A surprise 8 YEARS in the making

[@KendallandGlenn]

Hope you enjoyed the surprise friends!! We can’t wait to share more of our tiny home build, this is going to be such an exciting year ahead and we’re so happy to have you here 😊 P.s. apologies in advance for the volume in some clips…we’re still very jet lagged!

[@cherriemater]

Your sisters reaction was priceless! ❤😂

[@TLAR24]

That’s what we call them in Canada too.

[@elmariejansen-kl4vc]

Good to see you back. Baby steps is always a good thing then you have enough time to plan and see the bigger picture grow.

[@MayaAgrippine]

Yeey .... such a nice surprise. I did the same with my family for Christmas and they were so happy. Leaving so far away is sometimes very hard but so sweet when you go back home. I'm glad i discovered your channel via Max's channel. And this will be an interesting adventure with tiny house, living in the jungle. Regards from one tropical island (Seychelles) to your tropical jungle, Maya

[@karenwebb695]

Good luck! It’s going to be marvelous!

[@KendallandGlenn]

Aw thank you so much Karen! We’re so excited!

[@SherreeHarris-c2q]

You two...soo delightful. Looking forward to future videos. Thanks for sharing! Much love!💕💕

[@Kel642]

Love the construction tshirt! Happy Year family.

[@karenlee6501]

What a wonderful surprise for your family. Loved how they all wore their crowns at the dinner table. You've started a new tradition now. So excited to see your little home come together. Love how others are sending you inspiration and ideas. It's not a race, so take your time and get what you want. All the best for an excellent New Year 🎉❤

[@angelalarrabee6631]

Love watching you guys

[@KendallandGlenn]

Thanks for watching Angela! Glad you’re here 🥰

[@moe_1886]

Surprises are the best! Surprising family you haven't seen an ages, is even better! Nice work you two! 🥰

[@FionaStracke]

There is a lot of furniture out there that is multifunctional. Such as a coffee table that can turn into a table and 4 dining chairs. I think it is called Tiny Homes here on KZbin that really cool to check out. I think they mainly are from overseas. Love the special Christmas surprise. Have fun.

[@shar71on]

I've come over from Max and Occy's channel and I'm excited to come along for the ride. 👍🐾🐾

[@surfhealthy4272]

That Occy and Leo shirt is just too much cuteness-it's almost illegal. Welcome back, though! I’m excited to see how the tiny build progresses in the coming months. Big congrats to you two!

[@perksofbeingmcgiver]

Naw, your sister! So gorgeous to be loved like that! Merry new year to you and so excited to watch you build! Trust your gut!!

[@TracysJourneys]

I'm super excited for you both.

[@PawnInTyme]

Welcome to Arizona! My home state. I do love the weather here in Southern AZ. 😊❤

[@anniewalden9697]

I am So excited for you guys. Sending love and good vibes for everything to run smoothly!🌺♥🌺

[@KendallandGlenn]

Thanks so much Annie!! We really appreciate it ❤️

[@krisg3984]

Love your enthusiasm . That land is beautiful . Happy New Year 2025

[@KendallandGlenn]

We can't wait to get started! Happy New Year to you too 🎉

[@ourwildventures]

Leo is just the cutest dog ever 🥹 so lovely you got to spend Christmas with your family this year! Great video as always ❤️

[@sythmc8600]

How adorable were your sister’s hugs. It was as though she needed to do it over and again to actually believe you were there! What a great surprise!

[@KendallandGlenn]

Aww I know!! It was so sweet, surprises are just the best! 🥹

[@nicoleleblanc6342]

Poppers are amazing at Christmas and Canadian, and when I moved to the United States, I had to bring that tradition as well. Anywhere that the English colonies migrated to they brought poppers. Such a fun tradition.

[@kaizen_5091]

Forget a coffee table.... do a continuous wrap around shallow floating table/shelf mounted to all three walls. You can make then so they can drop down out of the way or make them boxed so you have easy access storage as well. Perfect way to create a breakfast bench at the picture window.

[@slohivid]

How exciting!!! Looking forward to watching you beautiful hand crafted house unfold into a home ❤❤❤

[@garyp.7501]

As a North County San Diego'ian So glad you could come for a visit. Christmas weather was great, but the surf was big for here. La Jolla had 8 to 10ft waves. (1.75 to 2 meter for you world wide travelers.) I know that you had no time for a visit by your web friends, but know that we are all glad you had a great holiday.

[@samiam8443]

In the UK we call them ‘Christmas Crackers’ Can’t imagine a Christmas dinner without them! You have to eat your meal wearing the silly paper hat that comes out of them 😂

[@Coooeee]

I'm Australian and I call them crackers. I've never done the crossing the arms over thing. You just pick someone nearby.

[@karenges2666]

In Canada we call them christmas crackers as well. We always had them as kids growing up.

[@amieabbott2223]

Canada and the UK have so much in common with us Aussies- even down to crackers traditions 😅

[@laurarodgers8901]

Yes we call them crackers in Ireland. Bon bons are a type of sweet/ hard candy here!

[@bluedog1052]

Yeah, I'm Aussie and my family calls them crackers too...I can't imagine having Christmas dinner (lunch) if it's below 28 degrees C outside. I've never experienced one, but I don't envy a cold white Christmas, and I know a lot of Northern Hemisphere folks probably think the same about the heat for Christmas....what we grow up with I guess.

[@barrydavies2922]

Ermina Lift-top Coffee Table look on fantastic furniture. Need something like that.

[@MeganMurphy-g9i]

So looking forward to watching your dreams come alive. The joy you spread is infectious.

[@KendallandGlenn]

Awww Megan! This just made our day, thank you for the kind words 🥹 means so much!!

[@maggiecalos4101]

Leo ❤❤. Leo's gorgous, i bet he was super excited to have you back home.

[@kitcancanu114]

I'm 64 and it's always been my dream to own land and go tiny! I don't see it in my future, but I love watching your dreams come true. Congrats!

[@janeysiegrist5061]

Never give up your dream.. im manifesting a mobile life at almost 60.. the universe lives good intentions ❤

[@Thumper_whispers]

Happy New Year & New House!!! I am SO SUPER EXCITED to see your video.... lovely setting, lovely couple!! From your friend "Thumper" (on the US East Coast!)

[@KendallandGlenn]

Aww thanks so much Thumper!! You’re a legend! Means a lot to have your support from the east coast 🙌🏼🥰

[@kristileishman7463]

Love your channel! Excited to see the build out of your home. In regard to a coffee table idea (which someone might have already mentioned) make it out of a tree trunk slab. Customizable. You pick the thickness, size, live edge/smooth, on a pedestal or not. It will support any weight or a guest bed. Happy New Year!

[@jenniferbateman2537]

it’s full moon and cicadas they are going hard here in Central Coast.Enjoy your flip trip ❤ Doggo will be with M8.s

[@FairyDust222]

I’m binging on your earliest videos! I’ll get through them! They truly are amazing! Informative! The captured scenery. Unfortunately I won’t get to see any in real life but! I truly felt like you brought me along 😊 your both so down to earth 😊 you both would be the most amazing tour guides. Can’t wait to see how your tiny house unfolds. Blessings to you both ❤️

[@amieabbott2223]

Ahhh thankyou for explaining the cicadas... I thought I was going crazy thinking "I'm sure they are louder than they usually are" Good to know I'm still sane- for now hahaha

[@deborahashaw6044]

Happy New Glad you got a chance to spend time with your family!! Congratulations on your new home!!🫂🫂🫂

[@KendallandGlenn]

Thanks so much Deborah!! Happy new year! ❤️

[@joannelaverty810]

I am just so happy for you guys and so looking forward to following the journey!! it looks amazing x

[@rhampton10]

So funny. Kendall couldn't even wait for them to get in the door.😂

[@TheBearzie]

I picture the coffee table more in the corner beside the stairs that could also double as a storage drawer. Fun to think about!

[@junerodriguez1938]

Happy for you’re home stay blessed

[@KendallandGlenn]

Thank you so much June! 🥰

[@joycady8325]

What a great surprise for your family! Nothing like going home for the holidays and being with your loved ones. Can't wait to see that deck build, that is going to be so nice to sit out there in the evenings and chill out.

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

Your sisters reaction to Christmas surprise was soooooooo adorable.

[@TwistedLi401]

Thanks to Max for sharing your channel. I am looking forward to your build of the tiny home. Warm regards to you both, and Leo!

[@johnflynn556]

What a lovely location to build a home.

[@wendygeo98]

We have been doing Christmas poppers for years. Many US people do this! Love it!

[@gblakev]

Ahhh, but we don't call them poppers. In the US poppers is a drug.

[@julieholcombe7422]

I'm SO excited for y'all!!!

[@annbarber9896]

Kendall your family’s reaction was priceless! I love your parent’s Christmas tree! Now time for hard work !

[@ColletteC2106]

Loved your sister’s reaction! Such a lovely family. Hope you enjoyed Arizona. Live in Tucson, grew up in Phoenix. 🙂

[@carolharris9609]

Omg guys, the location of your home is absolutely stunning, I’m so envious. I’m thrilled to have found you early on, now I can follow your journey and watch you turn your building into a beautiful cosy home.

[@Vicki-n5i]

I'm so glad you finally got home to visit your family🥰 I have just finished binge watching your (long) lap of Oz, after seeing what you created with Vance & especially Nige (that re-build was insane!) - your home is going to be absolutely Gorgeous!!💛💚

[@Mel.H_]

I'm from Arizona! Currently living in WA State!❤🎉 ETA: I also went home to AZ for Christmas this year, for the first time in 11 years!❤

[@Mel.H_]

I realize you're actually from CA but I'm just gonna leave my comment as is 😂

[@KendallandGlenn]

Aww no way!! That must’ve been SO nice to be home after 11 years wow! 🥹 Arizona is so beautiful, we loved getting to explore it more now that my parents live there!

[@maryantosz6195]

Oh my goodness, I loved y'all surprising the family! What a treat for all! Can't wait to watch y'all build your dream tiny house! ❤

[@fern8003]

You are such a nice couple with lovely Leo! I also like your simplicity, being happy with tiny and small things. All the best and looking forward to the build!

[@gemmasaurus]

What a beautiful reunion! Being away from family can be so hard! I hope you all had happy holidays and got to make amazing memories together!

[@KendallandGlenn]

It was the BEST time being back together for a little while! 🥹❤️

[@vera-q1x2f]

​@KendallandGlenn I love ❤️ you guys even more now knowing you are near my "neck of the woods" . Love your vlogs (keep them rolling)and the surprise was super great. Hugs from Casa Grande, AZ.

[@GaryJones2012]

Discovered your channel from Max, thankfully, and enjoying it a lot. I had a chuckle about the coffee table because I was one of the many people who commented about that. In such a tiny space every square inch of space is critical. Although you've built the base for the couch maybe some kind of pull out, pop up tables might work?

[@robbyfisher9187]

You guys are awesome

[@Victor.McCann]

I will be here for every video you three and Max and Occy as well 😊😊

[@bernitajenkins7581]

😅 Guuuuys!! So feel you about the cicadas. Thanks for the explanation about the extra noise, Glenn, I've never heard it like this before... It's nuts. My little family lived in a caravan for 6months (with a newborn) while we built, so I'll be putting my 2cents in occasionally. 😊

[@CateTowns]

I can’t wait to see what you are going to do next 💞💞

[@cnd10101]

I loved watching this! It brought tears to my eyes ❤ What a beautiful surprise for your family 🎉✨️

[@Mel.H_]

You can also fasten a type of pulley to pull the window closed. Excited to watch y'all build this!

[@KendallandGlenn]

Yeah definitely something we’ll consider doing! Thanks so much for the tip!

[@sandrap3047]

Great surprise! Love San Diego! Hope your family is safe with the fires! Know they are in LA but not sure where your family is. Looking forward to watching your build! Love container homes! Glad you’re back home with your pup! I lost my dog last year. She is so missed! I didn’t go on vacation for a few years because she was a senior dog and I didn’t want to leave her! Dogs are the best! ❤

[@dougsargent1808]

Glad you got to spend some time with Kendall's family. Their reaction was priceless. Looking forward to seeing your next video!

[@spacemonkey200]

I love your 15 min videos. It's a good format to keep updated! ❤

[@donamurphy8182]

Just a crazy thought about the coffee table. What if it was flush to the floor until you needed it and then it comes up from underneath? You get to figure out the mechanics and such! It would take up some storage space underneath but would otherwise give the couch, tv viewing area such a spacious feeling. Or come up with a storage place for the parts of the table. A box base and a flat wooden top could be hidden until needed. Finished nicely with stain and urethane, as a piece of furniture would be.

[@Satya2btrue]

Totally agree, we live in Australia and having large sinks re a waste of water. Not that you’ll probably have that problem in a rain forest. But good habits formed is always best. Love your practicability on this. .

[@dianahosier5354]

Look forward to being with you for this journey.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KendallandGlenn]

We’re so happy to have you here! ❤️

[@elinekleinonstenk6690]

Such a cool tiny home. Maybe you could make the sofa a little less deep so you can add a sort of shelf at the back for mugs and other little things?

[@Tiamariawouldntwanttobeya]

Kendall you have a great mellow narrating voice.

[@lindaroyal8161]

I like that you take the time to explain the plan, like the steps are temporary and you're planning a deck.

[@marileigh9913]

So exciting 😊

[@cherriemater]

14:50 SO excited for you three! What an amazing adventure you are on 🎉 May I please suggest a retrofit on your steps? Right now you got them stacked one on top of each other and if you either of you step on the end one, because they are directly on top of each other, they might fall over (especially, if you're carrying something heavy, which would add more pressure to the step you take). If you simply each layer 90°, then they would be less likely to fall over. It's kind of like locking them in. I'm just concerned that one of you might turn your ankle if a "stack" falls over. Happy New Year ❤😊

[@rebeccazuckman9059]

So excited for ya 2

[@freefahren]

Coffee table maybe a large lump of beautiful local oiled wood ( obviously with flat top) and put it on sturdy rollers ( spinny ones ) so the whole piece can be moved in any direction or off to the side. An eye catching sculpture and practical all in one.

[@cathyeoman9129]

Custom Blanket box made of beautiful wood to meet your measurements with the right wood can take weight. Good luck on the final coffee table design. 😊

[@eadaoinnorris9594]

You should use a lagun mounted table like in a campervan. Meets all your needs as far as i can see. Adjustable height, so dining and coffee table. Can move out of way for ease of getting up steps on to couch. Possibly hinge it and fold over, so smaller when needed. Best of luck with everything.

[@elainedegoede6276]

Cannot wait for the next video. GOD'S BLESSINGS TO YOU 🙏💕

[@MissQuite]

Surprised they let the ‘explosives’ through customs 😂. Hope you watch Living Big in a Tiny Home. So many great layouts to be inspired by. Good luck for the process. Aiming to do the same one day soon ❤

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

At least you were pushing the empty wheelbarrow up and the full one down that works for me 🤣

[@KendallandGlenn]

Haha true!! Best scenario!

[@badbitecrew]

Nice first step!

[@ericmiddelbos129]

nice, am looking forwords seeyou next time

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you!

[@charliestrickland6194]

Happy for ya'll! Looking forward to the build!

[@tinalafever1756]

It's going to be a great adventure.😊

[@AngelaTynan-y5z]

So glad you got to spend family time Kendall 💕 love watching you guys keep it up. 😊

[@SharonCullenArt]

We haven’t traveled abroad because of our dog. My health isn’t great so it would be complicated but we missed a trip to Scotland and elsewhere in the UK and this summer missing a trip to Ireland. I just can’t leave him!❤

[@JoBeech-t3f]

I’ve seen a table mounted to the wall that when in the up position the bottom shows and is a piece of art - once lowered the wooden frame comes down as legs - this could be revamped to suit your needs - even having it extendable with a double thick top -

[@barryanderson5283]

Supervisor Leo did an excellent job while you were hauling the bricks.

[@KendallandGlenn]

He runs a tight ship!!

[@jamesheidema]

I am excited for you. I am sure your new home will be amazing!

[@nanagram13]

Watch Kendall's sisters reaction brought tears to my eyes! The building will be a process! Looking forward to seeing the transformation.

[@vengefulfox5986]

Happy new year. Excited for the next chapter

[@fineweaver]

Your family reunion made me tear up, and I just started watching you guys, lol. I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos. Leo is one handsome boy!

[@SharonCullenArt]

Can’t you have a drop down kitchen table so that you have an eating area that you can put away? I’ve seen some awesome ones. One even had artwork underneath that shows on the wall. Or a couple shelves and the table drops down over the shelves.

[@larriedoliveira1175]

Happy New Year to the both of you. Great to see you got to see Kendall family for the holidays , hope you enjoy building your new home. Can't wait to see your plans for that Tiny home

[@kathleenjones817]

Coffee table that rises up to be a dining table and retracts to make a coffee table and part of the bed.

[@minkles1330]

Can't wait to see this happen :)

[@KendallandGlenn]

So glad to have you here!

[@VishusB]

Great video and a beautiful way to start 2025! Happy new year guys!

[@pilgrimpeace7763]

What a lovely reunion. So glad we got to share in the excitement. Welcome back home and cannot wait for the build of the tiny home

[@lindalittle6802]

So excited this is going to be quite an adventure. ❤

[@JimGallagher-f7u]

Have a great trip. I can't wait for the building to begin.

[@jowoodward1757]

Looking forward to watching your house turn into a home,❤

[@7aloha7]

You two are quintessentially lovely. btw, who will keep the dog?

[@sundaychamberlain228]

Im from Arizona, welcome
