These people have found contentment. It is truly amazing what Randy and Amanda have created and obviously very much needed. Continue to do what is in your heart Randy. Sending very best wishes from England.
LOL some people would complain about being hung with a new rope. If living in a little community doesn’t appeal to you, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! I will put my tiny home on property in the woods because it’s what makes me happy. But gazillions of people live in condos or apartments. I think it’s neat the way individual tastes and creativity is encouraged instead of everything being the same. Once again, if you LIKE everything being the same, find a situation that fits you. But don’t complain or criticize this model.
OMG…..what a heartfelt community….happy tears came to my eyes listening to how happy & grateful the Grove residents are. I just love the Grove…beautiful, colorful, quaint gardens..the cuteness is abundant. I really enjoy this video!!!!! Mmm..I think I’ll watch it again. Love you guys. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🏠🐶
This was an amazing video! To see the residents and hear how much they love their homes and the entire community was so heartwarming! I was pretty sure Randy was gonna tear up any minute and it would have been just fine. The feeling of accomplishment has to be overwhelming when you hear those folks praise their homes and community and the both of you! I can't wait to see the other streets in this area. It's going to be exciting! Have a wonderful week and God Bless you for all you do!!
@@Swim136 he said they were going to get topsoil. I guess the residents get to decide if they want low maintenance ground cover, grass, rocks, veg garden, etc.
well hey Chris. great comment and to my surprise we have the same name. Im also Chris Dunn. I live in North Central Florida originally from Waterbury, CT. Talk about coincidence.
@@timeforchange3786 - Yes, I'd rather have clover or other ground cover instead of grass. You don't have to maintain it, rarely needs to be cut, and can be walked on.
😮😊what a beautiful lay out for the Grove. I absolutely love it! Each home owner has plenty front yard space,yet close enough to help each other in time of need. Your houses on wheel has more front yard spaces than some of our regular housing neighborhoods here in NJ. This is what the affordable housing all about! We need more communities like this in America! Keep up the great work!
The Grove could really use a designated area for 2nd vehicle and visitor parking. The Grove is really taking shape, love all the colors and individual touches!
WOW! The Grove is looking awesome!! Randy and Amanda I've been watching this channel for several years and it is just amazing the growth and progress that I've seen happen. Randy and Amanda you definitely both have a "Hearts of Gold"!! I believe most business owners would have spun this in a way that was all about them profiting! You both have totally put the people first. You've changed SO many lives!! I really don't know how you shoulder all the responsibility that goes into running your operation but somehow you manage to. You give back even I do believe at times at your own expense. Anyone who cannot see that does not belong there!! It was so nice to see someone sing your praises because you both deserve that. I am very proud of both of you and I truly hope you are proud of yourselves!!! PS: I hope some of the homeowners are open for some house tours. I LOVE seeing the creativity people come up with!! Bless you both! I do believe God will continue to bless you because your hearts are in the right place!!
Way back when Randy announced to open up the Grove section of the community, that there would be a contest to show off the way that each home owner decorated or what they did to set-apart their home from another resident’s home. I cant’t wait for those videos!!! It won’t be too long for the majority of the units to be placed and to be occupied, whether it is by the full time resident or how a unit , that was purchased for an Air B&B rental, is set up & show-cased. The creativity and practical use of small spaces can be very interesting, informative, and innovative, for sure! Let the tours & voting, begin!
I so love the Grove. There’s a couple of us that walk our dogs at night and love seeing what everyone is doing with their homes. I’ve met so many of the Grove residents and they are all so nice. I really think happy people attract other happy people. I live at the Beach and feel the same way, I thank God every day for sending me here. My friends feel the same way. Thank you so much Randy and Amanda and everyone at ITH. God bless you.
I like some of the bright colors people picked for their homes. Makes them look fun and unique. (At least you won't pull into someone else's driveway accidently like if they were all painted the same color.🙂)
Randy, Amanda, I've been visiting the smallest and most picturesque towns in East Tennessee, but the beautiful relaxed and joyful atmosphere that exists in the ITH communities is very UNIQUE!! Thank you for the "Vital Environments" you manage to create!!❤❤❤
we went there earlier this year and stayed in the blue Airbnb on the beach. It was a great experience, we got to enjoy actually trying one out. I highly recommend it if you can do it.
The lady from Lexington, VA is quite talented! She could sell her painted rocks at craft shows. You all should have a resident craft fair! Randy, you are recreating the world that WE grew up with. Everybody looking out for everybody else. A sense of community and belonging. Something that has been lost in many other communities. Thank you. Hoping to join those happy people in another year. ❤
Hi Randy, just a thought - on the island in the pond you dug out you should plant a weeping willow tree. Once it grows up, I think it will look awesome!
I've been watching you over time. This video answered a nagging thought I had about environment and community. Beautiful. I agree with your decision to put a solid fence along the roadway ( near video end). This may increase a sense of safety for residents - it would for me. I LOVE the rock gardens and decks!!!! I'm going to look into the Grove.
Love it ! the Grove is a fabulous community! That tree of life giving that tiny home shade has the best spot 😊 once all the trees are all in gonna be like putting on lipstick that final touch. Lol so many like minded folks in this community. Friends helping each other. ❤❤❤❤ incredible fabulously done
The only thing missing is a big enough yard with grass for a dog you can let out during the day....and I wouldn't be happy looking out my kitchen window at the side of someones house
Just a thought I had about the crab apple trees. I think it's wonderful to put a tree on everyone's lot, but if everyone has the same kind of tree, you're going to be overwhelmed with just one type of fruit. Wouldn't it be great if instead, you could plant a few different kinds of fruit tree? (I'd vote for peach!! 😁) That way, come harvest time, folks could share and everyone would end up with a variety. Of course it may be too late to change that plan now. Anyway, like I said, just a thought. You guys are doing great though. Keep up the good work. I watch most all of your videos. Once I sell my current home and figure out a few logistics, I hope to become a future customer. 😊
Yes peach lemon apple pear a variety of fruit trees that can handle the weather imagine just walking by pick a fruit snack on it on the way to fish for dinner then head to community farden fir fresh veggies 😊❤
Everything looks really wonderful! What people need to realize is the people that live in a close community close to each other chose that. They could go up on the mountain and be more separate if they wanted to.
@@timeforchange3786yes. i was under the impression that a shed and porch/deck was included in the price of the 12’x20’ home/lot. I see no space for one, unless there is a separate area for all of the ones that opted for one.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️. I hope Randy and Amanda will watch reruns of this on the days when things look bleak. That or go take a walk in these beautiful communities you have created to soak up the love❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for sharing the latest and letting us meet your community. And what a community it is. The ladies are GREAT!!!! Such a positive attitude and beautiful thoughts that they shared with you and us. I love what they are doing with their homes and how their homes are an extension of them and their spirits. AWESOME
I have watched you forever Randy ❤. I have seen and felt your struggles through the years. Well, Randy this video made me cry. To see their darling homes 🏡 as you and Amanda stroll. Providing a community for them and seeing the birds flying🐦👏. You've really done something magical Randy. I call you Winnie the Pooh Bear in my head. Providing jobs and creating a community, it's just exquisite Randy!!!
Hi Randy & Amanda 🙋♀️ This is an awesome video, love it❤❤ Love to see how the residents are doing their yards, porches etc.❤😊 15:43 Enjoyed seeing the hummingbirds ❤❤ Beautiful community ❤❤😊
I just kinda sniffled my through this one. OMG y’all are seriously changing the world & making it possible for folks to be truly happy with what truly counts. Bless y’all!
Life has gotten so hard for folks just to survive now days, and being older and alone can be financially crippling. Yes these communities and houses are lower costing but they have given back people's pride and hope for a better future. Friends and family connections for those who were previously isolated and alone. It warms my heart to see how much joy the residents have now in their daily lives.
Well Done Randy & Amanda!!!! You two are changing the world one person at a time! I love turning on my computer and seeing/watching Y'All. You brighten my day and I really wish I was there . Im financially able, only problem is Im stuck in a "situation", I just need to be brave and make the move. Do you have a lot/place that I Can bring my horse with me, mayb if I was to lease an extra lot....maybe on the mountain?? Best wishes to You All~
Hawaii locals have a saying, “Lucky you live Hawaii” in a satirical tone. I am 3rd generation islander from Oahu, my family immigrated from the Azores in the late 1800s. It is difficult to have the dream of home ownership or even rental security back home. I could feel true happiness when I heard the gal say, “My sister wakes up every morning thankful for every screw in her ceiling”. Home security in community, now that’s paradise Randy. God bless your vision!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Just found your channel the other day and I’m so happy, I’m hooked lol 😂 I love the community and the lovely tiny homes 🏡 ❤I wish we had something like this in the UK 🇬🇧
God Bless each and every one at The Grove. Everyone is celebrating their individual tastes and there isn't any competition. Such a God send. Community is also a great medicine for positive mental health. I was just watching a report on the homeless situation in LA and how the counsel of leaders was saying tiny homes are not a solution to the homeless condition. OH, my word...How is that so? Look at the example The Grove is showing. How affordable housing can give each person a sense of pride, self-worth, and community with people in similar situations. There is harmony, a clean environment, and support. Give them a home and they will ban together and make it beautiful. And the naysayers are only alienating themselves. People are fed up with negativity. We should all pray in unison that the powers in lawmaking can't rid the world of this beautiful solution. Praying that Randy's and ITH's dream will become the dream of the whole affordable housing epidemic.
Get them on our property in Corvallis Oregon, so elegant, loved seeing the birds checking out the new homes, in a few years it's going to be so lovely and welcoming
See Randy…..we told you everyone who counts appreciates you. This was a great video and it was a shot of positivity brought to us by your happy homeowners!
Great job on all of the decorating! Every once in a while I cry because I want to be there so bad. Hubby just keeps telling me that we will, and I say as long as Randy doesn't run out of room. Love you guys! The crazy pillow lady.😊
😇 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙌 🫶 🙌 🙏 🙏 🙏 😇 Oh my goodness, thank you so much for creating this heartfelt ♥️ community where we can make friends and help & support each other in our lives everyday! With tears of gratitude, Thank you ITH!
One of the best videos I have seen in some time. It looks like the residents are coming together to form a real community. BTW, that bird appears to be a great white egret. I could not see its legs, but if they were black, then it is a great white egret.
Wow and Wow, what a lovely loving video. Just hearing what so many people on Olive Tree Way had to say about how they love their community. The last lady had me crying with joy and such hope for those people who are starting over in a new place. It is nice that they are working on their own places, but will help others. I love a neighborhood where you meet up to talk in the street or in mine on the sidewalk. I can see these people having bar-b-ques or pot lock. Randy, You are responsible for this. Much love to the whole business, men and women building, people in the sales office, doing all the booking, it takes a village and you have created one.
All these residents are displaying the sentiments that you hoped for in the Grove! They love 💕 where they are, their neighbors, and the community spirit that is everywhere! Your giving praise to Randy and Amanda was so helpful to their psyche and totally reduces the small number of critics. ✅
That chicken wire set up for that porch is great for her dog. Good idea to enclose a porch with the illusion of it still being open. The dog is outside but not out loose. That's good for both the dog and the neighbors.
I love it! So cozy and honestly when it is just you it is the absolute perfect size! I love all of the house colors so much that it would be hard to decide which one to do.That little puppy is so cute. I love the river rock flower bed. I would walk around to get ideas and steal my favorite ones.
These are such adorable little homes I love how everyone is putting such a beautiful personal touch. The burgundy home is wonderful! She has made it so beautiful. I hope people will let us see the inside of their places so we can get a good idea how to use the inside space to the fullest. I have a feeling some of the insides are just as wonderful as the porches : ) I love to see how The Grove is coming to life and what everyone is doing to their little places!
Well girl from Hawaii, happy everyday is important and you can always save to visit Hawaii. Love ❤️ your stone work and everyone else who is working so hard.
I discovered bush cnerries and I think a few people might like them in their landscape. They dont grow beyond a tall bush and have beautiful blossoms in spring and delicious tart cherries a couple of months later. Edible landscaping for sure.
I just love these walk-throughs The Grove ( and all the other neighborhoods)… my Son and I are planning to come up from Florida to visit in the early fall.. I just need to walk through the models and see it ‘in real time’… have a beautiful day🌹🌹🌹
If the trees are a big species they will warp the lots and overwhelm the houses,try something like crepe myrtels or Red bud trees ,they will look much better in the long run.
I would love to see some of the insides of these 12 by 20 houses once they're all decorated and lived in on the inside. So please find out if there are any residents that are interested in sharing their space. And I definitely hope that there will be another run of that size in the next year or so. I definitely wanted to move there, but wasn't quite ready at the time, and I need a little bit more land than what the Grove offered. I would prefer something similar to the forest or Prairie, or even up on one of the Mountain or Buffalo Creek properties. I prefer Tiny Town area better, because I would like to be able to visit with a walk instead of a drive, but I know that those properties are currently filled out with other residents.
What a wonderful tour of one street in The Grove! Everyone is sooooooo happy livin' the good life. Love what they're all doing to decorate their homes and yards.
Hey Randy and Amanda I loved this video! Randy do you see how your vision is coming to fruition, by this time next year no one will believe that's the Grove! I love how each home owner is really personalizing their space and they're happy! Randy I know you were overjoyed in your spirit to hear such positive accolades 🤣🙌 This is your testimony "see what God has done"! Blessings 🙏😊
❤ I just LOVE the vibe at the Grove! I teared up hearing how happy the people are there. I would be there in a minute if I had the means and my family moved with me. ❤
Wonderful video of Community living with heart felt feeling of happiness. Looks awesome. Love it Randy, you had a Dream!!! Looks like that dream is coming true in spades. Thank you too Amanda.💕💕 From OZ.🤗
I have those birds walking around my property in pairs (Florida). I call them toddlers they’re so big. I believe they’re some kind of Heron. The Grove is adorable, and the residents so friendly and caring.
@@SharonUK Sandhill cranes reside in Florida and are easily identifiable because of their red heads, do your "big birds" have red heads and grey bodies? If not, they are probably egrets.
@@SharonUK I live in Vero Beach. Moved here from NY 4.5 years ago. Did you buy a house ? I’m praying to buy an 8x10 I-box. My house here is loaded with mold behind the walls, ceilings, etc… I have to get out of it.
Nice neighborhood! Coming along. Suggestion: give people Amanda's microphone so we can hear them talk about their experience there. I could only hear Amanda
I just love the Beach and the Grove. This is sooooo encouraging! Question: The Incred-I-boxes that are lined up on the main road are those lots? ❤❤❤It’s all love! I see how come those home owners are happy-they have a huge burden lifted. Giving makes me happy. Amanda are y’all hiring? I am trying to get there!
The 8x20 Incrediboxes lined up there are the finished Black Friday Sale homes, waiting to be picked up or delivered to their homeowners. They are all sold, not on lots, and most are going elsewhere. ITH is growing, always looking for hard working, positive, team players, and never seem to have enough painters (if you don't mind being cross trained, they love employees who can do more than 1 thing, and are willing to be trained in the ITH way).
These people have found contentment. It is truly amazing what Randy and Amanda have created and obviously very much needed. Continue to do what is in your heart Randy. Sending very best wishes from England.
I'm looking for contentment!!!
Yeah me too!!!!
@@Bridget82267 I hope you both find it. It is worth more than any monetary value. Sending you both love x
It's stork
LOL some people would complain about being hung with a new rope. If living in a little community doesn’t appeal to you, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! I will put my tiny home on property in the woods because it’s what makes me happy. But gazillions of people live in condos or apartments. I think it’s neat the way individual tastes and creativity is encouraged instead of everything being the same. Once again, if you LIKE everything being the same, find a situation that fits you. But don’t complain or criticize this model.
well said!
Amen!
OMG…..what a heartfelt community….happy tears came to my eyes listening to how happy & grateful the Grove residents are.

Ya'll should do a Halloween decoration and Christmas decoration contest in the grove. Winner get's a free panel or something for their yard, lol
I was thinking that too. A fall and holiday home tour like they do in wealthy neighborhoods.
Great idea!
Randy and Amanda...please make bumper stickers available. People who love you, like us, will proudly display them on their cars!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for creating this heartfelt ♥️ community where we can make friends and help & support each other in our lives everyday!
With tears of gratitude,
Thank you ITH!
How nice this all looks and how well this is coming together….can’t wait to see an inside tour for ideas….you guys are doing great things….God bless.
If y’all plant trees in FRONT of the homes in the Grove, how will the homes be moved out in future. Life happens!
Who else is locked in as soon as the notification comes out? 😅❤
Raise ✋
your community is filling up with some creative folks! The little houses are being decorated so beautifully .
That fenced in porch is perfect! Your dog can't go leave the porch yet he gets to go out!
One of the best videos I have seen in some time. It looks like the residents are coming together to form a real community. BTW, that bird appears to be a great white egret. I could not see its legs, but if they were black, then it is a great white egret.
Absolutely love that the ladies have brought over fish, from the river to the pond. That fisher bird appreciates them, too❣️
Wow and Wow, what a lovely loving video. Just hearing what so many people on Olive Tree Way had to say about how they love their community. The last lady had me crying with joy and such hope for those people who are starting over in a new place. It is nice that they are working on their own places, but will help others. I love a neighborhood where you meet up to talk in the street or in mine on the sidewalk. I can see these people having bar-b-ques or pot lock. Randy, You are responsible for this. Much love to the whole business, men and women building, people in the sales office, doing all the booking, it takes a village and you have created one.
Love the home with white screened in porch super cute ❤
All these residents are displaying the sentiments that you hoped for in the Grove! They love 💕 where they are, their neighbors, and the community spirit that is everywhere! Your giving praise to Randy and Amanda was so helpful to their psyche and totally reduces the small number of critics. ✅
What a beautiful little Community makes my ❤ happy to see these people so happy about their homes!
That chicken wire set up for that porch is great for her dog. Good idea to enclose a porch with the illusion of it still being open. The dog is outside but not out loose. That's good for both the dog and the neighbors.
Yes, I thought that looked great!
what a dream come true for Randy and Amanda, God Bless Them!
What absolutely lovely people. So glad for them all to have found community, friendship and peace of mind. It’s wonderful x
It takes time to build anything and much longer to create something. You are building tiny houses and creating community. Well done. God bless.
You guys be safe and careful.😊👍🙏 God bless.
So amazing every time I watch it get better and better…
Oh my crab apple tree are gorgeous trees and grow fast and full. I had one in my yard in Georgia.blooms in spring in white and pink.
Great Egret!! Nice 😃
I love it! So cozy and honestly when it is just you it is the absolute perfect size! I love all of the house colors so much that it would be hard to decide which one to do.That little puppy is so cute. I love the river rock flower bed. I would walk around to get ideas and steal my favorite ones.
Snowy white egret
Thanks !
Yep, I’m in Florida…. They are everywhere.
Thnx for Great video.....great idea to see and hear actual residents....I,ll be there soon-ish😊❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ how the residents have embraced Randy’s concept and blossomed🌸🌺🌼🌷. Beautiful!
You know what would be nice for those folks, if that big long building across the street had a mountain Muriel on it!
These are such adorable little homes I love how everyone is putting such a beautiful personal touch. The burgundy home is wonderful! She has made it so beautiful. I hope people will let us see the inside of their places so we can get a good idea how to use the inside space to the fullest. I have a feeling some of the insides are just as wonderful as the porches : ) I love to see how The Grove is coming to life and what everyone is doing to their little places!
This is a very nice community. Love the tiny homes. I love how they are great neighbors to each other. Thank you for showing these homes.
Well girl from Hawaii, happy everyday is important and you can always save to visit Hawaii. Love ❤️ your stone work and everyone else who is working so hard.
This is an awesome planned community, and it is so great that y'all did it!!!😊🎉❤
Awwww i want to live there soooooo much! Love this video Randy and Amanda! ❤
I discovered bush cnerries and I think a few people might like them in their landscape. They dont grow beyond a tall bush and have beautiful blossoms in spring and delicious tart cherries a couple of months later. Edible landscaping for sure.
You guys should be so proud of what you are accomplishing in the Grove community. Everyone seems so happy there!
I just love these walk-throughs The Grove ( and all the other neighborhoods)… my Son and I are planning to come up from Florida to visit in the early fall.. I just need to walk through the models and see it ‘in real time’… have a beautiful day🌹🌹🌹
If the trees are a big species they will warp the lots and overwhelm the houses,try something like crepe myrtels or Red bud trees ,they will look much better in the long run.
I would love to see some of the insides of these 12 by 20 houses once they're all decorated and lived in on the inside. So please find out if there are any residents that are interested in sharing their space. And I definitely hope that there will be another run of that size in the next year or so. I definitely wanted to move there, but wasn't quite ready at the time, and I need a little bit more land than what the Grove offered. I would prefer something similar to the forest or Prairie, or even up on one of the Mountain or Buffalo Creek properties. I prefer Tiny Town area better, because I would like to be able to visit with a walk instead of a drive, but I know that those properties are currently filled out with other residents.
What a wonderful tour of one street in The Grove! Everyone is sooooooo happy livin' the good life. Love what they're all doing to decorate their homes and yards.
Hey Randy and Amanda I loved this video! Randy do you see how your vision is coming to fruition, by this time next year no one will believe that's the Grove! I love how each home owner is really personalizing their space and they're happy! Randy I know you were overjoyed in your spirit to hear such positive accolades 🤣🙌 This is your testimony "see what God has done"! Blessings 🙏😊
I think the Grove is beautiful!! What a blessing that Randy created these communities! So many happy people…can’t wait til we are there!!!
❤ I just LOVE the vibe at the Grove! I teared up hearing how happy the people are there. I would be there in a minute if I had the means and my family moved with me. ❤
❤ ❤ so precious ❤❤
Greetings from Canada. Thanks for the tour.
The thumbnail tricked me, thought it was a tiny house train lol .....
I almost cried when the lady from Hawaii was talking. I want to move there so bad.
Did you hear that Maui is on FIRE? I used to live there. It's very disheartening to watch.
Beautiful!… this is like the Villages in Florida but Tennessee style… can’t wait to visit and shop for a home!
Wonderful video of Community living with heart felt feeling of happiness. Looks awesome. Love it Randy, you had a Dream!!! Looks like that dream is coming true in spades. Thank you too Amanda.💕💕 From OZ.🤗
I have those birds walking around my property in pairs (Florida). I call them toddlers they’re so big. I believe they’re some kind of Heron.
The Grove is adorable, and the residents so friendly and caring.
They sure are toddler size. I’m in Florida too and my husband loves capturing photos and video of them. Very beautiful birds.
I'm pretty sure it's an egret.
@@AZHITW you are right. It's an egret.
@@SharonUK Sandhill cranes reside in Florida and are easily identifiable because of their red heads, do your "big birds" have red heads and grey bodies? If not, they are probably egrets.
@@SharonUK I live in Vero Beach. Moved here from NY 4.5 years ago. Did you buy a house ? I’m praying to buy an 8x10 I-box. My house here is loaded with mold behind the walls, ceilings, etc… I have to get out of it.
Flowering trees like peach...pear....plum...cherry....almond....would be beautiful trees with different colors of 🌸 blossoms
Nice neighborhood! Coming along. Suggestion: give people Amanda's microphone so we can hear them talk about their experience there. I could only hear Amanda
What a amazing video and people brought tears to my eyes. This is my dream. ❤
What a great video!! God bless you Randy and Amanda, you are Truly living your dream!! Continued success!!
The Grove is looking amazing. It is nice to see how people are decorating the houses and the property.
I just love the Beach and the Grove. This is sooooo encouraging!
Question: The Incred-I-boxes that are lined up on the main road are those lots?
❤❤❤It’s all love! I see how come those home owners are happy-they have a huge burden lifted. Giving makes me happy.
Amanda are y’all hiring?
I am trying to get there!
The 8x20 Incrediboxes lined up there are the finished Black Friday Sale homes, waiting to be picked up or delivered to their homeowners. They are all sold, not on lots, and most are going elsewhere. ITH is growing, always looking for hard working, positive, team players, and never seem to have enough painters (if you don't mind being cross trained, they love employees who can do more than 1 thing, and are willing to be trained in the ITH way).
