Thank you! He was 16 and was with me for all of them. I like to think he had a good life, but he for sure made mine better! I’m glad he had about a year in the tiny before we had to say goodbye. He seemed to really enjoy it!
I love everything about your home including where you decided to place the water supply for the cat and yourselves! Having the litter box in the closet where your clothes are located is perfect, you know why? Because it's your house and you should live in it how you choose, not how a bunch of judgemental people on the internet think you should, because of course everything in their houses are just perfect! Keep living your lives and I wish you guys nothing but the best!
I love your tiny house with the tongue-in-groove paneling, sage green wall, tea kettle, mugs on the Octopus cup holder, cat picture, and all the other details of your home. It looks cozy and homey, and your cat's scratching table, catwalk, and wide window ledge to perch on is great too. Thanks for sharing. Jenny
You are a lovely couple and your home reflects that. I see the Bag End touches: the light green/grey in the decor (even the plates), the beautiful wood stairs, ceiling, the green sink. It has very cozy and calm vibes. But I like how the Middle Earth inspiration is not overboard. The bathroom is very well done, very useful. The closet is spacious. I love how you have a little shed and trailer to store some stuff, it completes your set up nicely. And of course, because you met over a book club, you have a bookcase!! It is 3 levels deep but so many book lovers do that too, LOL!
Guys, flush toilets spray through the cracks even when you flush with the lid down. I would be worried about contaminating my drinking water tap and the cat's water.
One more thing, thanks so much for sharing about having ADHD during the ad for Better Help, Alexis. It really felt very connecting to hear you say this. I applaud you for your vulnerability, which will help others. 🌺🌺🌺
I greatly appreciate your support. 🥰 It is hard for me to be vulnerable but working on it especially when it comes to sharing about my ADHD experience with others. Getting to see vulnerability of ADHD creators after I was diagnosed was incredibly moving & encouraging 💗
I discovered I had ADHD while getting my Master's in Clinical Psychology...oh the irony! I was diagnosed by a colleage, our staff psychiatrist at a behavioral health clinic. He prescribed Adderall but I happened to get migraines the two times I tried it. Both times during my 4 PM client's session. I decided to try coffee and it really helped! Thank you for being real and helping reduce the stigma of mental health treatment!
Finally much more simple, affordable furnishing, appliances etc. for regular people like me , without extremely high end everything . VERY LOVELY AND COZY TINY HOME FOR A VERY WONDERFUL COUPLE ❤️👏👍🏻💯🥳
Love the simple but effective ergonomic desk solution 7:20 (I do something similar with a cake stand ; - ), the charming coffee/tea station with cute cat art, cookbooks, and octopus cup holder 10:04, and the pull-out pantry 11:35. 😻The textile closet door adds homeyness and beauty, and I always appreciate seeing a standard sized tub/shower (worth it!). Would love to see the black trailer conversion when done. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thumbs up! Honestly every video you do is a thumbs up. All are so well done. Anyway, I appreciate this feature and this couple's story. Thank you. Only change I would make is the grey on the home. It is out of place. I'd change it to match the green of the front door...More soothing and natural.
Totally agree about their videos being so well done. They're like short films/documentaries. This one *flew* by. Appreciate you, Alexis and Christian! : - )
Cute house, nice tour. I’d put the cat box in the bathroom and the drinking water in the closet for both smell and proximity. I have a cat and a really small house,could only fit his box in bathroom and it’s worked out well. What a pain about the land issues but I know you will achieve your goal.All the rules, rules, rules. Wish it was easier for you and everyone interested in tiny houses. Enjoyed your tour.
Thank you! A huge pet peeve of mine is stepping on litter out of the shower 😅 our vacuum lives in the closet so the loose litter is contained and easier to vacuum up right away! I also pull it out to clean so there’s no cross contamination with clothing or smell. We test our water regularly out of an abundance of caution. It’s all been working out for us! Thank you for the well wishes, hopefully we can settle onto our land in the near future!
I just love this tiny house it's beautiful. USA made ones are such high quality and don't lack character. Perfect. Such a lovely couple I wish them every happiness ❤
Another beautiful tiny home. You sacrifice space (from a 3 bedroom house) in exchange for luxury. And you don't spend every moment of your life cleaning. It looks amazing, inside and out. ❤❤❤
I agree! I came here to say just this! I have cats, and even if you clean the box daily, their poo still stinks! And, yes, I have a covered box, too! There is no way I would put the box under clean clothes, but that is just me. There was so much storage in the loft for it, or even under the stairs. Just my nosey opinion..😬 But, I definitely loved the house! 😄
Oh we tried under the stairs, our preferred box just barely didn’t fit! It’s actually perfect for us-right by the vacuum for easy cleaning of loose litter, whereas up in a loft would be less convenient to clean as frequently as I like to. I also realllly don’t want loose litter in our bed! I have a very sensitive nose and I was worried about litter smelling clothes, but they don’t, hooray! Thank y’all for your concern about my clothes though 😅
I would have mounted a mirror on the pocket door to the bathroom. No need to store it or have the hassle of propping it up on a step stool and when you have the door closed it helps to still make the house feel open, spacious, and bright.
We do have a handrail on the wall side which comes in handy. Our builder asked if we wanted to have one on the outside too but we opted not to, so you could definitely customize it to what you need!
For the outside attached storage you might (unless they're fancy) want to re-mount the hinges etc so screws are on the inside, protected from wayward screwdrivers. I lost stuff from doing it wrong.
very practical home. only problem I have is the drinking water right next to the toilet. Remember how the experts say, when you flush all the """ can reach as far as 7 feet away.
@@tessapackyoga9527 I noticed that your lid was down!! But I have noticed in squillions of YT vids that peeps leave the lid up (and no- it can't be blamed on men leaving seats up in most instances!) But then those peeps often like to talk about their aversion to germs. 🤷♀️
Nice tiny. I don’t like the shed roof I’d rather go with a rounded roof for more head space. There are nice Tinies now that have stand up lofts that are much better than crawling into bed and it makes it easier to walk around the bed and,make it. Tinies are progressing.
To each their own for sure! We love gable roofs but have seen so many shed roof tiny homes with more workable living space. 😄 It so satisfying to see tiny home design evolve!
Awesome Ad Alexis, I am currently using them through work but I may keep your code for when that runs dry. Awesome build! Thanks for the building video 🙂🥶🖤🔔👍🏻❤️
Thank you very much! 🥰 Happy to hear that you’ve been able to do therapy, and through your work. There is nothing like talking with an open, impartial 3rd party-really fantastic to be listened to so well.
Some of the rules/law associated with TH really need to be more progressive. Some of the roadblocks are such nonsense. The builder had to be from NM? Give me a break. I love their home! It's so cozy with the pine. I would live in this with my kitty in a heartbeat. I especially love that they have a full tub. The kitty highway is awesome! Maybe William will put his woodworking skills to more use and build a catio someday. 😸 I'm so sorry for the loss of their other kitty.
Luv your tiny house! Everything seems to have a place. Except your drinking water bottle. Notice the spout is about a few inches from the toilet seat? That can't be good because uopn flushing, bacteria particles get air bound and land on nearby surfaces ( look it up, it's a thing), and that includes all over that spout! Finding a new home for that whole drinking water situation is highly recommended.
As a cat owner I'd have to say I would actually put the cat box where that basket of towels is and move the basket of towels into the closet I don't know how many times I found that when I put the box in the closet that they took down some of the clothes to hide their box yes owning cats can be very interesting and some people may actually find it hilarious
We had the same idea, but the nice roomy litter box our kitties demand doesn’t fit in the towel space! We’ve been in it over a year now and it’s worked out great 😊
I just watched a video on not putting a mattress directly on the floor in a loft. They had the mattress setting on low risers to lift it a bit from setting directly on the floor. They said it gets too hot and moist and can create mold. 🤷♀️
Makes sense! Our loft floor is slatted, so there is a bit more ventilation. It’s about time for a new mattress anyway, so we’ll see how it looks soon! During the winter we do have to wipe down windowsills often, as there is moisture buildup that can lead to mold there for sure.
WOW, THAT IS TERRIBLY HIGH LOT RENT! I rent a 200 year old farm house with land. My electricity is included in rent and my rent is $350.00 a month! My home has full basement, 2 stories with total of 4 bedrooms.
you can get some small metal tins, and fill with herbs and spices, and put magnents on then put them on your fridge. more space in your little pull out. 😁
I could not have my litter box in a spot w my clothes. Ewww. There are dpots right beside there where it would have fit and could even have put a small board to block off that space, could even have vented it outside from there. Omg eww i cant stop thinking how did she agree to settle with that? No way!
I would purge a shelf of books, move my extra towel basket to that shelf, and move kitty's litter box to the area currently housing that basket. No one wants to walk around smelling like cat waste because the litter box is right under their clothes in the closet!
The roomy litterbox Sadie requires doesn’t fit in that spot, it was the first place we tried! Thankfully I’m very vigilant about cleaning the box after every use, and due to the curtain as opposed to a closed door the ventilation is great, so rest assured I don’t smell! 😅
As with all tiny houses, storage is an issue. You can only downsize so much. 8' x 24' is too small. They had to build a storge shed, storage areas on the house and a trailer for storage. 8' wide is the length of a sheet of plywood, so the footprint is 3 sheets of plywood wide. Go stand on 3 sheets of plywoods butted up against each other and then subtract wall thickness. You're down to 7.25 ft. width. So to get more living space you have to go taller. This doesn't look fun at all. Why not go 12 wide, you could have more area for storage inside. But most tiny houses still require more outdoor space and storage bldgs.
After 2 years living in it, I can say we’re very happy and comfortable! Having been in a 2000+ square foot home, we prefer this. Most houses have garages, attics, etc so I feel a small shed and trailer (that’s mainly used as a camper anyway) is comparable.
Nice home. You know you can actually make your loft with standing room so the ceiling is not Simon your face. You’ll have to have someone move it for you but at lest you would have to worry about getting a concussion when you tried to sit up Just a thought.
We didn’t want to compromise our bougie 5 gallon freshwater jugs, and it fits perfectly there! Having 10 gallons of fresh water has also come in handy in times of unfortunate outages. Luckily it’s a *tiny house*, so the bathroom is only a few steps from drinking glasses in the kitchen! 😉
Hi Alexis and Christian, Another wonderful tiny home video, with a couple who communicated really effectively about their tiny house story. Really lovely. Just want to mention one thing that would improve presentation. There seems to be a tendency in speaking to raise one's tone at the end of a sentence. I find it a bit annoying. Would be so much nicer if people could be made aware of this and try to refrain from doing it. Hope this is helpful, as that is the intention. 🌺🌺🌺 American Grace living in India
Surprisingly the bathroom is one of her favorite places, regardless of anything happening in there humans might find disgusting! We’re very mindful of any cross contamination and making sure it’s safe and clean. Sadie appreciates your concern though! 🐈
I agree, cat water next to the toilet just seems wrong. I get they say their mindful to have no cross contamination but come on let's be real, she can't possibly say for sure or him that when he zips up never not a drop has landed in that water!! And the the cat doesn't have a say the owners make that choice for them so I hope they at least tried other spots before they settled next to the toliet. And hey they drink water next to the toilet so 🤷
I can tell you’ve been thinking through all the possible scenarios and worrying quite a lot about our water choices! That seems like it must be quite stressful. Rest assured Sadie is a very happy and healthy 13 year old girl who makes her preferences known and is well taken care of!
I absolutely haaaaate stepping on litter out of the shower, just a huge pet peeve of mine! It’s nice and contained in the closet where the vacuum also lives, so it’s easy to remove instantly. There is no cross contamination between my clothes and the (covered) litterbox, which gets pulled out and cleaned multiple times per day so there is no smell! We test our water for safety and the teeny tiny spigot is cleaned regularly. I hope that quells all your concerns, and you can rest assured we are safe and in good health 😊
She has never had any interest in going outside in her 13 years of life! She’s a happy, healthy, spoiled and well-loved girl 😊 Our cat who passed away in July did enjoy the outdoors, so we’d take him out on a harness for safety.
Honestly? You need to know yourselves and each other, and what you actually want, before getting married. This poor couple has wasted how many hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few short years, because they "went from 0 to 60" in a short space of time like that??? I mean, really, people, don't do that. Even if two people do belong together (which is usually not the case to begin with), going that fast just means you're going to pay for it later.
I wish we had hundreds of thousands of dollars to waste, but that unfortunately has never been the case! 😆 Our spending has been muuuuuuuch less than that. I wouldn’t change a thing about our journey, it’s been wonderful, and we have so much more to experience together! 🥰
Don’t think that’s a rule. 😅 Christian & I loved quickly early on. Now 10 years later, are relationship is stronger than ever before, and that’s after living together for 7 & working together! 😜😊
Always nice to hear that a person I admire also has ADHD. : - ) It's one of life's mysteries/compensations that ADHD sucks so bad, yet people who have it are some of the best I know. Welcome to the tribe, Alexis! You rock! ❤❤

So sweet 💗 gotta love a cat-friendly tiny home (like yours!) 😻

Great suggestion! And so true about the beauty of their tiny house stairs 👌😸
I like to our Tiny house especially the extra storage areas you built.

Nice job maximizing space, even a catwalk, and space under the fridge to store steps; should probably have taken a chance on a skylight.
Needs lots trees,shrubs & flowers outside & plants in.

They had to build a storge shed, storage areas on the house and a trailer for storage. 8' wide is the length of a sheet of plywood, so the footprint is 3 sheets of plywood wide. Go stand on 3 sheets of plywoods butted up against each other and then subtract wall thickness. You're down to 7.25 ft. width. So to get more living space you have to go taller. This doesn't look fun at all. Why not go 12 wide, you could have more area for storage inside. But most tiny houses still require more outdoor space and storage bldgs.
After 2 years living in it, I can say we’re very happy and comfortable! Having been in a 2000+ square foot home, we prefer this. Most houses have garages, attics, etc so I feel a small shed and trailer (that’s mainly used as a camper anyway) is comparable.
Um, that octopus!
I wouldn't want my clothes right above a litter box!! I would feel like a walking litter box due to the smell that would get onto the clothes. 😝
You’re not alone, there are many strangers so thoughtfully concerned about my clothes! The short answer is: rest assured they don’t smell 😂
Nice home. You know you can actually make your loft with standing room so the ceiling is not Simon your face. You’ll have to have someone move it for you but at lest you would have to worry about getting a concussion when you tried to sit up Just a thought.
Yes I agree
Drinking water in the bathroom????
We didn’t want to compromise our bougie 5 gallon freshwater jugs, and it fits perfectly there! Having 10 gallons of fresh water has also come in handy in times of unfortunate outages. Luckily it’s a *tiny house*, so the bathroom is only a few steps from drinking glasses in the kitchen! 😉
Hi Alexis and Christian, Another wonderful tiny home video, with a couple who communicated really effectively about their tiny house story. Really lovely. Just want to mention one thing that would improve presentation. There seems to be a tendency in speaking to raise one's tone at the end of a sentence. I find it a bit annoying. Would be so much nicer if people could be made aware of this and try to refrain from doing it. Hope this is helpful, as that is the intention. 🌺🌺🌺 American Grace living in India
We appreciate your feedback. 😁 Though everyone has there own speaking style and sometimes nerves are a factor!
I need to move to the mountains in Colorado but I can’t find anyone. Help!
Are you looking for a tiny house hauler?
Um..MCT Wheat IS grain, what are you talking about with the goats!?
I like your choices.
Very nice🌞.

Very well done ! N being a desert rat . Lol (SW NM) definitely didn't go wrong trading Houston TX skies for what ya got. Jus sayn
I'm sorry but having your cat's water next to/under your toilet bowl is disgusting. Would you want to see that and drink from it?
Surprisingly the bathroom is one of her favorite places, regardless of anything happening in there humans might find disgusting! We’re very mindful of any cross contamination and making sure it’s safe and clean. Sadie appreciates your concern though! 🐈
I agree, cat water next to the toilet just seems wrong. I get they say their mindful to have no cross contamination but come on let's be real, she can't possibly say for sure or him that when he zips up never not a drop has landed in that water!! And the the cat doesn't have a say the owners make that choice for them so I hope they at least tried other spots before they settled next to the toliet. And hey they drink water next to the toilet so 🤷
I can tell you’ve been thinking through all the possible scenarios and worrying quite a lot about our water choices! That seems like it must be quite stressful. Rest assured Sadie is a very happy and healthy 13 year old girl who makes her preferences known and is well taken care of!
They store the drinking water by the toilet and the cat toilet with their clean clothes. Not the best solutions for sanitation and health.
I absolutely haaaaate stepping on litter out of the shower, just a huge pet peeve of mine! It’s nice and contained in the closet where the vacuum also lives, so it’s easy to remove instantly. There is no cross contamination between my clothes and the (covered) litterbox, which gets pulled out and cleaned multiple times per day so there is no smell! We test our water for safety and the teeny tiny spigot is cleaned regularly. I hope that quells all your concerns, and you can rest assured we are safe and in good health 😊
I hope that cat isnt trapped in that tiny house for its whole life! Set the kitty free!!
She has never had any interest in going outside in her 13 years of life! She’s a happy, healthy, spoiled and well-loved girl 😊 Our cat who passed away in July did enjoy the outdoors, so we’d take him out on a harness for safety.
Honestly? You need to know yourselves and each other, and what you actually want, before getting married. This poor couple has wasted how many hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few short years, because they "went from 0 to 60" in a short space of time like that??? I mean, really, people, don't do that. Even if two people do belong together (which is usually not the case to begin with), going that fast just means you're going to pay for it later.
I wish we had hundreds of thousands of dollars to waste, but that unfortunately has never been the case! 😆 Our spending has been muuuuuuuch less than that. I wouldn’t change a thing about our journey, it’s been wonderful, and we have so much more to experience together! 🥰
Don’t think that’s a rule. 😅 Christian & I loved quickly early on. Now 10 years later, are relationship is stronger than ever before, and that’s after living together for 7 & working together! 😜😊
Why do people always show their unhealthy 'food' in these video's?
I’m a dietitian 🤣
Always nice to hear that a person I admire also has ADHD. : - ) It's one of life's mysteries/compensations that ADHD sucks so bad, yet people who have it are some of the best I know. Welcome to the tribe, Alexis! You rock! ❤❤
Ahh I so appreciate the love! ❤️💕 The folks I seem the most drawn to also have ADHD 😄☺️
@@TinyHouseExpedition I can relate!😄❤
