He retired into a off-grid Tiny House on his own land

[@HeatherJacobs-r5h]

A real minimalist home, basically for one person. He is very talented and it shows in his thought process and the ability to create some thing lovely and practical for him and Barley!

[@bohomiller]

I just want to say what a pleasure it was working with Jenna, Marcia and Sarita on the making of this video. They were very professional and talented. Great Job!

[@xolilethusini997]

i appreciate your how much knowledge you have. it shows in the planning and execution of the tiny house and the planting of the plants . Given the Opportunity I know i would learn so much form you.

[@mikefeddersen2476]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home. I love how you were able to reclaim the beautiful wood. I have heard that much of landfills are filled with demolished buildings. . I was curious what your generator was for the winter months?

[@DawnOldham]

I am so impressed with his zest for life! Here he is retiring and he still has plans to build another small house and a huge workshop!

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

I'm 60 and plan to retire in 5 years. I have land with a 12x24 shed I'm turning into a tiny house. I have all kinds of plans for the land and plan to do most of it myself. I'm a little terrified that I'm not up to the challenge. I have a few different chronic pain issues. But I'm committed to giving it a good try.

[@chetmyers7041]

@@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808 Glad you are planning another living space. As a 65 year old with some knee issues, those disappearing stairs would not work for me. Looks like you are set for having plenty to do during retirement. The thin concrete shower walls are amazing. Love the design, finishes, and clean look of you tiny home.

[@starz965ss]

Patrick, Great job! Your Tiny home and shop are chalked full of great ideas, well executed! Can hardly find the words to express how wonderful your home "retreat" turned out! Love it. Enjoy and thanks for sharing and explaining in such great detail! 😊

this guy is a concrete master. never knew you can do this things with concrete. props to you.

[@lizzieb6311]

He sure is… and did you notice the perfection of the woodwork? Look at the trim work…far better than any woodwork you’d see in a new “high end” home. Beautiful home 🏡

[@christineplaton3048]

Concrete countertops. Concrete flooring. Would the added weight, once on site, help during tornado or hurricane? Concrete posts or roof?

[@christineplaton3048]

Love those jar shelves

[@christineplaton3048]

😂 cook outside? Rocket stove!!!!! Simple. Look it up!!!

[@lizzieb6311]

@@christineplaton3048 No. none of these would help in a tornado or hurricane. Wind uplift is the issue with hurricane…roof design (shape) - hip roof Or round) to allow wind to move around the structure rather than get UNDER the roof (example a gable roof with overhangs/eaves). Hurricane strapping that starts at the roof assembly and goes down the structure and through the trailer is then attached to helical piers that are driven deep into the ground to secure the structure. Tornado is another story…it attacks quite differently and unless you’re in a solid concrete dome structure you’re pretty much toast if it hits.

[@colinkelley6493]

Patrick did a great job explaining his thinking. Because he wasn't in a hurry, he could take ten years to build his house. He had the time to find and use recycled materials, which probably enabled him to build it out of pocket, and enjoy the process along the way -- and it only cost him $30K, which averages to $3k per year or $250.00 per month, . His house was small enough, when he got ready to retire he could just pull it up to his off grid property himself with his own truck. I really like his approach to the whole project, AND I like how it turned out. It is important for people to have the freedom to do their own thing, but he stuck to AND PROVED Jay Shafer's original concept. Thank you and thank him for sharing it.

[@bohomiller]

Jay visited my house from time to time as I was building it. Thank You!

My friend's father bout what looks like to me to be about 4 to 6 acres of land back in the 50s in a now built up suburb of New Jersey near a quaint upper middle class downtown area a half hour outside NYC. He built the family home close to the main road,leaving a giant back yard where after his wife passed ,he built a tiny house for himself to retire in. He also built a sizeable work shop for his hobbies. His son then moved into the family home to raise his kids. What a great way to structure your family/property. Nobody thinks like this anymore. They should

Now this is how the whole tiny house process should work. I've been waiting to see more of these.

Get solar, do everything this this amazing guy is doing. I'm so impressed. He appears to have thought of everything. Next he'll have greenhouse, and smoker shed to dry meat and food, canning and he's ready!!! I love it. I'd like this set up too

I believe pocket door are under appreciated. And your use of concrete is also fabulous. The covered walkway, all the windows around your loft, the drawers and closet, I could go on!😁💚 Seldom do I see such clever, original work ON A BUDGET anymore which has convinced so many that it cannot be done today, I know that inflation and other current issues have made it seem impossible and maybe you did get this done before so much of those problems blossomed but I'm thinking not so much in your case. Anyways...I'll leave my babbling here. Oh wait! 🤣 That ancient oriental method of treating the wood?...I have seen that before and its also underrated! Bravo! I am impressed.
