Upvote this comment if I should name this home Cedar Hallow

[@braydenmurrah1042]

I think Cedar Hallow is a really cool vibe

[@fishyovohhh]

You could also combine the two names and make it "The Cedar Hallow", don't know if that was already suggested.

[@DanielSalley3D]

Ever seen Sleepy Hollow?.. creepy movie with forests that this name reminds me of.. "The Cedar" is soooooo much better!

[@devonloerop]

Or if you think I should name the home "The Cedar" upvote this comment.

[@Kikibrat2]

I am loving these videos! I have no interest in building or an interest in doing Airbnb’s, but this video is still so enjoyable. I’m learning a lot just from watching you. 👏🏾

[@devonloerop]

Awh! Thanks, so following along. I love doing this kinda stuff and it makes me happy others enjoy it too

[@joshuaflewellen8838]

With such a small space the swing of doors can shrink spaces. Did you consider the use of pocket doors for bathroom and bedroom. A third could be added to make the bathroom accessible from the bedroom. 12:48

[@jackfoster20]

I love the new design!!! My only question is why didn’t you include a door from the bedroom to the bathroom? I feel like that could help in the middle of the night 😂😂😂. You rock Devon!

[@sarahlynnhillman]

I truly love your videos. My husband and I bought a property and want to build a cabin, we’ve got some flooding issues to overcome but your pier foundation looks to be exactly what we need. We’re a few years away from saving up to build. Sending thanks from upstate NY. Will plan a stay at one of your properties some day.

[@connorbrookshire9379]

I found you on Instagram when you first started clearing the property for the pacific bin. I have been extremely invested in watching your Instagram story’s. Not just because the Airbnbs are cool, but you can tell you are genuine and real!

[@devonloerop]

Just doing my thing trying to make a future for myself and future fam! Glad to have you following along :)

[@Zanagash]

I love this ! Can’t wait to see this take form !

[@sb-nyc]

Is the 400 sq ft size to keep it below the size that needs to be permitted? I didn't catch if you said or not.

[@TheLastBoyScouts]

Dude, since this build started I have wanted to stay there. You have done an awesome job on that project. Stoked to see what you continue to add to it.

[@gregkrazanski]

geez. instantly love you and this channel

[@Darthvolvo]

Watching you work towards your dream gives me slight hope that perhaps one day I may see mine come to fruition. It was hilarious that your neighbor caught you wrestling the ferns. The tiny home design looks pretty cool. I'll be following along for the entire process!

[@devonloerop]

lol gosh the fern wrestling. I tried to block that out of my memory 😂

[@weekendhomeprojects]

That's going to be a cozy little editing spot.

[@tysonmarley]

“The Cedar Hallow” follows “The Pacific Bin” flow even better ( kinda: The adjective noun)

[@tysonmarley]

or should it be: The Cedar Hollow ?

[@devonloerop]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh really like this

[@tysonmarley]

while i was watching the intro video to this project, “The Hollow Cedar” also came to mind. hollow = ‘having space inside’ by definition and it’s easier to identify the noun in the names: Bin and Cedar. 3rd DADU property get another fun noun. will it be close to the helicopter PAD by chance? ;)

[@Jcortez3425]

In a few years I’m pretty much copying the bin cause the design is amazing! I love seeing the growth and the ideas, their incredible excited to see it done!

[@theremix13]

Ok…. I have a left field suggestion… that has some pros and cons, but I thought worth suggesting. Move the bedroom door to the opposite end of the bedroom. Move access to the bathroom, to be via a pocket door in the bedroom. That means you can may be rearrange the bathroom to create a bit more space in the bedroom. You can move the tv to the bathroom wall, turn the sofa round to face the tv, may be add window where the TV currently is, and perhaps even have a couple of arm chairs where the TV currently is to make use of the view.

[@EtymTV]

Cant wait to stay here!!

[@devonloerop]

just wait until you see the sauna that's going in here :)

[@EtymTV]

@@devonloerop I’ll be following the updates🙌🏻

[@DanielBoone1294]

This is such a cool project. We are designing a Scandi-inspired tiny cabin right now too and I'm interested to see how you tackle the hurdles we have been working through. I'd love to see you break down your plans for ventilation and airflow! We are going to attempt a zero-overhang roof with Monopoly style framing and air sealing. But ventilation and humidity management are things you don't see a lot of people talk about in tiny spaces like this, and it can get pretty complicated, (especially if you are putting emphasis on aesthetic, lol).

[@andrewshermer4958]

Cedar Hallow great name!

[@devonloerop]

I might have to make a compromise and go with The Cedar Hallow

[@deucedeuce2451]

I thought Devon was a photagrapher/videopgropher who built a media business. When did he become a engineer?

[@CSSkoolieProject]

Man I love the design of this. Do you have plans of this home for sale?

[@becoming4927]

Great content, dude! I saw you at Redmond Trader Joe's once, but I didn't want to seem weird. I'm planning to build one next year

[@smax591]

what about The Cedar Hallow?

[@LtSoulRipper]

You should put a couple trail cams out! That would be some cool added footage

[@JS-cj9jb]

I'm saving money to buy a very small piece of land in New Jersey. I want to buy a small home. I watch your channel all the time. You inspire me.

[@devonloerop]

Awesome! You totally should, big time homes and 30year mortgages are too scary to me and kinda a ripoff. Hopefully you can get your land soon!

[@justinrink6755]

Seems like you're having a blast playing around with a chainsaw in the Washington rainforest 😆definitely jealous

[@The_MoRRe]

I really wanna know what program you used to do the digital sketch with all the furnitures and stuff.

[@Clint_Moto34]

I really like the new design. Seems so fun laying all of this out. I prefer distant view but that might be subjective.

[@devonloerop]

I also love a distant view, but I'm just trying to optimize this property before the future view property 😏

[@danielocampo543]

Hey would be nice to see an overview of your whole lot with sketches of where every thing will be

[@devonloerop]

I can make that happen! Excavator shows up in 2 days and when I film for that I'll make sure it's in there.

[@rmag4172]

What software do you use to create your floor plans?

[@FirstLastOne]

It was most likely a trash panda that punctured your jerrycan and ate your sunflower seeds. Those little masked buggers have a weird sense for biting stuff that stinks to high hell like gasoline and rubber tires where most animals would be repelled by that odour and stay clear of it.

[@Shadowgrey5937]

hello! Hey what program are you using for the design layout of the house? thanks !

[@rc8james221]

Design looks great man! Working full time and doing this too is time consuming I bet, but well worth it :D

[@devonloerop]

It's definitely a lot but with this home being much smaller and filming the whole thing on KZbin is making me take it a bit slower

[@ShortstopTy]

Dope layout bro! When you were looking for the land, were you specifically looking for an area that allowed for more than 1 dwelling on the parcel? Or did it just happen to work out like that serendipitously? 🔥

[@chrissydeboy]

With the latest layout design you definetly need a 360° couch or one which can be turned around easily to enjoy the view and not only the TV

[@devonloerop]

That's a pretty good idea!!

[@ian408]

Cedar Hallow or maybe "The Pacific Bin At Cedar Hallow" brands the place?

[@dianerandall995]

made my day to see you getting busy on the cedar. also found it odd that with all that you do you actually bought stakes instead of make them. i guess you just gotta let somethings go.....lol.

[@devonloerop]

lol it's going to be sweet. the excavator get's here on monday!

[@totallyoffgrid3008]

How about you combine them, The Cedar Hollow?

[@mazzloni4610]

perhaps increase the size of the bedroom so you can access the 2 person bed from both sides which is quite important for comfort etc

[@barbee615]

Are you going to be able to tap in to the Bin’s septic system or do you have to build another? You know I’ve been following since you couldn’t even drive onto the property. To see your progress and passion has been fantastic! Has Steve dropped by? I’m liking The Cedar Hallow! You need to find more sponsors! Hey Lowe’s, where you at!

[@devonloerop]

I'll be able to tap into bin septic and get the water supply from the well which will save me about $60k right off the bat haha

[@rebeccaunderwood4623]

@@devonloerop that's great for now, but be aware if you sell you'll probably have to separate that well and septic. it can be a sketchy situation between neighbors otherwise and may prevent an easy sell of either of the properties. spoken from experience ;)

[@theremix13]

Also, instead of a window above the sink, how about instead of a splash back, have long window that runs between the bench top and the upper cupboards

[@MrStrosty]

The Cedar Hallow

[@torymblue2000]

Devon "Oh, I'm just out here raking the forest"

[@BoschPorsche]

Never thought about the corners on the kitchen, you're so right about that. New design does look way better. (not an animal person, but looks like just a coyote maybe?)

[@devonloerop]

Thanks so much! I can't wait to start framing it all out.

[@ZenHara5aki]

Wouldn't having sliding doors be a better use of the space?

[@devonloerop]

Hey! Yes there is a sliding door that will open up to the deck!

[@SteveStearns-s9p]

Design Recommendations: (a) It is recommended to increase the width of the bedroom by a few feet to allow for easy movement around the bed. This way, occupants won't have to climb over each other to get in and out, which can become inconvenient and uncomfortable as one ages. Additionally, this adjustment will create a more harmonious and undisturbed experience for both partners. Is there space for a dresser in the bedroom or will that be in the closet or built-in cabinets? (b) Consider incorporating a barn or sliding door between the bedroom and bathroom areas to establish immediate access between the two rooms. This arrangement will give the tiny house a spa-like ambiance, promoting a sense of relaxation and luxury. Moreover, the added door will enhance privacy, especially when there are other visitors present in the tiny house.

[@devonloerop]

Thanks for these recommendations. I unfortunately cant make the bedroom any bigger, I know it's a bit inconvenient getting in and out for one party but it's just I sacrifice I had to make building a tiny home. Not a bad idea about the barn door to bathroom though. :)

[@rebeccaunderwood4623]

@@devonloerop can you turn the bed to have the head against the bathroom wall? then you can have room to have a night stand on both sides and walk around as well as be able to see out the windows while reading a book. I sleep on the left side and need a table for my cpap and a light so that space is important to me.

[@danielocampo543]

Nice🙏🏼

[@devonloerop]

Thanks

[@chrisnvestor]

This comes from a place of caring: please wear safety glasses. I used to not wear eye protection, or ear protection until a coworker asked me one day, “do you get paid enough to lose your eyesight or your hearing? Is it really worth it?” I don’t want to tell you how to live your life though 😂

[@litolito1893]

The Cedar 👍🏻 bite marks I’m guessing a bear

[@mohitkhanna5330]

Cedar retreat could be just an other option

[@devonloerop]

It's already named the Cedar Hollow!

[@UMZenki]

Love the idea of laying out interior walls w tape. So far I’ve only done exterior dimensions but I like the virtual 2d walkthrough! We just got started w power trench/ conduit and getting rock in for the driveway at @portlandiaframe. Well goes in next month! I can’t thank you enough for all of your transparency in your builds! It has really helped me learn the ropes of a new construction home project. I don’t know where you get the energy to record it all though!!! Take care Devon!

[@theremix13]

Further to my previous comment… another option could be doing a door like this for the bathroom so you can change the wall the TV is on

[@devonloerop]

I know what you mean, that's not a bad idea.

[@SteveStearns-s9p]

I like "Cedar Hollow". It sound more cozy,

[@Oldman-Havok]

ill guess a raccoon. lol

[@FirstLastOne]

The fact that it also ate the sunflower seeds would make one think it was trash panda.

[@ReptiVilla]

Point cedar

[@Nanilethu]

Love your channel, but please don't wear white when doing this. Whole time I'm thinking who will wash that shirt😂😂. South Africa 🇿🇦

[@aeonsakura]

snake?

[@devonloerop]

Holy crap if that's a snake bite I'm leaving WA! That thing would have to be huge

[@EtymTV]

I was honestly thinking it seemed like a snake too but yeah it would have to be pretty big. However snake jaws are something different
