Weekly Wednesday Q&A Episode 23 & Newport City Mayor Talks Tiny Homes 😲🏡🇺🇸🤗

[@ladyonlay7802]

The windmill idea on the island is a great idea. The windmill can be connected to the aerator for the pond - wind power!

[@susanbeals7597]

Add a water wheel to the mill and you don't even need an additional aerator.

[@kathym6892]

Happy to say that I was there at ITH last week. Rented an AirBB in the forest. Loved it. Toured the community with Amy who did a great job. Toured 5 or 6 tiny homes, giving me a good feel for the differences in size, etc. Walked the property every day and was able to meet some of the residents who were very friendly and seemed to love living there (Had a Randy and Ace sighting!). Will and Becky in ITH sales made sure that I was filled in on the purchasing opportunities and answered my many questions. I checked out Newport, Morristown, Knoxville, and Hot Springs, North Carolina. The area is so beautiful and amenities are within a reasonable drive. So glad that I visited. I recommend a visit to anyone considering a ITH purchase. It gave me a good feel for living tiny in ITH and confirmed my desire to live tiny.

[@KtBudgets]

Thanks for sharing your experience

[@susanbeals7597]

Thanks, Kathy!

[@susandellarocca1866]

Kathy, how did you find out which ITH's are air bnb's to rent? Thanks.

[@kathym6892]

@@susandellarocca1866 I looked on airbnb site for tiny homes in Newport and then checked the list to make sure that they were in the ITH community. From there I went by price, reviews, and availability. Good luck!

[@susandellarocca1866]

Thanks for the info Kathy. I appreciate it. Looking to purchase a tiny house but never even stayed in one.🤣

[@normamarcantoni8490]

Put the postcards or envelops in a tiny house and use a blower to move them around. Love you guys!

Randy you gave Amanda the most considerate compliment ‼️😊 You both go out of your way for us, your PROFESSIONALS, we GREATLY appreciate your information and, humor. Thank you both‼️

[@stephaniethomson6930]

Randy and Amanda, I'm so glad that the meeting with the Mayor and the City planner went so well! That is very exciting. Love you guys!

[@sandykoenig1666]

Randy you are so right, the videos wouldn't be the same with out Amanda in them, we love you two. I like when Amanda asks questions that the average lady or man would want to know the answer to, then I appreciate how Randy explains it to all of us and not make us feel stupid. I feel you two are equal in being who you are. I really admire the ladies who can and will get in and tackle a building project, my neighbor is like that and she is awesome.

[@anngelinakoenig-fales4153]

I absolutely agree!

[@pattijschrage7060]

Randy & Amanda - we have a serious housing shortage in Lewis and Clark County, Helena. MONTANA! Lots of land east, north, south - please come put in a community!!! We are still saving our money. Adding to it every month! Our dream is to purchase a home from ya'll mid 2023. SO wishing could be sooner!! Thank ya'll SO much for you both! Thank you for the many blessings ya'll have brought so many!! I love you both. I am very grateful 🙏!!

[@Cora-hh8gi]

Randy, I spent a couple of weeks in Yellowstone National Park, best vacation I've ever had! I'd love to go back there again someday. I think your tiny houses would make good quest quarters, especially if they look like log cabins.

[@anngelinakoenig-fales4153]

BRAVO to the BOTH of you for acknowledging the VALUE of one another!

[@lorrainebellegarde6207]

Randy you need a drone so we can see the roof with the solar panels. You could also show us the birds eye view of tiny town. ❤️🇨🇦😊

[@KtBudgets]

That’s a great idea. You can get a decent one for 1200-1800

[@lesialepleyfail9361]

I may be mistaken but I think in one past video he said his mother gifted him one for Christmas? A drone visual would be fantastic!!

The two of you have the best dynamics!! Ya'll are better doing this together!

Hey y’all! It’s Martie again! I love Amanda in the videos. She adds so much with her humor and her comments and what she knows about the business, but I have to tell you, Amanda… I do get a little jealous cause I’ve had a huge crush on Randy for a long time. But you guys are great! Great chemistry between you. Love you both! ❤😊😁

Randy, you are absolutely correct. These videos are best when BOTH of you are in them. We just love watching the two of you banter back and forth and hearing all the good stuff you both have to say. DON'T EVER CHANGE!!

[@darlastanley2548]

Awe Randy that is so so nice what you have said about Amanda. You two work well together. Love seeing the both of you. Thank you for answering my question.

[@lauradufour3377]

Amanda, just wanted to let you know that randy calling a pool the cement pond he got that from the Beverly Hillbillies. That's what granny called the pool on that show.

[@raysun2be]

What a cliffhanger ending!! I like the Gazebo on the island, with seating around. I could see IYH musicians performing there, maybe have area musicians come in for concerts, high school groups perform. It would have to be acoustic groups, but it could be fun!

[@LCCAOL]

Please do not remove the 3x4 end wall window. It will cause the I-Box to appear cramped inside. If someone wants to reclaim that wall they can block it on the interior with plywood or drywall and apply a finish. Or maybe you can offer an option to omit it on a order by order basis.

[@joaniemarie9468]

Agree, don't get rid of the ANY of the windows in the Incred-I-Box... it's excellent just the way it is.

[@chezmoi42]

It sounds as if he's listening, and maybe he would be able to do an occasional run of 'exceptions' when they have the orders. Five orders in for no window or a picture window, next Monday is exception day!

[@maryjunot6715]

I love the “love fest”. You guys are awesome!!!

At least you got most of the water to stay OUT of the building ... the what is only coming in from the front that I can see, no longer the sides OMG Amanda, you are a STRONG woman .... you live in the woods by yourself with your dang DOORS open .......... You are stronger than you think - I don't believe I would live in the woods with my doors open all night

Guys, I think they meant Shore power, it is where you can plug into any existing power supply. It is a plug that is on RV's and van campers etc to plug into campgrounds and such.

Suggestion: You could do the show inside one of the homes to show how quiet it is inside! I love ITH! Have been a faithful viewer for 5 yrs now....

Due to the growth and, amount of people on earth, sustainable need, and outreachable expense for most YOU are offering an INOVATIVE solution with your proposals for the future. Beneficial to all. VERY EXCITING ‼️💯

[@QuirkyKerrie]

Randy/Amanda. Regarding list of subscribers for giveaway: I sent an email to ITH about a possible way to do this this morning and it has to do with working with your KZbin manager. Another way is you can create an online form for people to fill out to register for the giveaway. It would be less manual for you than postcards and you could verify more easily with subscribers. Just put on the form disclaimers at the bottom of the form that you will verify they are part of first 100k and that their info will remain confidential. Similar concept of a mailing list but for the giveaway. Oh and another way is I think the KZbin API, without parameters, randomly returns the subscribers. If that is the case it is already a randomizer so you could run it like 10 times and then select a random number and find the returned row in the results that match the random number and that is the winner only if their subscriber ID is 100000 or less. If it is over choose another random number to make sure the subscriber was in the first 100k. That should work!

Hi, Randy and Amanda, how about you put a form for everyone to fill out! For the drawing of the house, on your site then everyone can print it out, fill it out and mail back to you!!! Be easier for you guys to figure out what information you want to put on there, also read it easier when you get it back!! I think it would be much easier for everyone, especially you there in the office!!! Also have them print their names and everything else you need from them and put in envelope to mail back there to all of you!!!! Thanks Kit 108 degrees for us here in Oroville Calif. Like 7 days in row so far more to come!!!!

Whaatttt?! You booger! Randy! Come on! Tell us more! Pleeeezzz. Y'all are a mess! I loved this video Amanda and Randy! I love the woodsided home in your original shop, with the black framed glass garage door! So, so pretty! I think I remember y'all showing it in a previous video. I also remember you throwing around the idea, of a shipping container under a tiny model home, on the mountain. Q & A WEDNESDAY ... IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO? (In your cliffhanger ending) "A TWO-STORY HOUSE?" IN THE MOUNTAIN??? Inquiring minds want to know. Lol! ;) Love y'all!

Enjoy hearing about all your ideas and progress and learning more about you personally and your friendship. And I know you can't answer all the questions but I've asked a couple of times and am still hoping this is possible. ??? CAN THE VIDEOS BE NUMBERED ??? That way when you are answering questions about solar or off grid or snow load you can refer them to video # *** for more info. It would also help the sales people when some one asks a question they can't quite explain --- instead of saying "go online to the videos, down 6 lines, 3rd from the left" they can refer them to a number.

[@chezmoi42]

Oh, that's such a good idea.

[@cindyblank5]

A person as a resource is the guy in CO who created a tiny town and was able to work thru all of the issues because he was an ex city planner or city council member. His community is featured on Jenna's channel. There's also a guy in OR who created a community as well. I may have seen him on Jenna's channel as well. Both of those states have been very resistant to code changes allowing tiny homes in their community.
