D: The couple. They are just great. The people you film are just as important as the house they are showcasing. I wanna buy a tiny house just to be as joyful and visibly emotionally/mentally healthy as these two. The house is worth 75k, but the couple's vibe is priceless.

[@freda2758]

Plumbing and electrical fixtures cost money, the further out you take them. Think of it as a parking lot. The landowner has to consider how much they can afford to install without it costing too much money. The idea of a tiny home is necessarily to "get away from people," but the life virtually rent free.

And another 40ft container with two 20 ft containers attached for additional space for master bath with closet and hallway bathroom and second bedroom and have the living room in the center of the house.

This is basically just a manufactured home park but on a smaller scale. People have been living like this for decades. In fact, "trailer parks" had MUCH smaller homes in them back in the 50s and 60s than they do now. Twelve feet wide at times! So we're kind of going back to that with these little communities.

Great idea to put the noise insulation into the loft floor.

[@AB-ol5uz]

with the dimensions of their build, they really need a double lot to create a buffer between the neighbors. All of the snow is going to bury the yard on one side and make it impossible to walk between the two buildings on the other side. So, that's a major issue (however uncommon) that should be built into the leasing requirements of that community.

[@markaralvin5545]

Hello AB

[@carolhewett3756]

I love this house and it really shows how tiny homes are doable. But I agree the cramped parking lot ruins the experience. I dont even like how the "large" size overwhelms the other units. But hopefully this is a stepping stone to their own land or a more suitable tiny home village. I suppose we first need to prove to land developers that there is a demand for this kind of living. It really is no different than a well planned trailer park except that a community of tiny homes contain custom built and self built very attractive units. We need state and local laws to respond accordingly.

Great couple and well designed home. Very fortunate that her father is in construction as this house would cost more than twice that much if built by a tiny home builder. I agree with other comments about how close the houses are leaving zero room for privacy. With kids in the future, this lot will not provide any space for them around the outside of the home. Escalante Village is full and expensive. They do provide snow removal but I doubt that means in between each home. Regardless, this is an excellent home and constructed on a budget under $100k is remarkable.

I think this is probably one of the best tiny houses I've ever seen and I like they didn't use every square inch to cram storage in.

Those houses are pretty close together!

@@floralupstart836 wow, I don't know the exact conversion but I'm guessing that'd be around $220,000 usd. That could actually be close to what it is around me as well. It just seems like so much! I know we bought our small little 1955 cape cod home in 2013 for around $129,000, which was typical for the area at that time, but now houses in our neighborhood are selling for close to $200k. It's unreal. I know you must be thrilled about your husband and daughter building her a tiny home. What a great experience for the 2 of them to do together. I think even with my 2 kids and husband, I could do the tiny home thing as long as I have enough closet and cabinet space so that I don't have clutter. I could do without many things that we have now for sure. I dont mind our small home, but unfortunately back in the 50s, they didn't build these cape cods with hardly any closets, and the few that here are don't have much space in them. The kitchen was redone right before we bought it and they put in lots of very big cabinets, so the kitchen is fine. 😊 Best of luck on your daughter's tiny home.
