She Built a Tiny House to Escape Rat Race & Found Freedom!

[@doctorjoey3]

BA's Tiny House is still one of the best designed I've seen . It goes into my top three for sure, the size, composure, and perspective - it surely has it all ..

[@shaunmartin1417]

The plexiglass over the front of the shelves are great idea, definitely using this to my future build!

[@BlueyMcPhluey]

I'm always impressed with how sweet everybody you interview is, I feel like it's almost a requirement for owning a tiny home haha

[@megangarcia5919]

I think it's opposite. I think it's not a requirement to own a tiny home but the tiny home induces the peaceful happy attitude ;)

[@katk5205]

Humble people who are happy with what they have and don't just want more and more possessions

[@glip]

Please keep these tiny house tours coming. I really enjoy watching them.

[@TheMusachioedBrony]

One of my favorite!!! Not necessarily because of the design-I wasn't so excited about the shower right in the front of the house, but because of B.A.'s change of lifestyle and enthusiasm!! Who hasn't wanted to just chuck it all, sell all their stuff and go on the road in a tiny house!! I know I do!

[@FrightfullyAdelia]

I love, love, love the pexi-glass idea for the shelves. Very smart!

[@HayleyTief]

I was fortunate enough to tour this tiny house in person. This is the tiniest house I have toured, and I have to say, even at 5'3" it was too tiny for me. My 6'3" husband wouldn't even go in haha. Still, BA did a wonderful job of making her living space feel very zen, when you can see it with all of the decor. The plexi glass is so ingenious. And obviously it is very well built.

[@iamperplexed]

I think I made that piece of glass art in the kitchen window. We had a little gallery in downtown Dallas years ago and sold them there. That was weird to stumble on in a video. Nice place!

[@mariaathena7910]

I'm binging in this channel and i feel so relaxed and amazed at the same time, here in Greece there are no houses like this.😀

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Its really amazing how many people you guys meet on the road...I can imagine the tiny houses seeing each other on the horizon and both owners trying to plan where to pull over for a chat. It's lovely and the tiny house community really do have an old fashioned neighbourly attitude and they seem to love meeting up at the exhibitions etc. It's really heartwarming to see how downsizing and recycling can bring back human contact that's been eroded by social media.

[@angieroyall1516]

Jenna's shows are the best of all the others. And I've noticed after watching her for a long time, lately she is just beaming...really happy. Happily married. Congrats girl!

[@64maxpower]

I suggest since the professional videos you both work hard to make are so good that you remind people to click the like button at the end so your vids come up higher on the searches. Your vids are some of the best so there is no reason they shouldn't be at the top.

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Thanks! I guess we put the "subscribe" button but we can always ask people to give them a thumbs up!

[@littleshepherdfarm2128]

Jenna: While I'm not super crazy about this particular design I have to say that the biggest thing I absolutely love about it that it is SO REALISTIC. I know I know...I sound contradictory here. LOL. My house is about 1500 square feet and it's just too big for my wife and I. We live in just a little over half of the space and the rest is incomplete so the excess space is pretty much wasted. I hate it here...and I grew up in this house! LOL. Go figure. So...now that I am retired and disabled I would absolutely love to own a realistic little home like this one. The owner is very down to earth and she's real. Sometimes we watch tiny house shows and the house just doesn't appeal to me because it's not "Lived In" like this one is. Love your show. Maybe someday before I die we can have a tiny home like this?

[@nightbird4747]

Have you watched Incredible Tiny Homes, check it out!

[@LttlCndn]

Really interesting to see one packed up and ready to be moved. Usually tours are showing everything in it's "livable" state.

[@cyndifoore7743]

I love her house especially the exterior. Loads of good ideas inside too.

[@kaylaspurlock4287]

what a creative tiny home! super cute and the people you meet are always so incredibly sweet. i love seeing how different people design their houses and the different layouts this is so awesome. i really want to build my own tiny house ive been obsessed for the last couple of years i really feel like itll fit my lifestyle well

[@annag467]

I love this video! Great info and perspective, answered a lot of questions I had since researching tiny homes. This is my ideal arrangement, and the perfect interviewer fortunately met my ideal and shared this video. I appreciate this, thank you!

[@lizh1988]

I really like the desk; I have not seen that configuration before, and the books with door handles, so cool. I would love to see the house "unpacked".

[@Vinterfrid]

A humble suggestion: Advice the person operating the camera to focus on the item discussed and NOT on the people talking; i.e. while showing the fridge it would be a good idea showing the fridge and not the people talking about it.

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Yeah, we're aware for that tour... We keep the camera on the people to capture the sound, then we go back and capture b-roll shots to fill the blanks (e.g.: the fridge). Unfortunately, both BA and us were on the road and had met just for a little while. We didn't have time to capture all the shots we wanted :(

[@Vinterfrid]

Makes sense...and I do understand that filming in a confined space might be difficult. However, I think your presentations are very interesting to view, so keep up the good work! :)

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Thanks!

[@Vinterfrid]

Tiny House Giant Journey You're very welcome! We don't see those tiny houses here in Sweden, but who knows - with increasing prices of ordinary houses these tiny ones might be an option soon. :)

[@fenraven]

Good vid, as always, though I would have liked to get a better look at the loft stained-glass window. This house is a bit too small for me, and having the bathroom directly across from the food prep area didn't appeal. Still, she did a good job overall. I'd be interested in knowing how she manages to travel so much. Does she work at home?

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Yeah Theo, sorry about that. It was one of our most rushed tour as we were both on our way to "somewhere"! We couldn't capture as many b-roll shots as we wish we could have. I'm not exactly sure how she affords her travels. I know she sold her house to build this one

[@fenraven]

It sounds like she's having fun, and what could be better? :)

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Theo Fenraven We couldn't agree more!

[@persebra]

Theo Fenraven you will probably have to check out her web site to find out how she affords it.

[@XArmyMP]

That's pretty sweet seeing a tiny house on the road

[@marsimi6455]

I've only recently discovered your blog, but I am really enjoying playing catch-up on all your videos. This one is, so far, my favorite for so many reasons. (Hello, yoga chair.) You make me really want to get out on the road (and find someone to hi-five out there) but until that time comes, you play a big role in my preparations. You keep me inspired and excited, all while giving so many useful tips and insights. In fact, after watching this (the first time) and hearing you both suggest it, I looked up Habitat for Humanity and turns out there's one right in my town, and I can sign up to help build a house, next summer. I had no idea this was a thing! Or that they've got a program called RV Care-A-Vanners! I am beginning to think this tiny lifestyle may actually be genuinely possible and realistic and freaking amazing. How did you do it, without a you to follow?

[@RVFreeDa]

Awesome Lady! Great tour!

[@ashleybohannon550]

There is always room for Harry Potter

[@jjbrown2046]

My youngest daughters words exactly! She's been a fan of Harry since she was young. She is now 22 & is just as big of a fan now than ever.😉🤗

[@ddtalk]

Love Habitat for Humanity! I own a house made by Habitat! Paid off too! Thanks for the tour!

[@1timby]

At least she's headed in the right direction. LOL You do some of the best vids on tiny houses. Almost makes me want one. Sadly they're not for old folks...LOL

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Thanks! And we know a few "old folks" that live in those houses ;)

[@thecozyconstellation]

1timby there are tiny home models without lofts!

[@1timby]

palehoney79 I've seen very few. Would like to see more. Those of us with health issues can't climb stairs or ladders.

[@thecozyconstellation]

1timby yes! i think lofts are so so popular is that they save space... you are essentially doubling your space by putting a bed over the kitchen/bathroom, as it usually happens. but if you build your own tiny house, you can build it to YOUR needs, which is great! and since tiny houses are "illegal" (according to greedy, selfish city codes) they cannot go on a foundation or be a little bigger. for you to have a downstairs bedroom automatically requires more space... which doesn't have to be bad, but maybe more difficult on a trailer model. but not impossible for a park model, or even a tiny foundation house. :)

[@BrokeDog]

+1timby Keep looking, Timby. I've seen tiny homes with "murphy-beds" in the great room ... and also, tiny homes with a raised kitchen on one end, that creates the space to have a roll-out bed (which usually rolls out into the great room). During the day, it rolls back under the kitchen, leaving a full living/great area. I am also a not-so-healthy person who would LOVE to (some day) get rid of most of my bills and live in one of these on my own little plot of land (yet, still close enough to my doctors, of course)!

[@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS]

The only space I like in that house are the book shelves and pexi-glass space area. A bit cluttered, but somewhat cozy.

[@kismetau]

I'm sure it looks more cluttered because she's traveling otherwise I'm sure it is less so

[@gracecallowayable]

Beautiful!!!👠🚌👠

[@Poshena]

i think everything is ok i can give up everything but not toilet and shower these 2 have to have their own space really they need a room

[@thecozyconstellation]

you should ALWAYS make room for Harry Potter! :P

[@bredlo]

Great tour, beautiful home, and I just love BA - seems she's all over the internet, and though I'd never seen her before this video, she seems like a genuine, neat person. That said, I nearly did a 'spit take' when she said it's 6 by 13... and 9,300 pounds. Woah, that sounds heavy! We're hoping to tip the scales at around 3,500. for our 22' Airstream renovation (7 by 19), though she obviously has more vertical space. Look forward to the next tour...

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Brad Cornelius Ours is 20 feet long and weighs in at 10,100lbs with a full tank of water. Those things are heavy!

[@anwayapimpale2644]

This house was on buzzfeed !!!

[@kaptainrogers]

Great video :D love that house Although i found it a bit frustrating at a few points. The two were talking and pointing at things but the camera stayed on them. Wanted to see too. Is tree damage a real problem? Any solutions? Video on that? :D Have a great day u guys. :)

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Yeah, we know KaptainRogers. We've struggled with that. We met with BA for just a few minutes off of the freeway and we couldn't capture as much B-roll as we wish we had. I stay on the people to capture the whole conversation, then we go back and shoot the details to embed them in the video. We didn't have time to do it all for this one. Sorry about that. As for tree damage, if you're careful, it shouldn't be an issue. We've towed ours through thick branches without an issue (that was before the woodstove though). But a low hanging oak branch could take your house out!

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Jay Arriola Thank you!

[@64maxpower]

What makes police think your time isnt valuable and you can stop your day just to show them the house? Every house you feature has great ideas. The ladder to the loft is great to save space. My fav is still the crazy stair set up you guys created. For me thats the coolest stairs ever and the dog can still climb them Id like to find out more about the shower walls. I would but no way on Gods green earth would my wife deal w a compost toilet. Im going to have to include a black tank in my build I think id cover the nice window during transport. All you tiny house peeps are living life Thanks for the vids and keeping my hope alive

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Glad you like the videos and our stairs so much! We just used galvanized roofing for the shower walls. And keep hope for composting toilets. I weren't necessarily convinced but after using our Nature's Head for 6 months now, we know we'll never get a flush toilet in our tiny house!

[@64maxpower]

Tiny House Giant Journey you both can convince me but you will never change Mrs Powers opinion. Thanks for responding

[@ravent3016]

I'm curious as to what this woman is doing now - her site isn't up any more. Is she still living in this home? I like the clever details.

[@spencenielson]

Nice video. Hey I know we have seen the construction of your house step by step but I was wondering if you had any tour videos of the finished product? I was looking through your videos but didn't see any. it looks like quite the house. Thanks

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Yeah, we haven't filmed one because Deek from +relaxshacksDOTcom made a great one already. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2LSopZ3aal5gdk

[@spencenielson]

Tiny House Giant Journey nice house! Thanks for sharing! I really liked the loft

[@drd6893]

She built this!! GO TEAM GIRLS!!!! YAAAAASSSSS

[@leobusby6664]

Hey guys I think your videos are super cool and they do full videos/tours unlike tiny house nation. I was wondering if you guys could do a tour on your tiny house if you haven't already I haven't been through all the videos but anyways you guys are great and have inspired me to Maybe move into one a little in the future so thanks! Keep doing videos!

[@jennaspesard669]

Thank you! We might do one of our own soon, but in the meantime here is the own our friend Deek did: tinyhousegiantjourney.com/video-tour/

[@reneecannon1250]

Very nice ♡ HaPpY THANKSGIVING: )

[@graceserenachristie2914]

Cool house. I live in a Van I sort of do without and sometimes I get a storage unit and I can live in 48 states move around see places. I always say I am as smart as a bird I can move south in the winter and north in the summer. Although freaken Maine was really hot one summer. I was thinking wow ! And Florida was so hot in Nov that I vowed I would never live there in my whole life ! But I have lived in NV, WA which is so great for tiny homes right out in the trees and ferns. And now I live in VA it is where my car broke down so I decided to stop and write a few books. But it is nice to see your place. I think I am a little smarter now having lived in a car but that is not what other people think of me. So I think that I would like to build a little house like yours if I want to get too many possessions I don't need. I like to think like people who build boats also. I know that I have things I can do and places I can go in a house that moves. I started by accident I was a crime victim and I wanted to just move my freaken house..... like get the key and drive away but I thought the police down the street wouldn't know where my house went if I went to the store and someone drove my house away..... so I started touring the US no longer attacked attached to some very strange cities towns or states. I can just leave when I get unhappy and just look at the beautiful scenes outside my windows. Cool job love your show. Looking at more houses Grace Namaste

[@HollyAndThorn]

What a nice woman

[@andreawisner7358]

It is very untidy.

[@TheHossCatt]

Do a tour of tour house

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Deek from +relaxshacksDOTcom already made a great one. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2LSopZ3aal5gdk

[@TheHossCatt]

ok thanks so much you guys are the best

[@graceserenachristie2914]

Funny I got closer to the end and yes I taught myself law in the back seat of my van. Yes it is not a stupid way to live it is like the French word Liberty.

[@plauditecives]

B.A. is a lovely person. But not too sure about those cops who used their profession to inveigle a look at her home.

[@cindypattana6071]

Some of these are cute, but I could never live in one. Too cramped.

[@cristinaborges999]

really? the Harry Potter books are not at the top of the list?

[@abbythacker02]

there should have been a separate shelf just for the Harry Potter books.... :|

[@trishbannister7220]

Take your shoes off please. Show respect

[@sherry866]

Sorry but I find with most most of your videos that the camera is not pointed at what the homeowner is speaking about for example the refigerator kitchen area the cameras pointed at the people and not what they're talking about again in the beginning not pointed at the flooring that she's talking about again in the beginning of the video she talks about the shelving no footage of that either there's no point in me even going on watching this you guys never point the camera at anything the person is talking about

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

We've struggled with this one. We usually film the interview and then film b-roll to go over the shots (you can see it in our other videos). This particular one, we met BA on the road very quickly and tried to capture as much as we could. We have to keep the camera on the conversation so the microphone captures the sound, then we go back and film the details. Unfortunately, this one was a little more rushed than our typical videos. Also, spinning the camera around a lot makes it disorientating to the viewers. But yes, you are right about this video, it was tough to get all the details shots we wanted.

[@sherry866]

OK, thanks 4 the explanation 😊

[@lyndabenford4337]

Your camera person is not very good

[@dannysze8183]

it is a very nice house but she is a very unorganized person.
