Would you live in this tiny home? ➡ Start from the Beginning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6jWZnuolqZob5Y

[@smilingkelly5251]

I would love a tiny home like this! I need to be forced into a bit of minimalism and have less space to clean!

[@dellmerlin6328]

@@AmbitionStrikes Yes. I would like to build one someday.

[@thatsreality5184]

Do you have plans n this build and can they be purchased$$$, or found on your channel?

[@kaelidovid1531]

@@AmbitionStrikes seriously? A repeat? I'm done! I'd rather watch politics!!

[@Justiceincorporated.]

I’m wondering how many hours of work it took to create this beautiful living space for mom. Sped up it goes quick.

[@robjohnston8632]

Wow, Thanks for putting this together! Some people think a tiny house is quick and easy to build, but after watching this, they can see it is still a massive amount of work. Having this video is a great way to look back and celebrate the huge effort you all put into this. I am glad to see you are taking time to showcase and celebrate your accomplishments!

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Love a good Timelapse! The tiny house turned out so beautiful

[@ethandenson7182]

Y’all’s commitment to getting things done and working as a team is really inspiring. This was a cool project, really enjoyed the build series, I forgot some of the steps. Thanks for sharing this stuff.

[@bobothree]

Amazing. Most people aren't paying for these videos and they demanding fresh video every week. Do your own thing. Thank you for what yoou show us.

[@MarkHooten]

I'm not "demanding" anything, but I live vicariously through Reckless Riley and anxiously await new views. :-) It's all good, I'm glad to see them taking more time for themselves and family.

[@donalddodson7365]

Agree! It is the age of entitlement. I enjoyed the compressed versions.😁

It is stunning to me that people will complain about this free content.

[@FelonyRecords]

🎉🎉🎉🎉 right. Entitled much?

[@shenhaitao6927]

People who are self centered. Just bc they don't want to watch it means no one else wants to either.I watched each episode and still enjoy this condensed time lapse.

[@shingitha]

It's morning for others, and it's noon for me here in South Africa 🇿🇦 . I love your content.

[@mrlatino1964]

I totally love how you 2 have grown so so much, and you've taken me along on your journey. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with me......

[@toddtraficanti4832]

Thanks for the recap video. I watched you two build the cool tiny house in the driveway and then move it finished up on the inside to make moms place a comfortable place. I am super impressed with you two and how you work together as a kick ass team. Keep up the great work and don’t let ANYBODY bring you down for what and how you choose to put out the content you are doing. Thanks and god bless you and that beautiful baby boy of yours.

[@_aullik]

Some people like watching those Montages. Specially those who have not seen the entire series but also some who have. I do not like watching those but I'll still leave you a comment for engagement. Until next week.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks for the comment! ☺️

[@Wordsnwood]

+1. Have a great week!

[@vivianlawrence778]

Courtney you're editing skills are amazing 👍 Don't you wish these projects came together as fast and easy as these time lapse videos make them look? 😆 Oliver is adorable and it's always wonderful to see Bailey and Boone 🤗🤗🤗🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@BlueSkys-Ever]

Happy tears, while watching your joyfully productive labors of love. ❤ (Good Job, Moms! (and Dads!))

[@EricUlbrich-qs1om]

Most people have no idea how difficult and time consuming the editing of this video was. Outstanding job Courtney! Love the edit at 3:30 Riley laying down the floor to the music, and you thought no one would notice....

[@wecirclethesky]

Not enough coffee in this comment thread.. I enjoyed the recap and it seems good to have around to attract new viewers. You guys are incredible!

[@normamacdougall669]

I loved watching this.😊 It reminded me of when you did the time lapse of making your truck camper. It brought smiles to my face as I remembered all the hard work and fun each of those videos were. Don't listen to the nay sayers. You are both so creative and hard workers. I always enjoy watching.

[@radioactivebanana6774]

Love seeing the whole build at once! What a great job! You two are just so amazing! Oliver is just so happy and cute!

[@anthonywright2544]

Riley's building skill are top notch. You guy make such a great team. Keep up the great content on your channel. Cant wait to see what else you have in store on your property.

[@s.m.g.m2015]

Wow so many negative comments, give the folks a break. There work hard, we all need a break. Ive watched it again to give them my support. Love you guy's blessings to you.👍💯👏🙏

[@DeadManWalking2]

Saving this one to watch again - I love time lapse. More Oliver also.

[@mrlatino1964]

Negativity is just jealousy....

[@BKAD623-hz7ln]

Watching this started me back at the beginning to rewatch this build. This was a fun project to watch and I learned a few things. Can't loose✌️

[@krazyjoesunboxingandstuff319]

On vacation in MBJ Jamaica and still can't get enough of your progress, keep up the great work.

[@akaanastasie]

Amazing job on the montage! Although I've seen every part of this project, this reminded me of how much thought and work went into it. It's inspiring

[@gonzalez519]

I gotta say, I enjoyed watching this build series very much. I wish I could do the same and live off the grid like you guys. God bless your family. ❤️✝️❤️

[@iamahood1]

Thanks for the great content! Hope you had the good times you were planning on taking on the boat. I’m sorry about all the entitled carls and karens. You deserve a good respite. New kiddo and all the projects and company you’ve been hosting. Have a good one!

[@martygrove3986]

A masterpiece in conception, fabrication, finishing, and video editting. As Jerry Garcia summed up: "...Too much of a good thing is just about right..."

[@markmitchell457]

Until it killed him.

[@PorscheSpeedster-kz6nc]

You guys are so awesome. Nice to see it in one compilation. I love the Magic Chef built in refrigerator. I do like the long episodes for all the dialogue and explanations. ❤

[@wayneullman5079]

I’ve enjoyed the week by week videos and this montage as well. Thank you. Always look forward to your videos. Think of it this way, those that are complaining like your channel so much they are addicted and therefore are jonesing because they didn’t get their fix. Poor souls

[@rlsaxton1]

Awesome video! You two did an amazing job. I’m sure your Mom (MIL) is going to love having her own space.

[@billyduffany3387]

You guys did an awesome job. You are such a great team.

[@GreyfyreShelties]

Y'all must have had a busy week. Hope it was enjoyable. Looking forward to your next project.

[@Golden-69]

That was one awesome built to watch month or two. Should have gotten Mom 40' one 😅 The love shack❤ sing it Oliver.

[@lil-redLeaf2621]

Gorgeous tiny home!!!! ❤ Definitely a great idea.

[@gregorama99]

Love the “golden retriever energy” I get from your show. Keep it up, I’m addicted! Apart from the entertainment/clicks value, why go to all the additional work/expense/heavy equipment that accompanies a connex? A 2x6 stick frame is tighter, warmer, water tight, and easy to build. I know they’re all the rage but I never understood why. Enlighten me..

[@meanderingmanat7038]

❤👍👍 great video. I remember the weekly episodes. Great job. You guys are an inspiration for me to continue with my off grid property.

[@sl0ls]

All the old men leaving comments 😂 great video and well deserving of the 1m+ views it will get. I watched the series and was awaiting this full build video. Don’t mind the haters, they obviously don’t watch as much as they claim to or they would know this is standard practice. I haven’t seen a full property tour, may have missed it, but I’d love to see a full property tour and retrospective.

[@BuckWheat0591]

The container build give me a new outlook. What a cool guest house.

[@smilingkelly5251]

Super cool to see the whole process all in one!

[@timkimbrell6602]

I like the idea of a long and short version of your projects. I’ll come back either way. Your long versions provide great content and the short ones are fun to watch afterwards.

[@PrestonBurtonHuman]

You two make it all look so easy, I know it isn't though! I have been watching since you started at the Idaho property and I just want to say the editing is so good. Like it was always good, but lately it I think it has been more creative and fun and I am here for it!

[@souravagrawal4175]

The way you have utilized the whole space is just amazing.

[@theburtseoni]

Although this quick version of the tiny house build was interesting, I think I enjoyed the longer individual episodes. But the faster version will work well for folks who are in a hurry and want the quick version. Still, it was a really epic build! Good job guys!

[@jlfdep]

Wow, just amazing, as always. Can't wait to see Grandma in it. Now all it needs is a nice rocking chair or porch swing to take in that beautiful view on the deck. Great job.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

The porch definitely needs a rocking chair!!

[@stuartfoster3067]

Creating a time-lapse is a lot of editing work. Good job! Like your choice of music for this one too. BTW, I watch all your vids and I didn't mind seeing this again😊

[@fixer4art]

I love how smart your designs are. I would really like to build one exactly like this for my dad's cabin up north... not changing a thing. Just a BTW, my 8 yrold daughter loves the channel. You both problem solve so well, are very entertaining and Courtney is a great role model. I wish I saw women building and using heavy machinery when I was a young welder.

[@Hopeinformer]

This is possibly my favorite time lapse build video. It looked like so much fun

[@seanday68]

It was a good project. I hope Courtney's mom really gets to enjoy the little house.

[@esafstro]

People are complaining because they really enjoy the content. They look forward to a new video each week, excited to see what’s new, and are disappointed when it’s a repeat or a bye week. That’s the problem with a standard release schedule. They’re conditioned for new “episodes” every week and this isn’t TV. Go more random on the video drops I say. More random cadence even if it’s still averages to weekly. Go Mustangs.

[@JohnNascimentoArt]

I enjoyed the recap of this build. You did a great job packing (editing) all the episodes into one 16 minute video. 👏👏 Cheers.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

This WAS a really cool build... and it's just the sort of thing families should be doing. I mean, the best way to build and maintain family relationships is to work it out so you all live on the same homestead... you all have skin in the game... and you all chip in to maintain everything... expanding your housing options as the family grows. It's perfect. I hope you can bring more of your family into this... but I keep thinking that you are going to need another bedroom or two.... and so you'd need to actually build a house. Then everybody moves up a rung on that housing plan... right? Or something like that. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@carefreeclubhouse1714]

Great montage, but honestly, Oliver was the star of this show!

[@johnwatson7705]

We follow your every move and have watched all episodes. Did not expect a repeat. I guess I still have my coffee to enjoy 😒😒😒

[@smilingkelly5251]

I wouldn’t call this a repeat, it’s a recap/timelapse of the full project, which is a great way to reach new viewers and compile the entire project in one spot.

[@barbaradecker1745]

So much hard work and love in one video! ❤

[@OdinsOdyssey5252]

A Masterpiece! No more words needed!

[@band3rTripleIQ]

Waaw such a cool project ! amazing job i hope MOM is happy :D Good job

[@jgtoll]

Impressive skills on the build and on the editing. Keep up the excellent work!! It really is a pleasure watching your videos.

Having watched the build from start to completion already , didn't bother to watch this....but pressed like button anyway

[@wesdraper8749]

Great way to start off the morning watching you guys. I’ve watched the other episodes but it was nice to see a montage.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

It was fun editing this one and seeing all of the work that went into this project in one place!

Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@DeniseOsipov-sb2eq]

I've been waiting, another upload from you!

[@AC-pr9vr]

Amazing timelapse! Gives a great perspective on how much really goes into a project like this. A weekly 20 min video of each step is always fun to watch, but I feel like we, the viewers, lose track of how much time and energy it takes to complete something like this! Three months work edited into roughly 17 minutes!

[@brucebennett5759]

I call the Manager Time.When the boss describes the whole 3 month project in 10 minutes and the grips about why it took you 2 months to DO it because it "should" have been done in the same amount of as it took him to sit at his desk and describe it. 😮

[@dominikborc4051]

Beautiful. You did a great job guys ❤

[@fatcatdan65]

Love it I would live in it looks comfy and cozy

[@CptMiller89]

I think a lot of us are spoiled. Cant have new content every week, its just not feasible. I like the re-run. Just keep up the good work!

[@peterdebad1]

Would really enjoy living in this tiny home. Don't know if I could afford the cost of building one..😁😁😉. Thanks for posting this one. Always enjoy your content. Peace!

Building at this speed will cause every type of accident 😂👽🗿👽🗿👽

[@kingrafa3938]

I love this build!

[@donalddodson7365]

Cool to see in compressed time format. Thank you! I imagine people are lining up to order one. 😄

[@nevillewaite7308]

Epic montage 😊

[@peter-hr1gl]

I did find this a very interesting series when you published each individual segment. I still am not clear where the water for the unit (may have missed it in the original episodes) comes from and if the few solar panels provide sufficient power for the AC (I'm sure it can support lights and the induction cooktop). While I like the concept, the space is WAY too small for me to ever consider more than perhaps a night or two (like a hotel room) stay. Would never be able to live in a box for any length of time. Hope your Mom is able to enjoy it. (Of course if it's just a place to sleep and warm a cup of tea or coffee and perhaps warm up a pastry or something in the morning before heading out....might work for that). Do love all the thought, prep, and building that went into it.

[@suzannekrause9601]

I love the compilation videos. The joke is on us. This video is not speeded up. It seems to me that this is how fast you work. All other videos are slowed down so we can keep up! You’re that good! 👍👍 Have a great week.

[@tomskowronski2870]

Wow settle down everyone it a creative way they came up with to probably either get some personal time or get ahead on some other projects that they have banking video footage. I would imagine. Or maybe they just went on vacation they work very hard to put out the things they do already

[@robertgrey5993]

Sunday is here, ambition strikes.

[@captainkirk1745]

Maybe, many people didn't see it the 1st time. Besides, it is good footage and they have lives too.

[@fredrikg120]

Great time lapse!

[@ClydeThomas-i2c]

I think everyone has the right to be disappointed. I do understand that editing video is a time consuming task that Courtney must do while raising a young child. KZbin is a major reason they can afford to live off grid with the comforts they are creating. This is a perfect video for a midweek drop however, new content is understandably desired by the subscribers. I was disappointed today but I will continue to watch their journey making a great life in Northern Idaho and look forward to new content. I do commend Courtney, excellent editing!

[@dellmerlin6328]

Now the this tiny house is finished, what things worked well that you would do with the next house? What things would you change/add to make the next house better? A follow up video would be great. Maybe next year build a new improved super version 2.0 tiny house. When you hit one million subscribers give version one away.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

That is a great idea! We would definitely do a few things differently next time. Giving a tiny house away when we hit 1 million subs would be the best!!

[@markmitchell457]

If you had watched all their videos, you would know this is their second tiny house, and it is the new and improved model.

[@mrsdig57]

I enjoyed time lapsed of this build.

[@andersmartensson1851]

I can't believe you were able to build all of that in 16 minutes

[@markmitchell457]

These could be a good business if the numbers align. I would buy one. I suspect you could sell all you could build if it's profitable. As a retired single guy, this would be perfect. Thanks Have fun.
