Does this family build tiny homes cheaper than everyone else?

This week we're featuring a family that started with building a backyard tiny home for themselves, and it slowly exploded into a full-time business where their goal is to produce affordable tiny homes (starting at just $30k) for others. In this video, we showcase a few of their tiny home designs, their on-site workshop, and their new house truck.

I love, love, love to see folks who were just looking for lifestyle changes for themselves, but then that quickly morfs into their life's work and income! So cool, plus they clearly have pride in their quality builds!❤️

[@LoveyCee]

Absolutely!!!❤

You just made a proof that a family who's working together can build and win together. 🥰

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

I love not only the homes but also the work model. He took what he didn’t like in a traditional 9-5 and changed it to be flexible for his employees

[@ListedInTheSouth]

I love the flexibility he's allowed his builders. Not all workers are 9 - 5 people. I personally work best late hours. Love the price point of these tiny homes as well.

[@legalparalegal8040]

I was thinking the same, they can work when they want to that's awesome.

[@janeysiegrist5061]

What an industrious couple. Awesome business model and tremendous boost to tiny enthusiasts. Love the first model toured.. that upstairs living area with sleeping below is sweet from an older person perspective.

[@raysun2be]

Beautiful family and lovely homes. I love how they went tiny to get out of the 9 to 5 rut, found a way to turn their passion into a business. Very nice designs and since they are NOAH certified I know they are quality builds. Thanks for the video tour!

[@gregpendrey6711]

These guys have names I’ve never heard of. Jens’ channel is the best.

[@Roxjetlagged]

​@@anug14 so they changed their names to hindu names even though they are not Indian right?

I like their builds. And any builder who takes pride in their work, that's huge for me. 🍻

[@ribbleslipscomb5171]

What a life you have created!! I am amazed and impressed.❤❤❤😂😂

[@FloatingVillageLife]

And I am amazed by your dedication to creating affordable homes and custom RV designs for families. Your passion for tiny house living shines through in every detail, from innovative design to practical solutions. You're inspiring others with your creativity and commitment to sustainable living. And I am Floating Village Life

[@TheEGA4421]

This is wonderful! I have been seeing more and more people reorganizing their work lives and leaving the typical 9-5 behind. People have become innovated in determining what and how they live their lives. Small business owners are making a comeback and I love it!

[@melissarobinson5189]

I toured their homes when they first opened their business in Alachua, FL back when we were neighbors. They are a wonderful family who builds quality homes w/the customer in mind! When I buy my tiny house, I will be purchasing from them b/c they are willing to work w/me to customize my build to accommodate my age, physical limitations due to my disability & my 2 senior Chihuahuas. They really pack a lot into their low cost tiny houses!! I highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the market!

[@kellycregeen1393]

BOY IVE BEEN WATCHING ANOTHER TINY HOME BUILDER FOR 4 YRS.YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.GREAT AFFORDABLE PRICES.THANK YOU.I HOPE TO BE BUYING ONE HOPEFULLY IN 4 MONTHS.KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

Yeah, way to go. Living with nature. Really happy for the life choices this couple has made and wish them all good luck for the future 🎉

We found something huge. It's the most ironic thing I've ever heard of tiny homes! ;)

[@aletheasmith1013]

Love your Tiny Home business 👏🏽. Keep up the good work 👍🏽🥰

[@carolynthomas4527]

The truck camper is so neat!

[@CCopeland65]

I love what you you all have done with those homes. That is amazing. I am so grateful that you all are on the East coast. I plan to retire soon in about two and a half years and I want to go tiny. I live in Virginia so hopefully by then they'll have some tiny home communities by then. Keep up the good work.

[@legalparalegal8040]

I hope so too, by then I'll be in the TH market looking myself, good luck to you I'm sure you deserve to live in your dream 🏡

[@aimeescanlon4849]

What a great idea...love how they share their love of tiny homes with others...

[@theevolvingmindset333]

I love this whole concept! My hubby and I have a similar idea, this provides extra motivation for when our time comes.

[@leanneadams2549]

I just love every episode because I take a tiny ( pun) ha - or a huge ideas from every one. I actually do like the smallness of these BUT I want a stove/oven, a small not mini refrigerator. Also- a lot of people are not liking the washer/dryer combo so I would need a stacked kind. So all in all I don’t think these would work out for me but they may be perfect for a young couple just starting out that can go without a kitchen essentially and keep cost low. That’s what I love about them. Not everyone can afford the skyrocketing prices of even some of the tiny homes nowadays. So way to go! And love the two tiered deck ! Thanks for showing me around !!! 🏡❤️💯🙏

[@raysun2be]

@@leanneadams2549 they set it up for AirBnB use, which is different than living in one full time. Plus they can customize it to fit your exact needs. As far as the combo unit, I noticed that it is vented outside. I have the same one and love it. It uses heat to dry the clothes, and the moisture is vented outside. It takes less time to wash/dry than the non-vented ones. I could have put a stackable in but I opted for the combo so I could have more storage space. Some people like them and some don't. :)

These tiny homes are really pretty. I really like the style of these. These people were smart to do this. I love the camper they made too. but as long as they were building it if it was me I would of maybe made it a little bigger for a little bathroom. But that’s just me.. It is really nice anyways. Nice job to both of you. Beautiful!!!

Housing isn't the problem, property is the problem. I can make a house out of anything but I can't afford the property to put it on.

[@kellycregeen1393]

I AGREE WITH YOU...ITH HAS PRICED MY RANGE OF MONEY I CAN SPEND.

[@snidely_whiplash]

Not even close. You can't build your house out of anything you want. There's requirements for building standards regarding inhabitability. Materials and Permitting can be excessive as well. Unless you live in a 3rd world country. Then build a dung castle. Free

[@welcomefriend4793]

Good very excited what are you doing, believe I was wondering & think to carry it in Canada, good job

[@feliciawhite427]

I would love to have my truck done like that

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Great job ❤

[@cmsmith3010]

Lots of great energy! Wonderful ideas!! I don’t understand the truck that is to tow a tiny house cross country with 6600# of improvements with a limit of 8K#??? How is it going to tow with all that weight?! Did I miss something?

[@tabitha-sk5kc]

This confused me too.

[@douglaslippertindy]

I like the work you are doing. One question, though: If you pull water directly from a river, as you suggested, (for shower or sink) how to you avoid contaminating your potable water system? (Or did I misunderstand what you said, which is entirely possible). Also, just for future reference, it's a "quonset hut," not a "Kwanza hut.") They were practicallty given away after WWII and they are a mainstay on many a post-war farm or industrial site. Your builds like great and I'm impressed with your willingness to focus on the end product, not having an employee punch a clock.

[@LoveyCee]

Very very nice. ❤

I live in central Florida and initially found an ad for their tiny homes on Facebook. I followed them on instagram before I deactivated it and they seemed like honest people. I really wanted that green one. I really want to buy one but I’m unable to right now. Maybe one day 🤞It’s nice to see behind the scenes and knowing where and how the products are put together.

[@gallopingg1]

It’s like they took the ITH model build plan, & developed their own stamp on it.

[@alicerafferty9595]

This is a really nice video. They figured out what they wanted and made a business from it. Was this inherited family land? Thanks for the video.

[@tinabackus4477]

Does your company build tiny homes on foundations instead of trailers? I'm in the process of buying land for a tiny home.

[@lenny108]

In Europe, a piece of land like this costs no less than $500,000. The problem is not financing the house but the land. The cost of the building materials is relatively low. If you have land, building the house is no longer a big issue where you have to save money. These tiny houses are good for people who have decided to live alone.

[@sashabenoit1518]

That camper truck tiny home is pretty cool but I would have definitely put the opening for the lofted bed at the end of the bed where your feet would go because the way they have it set up by the pillows, if you're sharing the bed with someone else the person on the far side of the bed would have to climb over the other person's head to get on and off of the bed, which obviously is less than ideal to say the least.

[@dime12345]

I always want more behind the story, how did you purchase 14 acres of land type of questions lol

[@simplifyfurther5348]

After building in our backyard for a couple years, we met a private investor who believed in our business and gave us loans to grow the company, we started with 5 acres and then expanded over time as our production grew

The best way to do that would be to visit their showroom so you can walk around inside and out. Second best would be to visit their website and see if they have more detailed photos and/or videos.

You must be lost, there surely is a youtube channel of hole dwellers.

[@raysun2be]

@@knowledgeandmultiskilled 😆 I couldn't do it, and in most of Florida you can't do it because of the shallow water table. It would definitely cost a lot more to dig a hole and get it waterproof in Florida. But if living in a hole makes them happy, why not. 😁

[@knowledgeandmultiskilled]

@@raysun2be Making a hole waterproof might be possible to do. I guess it depends on how a hole is made. If there is too much water that goes near a hole then I think also having a watercraft would be appropriate to have at someone's disposal.
