On the design itself, while it’s easy to nitpick any design, it’s much more difficult to design a space that actually works. He proves it does by living in it, which also informs his work. Anything can be modified to address the abilities/limitations of the intended tenant. That makes for a good plan that can be used anywhere that local codes permit.

I really love the tiny house movement. That being said... I watched one of the tiny house construction shows in which the builders specialized in building tiny houses on wheels so that the house could be moved to wherever the owners wanted it. However, one of the houses had slideouts, like many RVs. That made me wonder, "Why not just buy an RV?" After all, they maximize space and storage, like a tiny house, and they're energy efficient. And the folks who build their own tiny houses always go considerably over budget, enough that they could have bought a nice RV. Then I see a video like this, with a tiny house built on a permanent foundation. I ask, "Why not get a mobile home (now they're called manufactured homes) and put it on a permanent foundation?" Where I live, there are plenty of MHs set up that way on privately owned pieces of land, not in a MH park. They have all of the modern conveniences, and they're energy efficient. You can even add on solar panels and other nifty gadgets to improve their efficiency. There even used to be a company called Jim Walter Homes who built MHs on permanent foundations on a regular piece of land. I've lived in a MH (14x68) for 34 years. 2 bedrooms (one with a walk-in closet), 2 full baths, spacious living room, good-sized kitchen (with a breakfast nook instead of a dining room), walk-in pantry, laundry room, low utility bills, and a small, easy to care for yard. MHs today are not like they used to be, barely holding together with Scotch tape and prayer. They're sturdy houses built to last. I bought mine from someone who'd owned it for 3 years , and she bought it new. That means that my MH is 37 years old, and it's still going strong (even after going through 2 hurricanes).
@ThatADUGuy4 ай бұрын
Great info, thank you. MHs are a great housing option!
@debracisneroshhp28274 ай бұрын
@jimgilbert9984, For clarity, there IS difference between a 'mobile home' and 'manufactured home'. A mobile home is not permanently fixed on a foundation, so that it may be moved to another location, hence "mobile"__and is usually only allowed to be in a mobile home 'park'. Whereas, a manufactured home is one that has each component of the building(walls, ceiling, roof, etc.)manufactured separately in a plant, thereafter, delivered to, and constructing them on, a foundation at the home site. And, yes__manufactured homes are much more durable than mobile homes. At the same time, the ADUs this 'guy' is building use the same high-quality construction materials you would use to build a quality-consructed 'regular' home__the other 2 types generally do not. And I, for one, would prefer having 'real' wood floors than the newer alternatives. 😺
@M.Campbell4 ай бұрын
Many, many, places don't allow MH within the city limits unless you are in a trailer park. If you want to see a hostile town council meeting just bring up that subject. People still have the vision of the older MHs, in their heads, and are very defensive of their property values. My own town doesn't allow them. You can put in a manufactured home, but it has to be assembled on site. i.e. modular homes. That eliminates anything that ever had wheels, no matter how well you disguise it after it's in place.

@@debracisneroshhp2827 The industry has decided that "mobile home" is a dirty name. They are now calling them "manufactured homes" as well. It has really muddied the waters. To me anything that is built on a frame and has had wheels is a mobile home and a manufactured home is how you describe.

@6:27 - Same logic I used for my van build. When you're trying to maximize efficiency of a living space, it's worth considering how much time in the day you spend in each area. For the bathroom, I spend probably 20-30 minutes a day at most, between the daily shower and toilet use. For this reason, in my van build the shower pan was in the floor, and hidden when not in use. With a shower curtain that wraps fully around when it's needed. Otherwise, that space shares real-estate as the entry way to the van, with a foldable countertop where the 3-burner cook top goes when I need to cook meals.

It's a really nice garage taking up space where a house should be, meaning fixing the horrible shortsighted use of space will require tearing it down and putting in a higher density dwelling. May have well as fallen for the horrible shipping container home meme. At least those are easier to pick up and move. This isn't a fix for our housing crisis, it's a symptom.

My backyard is big enough that I might’ve been able to put in one of these, but I didn’t even think about it. But there are several places around me that have two houses on one lot. And they usually have an alley so there’s one entrance in the front and one entrance in the back. It really works well and it’s a good way to add housing without getting ridiculous.

That's doable if you're a young person, not so much for the older folks. I'm sure with his ingenuity and skills he could come up with an alternative. But again, really love what he's doing.

Absolutely love this especially the kitchen.You need to bring this to Memphis TN ? Exclude the loft for me because my joints dont all me to climb like many seniors.

We downsized into an RV a year ago, and if the RV park is ever bought, this design would be great for us!

Really like that kitchen! I couldn't use the loft for storage since I'm clutzy but that pocket room would be great. So pretty.

Smart, simple and an obvious attention to detail. Good stuff. One question: what about the code requirement for a railing in the loft? A fall out of bed would be painful!
