Cute kitty: Mom, mom, mom, pay attention to meeee...oh, a drink! 🐈‍⬛😄This house is spectacular! The build, the location, the outside living area, how it's decorated, that kitchen.... what a dream!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Their kitty steals the show! 😻 Thanks for sharing the love

[@yenifervazquez4453]

Love the kitty ❤….. beautiful house and family 🥰

[@adalineproulx9773]

Lol i noticed that too 😂

[@marciam6224]

The dog in the last segment reminds us of our favorite dog we've ever had, Nigel. We had him for 14 years (adopted him from the pound when he was 8 weeks old) when he passed away. I laid on the floor next to him and cuddled him until he took his last breath. We've had other dogs before and since him but he was the one we bonded with the most.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

So sorry for your loss! Rest in peace sweet Nigel ❤💕

[@nata3467]

Bunkbeads for the dogs!!!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

One of our very favorite parts of their tiny house build! 💓🐶🐕

[@ninjanana102]

I love this house & this couple with all their fur babies! ❤

[@hopegoodknight4913]

Absolutely gorgeous love it! You did a great job! Love the colors and brick wall!

[@joanneganon7157]

I love it🎉. The outdoor space makes it stunning 😍.

[@niks966]

I dream of such tiny home of my own...

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Hope you achieve your dream one day 💕

[@DawnOldham]

The home is full of unique decor. It's just beautiful. Nothing cookie cutter about the house. Taking their time, using a lot of elbow grease and working with 60% free/recycled materials resulted in one of the nicest homes and deck areas I've seen!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

So true! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@anapaulacrawford5837]

You guys are awesome! Beautiful home , the cost was incredible! I love your beautiful place ! 😊

[@janeysiegrist5061]

Oh.. this is a nice space. Feels very comfy and light

[@petranilla14]

The cat drinking from the mug is too cute!!

[@lovis3368]

Amazing!! Such a wonderful home!🥳

[@Kim-lc3fv]

I love all those pups, kitties and ponies living at the tiny.

[@angeladawn805]

Love, love, love. This brings me so much joy to see😊😊 beautiful house(s) - beautiful couple ❤❤❤

[@leeanne7169]

[@aletheasmith1013]

Wonderful Tiny Home and wonderful story 👏🏽 Enjoy your life and the home you have built ♥️

[@debbralehrman5957]

Love the look of there place.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 🍁🍂🦃🍂🍁

[@michaelbourke2111]

I have seen this couple before on another channel, love them, their home and their outlook :)

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We featured a tour of their home about a year ago! They had so much great advice that didn’t make it in the video so had to share in our new DIY Tiny Home Build Stories series 😄😊

[@thebossmj79]

Love it ❤

[@LunaGuinevereStudio]

I hope to have a tiny house like this someday, I really love the bar area! I also want to share that here in the Philippines, this won't be considered a tiny house hehe. The houses here for a lower-middle-class family are about 58 sq feet and sometimes smaller. And most houses are sitting beside each other, meaning no space at all. We really have tiny houses here in the PH but they are mostly built in brick and mortar by conglomerate companies who only want profits.

[@train2203]

Such a lovely couple :)

[@marianfrances4959]

Im with Rachel on those windows!👍😎🇨🇦

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Can’t have too many! 😸

[@yveszusje5023]

Wow your cat is super cute!🖤

[@sharonknorr1106]

We have a dog named Ben who is the spitting image of your dog on the top bunk - he is a husky/lab mix with shepherd and pit pull and a few others. I mean, they look like twins. Love the house - great job.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

🐶🐶❤️❤️

[@wilmatitzgreaux5086]

I love this! It’s a dream of mine, but there is no way I could ever do this by myself

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

You never know what you can learn to do!

[@SoCalFreelance]

❤Kitty 🐱

[@trishae5601]

Love your journey but why is there no step at the top of the stairs?

[@tehilla9]

❤❤❤

[@juliecameronandrews9837]

I have either met John somewhere or he has an identical twin in South Central Missouri! (?)🤷🏻‍♀️

[@maggiemay5510]

I would have loved to have seen the whole house. Maybe next time ....TU

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We don’t show the full house in this because in DIY Tiny Home Build Stories series, we focus on building insights, tips & how-tos. 😊 You can watch the full tour of this Tiny House here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX3UdKyFjdxsY80

[@ruthnash8486]

I think she should take a drink out of her cup lol meow

[@elainemears5451]

Would rather see just a tour rather than answering all the questions!

[@thomasbentley7747]

Isn't this sorta a repeat?

[@thomasbentley7747]

I guess it's extra from the original episode

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It is extra! 😄 When we film with DIYers they have some many great insights to share, we can’t fit it all into the tour (tour link in pinned comment). So we started DIY Tiny Home Build Storie--focuses on more nitty gritty build experience, advice for others & some how-tos. New episodes every Tuesday 🛠️

[@leandrocedrick5338]

We wanna see the design, too much talk

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

There is a full video tour linked in the description! This one is specifically made to take through their decisions.

[@gloriawilliams1580]

Why is that cat on your counter where you prepare your food and then the cat is drinking out of your cup???? NASTY . . . Wouldn't eat a meal there!

[@Tsumami__]

It’s cute but being trapped with another person in a small space is a literal nightmare

[@jessiepapabear4272]

Sorry, grossed out by cat drinking out of cup.I'lll catch next video, cant finush this one. Love the channel.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks for the love 😸

[@lia12345Abc]

Can’t stand the way you stop the video.. distracting
