Woman Builds Unique Tiny House for Affordable City Living - Tour & Interview

[@iolanisjourney4828]

what was the solution, how was she able to find a spot to park it? how much was the cost? These 2 things are the biggest issues, price and finding a location to park a tiny house. I wish you would ask each tiny house owner these 2 questions when doing your videos. It would help out this community a lot!!

[@brittanysavoie7608]

I totally agree!

[@artsyamy73]

iolanis Journey yes, itd be good to hear about the cons of living tiny, bein’ real..seems like we see so many stories of a new build but then never a follow up on how theyre doin a couple yrs later.

[@pldj3804]

Calla Merkel lol of you want a tiny that looks like a mansion it’ll be around 50-100k but there are many (honestly is the majority) tiny houses that start around 10k and average of 30-40k wich is way cheaper that living in the city (which a majority of people living on tiny houses live in city in comparison to rural areas where housing is way cheaper) average rent anywhere in the city will be around 1k so paying $300 rent for a lot is pretty nice

[@joanketelby752]

Agree and nothing mentioned about a washer. Does she do her laundry in the kitchen sink or at a laundromat?

[@gophermaster]

It's sitting in her parents yard.

[@112477fm]

I've been watching stunt homes for years. This has to be the best and most simple home yet. Perfect . Much props to her !,

[@rebeccapayne5933]

I love this woman and her values. Thanks

[@miamiller7585]

I love how you have a lot of seating space in your living room for a tiny house.

[@samanthafranklyput]

Love this house! The extra foot and a half sure does make a difference. Really love the counter top. Seems like she has really designed this home to fit HER needs, which is the most important aspect of anyone's home.

[@flamealligator6984]

I love her composting toilet. What a lovely Tiny House! I'm glad to see she's organizing to make Tiny Houses legal. We need this in the USA.

[@Europa1749]

It's a lovely home. The only changes I would make would be a bannister across the top for protection and cube stairs with storage.

[@complyvoluntarily]

Europa 17 I like the orchard ladder but would add a firemans pole.

[@kiwibird8441]

complyvoluntarily lol

[@GoshTasha]

She's really intelligent, thoughtful and gorgeous

[@iammaximus614]

Yes, it would be ashame if the building gets condemned by code

[@lynnwittet1301]

Good luck with your mission, it’s time municipalities open their eyes and change the bylaws to allow homes of any size in any area not jus rural. Thank you for taking this-on, you and your friend are going to help so many people. I am going to watch your other video to see how I can contribute. Your little house is beautiful.

[@MessoverOG]

Wow! I wish more people would do this. We live in such a broken world, where bigger is considered better. You are an inspiration. I pray God blesses your cause and gives you abundant peace! 🙏🏼✌️

[@conniem4183]

I absolutely love this design! It looks so tiny from the outside, I wasn’t expecting it to have such a spacious and airy interior. Definitely keeping this video in mind for future reference. Great job!

[@cindyr5423]

This tiny house actually seems very comfortable, some would make me a tad claustrophobic. The cork flooring came out beautiful! Also curious about total cost.

[@precisiont5188]

Thank you for everything you do to allow this to be more possible for people.

[@CarlosBenjamin]

That toilet enclosure is cool!

[@offgridsweden]

That is really a beautiful tiny home. Love these tiny houses that you show. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden

[@filleroos6573]

your life does too

[@jamesm1109]

Guys I am new to woodworkingggg business and thanks to > t.co/YSI7q2P4iX?7HRU2UD8rNg that helps to learn more then 12000 woodworkinggggg shed plans

[@bufordblu3338]

Off the grid, online....lol

[@TamaraWoods]

Interesting composting toilet. I don't think I've seen this particular set up before.

[@amyschaffrick6190]

very! i thought the same thing! very interesting.

[@FixItYerself]

love the wood countertop. The toilet contraption is rather interesting.

[@jenohogan9254]

I live in Vancouver, I'm glad I saw this video. Thanks for posting it.

[@rgs6236]

I'm insanely jealous 😁. This is a great TH . Well thought out and lots of natural light.

[@carolinewallbank6331]

Can't wait to see this happen in UK! We are an older couple living in rented accommodation, where we are very happy. Tiny house living would be the one way that we could live rent free after some serious money problems!

[@a_wise_young_man752]

I'm looking to build something like this. I'm investigating all sorts of options.

[@mollymo6229]

Sounds great the issue with the UK is land. Or maybe you could live somewhere away from cities.

[@curtsk19]

the UK has the most tiny houses.......... The caravan

[@randzopyr1038]

Elise, the only issue with land is water/sewer drainage. Otherwise it seems like you could get a permit to park it somewhere that is otherwise off-limits to being built on since solar energy+movable structure negate much of the impact on the countryside that the laws are trying to protect.

[@tjinnes]

The extra width makes a big difference. Good work on the floor, it looks great. Love the tiny house and hope you can sort the legal problems so that you can use it.

[@MercifulArchitect]

Nicely done, this is empowering people to pursue noble goals. good luck on your efforts.

[@mariamclaughlin5970]

I love that it's wider, and the toilet is my favorite yet.

[@smashy_smasherton]

Ten foot wide makes so much sense and such a difference. Thanks, love your house. And the link to the collective.

[@oldguy5458]

Thanks for the info,,, Hopefully one day tiny homes will be more accepted,,, Thanks again,,,Safe Travels

[@artistaloca4]

I'm looking for an update on her endeavors. Would you point me in a successful direction, please? It will be great to see more of her personality in the interior decor... 👍

[@chavafinkler36]

The tiny house movement is certainly inspiring. However, for those of us contemplating tiny houses, we really need to know the entire cost! In other words, how much did the owner pay for material, labour and a place to park the house? If the owner obtained materials or labour free, please let us know that too. Its extremely frustating to listen to a video where details are not available. For example, if a tiny home owner tells the audience, I only paid $20, 000 for my home but neglects to tell us that their partner is an architect who designed the space for free or that they park their home on their parent's farm, then that is misleading as not all of us would have access to free design services or free land. Can the maker of this video please let us know the entire cost of this tiny home? Thanks.

[@harrykuheim6107]

This is for Rich Kids....Buy a Trailer.

[@emmadouglas1544]

This is exactly my problem! I watch videos all the time but the price is never there

[@ZeoCyberG]

For commercial builders, you can just look up prices... Look up companies like Incredible Tiny Homes and check out their website for posted prices... It's the DIY'ers that are iffy on that score because they don't always keep track or it's because it's hard to tell because how they did it may be a one off... Like getting free materials that someone donated to them and they don't know the cost of the material for someone who would have to buy it, etc. Mind, some people also don't want to share costs because there's lot of cruel people online and will either criticize them for spending too little and calling their home a homeless tent or say they spent too much even if they had special needs that had to be met... But it's not that hard to figure out once you know what's involved and how costs can vary depending on your choices and what needs you need met...

[@arshiabasheer6175]

Please talk about the land no one talks of the land

[@AUSSIEMADMATT]

Don`t be so lazy, go look it up yourself!!!

[@LivesUnscripted]

We have a laminate wood floor in our van it has been working great so far (2 years) and we have been in all types of weather. For our install we put down 1/2 inch foam, then 1/4 inch plywood, and a vapor barier. We added the wood floor to the whole van, then built our cabinets on top screwing our cabinets into the wood floor. This in my opinion has helped us secure our cabinets and keep the floor from moving.

[@davidazinger5639]

Its a nice looking home; the light in there is extraordinary; few homes that size with that much light. I live in a 10 by 30 storage unit (converted w/ shower, etc.) but its tight space, but very affordable.

[@KCGalanski]

How did you manage that? I'm interested in various options.

[@hopeshook9576]

This is deff one of my favorite tiny homes!!

[@JohnnyC10071959]

What a cool person. My own daughter (20 years old) is in her 3rd year at UBC and plans to get a masters and work for an NGO.

[@sustainablyangry]

This is one of favorite tiny house vids!

[@turbonator818]

Mad respect. Beautiful home

[@Tangeray83]

Keep up the great work in terms of adding momentum to the tiny house movement. If like yourself, there was a way for me to live in one of these and stay in the city and the community I grew up in, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Kudos

[@ecostudio1044]

so glad that folks are building a couple feet wider these days.

[@perjrgensen8280]

Beautiful tiny home. Kind regards from Denmark.

[@innazhurav9622]

Сказочный домик, очень милый и уютный.

[@charlesolson5101]

Tiny houses will be the norm in the future. Nice home I love the way you think.

[@AGM-ts5bb]

Really nice. A beautiful oasis in the city. I really respect their work.

[@MlleNoko]

I love your layout. I hope you keep sharing videos of your lifestyle

[@eyecan8]

I enjoyed seeing your home - so proud of your accomplishments- I want to start a collective here in COLUMBIA TN one day - but first I want to get a tiny house and land - big dreams I have - again great job -🙋🏾💜🔥

[@thedownunderverse]

She's gorgeous! BC Women - the best

[@KM-nq7ez]

Really love this build

[@ceilconstante7813]

Very Beautifu, spaciousl and we'll planned! Also love the toilet and the cork floor!

[@C8guy84]

Beautiful tiny house, beautiful lady.

[@susie9893]

Really like these presenters - whatever their subject area they always go for a little more depth than most of the others out there in KZbin

[@katelynjahnke4218]

What a beautiful home! I hope to live in my own tiny house some day!

[@johnroddy8756]

Greetings from Ireland Beautiful house well done

[@cherijane3776]

It's adorable! Looks on the inside than it does on the outside.

[@alejanzar]

This house is wider and awesome, people don't realize how good you sleep when you don't have to deal annoying neighbors, that's what happens when you live in an apartment building. when you sleep in a tiny house you hear nature around, and if rain is even better, priceless. I live in a rv for 2 years, 5 min from the beach so I know a little bit.

[@lv4bway]

Love it!!

[@claudiag3214]

I love this tiny house!

[@helened6896]

This is fabulous!!! I'd love to have one just like it. Thanks for sharing.

[@annadavis6361]

Wow, how sad that she can’t live there yet! Crazy, these homes are better than most homes are! I pray they get this fixed!

[@gregcoste5332]

very well executed .. rare is the 10' (wide) TH and it changes the space entirely (regardless of length) .. good job!

[@doratiscareno5856]

Great Job...Sam 👍🌸💞💕❤💞💕

[@Rayaelle]

brilliant and beautiful home! hopefully She Will be living There soon enough!

[@margaretlittle6800]

Lovely home , very spacious inside

[@Gr95dc]

Beautiful tiny house, is one of my favorites now

[@persephone213]

I love the idea of tiny houses in the city.

[@cabdolla]

How come none of these tiny houses I see online ever install window shades for privacy? Nice looking tiny house.

[@hanna9164]

because many are filmed before they are finished (like This one) and shades are one of the last things to add

[@VintageTexas59]

Very nice build, roomy inside and skylight over the bed is great !

[@stina723]

Love this! Nice job.

[@DIYSolarandWind]

I would like a tiny house next to the 6 car pole barn. I still need the solar workshop, garage gym and a place to park.

[@louleesara7]

Why would anyone dislike this...

[@higurashikai09]

I really don’t understand why tiny home are illegal in BC. They’re such a great solution to the increasing population in large cities and urban sprawl. Shrinking our square footage is great for cutting down costs and allows more space for a number of things outdoors.

[@VancouverCanucksRock]

FluteGeek Sorry? They are? I swear I saw them for Sale here....

[@Rivracost3]

They really are not good solutions...Obviously an apartment building is way more space saving. I think they are cute but calling them environmentally friendly is a joke.

[@schan263]

Tiny houses don't scale and waste land when compared to an apartment building.

[@DutchNomadFamily]

What a beautiful place. Love the loft.

[@williamhoskins7818]

Good luck with the event. In Sacramento, thanks to women like you . They allow you it . But you're right. It's very difficult to get Location's legalized . Thanks so much.

[@allisfaith]

I love the 2 points of entry

[@WhisperingJaneASMR]

Very beautiful!!!!

[@m.corege9726]

Love the extra width - cosy little home - would love to have the link to the toilet and the heater - best of luck to you and your girlfriend for what you are doing - cheers from Toronto

[@00000materialization]

This is awesome!! I‘d love to at least try living in a tiny house at some point... the legal issue is the main factor that keeps me from dreaming and obsessively planning. Germany is so small and extra protective of its space...

[@theoneworldshow6661]

Such a lovely concept and so well presented :) !!!

[@BoKotianLund]

For the channel, I would prefer if you put out projects where people live - for me it's about the people and how it works for them to live in their space that inspires me, not the "empty" space in it self. If you interviewed the builder or architect we might understand better why the design has come out as it is. Interviewing someone who doesn't even live there yet (and maybe might not ever legally do so) is just not very interesting...

[@alexandrasampaio6255]

My dream house!!! I envy you. Amazing!!!

[@MagicTango]

great idea and beautiful tiny house! indeed with the property marker getting so unrealistic this can be an eco-friendly alternative for a single person or a couple.

[@newbeatlee]

so interesting proyect and what a beautiful girl !

[@Robocoppat]

Your home is beautiful. I hope you get the tiny house movement going up in BC. I wish you and your business partner luck and success in your quest. 2 THUMBS UP

[@jthehumanbeing]

She's hardworking and attractive, the house is different and I like it. Well done and thanks for documenting!

[@intercoursechef]

Yup! I'd let her kiss me!

[@tdfguy2002]

It’s ridiculous how cities/municipalities are against the tiny house movement. It’s slowly changing in some areas like Berkeley CA.

[@macioluko9484]

Well. It's not so much the municipalities but it's who is behind them... Developers and mortgage lenders... If people realize that they can live in a home for under $50 000, suddenly it becomes affordable and debt-free. You see the problem...

[@iammaximus614]

Mortgage loans industrial complex ⚙️

[@yushikuang7877]

As long people who are living off grid doesn’t use municipal infrastructure, school, libraries, etc...it’s ok. But that the problem, if all people go off grid who will pay munical taxes ?

[@MadAboutRAE]

This is so inspiring. I love her tiny home it's one of the best I have seen. I wonder how much $$$ she paid for this one.

[@KathleenJean53]

Brilliant and beautiful.

[@roxannejoncas]

Love your home. I think it's my favourite so far and would love one like this.

Great video! Was Sam successful at legalizing the tiny houses in BC? I'll check out the other video on the endscreen to see if it gives the answer.

[@xiangkunlou9583]

[@desireedejean9780]

So Cool!!!

[@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS]

AS LONG SHE LIKES IT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

[@skirwan78]

then why put it on youtube with a comment section?

[@intuitivemeena]

Beautiful 💖👍

[@sherriegal1707]

The city folk said "cool idea but dont park it in my neighborhood" Rural folk said "sure no problem," i find this very intresting.

[@fibrobunnybuild-a-bearfan3479]

Since I want to live in a secluded off grid spot, rural would be no problem for me.

[@terri639]

Why would this seem surprising? I actually own a farm that is more than 100 acres and also have a house in a city. I would allow people to park on my farm, but not on my lot in the city. You're already too close to neighbors in the city and it isn't always built for the setup that tiny houses need. It might also be illegal in some areas. On rural farmland no one cares what you do. I am not really sure your point here. I think you are trying to imply that rural people are more generous somehow, but that makes zero sense when you consider the differences in the environment.

[@NinaHProductions1]

It seems obvious that the more closer out from the city, the more available space there is ..... so wouldn’t that be expected?! Or am i missing something.

[@fumiheadley4874]

Ummm, there's not much room in the city. What's so interesting?
