fairly easily and quickly & sometimes free. As the developer wouldn’t you be doing all the utilities the same as the other areas at a much lesser cost? I’ve put in a well and septic and know how pricey but I don’t get the 20k all of a sudden for these few lots. Does that mean in the future all development will be paid by the first leasee up front? I want to live there w something like your Birmingham, but waiting for one to see and really trying to understand the 20k I would have to pay or another amount on the next phase you develop. I love your videos and the homes you built, just trying to understand your new business plans.

[@michele2397]

I obviously get the mountain vs a flat open area. That wasn’t the point exactly, but whatever, was just trying to understand the cost and exact info. That’s all. 😊

[@carolaclarke8211]

Thank you Randy and Amanda for all your information in detail. Just love your progress. Hi, Ace - great dog. Continued blessings.

[@Starr-lett]

If I want to put microwave on top of frig there needs to be an outlet by window or behind it. Also. I would add a skinny locker style Pantry at end of counter. Lastly, I would just buy a clothes rack at walmart and put it in downstairs bedroom. This is my favorite house so far! ❤

[@bigmaninavan7799]

So if you pay the 20 grand are you promised that 300 a month price as long as you renew your lease? Can it keep going up each time you renew your lease? 3 years from now can you be paying 500 or 600 a month?

[@charlesdavis7461]

I remember years ago Pennsylvania had some terrible tornadoes which destroyed an Amish town, and many others. BUT I believe within a month they banded together and rebuilt the homes in the Amish community.

[@DonnaGal220]

Atlantic PA 1985 ? only a couple miles from where we live with our tiny home.

[@debbiesmith4880]

You had me so interested with the custom build concept. Not thrilled with the model concept as I wanted a 10 by 40 custom build. It seems I am always writing negative comments but I really do admire what you guys have done and your plans for the future. (And by the way the 20k lot fee still isn’t settling well in my accountants brain :)

[@MBMCincy63]

I understand him to be saying that the 20K is : set up ,leveling and hooking all utilities making sure they are functional, a stair and deck, a shed. Then it is a lease for 12 month at $300, renewable yearly. I expect that the land being leveled well enough for a trailer to sit fairly flat, all the sewer, electric and internet laid in, ready to tap into is partially why the 20K is what it is.

[@eagleinflight777]

What is there that you can't wrap your brain around? Figure out what all the things that they are doing would cost. I bet if you got an estimate for each thing, and added them all up, it would cost more than $20,000!

[@debbiesmith4880]

@@MBMCincy63 if you built your own home on a lot ( and most likely quite a bigger lot then this) you could pay as much as 20k for utility hook ups and this btw is at the high end. Randy did explain in this video that the 20k included a deck, shed, skirting and utility hook up which honestly still seems rather steep to me. Watching past videos I learned Randy leases the land himself and therefore cannot sell the lots. His lease is for 20 years from what I heard and that raised the question of what happens at the end of the 20 years. Does he have an option to renew? What would happen to all the communities if, God Forbid, the lease wasn’t renewed. Not being negative…..just asking and thinking about the future.

Can there be electrical outlet for an oven? My family loves to cook.and bake. A traditional oven makes for more of a home feel.

[@choosekindness5677]

I have a question... if tenant "A" pays $20k in order to secure a lease on the mountain for $300 a month, then after a year they don't renew their lease and the lot returns to ITH, then tenant "B" leases that lot for $300 a month, will tenant "B" also have to pay the $20k? In other words, is the $20k only paid once, only by tenant "A"? Or is the $20k paid each time there is a new tenant on that lot?

[@CheleBoxy]

Following to learn answer.

[@joann5157]

I did a double take when Randy explained paying $20K that a renter is essentially giving him. I understand costs, but why not charge more monthly rent for those mtn. lots?

[@Rprakaash]

Nothing against ITH folks. I really like them. If someone pays 20k and if they dont renew the lease if the lot goes back to ITH, we are talking approximately 2k a month rent 🙄 and not 300$ per month. They need to clearly lay these out properly. They can explain this in their website properly. It will be really helpful.

So what happens to the stairs area if you get the Charleston without dormers? I thought that would be the washer/dryer area? Or will it become a closet?

[@bac8487]

Website has Charleston floor plan w/o dormers, no stairs, instead closet w/ a w/d hook-up behind entry door and a vanity will be added to the bathroom.

[@Stacey721]

Love the craftmanship and look! I would consider this one! However, please consider moving that center loft to end over the downstairs bedroom. It would give more safety, as well as privacy for occupants of both the loft and bedroom. Loft would be much more functional and would allow some storage space against the end wall, too. It would also push stairs over/back and allow room for washer and dryer in living space, opposed to placing in bedroom. Then could still have the closet in bedroom. Just trying to help, not bash. :) It would be much more livable!

[@llkleyll]

Loft need to stay open because of the air flow around the house. The bedroom downstairs will not get A/C or heated if loft is closed. And the beauty of the floor plan is the openness of the vaulted ceilings. For the price of this houses a good thing is you will get to design your own finish touches, in this case a railing for privacy/safety in your style

[@Stacey721]

Hello Randy. Just wanted to say I love your Charleston home. So good 👍to see a company doing ten foot wide home's instead of the eight foot wide house which I would never buy. It makes such a difference and I would go for a twelve foot wide house if I was to buy one because the wider your home the more homy it looks and if you are BUYING it to put it in one place for good 👍and only moving it to your forever place to live in it for your self then a ten foot wide house is so much better but I would want a twelve foot wide house for myself!!!

Love the Charleston! So homey with the 10 foot wide living room. I know you have said no changes, but like another comment said, I would want a stove and oven in my kitchen. Could there be an option in a model that leaves a space with an outlet so I could add an oven instead of the cook top? I love to bake! I'll bring you cookies! I promise!!! And pie and applesauce cake and lemon bread!!!

[@mjohnson2227]

I agree . I would like a gas range with oven. And lots of counter space

[@chezmoi42]

Why a whole stove? You could very easily take off the doors and install a separate oven in the 24" cabinet below the cooktop, with a nice drawer below for pans. I'm a good cook, and I've used a two burner unit in my 5' long counter for nearly thirty years. Never missed the other two.
