Young Woman's Off-Grid Green Built Tiny House Designed For a Sustainable Future

[@livingbig]

Hey all! Sorry for a bit of a delay in the upload of this video. We've been traveling back to New Zealand from the US and missed our usual upload time-slot, so sorry about that! I hope you enjoy this video and that it was worth the wait. We will be back home to rest up for a week, before jumping over to Australia for a tour, where we will be driving from Melbourne to Brisbane and filming lots of great tiny house stories along the way. After Australia, we will be doing another big loop of New Zealand, so get ready for lots more stories from down under in the near future. Thanks for watching, and enjoy the video! - Bryce

Living Big In A Tiny House I'm getting impatient for the Australian tour... it will be fun already but with Australia so known in design, it will be a learning journey to see tiny houses from Australia... can't wait enough... well my plans for my tiny house are getting as impatient... love this video though😍👌👍

[@JoeWehry]

Great news - your quality videos are worth the wait - your enthusiasm, pointing out the details of the tiny houses and interest in the personal element are some hallmarks of your series. Thanks and looking forward to more.

The air circulation system is genius, and that sink is gorgeous. This whole place is one of the most beautiful I have seen.

[@DustinDean]

this gives us some great ideas that we want to do for our tiny house that we want to do in the spring. we are really excited about it. if you would like to check out our channel that would be great and you can follow us on the journey of doing a farm makeover and the journey we want to take of doing a tiny house. future videos will come when we get the plans lined out of what steps to take

I'm retired and pray I can get out of my apartment and go tiny in my remaining years. One thing I worry about is finding the land to park a tiny home. I want to get away from the city and live in a peaceful serene environment out in the country with lots of trees. I desperately need peace and tranquility that a tiny home will bring to my life and hope my dream will one day come true.

Wanders&Wonders "independent" she lived at her parents home (probably rent free) post colleges for a few years to save and build up her income which her and her Dad build. Sorry she had a lot of support and that's not a bad thing.

[@MegKampen]

She lived rent free with her parents so she could save money. Many of us don't have those options. Her family also supported her with building this house with advice and labor. I am sure she was also helped financially. Many of us don't have that kind of support or family and are forced to do it all on our own. I had to live in my car for 2 years to afford owning and remodeling a small travel trailer to live in. This is hopefully a stepping stone to owning and building a small but not tiny house in the future.

[@WesLovelace]

Like all the different Species of Western Wood which were incorporated into the Build. The use of recycled material gives the TH a more " Lived In " Appearance!! Another Remarkable Build!!

[@sarahmartin3558]

She is so fortunate, to have her dear dad help build her tiny house! It's nicely finished and decorated too! One no-no I did notice though, is the use of OSB paneling for the shell, and that stuff is hardly green or non-toxic. The adhesives that are used to bind the wood flakes together contain formaldehyde. Any bit of moisture contacting that stuff, and it turns to mush, and, the black mould loves it! It's definitely a building material that I won't be using for my tiny house build.

[@DannyBear70]

^ I agree that the show focuses a lot more on the looks than on the functionality and construction supplies. I like the show, but it could be improved: Plans, material lists, square footage, R-factors, etc. For instance, nothing was said about the R-value of what-ever odd insulation was used. Insulation under the floor? Something without skirting probably a must for the winters of Colorado. How to find the "right" trailer? Weight distribution, axel load, etc, are all very important, at least to me...

[@stuartsutherland7664]

@@DannyBear70 Agree! And there was little discussed about the construction of the house. From one of the shots it was clear that it was a steel framed house. I'd like to know more about the pros and cons of building with steel.

[@hansiesma16]

@@DannyBear70 Who would want to watch information for your personal project? And who's interested in skirting alternatives for winters in Colorado?! This site is enjoyed by people from all over the world. Enduring blurb on the R-value and material lists and all that stuff is of absolutely no interest to most people. The format is highly enjoyable and pretty much perfect.

[@MelissaJohnson23408]

Simplicity.! Cute bathroom.!!

[@vincediesel307]

It truly is a very nice tiny house. That being said, it appears to me that the tiny house movement has turned into a beauty contest. What I mean is it seems that they are getting more and more expensive and there is a point which you might as will own a home for the money you're spending. I understand in some cases the trailer that it is built on is most of the expense, but as much as the reclaimed material that she claims to use and she said she did a lot of the labor with friends and family, $40,000 is a lot of money. I've been a builder most of my adult life and I'm pretty confident that I could build that size with decent materials for about 10,000 . Assuming I can find an old camper and use the trailer and to build on for around $4000. or $5000. And I will admit that the cost of the compost toilet that extravagant air system in that little space heater adds up a good amount of the cost.

[@CapysGardenShop]

Yes, it would be wonderful if we can have legal tiny house communities. Getting legal space in Portland, Oregon is my drawback for not having a tiny home yet. This place is beautiful but did I miss if she owned the property or is she living on family or friend's land?

[@sophiathebirdy9181]

I didn't hear any mention. Land in Boulder costs a FORTUNE. I didn't even realize there was any left. The average home is around/just over a half million.

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

sophia thebirdy Land in Boulder costs a fortune like in many other places these days (this is a worldwide problem ... we are already over 7 billion and the planet doesn't expand fast enough, in terms of big bang ... 😂 ) The solution could be not owning the land but thoroughly thought through longterm lease it from an owner, or share the land with likeminded people so You buy it together, or go anywhere else where there are no people yet to start there from scratch. Or You start being part of the ratrace and buy it for what sellers charge no matter how You'll earn it back, and for example lease it out to other people for a monthly fortune to serve Your bankster via mortgage. All that isn't a promenade (German sayin' ... 😬 ), but there are no other options I'm afraid.

[@zdenekbenedikt9900]

I like this house; it's very nice and functional at the same time. The stove looks like the kind of stove we use in Europe (or used before induction). I have a practical question: Since there is no vestibule/hallway in these tiny houses, don't they lose a lot of heat in winter, especially if you have several people living in it (especially with kids) who come in and out of the house? I am no architect, but I'd be afraid of the cold getting in every time you open the door. I'd appreciate any insight from someone who has been living like this in a cold climate for some time. Thank you.

[@andreawisner7358]

Zdeněk Benedikt Good point. I assume that they close the doors fast to avoid heat loss.

[@sophiathebirdy9181]

I live in a smaller home (but not a tiny one) about 850 sq ft. I have no vestibule or hallway, or anything like it. When the door opens, it stays about the same temp, maybe the heat might kick on if the door isn't shut in under a minute. I have seen solutions on pinterest that involve a large, heavy curtain in a semi-circle around the door. That way it is also malleable, and you can hook it on the wall when it's nice out.

[@urloudandwrong]
