Retired Woman helps to build her own Affordable Tiny House - so cute!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Cheryl loves her tiny home & life at The Bird's Nest Tiny Home Community. Making her retirement truly affordable. Many yrs ago, she helped build it through an amazing Incredible Tiny Homes program. They built an affordable tiny house shell and then provided mentoring for her & friends to come finish as much of the interior at their shop. She shares clever tips & tricks to maximize her 5.5 m/18 ft home! 👉 *TOUR another solo lady's THOW (bartered w/builder for big savings):* kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJfcfYlujZWhkNEsi=wgUfsOwJBiUjWh7X

This is about the longest I’ve heard of someone living in a tiny house of this size. Kudos to Cheryl for making it work for her lifestyle.

I don’t deserve kudos. 😉 My house is just the right size for me so I don’t feel like I’m making a sacrifice. It feels like home.

Amazing story from Cheryl on how her home was built and her son's generous involvement. Her home is not too big or too small, but just right for her. I do like how there is space around her home for an outdoor area, not just rows and rows of tiny homes. Thanks for posting Cheryl's tiny home and thanks to Cheryl for sharing her story.

Cheryl's meticulous planning and attention to details to fit her needs have provided a delightful one-of-a-kind living space that's both functional and pleasing. I also love the team building approach, giving more folks the opportunity to own a tiny home, not just those with over $100K to spend. I wish you many more happy years in your home, Cheryl!❤😊

What a totally enjoyable video. I can relate so much with Cheryl!!! The stuff was stifling me too after my husband passed. I still have more downsizing to do and went from a multilevel 2800sq ft home to a Casita trailer to a condo and now waiting for Incredible Tiny Homes to complete building my Woody tiny house on wheels!!! Tiny feels very comfortable and comforting. Less time taking care of stuff and more time growing and being. More is less.

Loved this episode and this lady! She’s living her life in a way that’s realistic for her and loving it. There is a lesson here to be learned. I will be 65 this year and certainly know about limitations that effect my ability to get things done. I live in a really small A frame cabin and have loved it while so many giggle or simply wonder how I do it. Keep life simple. Glad she has a good relationship with her son. I never had children but know people who are estranged from theirs. It warms my heart when I see someone with a close family relationship. I was close to my parents and there is nothing like that bond. Great show. Brought tears to my eyes this one did. ❤
