Love how the flip up counter and fold down table form a peninsula L shape kitchen!! Really clever! The reuse of the bathroom vanity for the kitchen is super smart as well! Probably saved a ton of time and money by doing that. Great house!
I simply loved this tiny home... You can call it TINY just because of the size, but they have all that they need!! A kids play area too!! Kidding me!! That's an awesome idea!! Liked the Kitchen set up and a sofa turning into a bed.. A must "multipurpose" thing for a tiny home!! All in all, this is awesome!! Loads of love from India!!
That's a sweet home. I wonder if they will upgrade when the kids become teens. Probably will. Also I love what they did with their pantry. Like it doubles as a utilities closet. Genius.
This is a beautiful build!! My husband and I have been together for 32 years. We have 6 children and will soon welcome our 14th grandchild to our family!! We've lived in the same home for going 27 years as of 8/19/2022, and have WAY TOO MANY THINGS!! UGH! Our home is paid off and I'm trying to convince him to go tiny and rent our 4 bedroom/ 2½ bathroom home. He's not sold on the idea, but I DEFINITELY am!! Thanks for letting us into your home. May God bless you and your little ones for years to come! And thank you for the tip off on 3/3/3! (I didn't know!) ❤️ 🙏🏼 🏡
Hi Donna--we've been married 50 years and have a reno'd farmhouse on 180 acres in NB Canada--I want to go tiny and build it here with 'stuff' we have and drag it out west where our kids and grandkids are. He also does not want to do it. I've been called a hoarder but really trying to get rid of stuff.
Wow, what an amazing house and what a beautiful family. Glad you guys loved your time in New Zealand. I know how beautiful it is because I live here. I hope you all get to come back one day. Looking forward to watching your channel, love what I see so far. Blessings from NZ. 😁👌❤️
@@livingcompact Oh thank you. It is a very special and sacred place. The fact that you both loved your time here and our beautiful Aotearoa (New Zealand) resonated so strongly with you, is a message from this land, that she is calling you back because you have shown respect. You and your family (whanau) and children ( tamariki) will be drawn back when the time is right and the land and people will welcome you, and you will be safe here. 😁👌❤️
Nice job!!! My husband n I are retired, sold our home, downsized! Ps bought a smaller new rv!!! Love it like a 2nd. tiny home, ps near our granddaughter's!!! 🤩😃
Living Compact I was following on Instagram, but since I deleted the app, I had missed seeing them! Great tiny house! Like the economical use of materials.
You’ve done a great job with your house I want a tiny as well I’m so sick of having to pay out everything I have coming in I just want to live simple the rest of my life now
Have seen the fold down wall table before but never a ladder like that. Great idea. What about a ventilation system for mold/mildew control. Didn't hear anything about it. Thought it was a must for tiny homes? Comnents anyone? Still would need safer railings on stairway. But overall very nice. Looks like you're on family property: city with the additional domicile provision? Propane or natural gas from house line? Water hookup from house? Nice way to cut costs, save. Besides cute littte ones great to see the loyal dog🤗
Thanks - that ladder idea was all Seth. Can’t think of anywhere else we saw that. We live in Colorado so it’s VERY dry and mold/mildew is not a problem. We did install a humid controlled fan in the bathroom that kicks on automatically if there was a humidity problem inside. Our wood stove also dried everything out and we put a kettle on top with water to add back humidity. Not much I can say about the handrail except that it was added on after our first was born. It’s not made for adults, but more to keep the kids safer on the stairs. We use the small propane tanks you can fill at gas stations. We have 2 and we run out of propane every 4 months. It’s crazy cost effective. Water comes from a hose because water tanks inside tend to leak and cause major issues. So our water pressure literally comes from the hose (which is food grade and we have 2 water filters).
I admit I didn’t quite watch all the way to the end, but I thought this was a family of 6? I’m always interested in how large families make it work in small spaces.
great job....love carpenters, none exisitant where I am in Florida...its nuts in Florida and good luck getting home owners insurance here...will check out the coffee option
Wow, it's not only really beautiful, but also really practical and functional. You don't need a huge house. For me personally, with 3 kids and a dog, it's a bit too small. The kids are getting older, but otherwise the house is great designed.
This is a cool space..I have been wanting to do this but I've founds issues with...each county is different some allow tiny houses others dont..and the other issue is needing to buy land with water and septic..How have you dealt with these issues?
There are many, many new places you can park legally now. Check out Tiny House Expedition as they tour all the legal tiny home parks popping up all over the country.
It varies! Some buy land, some ask around on Facebook to find someone with land that needs the extra income. We built before we had a spot and it’s worked out in the 4 places we’ve had our home.
I love seeing a man being the leader. I'm so used to them taking the backseat and the woman driving, this is refreshing. A leader, a goal, and action behind it.
If my children ever move out once they’re adults then this is definitely something I would love to do but I just can’t see this working with 5 children
THAT WHOLE WALL WHERE YOUR TV IS LOCATED, IS NOT A GOOD USE OF SPACE. A LOT MORE COULD OF BEEN PUT IN THAT SPACE. OF COURSE THIS IS MY OPINION. THE BUILD ITSELF IS VERY NICE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
I think it’s a bit funny how growing up we called this a trailer and now it’s a tiny house lol it’s seems great now but what about with two grown kids?
Inflation is destroying the living standards in the country. In the future, these tiny homes are going to be what people can afford. Side not, for reference, we call these same homes in 3rd world or less developed countries shackes.
Haha! It was stressful filming with 2 toddlers. We are very happy, we’ve just tired parents. We’ve been living compact for 6 years so this is just our normal life. Sorry we didn’t smile more 😅
Sorry but this a huge bug bear for me. Debt free. Let's talk about that. Define debt. A debt is something you owe which can be money or something in kind payment. 1) Money - you can be off the power, sewage & water grids. You can also grow a lot of your own food - all of which can cut living costs. What about things like insurances, access to communication networks (phone/net), motor vehicle registration, petrol & repairs to your vehicle, the food you can't grow, clothes, health costs not covered by insurance, gas for stoves/fridge if used. If you own the land you're parked on then you'll have local govt taxes to pay. All money that's owed, so therefore - a debt. 2) In kind payments - some - not all - of the above costs can be met via barter - like labour for car repairs or some of the food you're not growing yourself. But you have to give something in return - an in kind payment. In other words - again - something you owe to someone else - aka a debt. Please get rid of your sense of entitlement.
Hi Beth, sorry we pushed a button of yours. We’ve never heard your perspective before. We budget expenses that you’ve described, but we do not have loans or credit card debt anymore. Just utilities, taxes, insurance and life expenses so our cost of living is much less so we can live on a single income and spend time with our kids more. We mention it because it’s a perk of living tiny. We don’t have expensive rent or mortgage either. In our town, it costs $3,000k a month to rent and that is IF you can find a home to rent because of 2nd home owners/investors. Anyway, we hope you understand, we’re not trying to act entitled, just trying to inspire others that tiny living has benefits.
@@livingcompact thankyou for your reply. I find it irritating when language is inaccurate - because people can form an inaccurate picture. I have a son with autism - one of the most overused diagnoses out there, in the main because it's a broad church into which a lot of other diagnoses can be made to fit, because the kid needs support and the system doesn't/won't/can't provide it for their condition but will for autism. This makes things worse for people with autism than it should be when it comes to community acceptance. "Freedom" as a term is loaded and implicitly defined by each of us. And there seem to be of late a lot of folk who seem to think it means the right to do what you want, when you want, to whom you want, the way you want. Nobody possesses that type of right because all our actions have consequences on others. Morally/ethically - no-one possesses a right of any kind to cause harm to others in any way.
Why the creators of this channel dont imgorm their people in the videos TO PLEASE SPEAK ABOUT THE TINY HOUSE MORE! Measurements, prices, process, costs ABOUT THE HOUSE. Nobody cares about personal work, bussiness, those stuff. This videos are interesting but MAYBE THE 25% of people spend their time talking about personal information. THIS CHANNEL IS ABOUT TINY HOUSES OR NOT???🙄🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
You can always reach out to us about our home. It only cost us $25k to build over 9 months as we paid as we built. It’s a 28’ tiny home, 8.5’ wide, 13’ tall I think. It’s the max height and width without needing a permit to move. We didn’t talk much about our personal work, but we mentioned Compact Coffee as all our equipment is inside our tiny home (between events).
Love the home!! Please everyone hear the gospel message before it's too late! Jesus is our only hope for freedom and Salvation not politicians! Ray Comfort has FREE movies and interviews on TH-cam with the gospel!
Love the rule about everything needing three uses.
I love this tiny house and he thought about everything that would make their lives easier ❤
It's the first tiny house with a family that doesn't feels cramped, love it 📯📯😄😃
Love how the flip up counter and fold down table form a peninsula L shape kitchen!! Really clever! The reuse of the bathroom vanity for the kitchen is super smart as well! Probably saved a ton of time and money by doing that. Great house!
Your children & dog are soooo well behaved, congratulations on your parenting. I believe they feed off your easy going calm vibe.
He is an awesome family man! What a beautiful he has built! ❤❤❤

That wooden boat art in the bathroom is so pretty! You're very talented.
I love the ladder that goes up and out of the way to the ceiling. Nice home and family. Congratulations on a job well done.
As a dad, he's thought of everything!! Great tips and use of space! Cute babies!! Mom seems pretty chill due to all his ideas!
Very Beautiful Home with customization! Beautiful Family! Tyfs!😁👏🏾👏🏾❤ Congratulations on your Continued Success!
Beautiful house love it. Again your pet should be included he looks happy and relaxed beside you on the couch..family of 5
That is so cool. Congratulations to you guys on financial solvency, your new home and your beautiful kids!!
Love this house, so well thought out and cosy. Thanks for sharing 😊
Nice classic tiny house
I kept waiting for the dog to be introduced.
Her name is Emery! :)
That's a sweet home. I wonder if they will upgrade when the kids become teens. Probably will. Also I love what they did with their pantry. Like it doubles as a utilities closet. Genius.
Maybe! Though, our tiny home is our biggest home (we also travel in our van and sailboat). It’s HUGE to us still.
Even odds. If they tell the boys "we can have a bigger house, and we can do fewer cool and fun things," the boys might decide to opt for staying tiny.
Well thought out beautiful & practical family home. Truly winning with the sliding towel rail, genius!
Lovely smartly built home

You should always keep a can of water on the stove during the winter!!!
We do!
What a stylish, cool and elaborated home.
I have those same towels!!
Some clever uses of items/space
great job....love carpenters, none exisitant where I am in Florida...its nuts in Florida and good luck getting home owners insurance here...will check out the coffee option
It’s very easy to get home owners insurance now!
Awesome build. Charming family! You inspired me here in Texas.

There are many, many new places you can park legally now. Check out Tiny House Expedition as they tour all the legal tiny home parks popping up all over the country.
I would like to learn how do ppl find places to put their tiny home. Do they buy land? Do they put it on an RV park? How does this work?
It varies! Some buy land, some ask around on Facebook to find someone with land that needs the extra income. We built before we had a spot and it’s worked out in the 4 places we’ve had our home.
@@livingcompact so is almost like an RV, that you can move it around and re-connect it? That sounds cool!

Can you please provide a link to where you bought the couch, thanks!
@Geoffrey Speed IKEA
@@marynelson3067 Thanks!
😍😍😍
I only referred to him because he shared their story... should’ve said them not him🙄
You are very creative. You could always start a buisness building small houses for other people.
Is the house sitting in someone else’s backyard?
No
Where did you get the sofa
IKEA
Thank you
How do you find the land
If my children ever move out once they’re adults then this is definitely something I would love to do but I just can’t see this working with 5 children
Where did couch come from?
IKEA
@@livingcompact Thank you!
Gr8 video , good thing thts they couch , cause those shoes an dirty bare feet would not be on my couch

Hey David, what would you have put in that space?
It’s says family of 6???

They don't seem happy though
