      The close up BROLL adds a cinematic, pro feel. Appreciated. I especially liked the 50mm floor level, bed leg landing into centre frame. It was art. The talking heads is also well lit, good sound, well framed. Keep it up. This is limitless with the attention to detail and your cinematography tricks. Looking forward to some vertigos in the next one. lol

      Nicholas Romano I agree with Nicholas, I lived in a home (back in the 70’s) with no bedrooms, no closets, and at the time we bought it, heat came from the kitchen stove/oven. At 360 sq ft.. and 2 adults and a cat, we managed to live there for seven years. The worst part was the lack of a closet to store snow boots and coats. If you are looking to buy a property in the colder parts of the country, you will be need it. Like the plan, could see us in it, if there were bookcases, and places for audio and visual equipment, along with cds, DVD’s, vinyl , laserdiscs, and reel-to-reel tapes. Laugh if you will, we still have a number of 8-track tapes. We’re donating much in advance of retirement, but typical tiny house has little or no storage for that type of things.

      @lon8486 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Osogoodgirl. Yes, exactly! I’ve also wondered the same thing over the years while watching TH videos. They can even add a small roof (something lightweight) over the porch in case of rain, and simply fold it over the porch when they pack up.

    • @zacdredge3859
      @zacdredge3859 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think a lot are hesitant because they don't want to compromise on the width. This build doesn't have that issue thanks to their - presumably expensive - popout system. You can still do it otherwise just need to think about how the structural support of the deck will work without pushing your walls in too much.

  • @writersmoodroom

    • @FlorianMorata
      @FlorianMorata 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      it seems that this tiny-house is designed mainly for RV parks (connected to utilities) and not boondocking, even if it has some capabilities.
      AC & washing machines are generally energy and water hogs to be conveniently run on solar & tanks

    Magnificent.
    For years I've railed against the narrowness of caravan or trailer living spaces and designed loads of sliding wall variations dreaming of the day I might actually build one. What a joy to see one in actuality working so beautifully as a proper home with hardly any comprises to space..

      Although the couple did not disclose the amount they spent on this unit, a perusal of the zerosquared.ca website led me to guess it was a 26’ Aurora model and ran around US$99,500, tho I was only guessing at the construction choices they made from the pics shown.

    • @jazherahmacmornna8670
      @jazherahmacmornna8670 4 ปีที่แล้ว +65

      2 things bother me about this: 1. The prices are getting way too far away from what the TH movement is supposed to be about in the first place: AFFORDABLE housing, 2. When folks rent theirs out on Air B’N’B, they tend to charge an awful lot; making it impossible for folks of modest means to try one out for a weekend to see how it suits them. This too is getting too far from the original intention of the movement.
      Why does the love of money have to ruin so many good things????!!!!!

    • @emsalsa9385
      @emsalsa9385 4 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      Jazherah MacMornna I agree that the quaint tiny homes have a charm but for many I think the point of the tiny home movement is to reduce their carbon footprint, stay mobile and reduce the cost of living. Ultimately in terms of today’s housing market, $100,000 for a home is a steal and if they’re living in it, it’s all of the above.
      Some people want to do all of those things but without giving up little luxuries. If that’s what they need in order to downsize, then it’s a good thing to go for it, right?! :) If this was their second home it might be different but considering this is their home, it’s good that they’ve made it comfortable for themselves!

    • @kiwigirljacks
      @kiwigirljacks 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Jazherah MacMornna perhaps. But not everybody wants a tiny home simply for affordability. Some want to be able to travel in it. Some just don’t want a lot of space etc. There’s not a right or wrong. The ‘movement’ side of it stays the same for those who have that motivation.

    • @Edhooey
      @Edhooey ปีที่แล้ว

      If I were building a tiny house with slides, I would just get a RV with massive water damage (they're everywhere) for next to nothing of free, strip the slide mechanisms from it, and scrap the rest. Once the slide mechanism is accounted for, the slides themselves are not complicated, and you could take the time and effort to engineer them properly (unlike how RV mfrs do it haha).

  • @justgivemethetruth

    It seems like rather than have that fixed wall in the middle of the tiny house, I wonder if something could be done with a sliding/folding accordion wall, where you might actually be able to make a bedroom or separated room or sorts, and then reconfigure or open it as door. I've see these in some other houses and though it was kind of of cool instead of having fixed walls.

      yep, even a garage door but with the top part still being opened up or made of plexiglass(?) to let light through (i don't know if that makes sense, lol). and, instead of it rolling down a frame that would just be in the way, it could unfold and somehow be secured to metal links(?) built into the floor.
