Hello All, to let those that enquire after Merle. She sadly passed away 31 october 3022. She lived in her tiny up to a week prior to getting ill. One of her fond memories is of the time rasa and bryce visited and made this video. Regards Ferne King (daughter)

I am electric wheelchair reliant. This tiny home is not disability "accessible" in ANY way. The ramp should have 1" of fall per foot. If damp, my wheelchair would never in a million years get up that ramp. Also, the ledge on which the mattress lies should be flush with the mattress, the kitchen shelves are too high to reach from a wheelchair, a wheelchair could never get through that narrow hallway and through the tiny bathroom doorway, there would be no way to get to the shower chair...I give this tiny home an "F" for accessibility.

@@lisad2701 What is accessible to you also isn’t perfect for other people. There is no one singular standard for disability as someone who has a brother in a wheelchair over 6’3… He would most likely think whatever you see as disability friendly not at all so for him personally… So whatever you design yourself would be an F from him. 🙄 You really don’t have to be so negative and see your way as the only correct one. There is no gold standard when it comes to the challenges people face and how they can be remedied.

I think it also says a lot about Merle. Having a great relationship throughout life makes looking after your parents or in-laws a privilege rather than a chore. We, hubby and I decided to live with his mum after his dad passed away. All her friends warned her that she would be unhappy having to living with the daughter-in-law. To their surprise, my nearly 90 year old mum-in-law and I love each other dearly and enjoy sharing our house. She was a great mum and is a loving grandma who now needs a little assistance but doesn’t want to lose her independence. Perfect solution. What a lovely episode

You're very right and I too would love to see this being an option for more elderly people. Many who are now reaching retirement age have all their capital invested in land and their home. One of the biggest downsizing demographics is those retiring and tiny houses are becoming a popular option. That means there is also opportunity for tiny house retirement villages etc. Now that I would love to see!

TheShauNanigans I don’t think it’s disposable income at all - it’s from selling off their home. Now home ownership itself is a privilege but most ‘mature age’ people I know are asset rich (but often in a home that is not conducive to independent living), income poor. Which is why Tinys are so good - free up income (provided they can access land) but also cheap to run.

As a past caregiver for the elderly, I think I can help you here - I have witnessed many adult children place their parents into a care facility, thinking that - even though these homes look lovely from the outside, it is not a good choice for every parent, to lose their independence and have to be placed into an unfavorable environment. One thing I can make clear is how ambulatory are the aging parents? There are nurse aids that can come into the home and care for the parent when time comes that the person can no longer care for their own self. There was once such situation where the aging couple - one had a stroke, and the other parent was so distraught and tired from caring for the other partner, that this person could not keep up the housework - for that reason alone, the adult child put both parents into a facility, sold all their belongings and the house was sold next. My heart broke for this couple, because they did not wish to be placed into a care facility - as I mentioned, it was only the housework that was left unattended. Story goes, that both the husband and wife went downhill health wise, so quickly - and all that was needed was to hire a weekly housekeeper to come in a few times a week and do all the heavy cleaning and grocery shopping - far less costly than placing both parents into a home they did not feel comfortable or happy in - I firmly believe in folks being with their loved ones or close to their loved ones and live as independently as possible. When I get to a point in my life where I need extra care I have advised both of my adult children to let me live in a tiny house with room to grow a garden and free to roam wherever I wish. This adult daughter did the right thing by having this tiny home built for her mother. God will reward her for being so loving to think of her mom's happiness, and not just her own self.

It truly sets a example of how we should put our parents physical and emotional needs as priority the way they did for us when we were once children.

I was in hospital for a number of months but had I lived in a tiny home.. with a loft bedroom, I could not have gone home. I am not 'anti' Tiny homes but it must have a main floor bedroom space... otherwise when illness or old age strikes... you might not be able to go home... not a pleasant prospect.

With all the bad surgeries, seniors wo real retirement income, and disabled ppl, this will be a great business well into the future. More isnt being done right now bc most ppl havent a clue (as you know) about what challenged ppl can and cannot do and what they need. So, get together w some ppl who can do these houses and inspire them. They will get busy once they begin to really understand what is needed. Good luck!

Eastcoast Blogger Well, I can only speak for myself...but I just really want to own my home and financially, that would only be feasible for me, if I lived outside in the country. And I really don’t want to commute daily. I want a traveling bus remodel, ideally. Not a school bus, mind you, but a modern vehicle with decent speed and all that. That way, I can park close to work during the week (on private ground, of course, but I should be able to find a suitable corner, I can rent and then spent the weekend wherever I want. In the countryside, traveling...I could take my nephew with me on some adventure tours, when he is a little bit older... I‘ll never get around to traveling, if it involves trains and airplanes and hotels, honestly, it just exhausts me. And I‘ve lived in a two room apartment all my adult live, so it’s not, like I would be downsizing all that much.

It gave me such hope about the possibilities of aging well, even if disability becomes a reality. And it just gives hope that even if a disability happens sooner, there is still beautiful quality of life. And I love the tenderness which with the daughter, and apparently the whole family, lavishes on this sweet woman. She is truly blessed. I wish this could be true for more elderly people, tiny house or not. Thanks for this episode.

@@mickyunit - Thanks! I can't take full credit. Where I live (Seattle, USA) many businesses are very disability-aware and accommodating. I'm not sure how much is mandated by state or city regulations, but I do see many "switchback" ramps that have a very gentle over-all grade and sturdy (e.g. metal sunk into poured concrete) railings. As I use a roller-walker (temporarily, I hope) I'm very appreciative of the ramps and I see many elders with canes using the ramps and railings to get up to a public building. Of course, they're also lovely for parents with strollers, or shoppers with rolling carts. One can make them quite attractive with non-skid tiles in a pretty pattern and metal railings with a motif or pattern, like leaves or vines.

By the way, homeless doesn't mean danger or useless or heartless, you have to see.

A community of tiny homes could also have a common house with laundry facilities, guest rooms, and a big party room and theater. This takes care of most of the problems of being tiny.

This tiny home is AMAZING!!!! I am so happy to see a tiny home made to maturing people! I have disabilities and often wondered if I could get a tiny house to work for me as I fall so easily. They have thought of everything with this lovely home making it easily accessible and trip free. I love that! I also love that large porch, so nice to have and more open space for this lovely lady. I agree with her, how can you pick a favorite then the whole thing is a favorite?! I also agree with Annika Victoria, mobility and disability effect the young as well, so this would be great for many people to keep their independence! Love that the daughter helped her mum with all of this!

I am in the process of building something similar for my parents while my children are literally in the process of providing a space for my husband and I(I am partially disabled). It’s the cycle of life. We made every loving and living accommodation for our daughters for their entire childhood and they appreciate and accommodate us now. It’s call reciprocity. Family needs to know that we are interdependent upon one another....

not just Americans. I live in freaking Budapest/Hungary / poor as hell, in a 50sqm apartment 1+1 alone, it is huge for me, but this is one of the cheapest I can rent like now if I want to live alone in the city (older building, not a new one). Most of the apartments in Budapest have 20-30 sqm rooms and 2-3 of them + kitchen + bathroom. For what? Nobody knows because most of this doesn't have a parking spot assigned to them. Do you know who wants to live this big? A family here. Do you know what do they need? A parking spot. Yeay historical cities. The modern homes are better but they cost much more cos' they are mainly rented or sold to students/workers from richer countries mostly, sad. My grandma lives 2-3 times bigger apartment than me just because "this is what she stuck with" after the family moved out during the years. It is a huge burden to pay the upkeep of these too big spaces and I can not understand why humans do this with themselves.

Thanks for sharing this. I currently have my 93 year old uncle living in my 320 sq ft tiny. We live in rural Nebraska and when I built the tiny (started over 10 years ago-finished completely Sept 2019) I built it with handicap accessibility in mind. We didn't put in a kitchen, but Uncle Fred is very resourceful and has made that work for him anyway... yes, he still cooks and cares for himself. What a blessing it is to have him right outside my back door. We have had a couple of illness needs that I was glad to be close to help him. Peace of mind for both him and me! I can tell you all, from experience... having your loved ones close and being able to be there for them is the greatest pleasure and gift that I have been given. Like this woman and her family there is just JOY for everyone!
