It’s a great deal !! Can’t wait to see it decorated.Happy for the owner. God Bless your tiny community. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🤗🥰

[@markdecker2724]

Thanks for the information. However, a bit hard to hear you with the background music as load as it is.

[@reds6389]

Wonderful tour Hans ., thank you !

[@jennypridham9991]

Thank you. Hope things are going well. I’m excited to see this house on its permanent lot.

[@davidwolfe7777]

It will be nice to see the lake lots fill up.👍

[@mrs.wiggins5695]

I can't wait to see what you do with it. People get so creative and its fun to watch.

[@francesn33]

There will be a bifold barn door on the bathroom. That is a 2.0 door.

[@australianwoman9696]

Are you the owner ? If so congratulations! Can't wait to see what you do with it! How are you going to get to the loft? Ladder?

[@francesn33]

@australianwoman9696 yes, I will have a custom ladder that will be stow away. That loft will be storage and guest bedroom.

[@SharonUK]

Maybe a dumb 😊 question, What is a 2.0 door?

[@skmerwitz4758]

I can't wait until I get there

[@Beachlove05]

Thank you, Hans for the home tour. I can’t wait to get there… it’s going to be longer than what Randy originally projected, frustrating to have to wait…

[@francesn33]

That is so funny. I just bought 2 rain chains.

[@EmiliaGarcia-sh1my]

Can't wait to see it decorated ❤😊

[@Maria-In-Motion]

A gas flame 1.5” away from the wood electrical cover seems a tad dangerous 🙄

[@francesn33]

Thank you for the tour. It looks great.

[@kimleskowyak3347]

This looks awesome, I am so happy for you and I am excited to see all the updates you make it yours.

[@SharonUK]

Hi, do you happen to know if there are steel studs,? For attaching shelving for putting plates on, etc? You can do it if there are metal studs underneath. If the new owner sees this can you please let me know. Much appreciated. I am getting a 10x24 RJO, and trying to plan it out. Love your new home

[@gotinybefree]

No studs, just foam between the walls. You have to get a little creative. You can add wood and use gravity and some liquid nails and screws if adding heavier items

[@diaperdood1]

Since it’s made with polyurethane foam. Is there any off gassing?

[@chandrasutton4669]

Nice!!!😊🎉❤

[@gotinybefree]

Thanks! 😄

[@DSJ72]

What is with the mini split cord going down the home on the outside? That doesn’t look right!!

[@Swim136]

You sure advertise your “ grid “ ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. Real GEM of a future Neighbor. Know who future complainers will be. Beware folks.

[@lisasantak3632]

These have been sold for a long time now. I could not look at those screws day in & out. I would need all those appliances closed in with doors. Big farm sink. Sink in the bath with either a pocket or barn door to separate. I'd get one of the stick houses, but the new 3ft panel do look alot better but don't like the floor plan. The cottage had nicest floor plan but would want that wider & longer..

[@stacyhackney6100]

Nice

[@streetsmartintelligent]

Agree... more pride could be taken into these...I don't care if it's 25k or not, that's still a chunk of change.... Could at least make it look esthetically pleasing... These are only affordable to those who can or have the extra $ to finish it out if they are physically fit & know how to if not youll have to pay more to get it looking halfway decent (wonder how much extra do you think that'll be?) These homes are however perfect for solution for the homeless in all areas of the country.❤ They should start targeting cities.

[@francesn33]

Please stay tuned for how I make it esthetically pleasing. The name of the home will be revealed. I am not homeless, but I do love my little home.

[@ohHappyDay-zi9mr]

They can no longer get the remnant door panels, but I love the idea of repurposing all that steel and closed cell spray foam to keep it out of the landfill, and provide affordable homes for people who are able to add a little sweat equity to polish and customize it. ❤ Enormous storage loft, too!

[@streetsmartintelligent]

I will Ms. Frances, glad you are able to finish it out to your liking.. These types of "unfinished" tinies for the total of just the asking price is & would be a blessing for so many unhoused people in all walks of life though. (If only our government would truly help to end all this)

[@karenebarker9244]

That wood trim to hide electric is odd at the ceiling fan. Also the trim in the kitchen backsplash just stops midway. Those could be done better. Looks unfinished?

[@francesn33]

It is not a finished product. None of these are. I will be matching the wood with another piece to mirror it. It will then be painted. The kitchen back board will be trimmed in white and then backsplash added. That backboard will be stained just like the butcherblock.

[@ohHappyDay-zi9mr]

​@@francesn33 - Sounds lovely 😍

[@karenebarker9244]

@@francesn33 That sounds nice! I love that little house and am glad it will be more finished. It will make a sweet home. We are considering the Cottages ourselves. It is looking like a lovely community.

[@lovematters7122]

I agree. ITH had them coming out of some mini splits too. Also if they need those covers, they should make them out of the same material as the wall panels. That would keep them fireproofed to safely house electrical wiring!🤔

[@DSJ72]

I hate to keep complaining but what is going on with the wood trimming to the tan? I don’t think anyone inspected this home!

[@francesn33]

@DSJ72 I had Brian inspect it and Will. Dan brought the house to Alabama for me inspected it too. I am sorry my house does not meet your expectations, but I knew it is a shell that I needed to finish. I hope you will follow the coming videos to see what I do with it.

[@SherylGoins]

Would we be sharing internet, or can we get wired internet 8in case we work from home?

[@gotinybefree]

Yes we can provide a hardwire internet drop if needed

[@DSJ72]

I would like the home sitting there east and west direction!!

[@reynetallents]

Lots of people have installed a bifold door on the bathroom...

[@DSJ72]

I would put better gutters on!!

What does RJO in this case mean

[@SharonUK]

Randy Jones Original

[@streetsmartintelligent]

No stairs put in😮😮😮😮😢😢 Smart move on getting on demand hot water You really need to check into getting some air exchangers to prevent mold build up... And spray foam insulate the underbelly.

[@francesn33]

@streetsmartintelligent I will have a custom ladder that will cost 1/3 of the cost of the stairs, and that loft is for guests, not my bedroom

[@streetsmartintelligent]

@francesn33 That's good. I saw a tiny house under 28k a 2-1, they had a stand up catwalk connecting both lofts which were stand up, but the most interesting were these heavy weights attached to cables with a seat to access the lofts...

[@francesn33]

@streetsmartintelligent I have to be careful with what I build. There are no roof rafters or headers in these types of homes. There will be a cottage feel to this home. There will either be cut curtains to hide the hot water or a custom door. This is a work in progress. I will not use spray foam because of the chemicals. I am in a temperate climate, so I want ventilation and a barrier more. I will have ventilation.

[@streetsmartintelligent]

​@francesn33 Same her with the chemical aspect, I said spray foam as a generalized statement. There is a rubberized type of solution that's made from only used rubber tire pieces & saw dust. Hiding your hot water heater check with door-blind companies and lowes, getting louver doors cut to size would look nice.

[@ohHappyDay-zi9mr]

@@streetsmartintelligent - This home already has closed cell spray foam insulation under the floor deck. It's well insulated and won't be driven on the road. It'll be set up on this property with skirting added.

[@carol07643]

Good video. When do you think you’ll have rental property ready?

[@taga2699]

That model is not an RJO I believe ITH refers to it as the American Dream, which is the 8x24 double dormer incred box The RJO model, the bathroom & kitchen are parallel

[@shanester8712]

Randy started calling these RJO too. But you're right the original RJO does have kitchen and bathroom parallel

[@rondagipson2184]

The music during this video was extremely annoying! Could barely hear you!

[@donnawalker5597]

Looks like the ac on outside is so high, a pain to service?

[@janiceduvall9320]

Looks unfinished with nails in the walls. Appliances? Ugly

[@Life-Is-Short23]

Basically a blank slate for the homeowner to decorate to their liking. Homeowners know choose what style/model they want. ITH has built very basic complete homes to large extravagant tiny homes. Look back through years of videos. 😊

[@francesn33]

@janiceduvall9320 I paid cash for a DIY. I am sorry It does not please you. I have paid for my appliances and they will be delivered 7/12. I Have to paint first. Nothing will be finished until all painting inside and out is completed. I would not pay 75 to 160k for a tiny home ever. I felt comfortable with my budget and adore this community. I hope coming videos will change your mind.

[@streetsmartintelligent]

A litho large scale mural sized scenery (much like wallpaper) would hide screws half way up the walls, stucco or pebble the rest with an accentuated color. Large mirrors work wonders, took a wardrobe mirror from Walmart, buildt up a plaster Paris thick frame around it, painted it to match my color theme, placed LED lights behind it. Many many things can be done, if one has the physical abilities & the money.

[@rondagipson2184]

This house looks horrible inside!! The plugs are put in wrong up in the loft, they should of ran the backsplash the whole length of counter in the kitchen, in the ceiling in the living room ceiling board should of ran the whole length of the ceiling! That is just a few problems that looks terrible in this home!! I would be so pissed!!!

@@DSJ72 I am not mad. I am fine. I knew that there would be adjustments. I will be making many improvements. I can make it just the way I want. That is the beauty of it. I have no mortgage. I will pay 300 rent. My utilities and insurance combined are less than 200. I am happy. I am sorry you do not like my home. Maybe you will like it better once I have completed my plans.

[@ohHappyDay-zi9mr]

@@DSJ72 - This home was customized for the owner who has her own plans for decorating it. What you call a backsplash is not a backsplash. It's a chute for the electrical wiring. The owner has plans to extend that and install a backsplash. She's got some great ideas for how to finish this home out to make it hers, and I can't wait to see it all come together. 😀 I'm excited for her❣️

That rjo look like it was a rush job did not like it.😢

[@davidwolfe7777]

It's an inexpensive diy👍

[@streetsmartintelligent]

@davidwolfe7777 Really? Inexpensive to cover up all those screws & bent flashing at ceiling line, guess it depends what's used to conceal it. (Ie...wood strips would be too costly) Build a U shaped bed against window, raise the floor (deep storage underneath) RV table in the center raises up & down OR Install room divider/ closet Starving artist style "stain glass" all windows half way up Close up conceal all that stuff under the counter overhang Install open cabinets & pull out pantry Rip out one piece shower, install soaking tub/overhead rain head Lay down ceramic floor tiles Appliances! Outside lighting It's gonna cost quite a bit more....

[@davidwolfe7777]

@@streetsmartintelligent Really, I would love to put some sweat equity into one of those. It's not for everyone though. In an ideal world we would all have 3 or 4 beds and as many baths. I know people that are living in a van or car because they can't afford a flipping studio apartment that's 1200 and up. They would love one of those RJO's.
