What a great couple..love how they artisticly compliment one another with their talents & interests. They have created a wonderful space for themselves and pup, Otis. Extra special that their tiny house is in the spot his grandmother lived. I lived in Franklin, TN..very near Primm Springs. My daughter still in Franklin and was considering adding a tiny house to her property. The loan issue difficult and also zoning. Nice tour..thank you, Jenna.

This is so, so kind of you to say. We feel very lucky to have each other and this home. It’s a dream we talked about on our first date and the way it’s all come to fruition through some really hard seasons has been a beautiful thing.

As a senior in Washington State, I'm obsessed with Tiny Homes. I already live in a double wide in a senior park and it's WAY too big for me! I have a living room I never go into and a bathroom (one of two) that is simply a place for my Maine Coon's cat box. It's silly. So, here in WA --- WHERE TO PUT THE TINY HOME? That's the problem. So frustrating.

[@Justagirlnamedshawn]

My hubs and I use to live in Washington State🙂 we live on the Oregon Coast now and have a 37 foot travel trailer that we have remodeled, it our "Tiny (last name)". There is one place on the coast that is a Tiny Home and Vintage trailer community. You are right though, there aren't places to have Tiny homes unless you have some land. These kids here were able to do all this because of family. Not everyone is that lucky. My hubs and I do love this minimal life we live, so much less to clean!! We rent on a lady's land and are saving to hopefully purchase our own land. I hope you can get your dreams!!

[@melissabenson6749]

@Vicki K. Don't give up, as so many are choosing to live tiny & minimally, I believe many opportunities are going to start picking up! I know many people who want to buy land & property specifically for people to put their tiny homes on & live communally! Give it a year or two & keep searching ads locally! Best wishes 👍🩷🙏

Wonderful home and location. To solve to water pressure problem, a captive air tank could to placed where to water is coming to the tiny house. This stores water under pressure so when water is being used in home you have good pressure .

Very nice home with a nice lay out and personalization. Nice outdoor areas too. Hope you eventually work out the stove situation.

[@daviduribe3111]

It is puzzling as to why the stove is glued in place. Could it just be adhering to the finish on the countertop?

[@blackbiirdfly]

Thank you so much! We got hit with a crazy storm the morning of filming and every fall leaf left in our area ended up in our yard! :) We should start seeing blooms in the next few weeks and can't wait! And it's actually the oven that's in need of repair--- we realize the editing makes it sound like it's completely unusable but the stovetop works perfectly. We believe it's the cooling fan or motor and that's pretty intimidating when using propane. It's likely just the adhesive as suggested below but solid enough that we can't get it off ourselves which is what the manufacturer suggested. We just haven't made the time to resolve it yet with a (trusted) handyman.

[@lorimav]

​@@blackbiirdflyIt would be nice to see in summer too. I really love the shape of the front deck coupled with the large natural garden. The back deck for entertaining is also special and all of it is in the rural context making it especially nice.

That would expand even more your space. I find you tv a bit high but if you like it that way , fine. I love the simple and light decor, feels spacious and airy.

[@blackbiirdfly]

Thank you! Naturally, there is a ton of our story that didn't make the video but we wanted to show some of the realistic hurdles we've faced as the secondary owners. And it's been a pipe dream since we moved in about where we could add a back door to extend out on the back! Our wheel well sits there so we've contemplated a tiny step up and out, if that makes sense. Being the secondary owners, we do not have the blueprints and there which has made certain projects much more difficult or intimidating. The TV also came with the house so was already mounted but it's actually a perfect height for our couch. Thanks for watching!

We definitely have cold winters here! (Not so much this season...) We have our water line buried deep and the exposed pipes are wrapped in insulation. When the exterior cabinet is closed, it traps in heat and is protected and hasn't caused an issue. We also try and drip on the coldest nights just to be safe. We've only had a handful of times where that's been an issue and either the cabinet was open and moisture froze or when our insulation on the exposed pipe got cut open by a weed eater without our knowledge.

After having watched several of these videos, my dream of escaping the suburban sprawl and my too-large, needs-work house is about as broken as the house itself. It's impossible for me. The apparent requirement for me to move back to the south is a massive fault. I suppose it works for other people.

[@loduke3905]

Hmm 🤔 composting toilets or the matter obviously degrade and breakdown so as long as you're using the proper toilet paper and preferably a biodegradable trash bag.. it will breakdown in a landfill. If it's NOT your cup of tea that's fine but it most certainly isn't something that cannot be "dealt with". As for water pressure, I'd advise buying a pressure tank or accumulator... they come in various sizes, I have a 10 gallon? one that probably ran me $55 bucks, I have constant pressure off my 12v pump.
