Using abbreviations assuming everyone on the planet knows your meaning is a weird flex. But okay.
Care to explain "ADU"?
@@tefinnegan5239 in the video description and in the video, we share that it means accessory dwelling unit 🙃 more on that: accessorydwellings.org/what-adus-are-and-why-people-build-them/
My house has a granny flat. Eventually, I’m considering moving into the granny flat, and renting out the house. This couple is smart. They are earning money with the main house. If they start a family, they can live in the main house and rent out the studio.
Love it Patti 😊 Best wishes with your plans!
Graet idea!
My plan after uni is to buy a house (single Dad brother & nephew will rent) with a granny flat that I live in. I can lease my flat as well and go off on adventure.
Secure accommodation for my sibling, income for me and inheritance for my nephew.
@@LaSorciereFeuillue Great plan! You might want to consider an older duplex. I’m in my 60’s. They were very common where I lived growing up, near Seattle. The ones I’m thinking of were usually 3 bedroom on each side. The older ones usually came on bigger lots, whereas most new builds are usually on postage stamp sized lots. That bigger lot might afford the opportunity to place a tiny house or two, so that you and your family can have family togetherness while also offering privacy and security of being able to close and lock your own door to get away from too much togetherness and family drama.
Also, if someone wants their own tiny house, let them pay for it. Get a written lease agreement for the parking space. Don’t try to foot the bill for everyone.
When I was young, my mom advised to buy a duplex, live in one, and rent the other. That would cover most of the mortgage payment. Wise advice. If I had stayed in that area and not married, that is probably where I would be, with my home paid for with other peoples money, the place paid off and rent still coming in like the tide.
Best wishes. And good luck!
@@pattimessenger6214 good advice and I appreciate your support.
A duplex is a good idea however they tend to be two bed on small blocks where I live (Tropical North Queensland in Australia) and have that skanky rental property look about them with small yards.
I am eyeing off larger blocks with an established house and a Big Shed With Potential as well as researching local council permissions for a THIMBY.
Let's see what I find...
*EXACTLY!*
So nice to receive an explanation of what an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is for those of us who might not have been familiar with the acronym.
Thank you for clearing that up. I was feeling a little dumb 🤭
@@glendanorris4764me too lol…😂😂😂
I’ve been studying alternative living environments for many years and this is one of the very best I’ve seen. It is intelligent, charming, engaging and inviting and totally successful. Portland has always been progressive in this area, I hope other places will wake up to this smaller version if communal living. I’m moved and inspired. Thank you.
I want friends who will provide space for my (future) tiny house or adu. So many folks with tinies seem to have family to help them build and then provide space. Hard for those of us without a large income stream or outside support. Beautiful job folks.
Love the idea of more friends banding together to help each other ❤️😊
I agree 100%
I know there are some good resources on social media
I don’t use any of those however
I often meet people organically that think it’s a great option
But they aren’t willing to make the commitment
But don’t give up!
It’ll happen for you! It just might take a while
@@alteredstateskustom Thanks for the encouraging words, friend!
I LOVE watching stories like this, where patience, planning & making sure you're doing everything right ... culminates in helping to positively change Council Legislation ... even if it's a little bit at a time.
Sounds like you actually have people on your Council, that actually care about alternative living, and the spaces that people want to build/errect. Go Portland !!! Hugs from Australia, Veronica 💜
As a Kiwi it was such a lovely surprise to see a copy of the Edmonds Cookery Book on your kitchen shelf. Such a classic icon in New Zealand homes.
I love the community and the tiny house on the property. So cool to have true friends to hang out with and enjoy the outdoor. I liked the small house with everything open inside and functional. Thumb up!
They all really achieved such lovely practical individual and shared homes 👌👌✨
No sacrifice here. Beautiful spaces!! You've done an amazing job with your three small living spaces. So impressive.
I love it! The tiny living, the extra income from Airbnb, The friends sharing your backyard. I love it all!
Such a brilliant setup! 😁✨
Congratulations on your baby . Love your friends have done with their property. Wow that’s awesome. Beautiful homes all of it . I can’t imagine how your feeling having to move forward . But it’s the time & season. Good luck to all of you in the future.
That smallest space is quite impressive. Really neat to see the different designs to have it functional.
The decor in your ADU is my absolute favorite and I’ve been looking at tiny houses for approximately 2 years! Beautiful!!!
I love the cabinet doors without pulls or knobs!
Admire the houses and also the commitment to minimal living! Well done! Wish more could get the message!
Oh a lot of places are .!!..there is a tiny home community that just was built in Idaho city .
What delightful couples! Really well thought of. Love the communal living the backyard was beautiful and how smart to live in a tiny house and make the front house an Airbnb. Love the intentional living and sustainability. This was a great blog! Thank you
It really is a wonderful place; thanks Liz!
This blows my mind on the amount of space the tiny homes have. Both tiny homes are gorgeous and so well thought out!
Right?! Both are live much larger than they look on the outside 😊
am in a studio apt 350’ - ninth floor north with balcony the width of apt and a great view (wooded area beyond which university campus) my studio is bigger than most of the one bedrooms I’ve had - now I know why - it’s the size of a two car garage 🤦♀️ have been here now for 26 yrs and doing what I can to start “living tiny” while most likely aging in place - love getting great ideas from all kinds of tiny homes and their owners - YT throws up your wonderful videos at the most unexpected times - thnx guys keep sharing 🇨🇦🙏
You provided a home for 3 families that is wonderful and I love the oasis feel. I understand the big house is used for air b n b but you could rent it full-time
Both tiny houses are different and great job! The rustic tiny is very well thought out’ all the best with the new addition! 👶
The Murphy bed blow me away, I didn't expected it.👏👍
You guys did a great job! Your home is so beautiful
Wow - both the ADU & the tiny home are fabulous; especially the extremely creative storage space in the tiny house is amazing!
Seriously impressive!
Both homes are amazing. The ADU is spacious! The tiny home with that murphy bed is wonderfully functional. Love the stove as well. And Kudos to living there for 4 years!!!🎉
I watch a lot of Tiny house programs, but this Tiny House is the best designed and functional one I have ever seen. Sorry you have to leave it but congrats on growing your family.
My grandma raised me because my parents couldn’t be parents. This affected me growing up but I learned early to recognize the bad of my parents. Before having kids I went to counseling, read several books, and constantly reading articles to be the parent( not friend) I wish I had growing up.
Echoing the kudos for this wonderful little community space! Both spaces and the garden are lovely, and so glad Portland and the NW are allowing for so many options. And such a great idea to live in the ADU and rent out the larger home!
And love all the features in the TH - that Murphy bed!!
I lived and worked at Breitenbush in the 90s, in delightful small spaces (Inc a 17' D octagon and a yurt) and love the community lifestyle.
My daughter and son-in love will be building me a Grammy flat behind their house, and my 11 year old grandson and I are working on the veggie garden!
What wonderful housing experiences you’ve had! Best wishes with the completion of your granny flat, and please let us know if you might be interested in collaborating in the future 😊 tinyhouseexpedition.com/get-featured/
Beautiful couples living life intentionally and such a wonderful place they created. What a garden!
This is truly awesome 👏 the bathroom tiles are beautiful. The yard is so organic it’s like it’s been there forever. Love it beautiful.
Right?! Hard to believe it didn’t all exist just 2 years ago 😄😊
@@TinyHouseExpedition Oh I love it you all get to experience history in such a unique environment with your friends during the great lockdown due to Covid. You’ll have story to tell your offspring. While I was in NY riding an empty train feeling like the end of the world arrived and am the only one left .
Awesome job. Congrats on becoming parents. Hardest job ever and a bless from God.
Both are very nice homes ❣️ Congrats on the baby!
Beautifully designed tiny homes with a lot of aesthetic details. Love the communal garden too. Great job! Jenny
Please keep us update on Brad & Kate. Im really interested to see what they do if they decide to stay tiny adding in a baby to their family.
Saw it with the wife
These 2 homes were absolutely beautiful and so well done. You 2 couples thought of everything, there isn't anything i would change. We live in SoCal where anyone with a yard can now have an ADU. My dad has a huge garage that he basically just uses for storage, I cant wait to show him this video. Thanx so much for sharing.
Hope he digs the idea! 😊✨
What a beautifully done th-cam.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
Fantastic spaces, also loved the Kiwi connection with the Edmonds cookbook on show ❤❤
How fun and innovative your tiny house is. Thank you for showing your cute home💫
You guys are a TRUE inspiration to me. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful stories🌺😍😀
Is was all so beautiful
Beautiful and your fur babies are so cute ❤❤
Very helpful and relaxing to see the reality of this couples life and the way it coincides with my own visions for my future property.
What a great backyard! And both houses have such well-thought-out uses of space!
PS. Love the space saving choices in the friends tiny house are impressive!
Thank you for the advice not only showing us your tiny home that's beautiful but the advice about purging things as I look at my living room I'm thinking boy is she right❤
I love that brown leather couch 🤗
Cok cok beyendim iki arkadasin ayni bahcede olmasi muhtesem evlerinizde cok kullanisli super💖💖
Rich lives, full lives, a simple but good & full life..beautifully said, and beautifully created. Blessings! TFS!
such an amazing example of what is possible. love it.
This tiny home and your space looks really nice you did a good job. Enjoy.
I was born in Oregon! This is awesome I lived in Portland for years
I’m In Oakland live w family and we live in different areas of home. I live in the garage. It does get real hot . Thx for sharing! We need more of these alternative and communal
Homes
LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!! BEAUTIFUL CONCEPT & DESIGN. 👍🏽👍🏽
The space is very nice and functional. You have created something very special for yourselves and friends. Love the ideas. Great job
How wonderful to have so many share a city lot. We are soooo far from this in Texas.
Love their design and use of space!
I love the combination of community and eco living. ❤
I absolutely love this!!! Wow! Thank you for sharing this with us!!! 💜💜💜
So thrilled to share such lovely folks & beautiful living arrangement!
Gorgeous All of the homes Great job!👏🏾😁❤ the open floor plan, decor is Gorgeous!
Nice home. Beautiful blue bowls. Nice big shower & sky light.
Wonderful. This was 2 for 1. I enjoyed seeing both dwellings and learning, especially from the 2nd couple. I just excited once again about decluttering and minimizing the ‘things’ in my home. This gave me loads of motivation actually. Loved the bathroom! Hope you’ll continue to have a healthy friendship and too the couple expecting a wonderful healthy baby.🎉
This is a very tiny tiny house 😳 Cute though!
Wow qué bonito quedó todo,los jardines,las casitas,me encanta la cocina.feluvidades.hermoso el bañó con mucha luz.
Really Cool though built ins flooring, Murphy bed, storage really cool!👏🏾👏🏾😁❤ CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR HOMES, AND THE NEW BABY COMING!
Love the whole setup 💞
Makes for a good example for others
Nice video, good information. The smallest tiny home was incredible. Good idea with the shed. Smart thinking. Thanks.
THIS might be the best TINY that I have ever seen !!~ LOVE this ..... # unicorn !!~
Great video. Beautiful and inspiring granny and tiny. I relate to these forward-thinking values of what is really important: Free time, less is more, economic freedom and simplicity... These homes reflect this. Great job! Thanks ;-)
Love the ADU and the garden very very tastefully done!!!
Love the removable stove top, nice touch
Wow, what a great use of your property! Great to let your house pay for your lifestyle, and to enjoy your friends in your backyard!
I know it’s more money but I love the idea of using the house as an air b&b and doing full time living in an adu or tiny home. You can still live tiny and not have to worry about finding parking or a place to put it.
If you can swing it, it’s so well with it! 😄😊
This was just a great video. Thanks you guys for sharing and plus you have given me some new ideas. 😎
I'm from the Midwest and had never heard of ADU's before. We have VBO's (vacation by rentals) rand Air B&B;s as well here in SW Michigan. Many communities here have actually outlawed them because the homes here are being bought up by corporations who rent them out during the summer seasonal months. And this sometimes means larger groups, lots of noise, vacation parties and fireworks in the middle of the night which disturbs the local residents. This has caused multiple issues in the neighborhoods as well as fewer homes available for families who need homes. Personally, I would much rather have tiny homes in our community with year-round residents who are invested in the neighborhoods. I love how you have created such a great a habitat in such a small space - just genius! I'm thrilled that Portland has accepted these tiny homes as my son live in Portland and someday when I age, and my retirement savings runs out, I might need to live in a tiny home on his property. I am thrilled!
Really cool tiny house and love the Murphy bed and floor storage!! Great use of space!
One of the best uses of space in a tiny home we’ve seen! 😊
Me encantó
That bed is cute the way you did it.thanks for sharing.i wish there was space around me for tiny house.i would like between Clayton and Henry
Absolutely beautiful build!
Great thinking all from useful spaces. Good 👍. Thank you A&C.
Most welcome ☺️😊✨
Beautifully done!
Beautiful tiny homes👍
Nice couple, beautiful history!
Great set up and thoughtful couples - thanks for sharing!
We so excited to share this wonderful mini community model! ❤️
This is so nice. I have 10 acres in Florida that I have an old mobile home I have been renting. I moved a nice 12 x 20 building out there for storage in 2020. I was planning to take a tour of the US, however, I believe I will postpone.
My tenants decided they do not want to share the property with me ( they have really junked up the place); so they are moving out. I have been lenient with them.
These designs are more efficient than trying to repair the mobile home.
Thank you for beautiful insights and inspiration. It has given me hope for my future 🙏 .
Best of everything in your future endeavors.
For a minute I was having the craziest thoughts about the umbrella in the bathroom. With it being silver, my mind jumped to the assumption that it was somehow functional for the bathroom, and I had thoughts of someone sitting on the toilet under the umbrella while someone else was showering. Ha, then I realized they just store the umbrella in there because it can drip dry there. :) Well, maybe my idea in a pinch!
😂 with our clever their tiny house is, we wouldn’t be surprised if it had a use either!
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) , I'm so educated now.
I enjoyed every minute of this video. This was the first vid I saw from this channel. About to watch more😀!
Love hearing that; thank you!!
mini urban hamlet! too cool! that closet is to die for. what an amazing space to share with friends and make money while you are doing it. Brilliant space!
Such an idyllic urban community in many ways ☺️💕
@@TinyHouseExpedition yes. community, not division. recent years have seen such divisiveness at the expense of community. the values that are at the foundation of their space are shared by most people on the planet. unfortunately, we don´t hear enough about them. thank-you for your channel for sharing. thank-you to the ADU couple (sorry. i don't remember their names right now.) for sharing the homes with us.
@@barbarajoyhuhtala3495 so happy to share ❤️
So wonderful 💓 I would like a tiny house community at some point....on great land with a beautiful view and amazing friends with similar beliefs, practices👍🏼
Sounds like a dream! Best wishes with your dreaming & planning 😊☺️
I wish our plot was enough for more gardening and a space for a friends tiny home! That’s so awesome you can live w friends!
Bathroom tile is beautiful. Wood stove is really pretty.
Love the entire conceptual scope of the property. I wish it was legal in more places!…if only it would be easier for people to live in all the empty spaces and allow people to profit too!
That really tiny house would be hard to live in for 4 years with two people. My husband and I live in a 320 garage apartment for 4 years and even that has been hard sometimes.
Great tiny homes, with some great ideas.
Intentional living...bravo..!!!!!
I think I have found the design for my Tiny Home. Our community says no bigger than 1000. I have 1.47 acres and can park in the tiny apple orchard and rent out my 1700, 4 bed, 2 bath house as a vacation ABNB on the island.
So wonderful 💖
Love the oven your ti y house is amazing
The ratchet straps are interesting. And Baltic birch plywood
Fantastic!
So clever, a little oasis indeed 💖💫🌈🌤
I’m so excited, my husband & I plan on building our own ‘tiny’ house and small barn on longtime family property in Alabama, sharing 100 acres. Beautiful property for us to retire with our couple horses, dogs & kitties 🌈🌤💫💖🐾
Starting 2023🙏👍
Sounds wonderful; best wishes with your next steps! And please reach down the road if you’re interested in collaborating on a video 😊 tinyhouseexpedition.com/get-featured/
Sweet!
