I Tested a 400 Square Foot PREFAB HOME Built in California... These are My Thoughts

[@akenedy]

Price is at least double of what it should be for that size. But hey, it's manufactured in California, so we shouldn't expect anything less than outrageous. However, I have to say that of all the options on your channel, this is probably my pick for the best design intended for the future of small/guest houses. Now, we just need to get the cost benefits of mass production and economies of scale involved.

These things are really nice, honestly they are. But the goal of housing people seems secondary with these types of structures because they are so expensive. They seem more for people who already have a ton of money to blow on something in their already large yard or for folks that own some property somewhere and want their own little nest somewhere.

Very nice! The price points seem high at first and then you realize that this tiny home is built to California building standards, which are the strictest and safest in the US. California has an ADU / Jr. ADU (1,200 and 500 square feet respectively) ordinance where ADUs can be used as rentals. Three of these units can be added to anyone whose property size can accommodate them. I wonder if these can be optioned to have embedded solar panels in the walls were there are no windows. Solar panels can produce energy even when used on side walls and I would option this extra energy production to further offset my main house electric bill.

Very nice home. Great tour. Can you please post specs on solar components?

[@johnsniegoski2859]

Where is the battery storage area? Electrical Panel ratings for the inverter capacity output?

[@marciakeilee1336]

Hi Kerry..I am worried about the birds that may hit the reflective outside windows and walls. I do like the solar panels on the roof tho.

[@Catinthedesert]

Love it. It looks like a holodeck on Startrek. Are you sure it’s real?

[@KerryTarnow]

its real! haha

[@mudslinger888]

does it include a busy robot to keep all these systems operating? and making sure the TV dinners go in on time…

[@KerryTarnow]

It does not

[@cmb7388]

I would like to know about durability. How will it stand up to earthquakes, hurricanes, natural disasters. How energy efficient is it. The afore mentioned if done well can definitely more than justify the price. Also is the deck included and How much on average would installation be. Does the company offer expert installation? Thank you I enjoyed your well done video.

How does the toilet work off grid? What type of self contained toilet are they providing, and what maintenance is involved?

[@carbon1479]

3:24 - It almost sounds like it could sell power back to the grid if that's correct.

No cooktop, that's a big negative for me plus I've for a long time considered 400 sq ft to be fine for one person but in this house it definitely doesn't seem like it. It's set up for air b&b, so it has sleeping for 5. I would have to rearrange just about everything to make it work for me. It's nice, though.

I saw an oven, is there a stove (hob)? It looked like there should be additional space above the washing machine behind the towel rack.

For all the people saying the price is to high. I paid 150k for a 520sft adu in my back yard it runs off the water electric and sewer od the main house. Considering I did all the electrical and finish work myself including floors, trim, cabnets and paint. This price seems very reasonable.

I for one would like to see how this home is built so, if you get to do a tour, i'll be watching. The house is off the grid. Obviously connected to a water source but what about that toilet? Septic system? An electric incinerating toilet? Yes, I really would like this to retire in. Now if I can just get these folks to set up a factory on the East Coast I could seriously reduce shipping cost.

I love Love Love this one .. if it fits .. Wear it like a prom dress. This one fits me but I already have “stuff” I’d figure a way to make it work because this one would work
