#tinyhouse #tinyhome #tinyhousevillage - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
![Yoshi Rinrada - 'มาทำไม' [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/r41xbfRLkLs/mqdefault.jpg)
NEVER give any contractor money up front. Pay as they do the work. This is what the US Builder Association recommends.
Unfortunately, sometimes there's no choice.
Never give them money to buy materials, buy it yourself or go shop with them.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they are violating the constitution but you don't know your own rights
@@BrittMFH Correct I unfortunately fell victim to A building company who did not produce My Tiny Home. 😩
I think it's standard to pay 50% before they start so read reviews
She's made so many clever additions to this little house. I admire the way she took charge of what was basically a shell and turned it into a functional home -- including making it a happy place for her cats.
Yes, she did!! The catio over the trailer tongue was genius use of wasted space. Adding a shed and wrap around deck with privacy screen made it feel larger and added needed storage and living space.
Tiny homes are just not livable many times, but this was great!
I'm so happy she's taken such care and attention with her kitties and she didn't just get rid of them when they didn't fit in to her life. Good for her! Such an adorable and cozy home.
You have a better cat set up than people do in huge homes. You have some lucky cats!❤
This is a realistic depiction of tiny house life, in my opinion & from my experience. As a tiny house dweller myself, the struggle with storage solutions is real, even if you do downsize dramatically, especially if someone else built your house. She has done an excellent & inspiring job of solving those challenges! Go girl!!!
Realistic? Because they ripped her off like a regular home builder? LOL - 34k is an absolute joke of a price for this...
@@tipsysmichigander6483
Have you priced things out lately? I remember when you could get a really nice tiny home like this for about $25,000 but after 2020 things took a sharp turn up…..I wonder how come🤔🤔🤔😑😑😑😑 #ElectionsHaveConsequences
@@tipsysmichigander6483 Many tiny homes I've seen that were built by contractors or tiny home builders have/had price tags of $90,000 or more.
She did ok despite the fact that her builder was sketchy.
Being a cat woman myself, I love this build. The tool box is so adorable and useful without being ugly. I would kill for a catio!
How about the little kitty steps on the wall? Love that! I’m a cat woman too and love making my home more functional for them and me. She did a great job! And yes..the catio is great..I have a real screened in patio and my cats spend the majority of their time out there in the fresh air. They love it
AGREED, LOVE THIS, SO CUTE & CLEVER!! ❤
I’m obsessed!!! The best tiny house I’ve seen, my cats are jealous! Lol
Same!
@@Drivenaway89Why would your cats be jealous unless you never let them see the outdoors where they can enjoy nature? You probably keep them locked in the house 24/7 which would be considered cruelty to animals😢
When posting videos like this, it's really helpful to know who the builder is. I think if this were my home, I would eventually make the outside deck area a screened in porch because cats! Hang out there, watch a movie, read a book, chilling the with kitties. Such a cozy and lovely home.
Yes to all of Thissss 🥰🩵🙌🏾😅😊
I thought the same about the porche and the cats
It seemed like she didn't want to say who built it but my bet is ITH=Incredible Tiny Homes in Newport TN.
@@Connie67 yeah, I got the impression that she didn't want to call them out, since she didn't really seem super happy with their work. So many changes and alterations she's had to make to live in it.
The cats don't need to be screened in. They should be free to roam about as they want in her tiny community. I hate when cat owners keep their cats confined to the walls of their home like prisoners.
Finally someone who actually lives in their house amd has stuff!! I hate all the videos of empty super clean "minimalist" tiny homes!
What a sweet lady! I love how creative she is and and I love her home. Love her little cat family too!
I love that she modified the house to accommodate her furr babies ❤ no doubt the cat cafe is gonna be beautiful
She should design tiny homes. Love this! Especially how she considers her cats. 😻
Don’t know why more people don’t have a shed. Seems like such a smart idea. You can rotate stuff through your house.
This is gorgeous. This young lady has done miracles in her tiny.
Now the place is very confortable, she made by herself
all the necessary equipments she needed and the result is super.
Congrats girl, you did it perfectly according to your needs.
Your kitties are so lucky to have you.
I wish this young lady a very sweet and kind life
in her tiny home. All the best for you lovely lady.
(I 2nd what she said!)
I’m in love with the gorgeous blue and white exterior and how she got a custom shed to match! Saving this video just for that inspiration! She’s done a fantastic and creative job fixing all her storage issues and making this a super cat friendly house! But, after having cats myself, and knowing the smell of the litter box I would definitely have to build a little bump out box for the litter box, on the side of the house with an extractor fan.
The litterbox in kitchen is dicey. Not enough storage. They don't even build enough in full sized homes.
I agree cute house, but the cat litter box is where? I owned cats too, and the smell of their urine and feces would make a grown man cry. I like your ideal about building a bump out box with an extractor fan.
I started using Wood Shavings for an Off Grid Toilet setup and tried it in Cats litter box.. Not only did He Like it.. there's Really No Odor... He must cover better than I do, bcuz the ppl version Gets 'special', and needs taking out sooner that the Cats box.. also Much cheaper, less than $7 @ Tractor Supply..
I absolutely adore her and her house and as a senior citizen with three cats I could see myself living in a little place like that😊😊😊
I love how integrated the cats are into her living space. ❤
What a cool young woman! Love her vibe and can-do attitude. She’s created a cozy and lovely home for her and her furry family. The cat implements in the home are clever and I’m going to steal the little cat steps along the wall idea. I wish her builder would have automatically built the storage beneath the stairs which is very standard fare. She shouldn’t have to do those… thank you for sharing!
Adorable. Love all of it. My daughter is also cat mad and lives in a 26ft vintage caravan. Her cats have enclosures off two windows. Like Ashley everything is about the cats. Well done!
Cute! I love that she's made so many upgrades herself
Ashley!!! I used to go to a Bible study with her. Such a sweet person! I love this house!
I Love her creativity and use of space. She should be called Creative Cat Lady.😻
I wanted to go tiny, but a tiny house was not practical for me, so I moved into a 1 bedroom, ground floor apartment with a patio. It's near family and I love it.
Your tiny house is one of the best I've seen. I love the adjustments you've made to it. The kitchen shelves are lovely and the baskets are adorable! You've given me some ideas for my bathroom, though I suspect that your bathroom would fit in it at least twice, it's still small. I do have a laundry room off of it, which is delightful. I remember how thrilled my aunt was when her younger brother installed her stackable washer/dryer unit in her front hall closet so she didn't need to go downstairs to do laundry. I feel the same way.
Looking at your staircase, I think you might be best served by installing drawers on the stairs themselves, like the two you already have. The house was obviously designed and built by men who have never lived tiny, otherwise you would have storage everywhere. Tiny house guys get it, though. One guy built drop-down cupboards between the joists of his loft floor in the kitchen. Of course, my first thought was I would be permanently concussed from bumping into them when I had them open, but they did look handy. Your bedroom loft is excellent! I love the bookshelf and side table. I love that you built and adapted so much of your home furnishings.
Now the catio is simply brilliant! There is no other way to describe it. And the way you fit their litter box in is perfect. However, the cat loft takes the whole design to Spoiled Princesses Level! The catwalks and steps are exceptional! My cats would love all of that. And using the ladder as a scratching post! Well, it reminds me of my 4 ft wooden step ladder that I covered with sisal, added boards to make the paint shelf and top big enough for cats to sprawl on and wrapped them in carpet. It was a lovely cat tower, especially after I added the hammock, which they loved. They could lay in it and watch the birds. It was also a lot cheaper than the cat towers sold in stores.
I do believe that the outside of your home is, perhaps, the best part! The deck is beautiful! It makes your home so welcoming and the chairs you built are gorgeous! So comfortable! I think your little table and chairs are really cute too. I love that your shed matches your house. I am also amazed at how organized everything is. I would love to see another tour of your home after you get it finished.
Our fur babies are adorable ❤. I'm also a cat mum to a black domestic shorthair called Buffy
Does Buffy get to play outdoors?
Loved how Ashley held her tools saying never with out them. Wonder if she has a tool belt to hold in the ready. Just a female vision of Tim Allen from Tool Time... No grunting but she does have the gleam when talking tools.👍👍👏🎉😺😺😺🤟
As a cat woman with 4 cats...this would be my dream tiny home. I love her little catio. For ages I've wanted to make a similar cat box attached to one of my windows, so they could have their own window box to bask in the sun in. I love the idea of the cat door in a plexiglass inset to allow them to go in and out. Plus I love all the cat stairs/catwalks, including the wall mounted bed. Honestly, all her cat themed touches are amazing. I envy her her tiny house, and her cats are beautiful. I have 3 black cats, with one being long hair, and an orange and white tabby. I'd probably want a bigger house than hers. My cats and I currently live in a 500sqft apartment, so they definitely enjoy more space.
I can relate too. 🙆🏻♀️🫶🏽
Wow four cats in an apartment? I hope sometimes you are letting them out doors to enjoy nature. All those cats are not happy being locked inside under each other at all times. It doesn't matter how "comfortable" you think you have made their living space they are miserable not having the privilege to enjoy nature. That's cruelty to animals if that's you.😢
I really enjoy watching the videos where people show how they creatively made their life work in the space they could afford, as opposed to super expensive tiny homes with everything built-in & perfect. This girl reminds me so much of my daughter. I really loved the thoughts to her cats.
She has made her tiny house adorable and purrfect!
Kudos to you for taking a Tiny shell and turning it into a very functional and cozy space! What a confidence builder to make the additions and changes as you go. BTW: the Adirondack chairs are something you should hold onto for the rest of your life. I know your dad has got to be proud of your accomplishments. Way to go...............
I love everything about this house! The patio is such a great addition - as is the catio! It's a really nice colour as well.
She did such an amazing job. These builders really took advantage of her. But she turned it around and made the best of that tiny house and made all the custom improvements that truly make a house a home! After her improvements, it turned out just darling! I’m so impressed with her vision and her skills! I think she did amazing with her storage solutions. I’m thoroughly convinced that she could out build her builder any day!
Sweet person! I am glad your kitties have their own spaces. I like what you did with your home.
I enjoyed watching your sweet cats and how they can go outside too!
Now this lovely lady has done a great job on making her tiny house a home.👍👍❤
Adorable! Love the matching shed and her tool chest. The catio is ingenius! Thanks for not letting your cats roam freely. Too dangerous!
As far as removing the bathroom door, you could always use a tension rod and curtain. It would help, too, with retaining heat in the bathroom after showering. Always open then to air out.
Enjoy!!
No. Letting cats roam is not dangerous especially in a tiny community where you know everybody. I never lived in a tight knit community though we had many cats when I was growing up. We lived in the heart of the city and our cats were free to come and go as they pleased. If you train them they will never go too far away. Our cats would always stay close enough to hear us call them when it was time to come in. Cats need to have freedom to roam. That is their nature. When you deprive them of their natural proclivities, you make yourself to be a cruel, selfish abuser who should not have the privilege of owning any pets.
I ADORE your devotion to your cats! Great layout! 😻
I, too, am very much a Cat lady. If they come, they get fed & always fresh water. Presently, I have "20". People always want kittens so can't find homes for older ones. I spay/neuter all I can catch. Am on fixed SS income, when the vet bills arrive, that is tough for me, buttt. I, too, buy/find cat 'items'. Have about 10 cat cups. Usually find them at Dollar Tree. Kudos to you and your babies. JudyK/general Maquoketa, IA country area
Thank you for being a decent human ~ a fellow cat lady
Such a nice home! Love the cat friendly upgrades such a thoughtful cat mom! ❤
You are so upfront and truthful about yourself and your home and how it wasn’t all like a big satisfying feeling and because of your true feelings it’s so much easier for us to be prepared and to not set ourselves up for such a high expectation that we are then disappointed because you have just about everyone building it up so much and never say anything negative so I already love your intro you also told about the contractor and I have heard some very bad things about some shady builders and so many scammers now a days I am shocked when a homeowner gets scammed and they lose because our laws protect the crooks . You have to prove that you are not wrong and they are so good at this they know the laws and hardworking homeowners are not thinking about such things!!! I you are really doing well and love your catio but your entire home is great
Love the color of your house, great cardio, and nice woodwork/carpentry! Well done!!
The house is beautiful. I love it❤. & I love the cat walks, it’s nice for the cats to have their own space and little cat walks.
I love how the kitties have their own loft space and patio. So cute! ❤
Very cool tiny house! Love how she made extra storage areas and also the cat spaces for her cats are awesome!😊
Beautiful! $34,000 is very cheap…she got a great deal. The wood is gorgeous⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
But still $550 a month for lot rent. That’s ridiculous actually. Property tax, insurance, maintenance too?
@@Originalman144 if that includes water, sewer, Utilities, etc., it is not that bad.
@@emmas1082 For a 2bd 2ba 1150 sq ft apartment in one of the nicest suburbs in Virginia, I paid $110 for electricity and only $50 for Fios internet. Water was like $30/ month.
How much utilities do you need in a tiny home? 😂 The footprint of this tiny home is so small and this is like 2x the cost of a large apartment.
Maybe the lot rent is excessive as she doesn’t own the land.
That means she’s not paying property tax out of that amount. It still seems quite high if the place is paid off.
@@Originalman144 What she is doing is cheaper than buying land. The costs involved with land: permits, surveying, install sewer or septic, electrical and outlet for the home, land pad, create a driveway, property taxes, insurance, etc., can be very expensive. If she utilized a mortgage or a loan to do that, it would cost more than $550 a month to pay off and she would pay interest each month. For $550 she can socialize with people, utilize the facilities, and not deal with all of the above. Also, maybe it is a good location near everything? The cost to buy land in a good area, near everything, is expensive. Depending on zoning she might not be able to put her tiny home on it, or otherwise get away with just living on the property in camping mode- but if she was able to, it might not be very comfortable.
@@Originalman144 …..digging a well or piping water in? Even if she is close to all the utilities it is still expensive installing them in a lot.
I would add a barn door to the bathroom and she can move the items she has on the wall where the barn door would rest no loss of space and less money than a pocket door
Nice work! Congratulations!
Great storage and cat space ideas.❤❤❤❤
Best home ever. Love the shed, patios and the catio!!! So many excellent ideas. Love your builds!!!
Cats are so beautiful.
So many awesome things about this tiny home and owner. Love all the cat features! ❤️ I really wish Canada, and specifically Ontario, had tiny home communities like the US does. Love the deck and love the shed!
Love her, love the cats, love the cat mugs, and the tiny home!
Hi Ashley. I love your home, your cats and your catio! I also live in a tiny home in Tennessee and have 2 cats. I have part of my catio built, but haven't finished it yet. That will be a spring project. You've done some very cleaver things for storage. Great job. I like everything you've done inside for the cats too! Enjoy your home!
Your tiny house is cute as a button! Love your kitties. I can def picture you opening a cat cafe and making a go of it!!❤
I love her little house!! And her cats 🐈 🐈⬛ 🐈 as a fellow cat lady, I love how she accommodated them 😻
You have a beautiful tiny house and I love all the thought and care you put into your house for your 3 cats...thank you for sharing 💜🇦🇺
Nice. Lovely living. But the rent should be max 200 $. Do not see why they need to charge more than that.
Her lot rent is quite reasonable for a bank-financed tiny home park.
@@daviduribe3111 that's more than my rent in England, and I have front and back gardens and the actual brick built bungalow too! Full size rooms, storage, my hallway cupboard is almost as big as her shed! I also have two sheds outside and a big loft.
I do think, for what actually amounts to a small square of grass, that's a ridiculous amount to charge her for "rent".
Mine is £85 a week, which is approximately $110 x 4 = $440 a month.
@@tamielizabethallaway2413don’t tell where you live… that’s how cost of living goes up. Everyone shows up. 😂
@@angelinimartini haha 😁
The prices for EVERYTHING in America is terrifying. I don't know how half the people survive honestly! 😳
😘😘😘
Many trailer parks charge 500 to 900 per month.
You rock Ashley!
Hey cat lady! Nice job!❤
Best build with modifications I've seen, but then I love cats! 😹😻😹
Ashley did such an amazing job! Wow! Love those kitties as well.
I love all the extra adjustments made for your fur babies . its a cozy tiny home and i love the colour.
Your tiny house is so cute....I love it and love how you accommodated all your kitties :)
The builder looks like Incredible Tiny Homes located in east Tennessee. Love the wood everywhere! Now this manufacturer uses barn doors instead of regular doors for bathroom and bedroom doors. They are good quality and slide on a track. Very clever lady to make all the shelves, etc. to make it hers!
I was thinking the same thing that the builder was ITH.....
Thinking for that price it wasn’t ITH!
@@judith3774 🤣💯❤️
ITH does not build cedar lined showers.
I love this house, this woman, those cats, that outdoor living area, the cat loft, even that spacious park! If i weren't a married farmer, i would want to be her tiny house neighbor! Best wishes to her.
Love the cat house!😻
Love your tiny house Ashley.
The whole home is very cosy and the colour of the exterior is nice. You three beautiful cats are adorable. I like cats as well. You are very talented those chairsare nice alsoyour cute little bedside cabinet.
Awesome space!!! You could hang painters cloth curtains on your porch for added privacy. Paint a very wide horizontal stripe on them for fun. Love your cats❤❤
2 cats, 120 sq ft. TH , 5 years later and doubling the size.
Happy to see another female doing the tiny life with her cats and tools ❤
Ellie, Landon and Lulu are adorable❤😊YOU did a wonderful job on your build😊❤
Looks great!! Cats look
So happy 😊
Excellent outlook, and determination to meet her needs. I like the ongoing plan to improve storage. Great job making it your own place, and your kitties. 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💓
the dream!
The kitties are so CUTE!!!!
Love
that she made space for the kitties 🐱🥰
Love this girl's creativity ❤
Great job making your tiny home for your own style and needs! You definitely seem very happy and excited about your space. 😊
It's nice to see one of these episodes where the owner has cats! I've always wondered how you could accommodate multiple cats comfortably.
The cats are adorable and I love love love the catio. Having cats is a big concern for me about going tiny down the road and she’s made it work. I wouldn’t love the litter box being in the kitchen. I also love the outdoor screen for movie nights. I agree with another commenter who mentioned they’d enclose the deck/make a screened area to enjoy the outdoors without mosquitoes and the cats could cuddle outside with their human. Just an fyi, the front door swinging out vs in may be a fire hazard/not acceptable to code.
I suspect a "screened" in porch would have tp be the style of the catio. Regular screens are ruined because cats love to crawl on the screen material. Meaning it gets ruined..lol
The issue is where to park it 🤷🏻♀️
She went to a NC community where they are welcomed by a land owner. 💙
Any land in the Pacific north west? I'm looking. RV parks are getting bought out by corps and super expensive
@@luvyatubers wow so now that’s another issue I didn’t know about…u see i know there’s some tiny homes community here and there maybe in one state or two but it’s not the norm and i’ve seen many that have family land where they can park for free…the more i look into tiny homes (which some are becoming more expensive) the more i realize buying a small piece of land is really what i need to do first or just rent from a tiny house community if they already provide the house 🏡 thx for sharing that info 👍🏼
I love everything about this tiny house except for the litter pan in the kitchen.
I love this woman. She's so creative and personable.
I like her setup and her catio for her babies!
So adorable. I love all the cat mugs and the cat patio.❤
I have that exact cat mug at the very bottom left corner of the cup rack.
💙🐾
She's done a great job customising the house to her own needs.
we are such twins! I am opening a cat cafe too. LOVE your kitty cats
love how she set it up and all the cat things she added
Love her energy! She’s a go getter and not superficial
That was fun!...going thru the house with her telling us about it. Her joy is contagious to me. Love seeing how pets can be incorporated into tiny homes, esp when their happiness matters this much! I have 5 rescued cats, so good to know that 3 in house works! The home seems very cozy, comfy for all living there & cuz' she builds things, makkes the home unique & purr-fect for all 4 of them! Thanks for sharing!
This is beautiful and so functional. When you add cabinets under stairs, it will be purrfect.
Omg I’m an NC cat mom of 7 who also collects cat themed mugs & such. I love the innovation & consideration of the cats within this home!
Ashley killed it! She's such a bada$$ and inspiration!!! Right on!!!! I love it!
But the cat has a bow tie!
Lovely lady, lovely cats, lovely home.
Love the to shed! And, of course, The fact that she maintained her commitment to her cats even though her situation changed.
Love this tiny home! And the cats look very happy there too❤️
I adore your cat mugs collection!
I like the idea of starting with the basics. Then adding your own personal design as you go. Our likes and dislikes change over time. Redoing the bathroom or the storage in the stairs. Can be thought thru and be according to her own personal needs.Great Job!!
Creative, cute and functional! 😻😻😻
This is one of my favorite tiny homes and tours that I've seen so far! I'm a crazy cat lady, and if I ever were to move into a tiny home I would need to modify it for furry family members as well and you gave me great ideas! I live in a good sized house with 2 other people but haven't found a catio solution that would fit my yard situation til now-I just may have to copy that plexiglass and support set up!
I SUPER ❤ this! Kudos to you on a great home. Very informative and inspiring! 👏🙏✌️
She’s done a great job with that space!
