2:27 Cats like, "I didn't agree to this interview, put me back up in my loft bed servant."
The fact that this young man uses the word “cute” several times makes me smile for some reason. They are an adorable couple and they did a great job on their home.
Cute👀
@@glennblake3753 🙂
He seems very kind and gentle. Sometimes that not always a great thing though.
@@squatchchop4222 Depends on the environment you live in. In a safe environment it’s okay to be gentle. In the inner city maybe not.
@@brandong298 I think that's why he said "sometimes"
BEAUTIFUL home, but what impressed me the most are the two lovely, warm & talented owners. Loved their smiles! Wishing them much health & safe travels ❤️
True all. What shocked me most was this young man had a heart attack! Good thing those bikes are electric!
I soo agree! Definitely a cute couple! That’s so nice to see!!
@@kwhatten my ex fiance had a heart attack at 30yr old.he lived another 30 yrs
@@kwhatten heart attacks can happen at any age. i had a friend who died in a freak accident and he was aged 72. his only child was 25 when he had a fatal heart attack. and he was very healthy and an avid off road pedal biker. there is no rhyme or reason for his passing. he was with bike pedaling friends who were trained and certified in cpr and they administered cpr the minute he collapsed. a second life was not in his future.
i also had a coworker who was going to a christmas gathering with her new husband and an aneurysm in her brain popped and died at the front door of her neighbors. it does not seem fair but things happen beyond our wishes and our control.
i wish the gentleman well. his creator was not ready to take his life the heart attack was not life on earth ending and he looks healthy enough and he does not look like he had broken ribs from cpr he was very lucky. i hope he remembered to thank his god.
my wife went to heaven on 9-11-2019 at 8:10 am eastern daylight saving time. she was only 64 years young and just started retirement. she was on an end of life on earth journey. medical staff got her heart restarted but when she had the second heart attack hit. the medical staff let her transition from earth to heaven. had she survived the second heart attack they would have had to amputate her right leg because a black widower spider bite went sepsis or infected with flesh eating bacteria. in my opinion it would have been hell on earth. god showed mercy and took her home to join god in heaven. i don't like it and i trust god more than i trust me and the bible says god will not give you more than you can handle. it is like it has been said if it does not kill you it makes you stronger. i changed my living will to do resuscitate. if god calls my life from earth i just want to go follow god. and i pray god calls me while in my sleep. good night.
heaven
I’m a 68 yr old grandma and this build really speaks to me.
It’s beautiful and unique.
The fact that they included space for their feline companion says a lot about them as people.
Well done!
We should really be considering making "homes" like this for seniors or the homeless. When you think about where you spend most of your time in your current home, it's usually just a small area and the rest just uses up heat and lighting resources. With multipurpose areas, you can have just about what you had before only in a much smaller, and vastly less expensive space. I like the lift at the back which would be good for people with mobiiity problems.
@@amywalker7515 don’t worry Amy Bidum is Eagerly waiting to step on your dreams and anything else you can think of that is what you call “ inexpensive“in his economy a cardboard box will be luxury
@@amywalker7515 you are absolutely right cause I’m disabled and I spent all of my time in my bedroom all of the downstairs is a waste of space we’ll my 2 cats wouldn’t agree with me 😂😂😂
Simply beautiful. They have everything they need right there.
I’ve had big homes and smaller homes. The more space you have, the more stuff you acquire……most of it is unnecessary.
I like this small house idea. Bravo!
What an incredible build! In the endless rabbit hole of TH-cam videos of van/rv/trailer builds I've watched, this is probably the nicest and most well thought-out. Great job Sawyer and Courtney!
Ha ha ha, I know that dang rabbit hole all to well 🤣
Me too!!!
Same here. I'm working on a small cabin and often look here for ideas on small space design. They used so many nooks and crannies it looked spacious.
Right!
I love the breakfast bar. Not only a great place for breakfast but to work at too.
The business I work for sells and services box trucks just like this. This is a really cool idea and makes me want to build one out.
Do it!
Where are you located I’d love to buy one myself on a budget like theirs of course! Thank you, I’m serious 🧐 let me know okay? ☺️
@@denisekenney6436 Truck N Trailer in OKC, OK. We typically don’t have any that old in our inventory. All of our inventory is on our website. We ship anywhere but customer pays for shipping.
How dependable are those diesel box trucks I believe Isuzu makes them I thought a lot about doing the same.
@@billwaller4094 I am the CFO here and not a mechanic, so please keep that in mind. However, my understanding is that the 2007 and older Isuzu diesels were pretty solid units. The diesel emissions changes in 2008 on made those units much less reliable. Same with the Mitsubishi Fuso units. Most all of the later model Isuzu NPR's and Mitsubishi Fusos that we sell have the GM 6.0 gas V8 with Allison 6 speed auto transmissions. Much more reliable and can be serviced anywhere. Just protect your catalytic converters on those as thieves like to steal them and they are expensive to replace.
The cats face when the bed was going up ! 😂 so cute !
Yea was funny it didn't scram
Haha 😹
It made me nervous
Very nice!!!!
Running a 5k and had a heart attack???? 😱 Omg really skipped over that, so scary!!! House is lovely ☺️
Yes! Shocked me too, because its yet another young healthy person who "died for 15 minutes" ?!? from a heart attack! Nothing to see here folks. Geez.
Hope he didn't get vaxxed!!
Nattokinase, the anti dope for the vax. Hope he learns about it.
Courtney, Thank you for standing by Sawyer after his medical emergency. You’re younger than I am but now I consider you a hero. May you both have a beautiful life together. ❤
Wow, I literally felt like I stepped back in time to 1977 when I saw these two. They look so much like my friend's parents at that time, the hair and clothing too. Great memories. Good luck kids!
They sure do!!
Stop da cap
So glad you survived your heart attack and used it as motivation.
You two did an AMAZING job on this build. I'm very impressed and I've seen hundreds of builds.
My heart attack at age 47 this year was the final push I needed to go nomadic as well.
Maybe we will meet up on the road someday.
Take care you guys
I usually like the Tiny Home/RV etc interiors. But something about this one, it really appeals to me; maybe it's the colours, and maybe the amount of wood. Gorgeous.
When I see what Sawyer & Courtney have done on a budget it is both incredible and inspirational. This is what so great about this channel is that we get to see how people can create homes using sustainable methods - the innovations and tweaks are brilliant and should all be in the Tiny House Giant Journey book :-). Something else that I might add - how life affirming you two are and that gives one hope for the future - we need many more of you Sawyer & Coutney. Thanks again THGJ!
Yeah when Trump was in office two dollar a gallon Diesel Fuel was awesome now under this criminal five and six dollar a gallon diesel fuel right now and their truck only gets around 10 miles a gallon you can see how expensive that would be for them to go anywhere not to mention they live in California and the communist out there have banned all combustion engines new ones that is by 2030, And the funny thing about it is they cut off power consumption to peoples air conditioners remotely the other day in this extreme heat wave just think about what they will do to electric cars if they think you are driving too much
I hope your heart has healed completely!🙏
I so appreciate their skills and thoughtfulness, as well as their patience. They definitely don't adhere to the instant gratification mindset of many young people today.
one of the most beautiful and smartly designed tiny home for sure... feels spacious... few things i love about your home are... 1st - i love those wooden stars in bathroom... that was cool... those high windows and breakfast table... and your bed... ❤️
One bad thing about my box truck is if anything is on the rear end of the truck and you hit a unexpected pothole things on the back go flying but if you have things secure I would imagine it would be OK another thing I noticed is if they took that lift off the rear end they probably could save on fuel economy because that list weighs every bit of at least 1000 pounds
In all the years of following tiny homes, this is by far my favorite box truck space! This is gorgeous!
This is one of the best looking tiny homes I’ve ever seen! The perfect blend of wood and textures and colors are used. Every single detail has been well thought out. The heart attack at 25 years old was certainly a scary catalyst to begin tiny living. They are a cute couple (a word he uses a few times in the vid!) with a cute house that meets their needs when it comes to traveling and living tiny!
What a cute couple! I'm so glad the wonderful firemen saved his very young life. Very cool build, love the storage and the mural is beautiful!!!
Ah I thought the kitty was going to be smushed 😝 this is a really cool one! Thanks for the video! Thanks Sawyer and Courtney for opening up your tiny home for us! 🤩
@@tetedur377 😆 right? Just a little nervous but she’s probably used to it 😁
Era mejor que ese sofá lo hubieran convertido también en cama, se pudiera instalar solo por las noches, tenía miedito de que aplastarán al gato 😱🐈, o uno se pudiera safar uno de los tubos de la cama se caiga por el peso, alguien termine aplastado.
Yeeees thought the same haha
This one is cute
Best thing is the truck it self. A well-known dependable Japanese truck, Isuzu.
Nice couple, beautiful cat and cozy tiny home.
Love the layout, box trucks make cute tiny homes. Down the road , this would make a cute guest house parked on a few acres.
I am so proud of young people taking control of how they live their lives. Forty, fifty years of a nine to five is a waste of life.
I really enjoyed this video! Clever kids who figured out what was important to them, and then found a way to make it happen! But, for me, the best part was their super chill kitty cat! I just loved how mellow she is!
I love the living room space which looks like a real living room. That’s my peeve about a lot of tiny houses that have huge kitchens and no place to lounge comfortably apart from the kitchen space. I love what you’ve done. Way better than an RV.
EXACTLY!!! It took me 8 months to find a camper with a REAL living room & a house shower!
Well done. I really like the drill motor taking the bed up/down and the kitty home!
Yes I wish I would have come up with something like that
“Across the hall”. How adorable, she’s pretending it has a hallway! The cat cage is BRILLIANT!!! I always worry about traveling cats.
It amazes me how clever and creative young people can be. This is a well thought out design!
What a great couple! Such sweet personalities! You made a really nice home out of a box truck. I like how homey it feels inside.
Love this idea, and the precious cargo it holds now! Great job! Glad the firemen were close by! As a Respiratory Therapist, electrical problems with the heart are very fixable as long as someone who can do CPR is close by for the initial "announcement "! And doing running events is one of the most common times it happens! God bless!
You think this is normal, for all these young people to be having heart attacks since 2021 ?
@@CanuckbelgoThis guy had a heart attack and had run a marathon. Many genetic defects manifest after exertion which points to this man's possible condition, and yes, it happens a lot. It's just people that don't work in Cardiopulmonary are unaware of this. If people with genetic conditions didn't breed, these conditions would be bred out, but humans don't do that. We are not cattle. We, hopefully, marry for love and have children knowing the risk of passing down certain conditions, ie, diabetes, cancer, heart anomalies, autoimmune disease, etc. Add that to some people who don't take care of themselves and smoke, drink excessively, have poor diets filled with GMO's, pesticides, glyphosate, etc., were jabbed as well, and you have a perfect storm on your hands.
That being said, any way it occurs its a tragedy. Glad this was a witnessed cardiac event! Everyone should learn CPR. It could be your family member at the picnic or sporting event.
Edit: These things happened with great frequency before 2021, as well did people die by the tens and hundreds of thousands every year from the flu and colds, but going unreported by the media, everyone thinks the C word is special. No, it isn't, but the fear mongering is! They want you afraid and it worked! The J ab has increased the amount of heart attacks among the younger set because of clot issues it causes, which is not being paraded in the media.
@@kimdawcatgirl suuuure that's the ticket....only how do you explain the extreme, unprecedented excess mortality of young adults 18-44 yrs of age which "mysteriously" only cropped up as of the beginning of 2021...which also corresponds to the experimental "vaccine" roll-out ?
@@kimdawcatgirl um and no, this should only happen extremely rarely in this age group but hey, go get your booster and wear that mask hun.
@@kimdawcatgirl It has been paraded a bit. Heart attack can be caused by hidden genetical issues and young people are rarely screened in depth before engaging into hard sport.
Since 2020 It seems that there was an increase in Heart tissue inflammation which Is not exactly a Heart Attack. Both the C and the J and the P and the M cause inflammation that can take the heart district but not only that and It can last for months at a low grade. Since Many people got the C before and after the shots, it's not easy to tell what did the harm and if they added to each other.
Very sweet couple. I love how they waited to get the materials they wanted and are very clever in their usage. Really sweet, tiny house.
It's cozy and neat,thanks for inviting us in your tiny house.
The cat has her own room love it. Love this couple and their home! Creative.
I would spend life in a box truck forever with her too. 😍🥰
This is art. Just too cute and creative. Repurposed items with meaning. Made with love
The bi-fold bathroom door is genius. I seriously want one of those for my house. I have a closet that that would be perfect for. Overall, I'm very impressed with the whole build.
Some late friends of mine had a folding door to the bathroom. It was far more efficient than a standard door.
What's not to like with this? Lovely talented couple, great job! 👍 ♥️
$12-14k to have a fully paid for home to travel in is incredibly appealing to me. I would love to live this lifestyle for a few years.
What a charming couple. So in sync. I love every aspect of this house truck design - it's beautiful craftsmanship overall, has privacy with the windows so high up, has cunning features, and is so cozy-comfy. I could live in a home like this long term. Even if driving the truck would scare me.
This is awesome, I love how creative they've been with storage and their lounge actually looks very comfortable. It looks so spacious but is cosy and homely at the same time, thanks for sharing 😊
Lovely
Homey. Homely would mean ugly.
@@lemurianchick not to me, that's the word most people in my country use 🤷♀️
@@mezzamuddle Homely means plain. How would you know what most of your countrymen say?
This design is really amazing. You’ve basically turned a box into a quaint, charming, cozy home. I love it!
I traveled through Mexico and part of Oregon with these three. They are wonderful friends and people. I am so stoked they got to be featured on this channel.
-Thom
You are a beautiful couple,enjoy your journey! ❤️🌺
Sawyer and Courtney are adorable! What a wonderful build with so many unique and thoughtful features! Love it!!
One of the things I enjoy most about watching videos like these, where young couples work so hard together building a tiny dream home and then living in one, is the loving collaborative effort between them. It is so endearing! It has to be one of the most beautiful expressions of love between two people when they come together to combine their ideas, talents, and efforts towards a single goal and then to reap the rewards it brings. A project like this requires a certain type. The fact that these certain types find one another and accomplish it is just wonderful!
Love this young couple and the beautiful home they created! Wishing them good health and happiness in their travels!
it's bigger on the inside! you've successfully created a tardis, brilliant job guys!
It's all very well thought out. Love all the tiny nooks & storage drawers. The cat cage is amazing & necessary because they just can slip outside unnoticed. Your cat seems extremely laid back, mine would insist on going outside constantly. Happy & safe travels guys 🤗❤️🐈
What a sweet couple & how marvelously talented. I especially love the way they have the bed moving up to give them a living room space. ♥️🐈🌹
A very cute couple (and a cat, of course).
To the young couple Sawyer and Courtney ; Irish Bob says hello.
You're both to be commended for finding out some of Life's true treasures at such a young age.
So many do not, and spend their lives standing still, and stagnant.
Be proud of your build as: it serves you well with the comforts of home.
Bruce Lee during his life had commented "Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not".
You are both on a wondrous journey in this life. Well grounded and level headed.
Such lessons learned now; shall serve you well down the road.
Eventually you may wish to settle in a special place. And then you might want to expand on self sufficiency.
Until then, Irish Bob wishes you well and hopes your continued journey is happy, and safe
Stay🏋️Stay🩺Stay True, and Stay Real.Nice home you have made for yourselves, and your cat.😇🤗😎🍀
I really like that they put their skills and creativity into the whole build. Sometimes when you have the money to buy all new you lose the owners identity. Good job.
I like the layout too.
Wow what a amazing small cute idealistic tiny house Truck. Easy to clean
Why do I just love this couple, and think they should have their own realty show???
Love the contagious attitude whereby after his freak heart attack at such a young age, he didn’t decide he was too “fragile” (as I’m sure many people might) but life is fragile and one should never take precious time for granted! These two are leaders with a vision!
Amazing what came after that close call. Thanks for sharing. Jen is the best!
The bathroom was pretty awesome. I liked it all. Stay healthy and take care.
Without a doubt this tiny home ranks among the top 10 out of the 500+ I've seen on TH-cam. Not to mention how personable and clever the owners are. Lots of nice features here and the aesthetic is appealing. Oh, to be about 30 years younger with some carpentry skills....
This is the best looking truck tiny home I've seen. It's perfect! There is actually a shower, toilet, stove and living room - you never see all of that in one space. GREAT JOB! How amazing!!
You have a delightful home. Really beautiful.
Totally awesome! Probably one of the coziest I have ever seen that also checked all of the boxes. Looks like they could even add more solar if needed. Lot’s of brilliant usage of space. I’d feel safe in one of thee too. L o v e the up/down queen bed! Bravo!!
Or upgrade panel watts.
This is just so charming and homey -- and practical! I'm in awe of their ability to organize space.
Wow! What a beautiful home. Ingenious design.
Very clever ideas shows they had some plans and emulated others build to suit them.
Great use of space, your little home has a lovely energy 💕💕😻
Sawyer and Courtney have made themselves a beautiful home. I totally respect their Carpe Diem ethic/attitude. Thank you for sharing a beautiful couple & their lovely home 😊
That couple and the cat is really cute 💙
I love it. Perfect size for me. I love the lounge/bed area. What a brilliant idea to put the bed on an up & down tracking system. That's a game changer. Thanks for the inspiration. To do all that for $14k US is amazing. Perfect size.
Nice setup! 👍🏼 Looks nice and homey, carpentry skills came in super handy! ☺️
I think they did a great job for a two people & cat home! Very adorable and glad he came back to life. God work’s in mysterious ways! God Bless
Reminds me of a time long ago when families lived and traveled in covered wagons. Such a simple life. They took their time, and used their money wisely by being patient and getting what they wanted for free or low cost.
Very wise for being so young.
What a wonderful and beautiful design! Bravo!
With passion comes solutions beyond imagination!!! 💯🤙
Very cool! The couple were quite lovely and wish them years of enjoyment with each other and living their best lives.
"Everyone thrives in what works best for them." 🎯 Fantastic build.
Nice job really nice set up Good for you guys 😎👍
Love your home, especially the doors, I'm always concerned about safety.
I’d be interesting in a discussion about the impact sharing such a tiny space has on couples and their relationships.
I wish there was heart button. Oh my gosh! The goat! loved her
🌀💚🌀 Awesome Art on the the outside… 🌀💚🌀
Lovely young people. Everything is cheap and budget oriented, but well thought through and practical. Best wishes.
Great job. Impressive to say the least. If you two are the future of the world then we have a bright one. I'm 72 years old. I've seen good and bad in my time on earth. You guys are the good in the world. Be safe and good travels. Bob
You did a wonderful job. Blessings to you
What a beautiful home for a beautiful couple [ and kitty!!!! ] You have done an amazing job with an amazing budget! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you.
Excellent use of space and perfect design. Adorable couple.
Wow! Just Wow! You folks have done an amazing job with such a tiny space! You will always look back when you are older and be glad you made the effort to chase a dream and live frugally while you could. Congratulations on the beautiful little home.
Another great tour and a beautiful build and what a lovely couple🙏❤️🇳🇿🇳🇿
Such a great build!!! So cozy & homey.... makes you want to curl up on the couch while something yummy is baking in the oven. They seem like THE sweetest couple. And, he seems like a he's very talented, as well as she does with her artistry. Really nice cpl - - wish them all the best in their super cool build!
I did love the couch
Excellent! Congratulations 🎊
This is the most beautiful box truck conversion i have ever seen! The eye for detail and all the self made wooden pieces are gorgeous! They are the cutest couple and his experience will ensure they will now enjoy everything so much more. He should build more conversions as he has the crafts and the eye! ❤❤❤
It's so cute, and suits them well
Wow that’s an amazing build!! I love the open concept. So open and inviting 🥰
🙏 Thank you !!!! Great video and I love your tiny home. Very cozy and homey!! Y’all did a great job 👏 GOOD ENERGY 👍😻💐🦋🦋🌹😁
Life is tough; I love the young couple, enjoy your life with your lover, no matter what or where you live.
Love how they gloss over being so young and having a heart attack. Live your best life and for the moment. We never know when God's going to call us home. God bless you both.
Yeah, the layout is really stunning. How impressive!
Multi functional incredibly beautiful home! The creativity this couple share show in the building of this tiny home on wheels, from it’s earthly decorations to the sentimental supplies they used to make this house a home. Well done!💜☮
I think you mean "earthy."
Adorable home and couple, it warms my heart to see young people really get the value of what is possible, well done the very best to your new adventures. I have to say this build is one of my favorites.
I love this idea of a mini home in a box truck.
Really sweet couple, their tiny home is clever. Blessings to You Two~
Lovingly gorgeous built out with personal touches love it. 💕
