Couple's CUSTOM Tiny House! grey water recycling system & amazing deck

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

John & Rachel designed & built their dream tiny house on wheels, equipped with solar power & grey water recycling system. Comes to 500 sqft with lofts--plenty of room for them & their 4 pets! They scored a dreamy parking spot on a small ranch in Santa Cruz Mtns. Now are great friends with their older host, who they help around the property--a win-win for all! See their Instagram in the description above. 👉 *WATCH more DIY tiny house tours:* kzbin.info/aero/PLlvBXhDyr9H2enJoCP-vz-IUHRHKvS9aJ

[@Lil-Jack-Jack]

Great couple, amazing build esp with the deck, pergola- love the beautiful space outdoors, and the solar panels that weren’t mentioned. John, you should consider being a consultant for tiny home living, the house is beautifully done!! 👏 ;) When can you help us with our build!!!!! 😉

[@rebrownell]

@@Lil-Jack-Jack Thank you so much! Iv’e subjected that very same thing to John. We love answering questions on tiny house living.

[@ImDBatty1]

@@rebrownell What colour paint did you use in the kitchen? My tiny is being built as we speak, and the fiancee and I are anamored with the colour you picked out! 😍 🖤🦇

[@rebeccacarlson9166]

Great video, once again! Thank you! 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@sis_devine]

I can honestly say this is my favorite tiny home video. The design, the location, and the fullness of it all. I also love the couple, they were terrific at explaining the finances and being transparent.

[@Johnnyred51]

Rachel is my niece. She and John have made me so proud of them both!

[@rebrownell]

Thank you Uncle John! I’m so glad you enjoyed our video🥰

[@kathleenp9643]

I can certainly see why! ❤

[@pdq5465]

Congratulations on your decisions, your financial position, your pets & the fact that you have each other & a living situation that you love. It’s wonderful.

[@rebrownell]

❤️🙏 thank you and I'm so glad you enjoyed our video.

[@mikiyachi2]

Lots of people build a house, but these two really REALLY built a home 🏡 ❤️

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@jameslee2615]

Yes their happy home is so inviting to live in.Wis them all the best always.

[@Southamericangirl42]

And _with_ doggy bedbunks!

[@ragemodels]

Love all the windows especially when you Have beautiful trees and Nature as your Nieghbors!!! And the wonderful Animals !!! Doggos catto and horses !!! Great Job guys !!!👏👏👏👏🌿🌌🏡🐾🐕🐾🐈🌳👍

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Seriously an amazing setup! And we just love how the formed such a strong mutually beneficial relationship with their host

[@Bess9779]

I'm retired now, but if I was a younger woman looking for a husband, being able to build like John would be a priority. Lol. He did an amazing job!!!! The whole place is fantastic.

[@7Jennifer]

What a sweet couple! I can't say enough about how fantastic their home is, including everything they've done outside. It's all so lovely, cozy and comfy and just a place I'd be thrilled to call home. Animals, included! I especially love the outside space and the kitchen. That green in the kitchen is really great.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Truly lovely folks & an impressive achievement!

[@rebrownell]

Thank you so much! A lot of work went into it, and was completely worth it!

[@pearlpark7259]

The bit at the end about creating a strong bond and a life-long partnership while building this house was so awesome.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Truly a priceless outcome of their build ❤️

[@rebrownell]

Thank you. I think the most wonderful part of building this house with John is how our relationship grew stronger. We built this house in our first year of marriage and once we were done, I truly felt no matter what obstacles that come across our path I know we have the strength to get through it. Truly a blessing.

[@HoagieHut]

I love this tiny and this couple! Their voices are so soothing. Their presentation so eloquent. And their story so sweet. This is going on my top 10 all time KZbin videos for certain!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Oh wow! 💗💕

[@rebrownell]

Ow wow Christina, what a complement! Thank you so much. 🥰

[@leanneadams2549]

Yah this made my top 10 also !!!! ❤️🏡❤️

[@GabrielaDey]

This tiny home is amazing 🤩 and the outdoor space, view, horses, nature! Just perfect.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

They sure won the parking spot lottery! 😁😊

[@leanneadams2549]

So lucky !!! Three horses as neighbors? Perfect!!!!! Gorgeous house, gorgeous animals, gorgeous location!!!! Thank you for showing me !!!

[@teresapadrick7]

A dream home located in paradise! I’m very happy for this lovely couple and their family of pets.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

A real slice of heaven ☺️✨

[@ellenhal1537]

This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to create various types of garden buildings. The book provides clear and detailed instructions with numerous photos. kzbin.infoUgkxBE-xSmFU7PIaMFUmmhnFxE035s5svtxeAs a novice, I appreciated the book's step-by-step approach to the basics of building. The book also appeals to the more advanced DIY enthusiast with projects ranging from simple to complex. The book is up to date with the latest trends, such as solar panels, green roofs, and sweet chestnut shakes. The book has inspired me to pursue more projects in the future.

[@marywalker2896]

Y,all find your little slice of heaven . So glad your landlord is family now. Beautiful little home.god bless. Stay safe.

[@heathermunoz6282]

Finally, I found a family with plenty of critters in a tiny home! The land owner couldn't have found more amazing tenets and vice versa. I love the deck and the amazing scenery and view.

[@Southamericangirl42]

I'm just tickled pink about the doggy bedbunks.

[@jennyfulcher8035]

John & Rachel's tiny home is really cozy, homey, and well designed for them and their pets. I love both the exterior and interior of their home, which seems so spacious with lots of windows, plants, and personal touches. The brick wallpaper looks real! Enjoy your life in your tiny. Jenny

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We were amazed how good their wallpaper looks! 😊

[@rebrownell]

Thank you! Working with wallpaper was a challenge, but once I got the hang of it, it is a wonderful way add a lot of color and depth to walls without adding in a lot of weight into the trailer.

[@MissSmudge78]

Oh my goodness you guys. Thank you for finding John & Rachel. This video has really made my day. Their personal journey, relationship and their tiny house tour. Just so inspiring. And that view ... Gave me hope about a few things. HUGS, Veronica 💜

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Most welcome! Glad to share this inspiring pair & their beautiful home ❤️

[@rebrownell]

Thank you Veronica for your kind and flattering comment. I’m so pleased to hear you enjoy our time home 💕

[@carolynek1875]

Your place is simply beautiful and ,to have it paid off in 3 years that's fantastic!! beautiful place, beautiful couple ,God bless you both and all those beautiful animals!!!

[@suerussell497]

Outstanding build! Everything is so natural with beauty, peace and joy. Enjoy your dream.

[@hypol5726]

How lucky to have each other like that

[@robinwyckoff7118]

Such talent carpentry, plumbing, money managing, gardening,landscaping, beekeeping, painting, flooring , and sewing (I see at the end). May God bless your marriage with years of contentment and good health.👏👏👏

[@808_ISLAdeYSLA]

Tiny? There's nothing tiny about it. The best I have seen. Location and all. To live around nature. The best I want this. 👍

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Lives large for sure! Still just 500 sqft with lofts but with that amazing deck, much bigger!

[@lizzieb6311]

Everything about this story makes my heart happy. Lovely and extremely well planned home… stunning location.. the bees 🐝 they way they have become “family” with the landowner… the reuse of water… living in harmony and in a beautiful way that they give back. Paradise ♥️

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Love reading your comment! It is a wonderful story of escaping the norms to create a solution that works for you but also ends up being mutually beneficial relationship with landowner and local ecosystem ☺️✨

[@rebrownell]

Thank you so much. We are so blessed to be here and have such a wonderful relationship with out landlord 🙏

[@fredadunne5382]

Wonderful house! And a couple that look at each other with such love. Makes me smile.

[@carolewarrenrealtor]

You had me smiling the entire video. Two beautiful souls vibing all around positive energy throughout their lovely home...even the animals are chilled. Ideal location, views and lifestyle. Wishing you more smiles, hugs and ❤️.

[@kallasusort2986]

I love what the two of you have created together. You have a lovely life and in a wonderful community setting of supporting each other. This is a great example of what life is meant to be. Congratulations!

[@lizh1988]

The light through the trees is so beautiful. That thought of making the walls different is good, the brick wallpaper really looks good.

[@rebrownell]

Thank you.

[@janiefox3458]

This is without a doubt the nicest Tiny I've ever seen - I dream of having one, but my state doesn't see it my way - and I'm now 75 so the lofts wouldn't be easy for me. I love this one.

[@Soo_Blessed]

I'm 70 and look wistfully also Probably won't happen for me but so happy the tiny house movement has taken off For many owning a home won't just be a dream It can be a reality 🙂

[@kamikazitsunami]

One of the best tiny houses that I have seen but I do agree with her about the closet space.

[@jenniferbates7656]

I love your house so glad you are both happy, you could move the washer and dryer to an outside shed that could be built on the deck or under the overhang. This would give you the space in the bathroom for clothes etc. wishing you both the best, enjoy each moment

[@rebrownell]

Thank you Jennifer that great suggestion! I never even considered having our washer and dryer on the outside of the house and freeing up that space for a closet. Definitely will consider. 🤔

[@RabbiAnaMusicArt]

Hands down the prettiest, most livable "tiny home" I have ever seen. There isn't anything tiny about the functionality of this beautiful home.

[@shelleys4039]

This couple is such a great example of working together and sharing life. House is so thought out and know they will enjoy this beautiful home!

[@helentaylor7132]

All around WOW!! Loving couple, fantastic choices, perfect timing--does it get any better than this?! Thanks for showing us what you've accomplished! Wishing you many, many years of bliss!! And the animals, well, they're the cherry on top, lol. ❤

[@rebrownell]

Thank you Helen for your very sweet comment. It’s been such a wonderful experience sharing my tiny house with other, and reading about how inspiring our video has been. When we started this journey I was so impressed by what we had accomplished together. I have always been a true believer in tiny house living and how beneficial they are in providing relief to our increasing housing market while providing low impact on our environment 🌎

[@janusjoplin3987]

Beautiful job. We can see you both gentle loving people. You made a wonderful home and marriage!

[@j.v.1973]

Beautiful home! Love all you have done. The deck and outdoor area is beautiful! Grreat job! Blessings to you and your animals 👍😁

[@rebrownell]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@katzcrow640]

You can see the Pride an Love in your Build Absolutely Beautiful. Thank you for Sharing 🌿👍💕❤️💕🌿 An I LOVE all your Fur Babies now that's Family.

[@kelliedoxiern4308]

Love this couple and their home and furkids. Very laid back and calm.

[@rebrownell]

One of the main reason why we wanted to move to the mountains and get away from the concrete jungle, slow life down a bit.

[@sashastarshanti3599]

I'm so happy for this lovely couple and their precious animal family, to live in such a beautiful home together forever.

[@janonthemtn]

John is amazingly talented! A great couple.

[@IceLynne]

Out of the hundreds of tiny homes I've seen, this one utilizes space the best and checks off all the boxes for me. Bravo! 👏

[@TinyMaths]

I love that 'breakfast nook' by the window. That reminds me of coffee shop window seats that I used to escape to when I needed space from roommates or landlords I was living with. Except, they have it in their home. It might seem like an insigificant thing, but the idea of being sat at that table, with view outside of the window, to me, that's the epitome of therapeutic.

[@Skiridr22]

😂 I’m happy Rachel challenged you thinking out load, this is a beautiful build. I love the features of the home along with the detail poured into the exterior, I love a warm cozy home but like most the outdoor space is a big must. Love you guys thanks for sharing your home. And Rachel thanks for your service.

[@annapri1526]

This couple is absolutely adorable. It makes me so happy when he lit up talking about bee keeping.♥️

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

such important bee work too!

[@rebrownell]

John has been wanting to have bee colones for as long as I've known him and I'm sure even longer than that, but has always lived within the city and it was hard to have them until we moved to the mountains. They bring so much importance to the property helping the plants thrive, and make everything bloom so beautifully.

[@anniecochrane3359]

Beautiful design and I appreciated the equanimity of this couple and the non humans they live with.

[@rosalindtaylor3479]

The talent of this couple. Gorgeous! 80k!

[@beckynicol]

Definitely one of the best tiny home builds I've seen - and the deck and yard are unbelievably beautiful!!

[@karenphens.8i610]

Love the deck, kitchen, great space and people. I would keep bedrooms on first floor, cannot deal with lofts except for storage, too claustrophobic, to each is own. Adorable couple, all the best!

[@carolemmwilliams-UK]

What a lovely, lovely couple. I really enjoyed being a ‘visitor’ in their beautiful beautiful home. 😊

[@Izastwin]

This couple truly out did themselves. This tiny house is gorgeous, it looks inviting it looks so comfortable, the outside is beautiful. Their furbabies all look so happy to be there. I love that they have a mutual love of animals too. Such a wonderful couple and now blessed with a wonderful home they built. 😊

[@kikomartin-pr]

Lovely couple. The house is amazing. Great job. It looks great and the deck is beautiful too.

[@chrisitinabobinski3798]

A very nice home with warm ,calming colors really makes it come together the green on slate blue goes together so seamlessly and the medium dark wood makes it seem more like a classic home . Your very lucky to found a partner and landlord to make your life more rich.congrats.

[@choctaw5050]

I adore this couple. They seem so happy and complete. I forgot to notice… but I think they have a beautiful home…. Lol

[@mkjones155]

Nice house, but honestly the thing that impressed me most was how sweet and warm this couple is.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Love that 💕

[@rebrownell]

Thank you 🥰

[@calliey59]

This is a wonderfully designed home and the decor is excellent. So much thought went into functionality. Maybe they should consider interior design for tiny homes.

[@lindar4648]

I have seen tons of these videos and I think your home is my favorite. It’s just gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing your home.

[@relaxinghomemaking6674]

Y’all did an excellent job indoors and out! So inspiring what you two have created here. I love it all!

[@dioniciamarchena6933]

You guys are beautiful together. Your Home is Absolutely Stunning. It’s an Excellent job, we’ll done.

[@homebase967]

This is one of the very best tours... Both husband and wife are so expressive and able to explain what they have and why they have it that way!! Wonderful home!!❤️

[@lisahemphill9139]

You, your pets, your home and your location exude peace and tranquility. KUDOS !

[@bobfritz8705]

There's so much to love about their home. I'm in love with both their full-size kitchen and bathroom with both the full-size tub and laundry. The inside outside dining setup is fantastic. I also like their bedroom with its king-size bed. Their deck and plants just expand their living space but also gives it a sense of an actual yard like a full-size home would have. What a great couple.

[@craftlover9702]

What a beautiful home and oasis you built together! Laying a strong foundation whether it be a home or a relationship is key. It looks like you mastered both!! Well done! Wishing you both all the best!!

[@Hdiggyz]

Animal lovers are my favorite! So happy for your family!

[@peggygallagher5802]

Wow! Such an endearing couple. Absolutely love their home. They did an amazing job on a beautiful landscape. As an animal lover, I fell in love with them from the get go. My favorite house so far. Especially with all of the outdoor space to enjoy. What heaven. God Bless them with a continued life of love, happiness and fulfillment together. 🙏💜✌️

[@sonjabernard8994]

They did a beautiful job with design and build. I could easily live there. Love the animals

[@dnllmaurer1]

This is a fabulous home & a lovely couple in a perfect natural setting. Everything they did is wonderful & suits their needs. Building the home together, adding the huge deck, solar panels, grey water system, it's a private mini paradise. Really admire the idea of living in harmony with the property owner, to co-op for the grounds, garden, horses, bees & assist with building maintenance or chores. It's a mutually beneficial relationship for all to enjoy. Wishing them a long, happy, healthy life together!

[@mizfrenchtwist]

hello , what a lovely , lovely couple......their home is a beauty , 500 SQ FT amazing , i never saw that footage look so good , so spacious..........a full sized home has NOTHING on this . great share , thank you , for sharing............👏👏👏👏.....

Absolutely beautiful/lovely. I’m so very happy for the both of you. I told my husband we need to build our own tiny house but he thinks I’m kidding. The both of you were very informative which was awesome. I appreciated in you both sharing your home and totally enjoyed your complete tour. I’m originally from California and presently residing in Florida and ready to move!🤪 This home is definitely one of my favorites overall. Continue to enjoy your home. Hope you don’t get offended by me saying “God is always GOOD!

Wow such a lovely beautiful home and I love that they built it together my hubby and I moved in with each other the very first night that we met and we were together 25 years until I had to take him off life support so I can totally understand living with somebody like that for 24 hours a day seven days a week in such a small space we faced so many health challenges and homelessness and losing all that we owned and yet we survived and this COUPLE it looks like will do the same thing so kudos to them they’re a beautiful couple and they’ve built a wonderful life together💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
