This couple and their tiny home are so coo!!l Their story and journey are definitely an inspiration... through a lens of reality 🙏🏼🤙😊
Thank you so very much! That means a lot to us! 🥰✌️🌟
Melanie I love the sunflower 🌻 table you made!
Thank you so much 💕 🌻🌻
Yes amazing table
@@larsstougaard7097 thanks so much! It was hard to make and I am so happy with the result! ❤️
@@mrscopeland1 It is amazing.You could easily sell those.
@@smallhouseinthemeadow6131 thanks! I do some contract woodworking on occasion.. I have sold a few! 🥰
It is a shame that a government agency, (with non elected employees) can decide whether you can or can not park a tiny home on your own property and all of the other dozens of rules they impose.
It really is! We need more freedom in this country..and all over the world for that matter!
they do it on purpose. otherwise they can’t hook people on 30 years of interest money.
Appreciate the honesty- not sugarcoating things as many are wont to do. They share the realities of the many sides of their experiences which is refreshing and informative especially with the challenges in finding land. Thank you!
Thank you! So appreciate that! 🤗 you are so very welcome ✌️🌟😃
So fun to see one of Randy Jones' (of Incredible Tiny Homes) earlier model tiny homes where the people came for the workshops which he offered. These owners added some very clever and space saving features to their tiny home.
Thank you! Yes we loved the workshop! I wish he still did them. We had such a great time!
Randy is an awesome guy. I've been to the factory a few times.
@@mrscopeland1 Hi Melenie, if I'm not mistaken, a couple months back he (Randy at Incredible Tiny Homes) showed your book on one of his daily TH-cam videos. Anyway, you sure did get a great deal on your Tiny Home, even with all the labor you put into it. Cheers to you!
@@gregoryhodge9452 You're a lucky guy to visit his factory. We would too, but sadly we are way over on the left coast. However, we sure enjoy his daily TH-cam videos along with the LOUD & lovely Amanda. ;-)
@@gregoryhodge9452 he definitely is! The new factory is huge now! 🥰
I love this little tiny. The couple seem really friendly and down to Earth. I love the fact she wrote a book for others looking to go tiny. Such an inspiration.
Thanks Rose! So appreciate that :) happiest of holidays!
That is the cutest, cleverest tiny tiny home I have ever seen! I just love it. So creative and quirky.
Melanie I want to say you and your husband done a great job, it looks wonderful and i thank you do a beautiful job on the inside of the tiny home but it don't look small when you get inside, the way u have it, it looks alot bigger than it should so great job Melanie love and I would live in it forever ❤
Thank you so very much 🥰we love our tiny home too! So appreciate the comment 😉❤️✌️
Love your home Melanie ....You have your own land ❤️🙌🏻❤️ Wow I didn’t know you did all the woodworking ...Beautiful!!!💕
Thanks so much! Yes the land is amazing! ❤️ so much woodburning! Thank you! 💕 i enjoy it 🥰🥰🙏
I enjoyed the tour of the property and the honest talk about how living in a tiny is not rosy all the time. Your house looked lived in, it is not staged.
I would add a bit of safety features for the lofts, a fall can always happen.
Thank you. We have been tiny almost 4 years! Definitely lived in around here! Thanks for your concern :)
Your home is unbelievable. I wonder if you came up with all those innovative creative ideas or if you were taught them with the builder. Whatever you have made them beautiful. I watch a lot of fancy tinies and yours is much more enjoyable. Thank you
Thank you so much. We designed this home. There were not as many options when we built almost 4 years ago. The builder had a home called American Freedom and we copied the layout but made the changes that worked for us. We added the stairs and such. We so appreciate that! We definitely designed this to work for us 🥰☺️✌️
Lol I love that little tablet holder over the bed. Seems like a fantastic way to snuggle up in bed and watch something together.
Especially liking that you don't have to crick your neck to watch.
She’s so pretty and what an awesome tiny home. It truly is a transformer 😄
Aww thank you ✌️☺️
Pretty?
Melanie this is sooo CUTE!!!! You’re adorable!!! Great video girl!!!
Thanks! So appreciate that 🥰✌️
So surprised to see Melanie and her husband here. I actually watched them build there home at the work shop!!!!
Thanks Janet ! So good to see you on here 🥰🥰
Very neatly arranged. You do what you have to do to survive. Neat tiny home. I like it.
Randy Jones and the team at Incredible tiny Homes and some of the greatest people. Not only is he a trend setter in the tiny house market but his thought process of everyone should have a safe dry warm home
They have been wonderful to us and we are thankful everyday for the workshop that helped us get our tiny home! ❤️ we wish you a very merry Christmas! 🥰🎄🥰
Love these people AND their tiny home!!
Awww we love ya too! 🥰🥰
I really want to attend a workshop so I know how to build and where each part goes. My main issue would be where to put the tiny house. I would like to station it close to Florida. I want to have a small garden outdoors and raise chickens as well. I would either probably paint the walls though or put added insulation and walls to paint. As long as there is ample space in the shower, I am good. I would have to measure that. I would have to get rid and sell a lot of things to go tiny. That's another difficult part in the process.
I love this tiny house! Especially the fact that it's actually tiny, not a ten metre giant of a "tiny" house. This is the kind of tiny house I dream of building❤️
Thank you so much! It is so different being on the smaller side! I get so many questions at 144 Sq ft! I wish you every success in building your tiny in the future! Happiest of holidays! 🌟 🎄🌟🥰
@@mrscopeland1 I'm in the UK the size of an average 2 bed house here is around 800sq.ft so often when I see tiny homes in the states it makes me laugh😄 yours is a proper tiny home and beautiful ❤
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😘🤗🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼cool no debt IS VERYRYRY IMPORTANT YOUR SOO RIGHT!!! The only thing which i don’t know if possible in Virginia..but if ever you don’t have anything to heat one day is to have a wood stove that could be also a heater the same time..
Thanks! We don't really get cold enough here to need that. But we do have a back up propane heater 🥰
They did a great job so talented. It's small but surprisingly more spacious than I imagined
Yes we are definitely on the tinier side of tiny houses! But we feel the same way open and spacious! Thank you! 💕
@Melanie Copeland you're welcome 😊 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🤗💞
@@JamesB02 thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! 💕
@Melanie Copeland thank you dear
Very nice tiny home. You should build a larger front porch and put a table and chairs out there. You can eat and plays games out there.
Yes for sure this is planned..we had a lot of clean up work on the land first. We will get there! 🥰 ✌️
Love ITH! I will buy from them as well! Randy is an amazing guy, and Amanda is so awesome too! Can't forget Ace*! So happy for Y'all! Your home is stunning!!🏠❤️
Thank you so very much! We enjoyed building with ITH! I wish they still did the workshops! Thank you so much everything in our home is handmade or hand built...including the home...and we just love it! That means a lot! Happy holidays! ❤️
Beautiful, I love the pine paneling and the sky blue accents inside.
One of the big appeals to me, theoretically, is it is said to take very little time to clean.
So, for me, I feel that much less guilty when I don't clean. In the nineties or early two thousands, there was the McMansion trend, and there were vacuum systems built into the walls. That was supposed to be the height of luxury. Less work for women.
Thank you! I definitely feel it takes less time to clean! ❤️
that book idea is so helpful for beginners
Thank you! I hope it helps so many who want to go tiny! ❤️
Beautiful and simple. They've got everything they need. Really Beautiful
Thank you ✌️🥰
Bravo for the low property mortgage and paid off home. Awesome , so much less stress to work to barely survive. Wow be very PROUD❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you so much! It was a lot of work to get here! But so worth it! 🤗
I have watched many, many tiny homes and yours is one of the best.
Oh thank you so very much! We have really loved building and designing this! I so appreciate that! 🤗
The sunflower table is gorgeous
Thank you so very much ! Everything in this house is basically handmade and we love it ! The table was a challenge! So appreciate that ! 🤗 💕
Thank you, just real and wonderful all around.
Thank you 🥰✌️
Love this. This couple is an inspiration.
Thanks so much 🥰🥰hope you have a wonderful holiday season! ❤️
Love super simple it's suitable for tiny house concept
Thank you! 💕
Such a great story and couple.
🥰 because we have amazing friends 🥰
Wow you are so talented!!! The sunflower 🌻 table you made is SO beautiful!!!!😊
Im a van dweller. I wanted a tiny house before my van. I Love your house. One day I may try a tiny house. Im already down sized
Yes! Most definitely! You are on your way to a tiny if you so choose! ❤️ thank you so much!
Very good job on your wood work, love the table !
Thank you so very! ❤️

Super cute, but I would need a wall or railing for the lofts.
Thank you! Hope you make the perfect tiny for you! 💕
Great inspiration!!!
Where can I get your book?
Thank.you! It is available on Amazon! ❤️
Thank you!!!
@@marciaburrows7070 you are so welcome! Happiest of holidays! ❤️
Love it
Thanks! We do too! 💕
Happy new year!
It's so awwwww you guys are adorable 😍😍😍 and "House" in my culture we refer as heaven 😍😍😍😍 this is heavenly 😊
Thank you so very much 💕
What type of wood paneling is on the ceiling and walls?
This is tounge and groove "V groove" siding.
I have an 8x20x10.. It's gonna take me a bit longer than 7 days,but im getting as much as i can for free for it though,im trying to stay under 10k
Wow! Congratulations! Thats so exciting! You can definitely do it! It was a really long 7 days!! Haha! We were sooo tired! 🤣🤣! Best wishes with your build I am sure it will be great! Happiest of holidays! 🌟
Like the Amish drying wrack.
I really, really love your story and your beautiful tiny house. This is what I always wanted to do and you inspired me to go for it. I would like to read your book. How can I get it?
Thank you so very much! It is available on Amazon! ❤️ I wish you nothing but the best in your tiny journey! 🥰🥰 thanks so much!
Have you looked into tank-less water heaters?
That is what we have.
I wish I could have had a mortgage like that that's cool but I'm almost got mine paid for knock on wood.
Almost paid off is great! Huge congratulations! 🌟🌟✌️✌️
Well the two main things I noticed about this video was it looked like a very nice layout and ending result for the tiny house and the second thing is every space in the house seemed to belong to the woman, except for half the bed.
Thank you we love our layout. Nothing belongs to either of us in regards to space. We swap hammocks on the daily. And enjoy time in every area of the tiny. He can use the loft if he needs or wants to..he just doesn't as much because I work from home and he goes to the office. It's all in how ya live at the moment I suppose.
I'd also like to add.. Having been married for over 20 years.. If ya can't share..a small space for a couple won't work. It's not a me or him only thing..we are a team. We work together.. In life as well as in the tiny 🥰. Happiest of holidays! 🌟
@@mrscopeland1 thank you, I appreciate the reply and that helps give me a more balanced perspective of your situation.
nice
Thanks so very much!
gotta love the housing market, the land is cheap if the house is on wheels it's under 50k to make. But as soon as you put it on the ground it's 500 million trillion great investment not in my back yard you should cut your grass.

In my reality I don't want to be sitting or laying around in a hammock all day while inside.
That's the beauty of tiny! You design it to fit you! 🥰
🤘
Once?
Please tell me the chicken did not have a coat on!
No its a mating saddle. Prevents damaged feathers from the rooster :)
@@mrscopeland1
I was wondering if it was rooster protection.
@@hollyslaughter5505 yes absolutely! She is his favorite.. So she needed a bit of help :)
The cost of your book?

Melanie: Is your washer spinner an Auertech ? I need one but never knew what to go with; how has it performed for you?
Hi. Unfortunately I dont think they make mine anymore. But any one in the$ 100-150 range should be comparable. Yes it has worked great for us!
@@mrscopeland1 Thank you so much for that! And all the best with Serenitas!
@@spotterofgold thanks so appreciate that! Best of wishes with your new washer spinner! We really love ours!
Where in VA are they?
We are in buckingham county
@@mrscopeland1 oh wow your not to far from me….looks great!
@@iiAmChristopher thanks! Cool 🥰hi neighbor!

The money is what I dont get about tiny houses. They said they were in this for like 50k? There are plenty of existing houses in fine shape around the country that would get you 1000-1500sq ft for that money with fully functional baths, showers, kitchens etc.
We didn't want a traditional house. With wheels we can move where we want. We do enjoy or land. But if our life changes we can take it with us. Housing in our area in Virginia is much more expensive than this.. Most homes are in the 200-500 k and we didn't want that debt. We did this so we can be debt free. We also didn't want the large house to take care of! I so love the 144 Sq ft. I would never want a large house to care for again. That's our personal preference. We wanted a smaller space. Minimal living is amazing! 🤗
@@mrscopeland1 I understand the reasoning but 200-500k seems pretty disproportionate as a comparison. Im 20min outside of chicago in a very well regarded county and $275k can get you 1500sq ft with a two car garage.
If you go 2.5hrs south of the city you can get 1200sq ft for about $80k.
The other issue with a tiny home on wheels is that while you can take it with you, it doesnt appreciate. In 20 years, it will be viewed the same as a 20 year old car instead of a home that may have increased dramatically in value.
Besides, at the rate you're paying for sq ft, you're in the ballpark of half a million dollars for a basic split level home.
Its great that you love it, Im just saying that the math really doesnt balance for 99% of people.
@@miket2646 thanks Mike. Not everyone wants a 20-30 year mortgage. I also worked in real estate so I understand the issues. But the reality is that I own my home free and clear. My land is all I owe on now. I won't be paying it off for the next twenty years. I didn't want to pay 200-400k in my area for an older home that needed a ton of repairs or was a fixer upper or was an attached home. Housing in our area is ridiculous! This was 27k for a brand new home and 16k for our land. I don't view equity in this as an issue at all...as I don't intend to sell. I feel most tiny dwellers don't build these to make money like a traditional home. Which is a difference. We invest our money in our savings and have cash on hand for our needs and don't depend on the housing market to make money.
Also, just to be clear.. We were not interested in a larger home. In fact if I had to do it again I would probably build smaller. I didn't want the big house, the big expenses or to spend my time cleaning and caring for a large home. This is hard for non tiny dwellers to sometimes understand..but gaining more Sq ft for me was not a goal. I wanted less...less stuff,.. Less space and less expense. This meets our needs wonderfully. It is actually a large growing movement and there are many that are living tiny. I understand it is not for everyone..but please understand..it wasn't for any of the reasons you mentioned for us.
There are trade offs in everything. I know many many people who live tiny and love it. While it is not for everyone.. It was the best decision I have ever made 🥰
@@miket2646 Actually, all houses depreciate over time. It's why houses need to be remodeled and renovated every now and then, especially before they're sold. So it's actually just the land that can appreciate but not always as it's tied to the local economy, which won't always prosper. So the only benefit of traditional houses is they're tied to the land but that also comes with additional costs because that increases your property taxes, it means paying more for utilities, larger homes require more furnishings and other costs that have to be maintained over the long term.
The average home owner, nationally, is paying over $9000 on just maintenance and basic home owners costs annually. So even not factoring a mortgage, most home owners are actually spending up to multiple times the original purchase cost of the home on all the long term costs.
There's also the difference of building new, as that's an additional cost that doesn't always get passed on to future owners of the property but if you want a new and even custom built home it's something that is going to be added. So you can be paying a much higher premium for a traditional house on foundation when it's a new development that can go well above what the medium housing price is in the area for existing homes.
Besides, the comparison by cost per sq ft doesn't work because cost per sq ft doesn't scale linearly. Seriously, you're not building a large house with 9-11 windows, a kitchen and bathroom, bedroom and living room, into every 200 Sq Ft of it... Nor are you getting them all new and the majority of them custom built as is the case with most tiny houses.
Large houses custom built start 50% higher in costs and go upwards to over 4 times as much, for apples to apples comparison. But the majority of traditional houses are tract homes, mass produced houses built to generic standards that may or may not exceed the minimum code requirements, which force people to adapt to whatever they can find in the market instead of having a home optimized for them... Among other issues, like not being built to standards people can care about like sustainability, ensuring it's a healthy home and not full of chemicals and other toxins, actually meets their needs without needing costly remodeling, or having to deal with HOA's and other ways home owners rights and be limited and face additional costs.
Even people who can afford expensive homes are starting to opt for alternatives like tiny houses because the traditional housing market is failing an ever increasing percentage of the population...
Besides, examples like the housing bubble crash taught many a lesson that the traditional housing market is not always a good investment and really only makes sense for banks and those in the real estate market to view it that way... Along with there arguably being more important things in life for many people to focus on instead that will have a bigger impact on their life...
@@ZeoCyberG Not sure where to even begin. So much of what you said is absolutely wrong.
The housing market itself swells in value like the stock market and the vast majority of homes are sold for more than they were purchased, over and over again.
Go look at any reasonably healthy counties sales records online.
Just the land is worth it? Not the house?? Really??? Do you not realize that most houses last 80-100 years? Less than 5% of home purchases are tear-downs, so no... its not just about the land.
The property tax is a cost no matter what and of course it does come out of your increase in value at the end of the day but most people still come out ahead.
$9000 a year in maintenance? You're absolutely nuts. I bought a brand new AC unit AND blower with full installation and it was $4500. Thats the only money in repairs for the last 7 years for me and i'll likely get 20 years use out of those units.
For landscaping, my mower was $400 and Im on year 11 for that. Costs about $1.50 in gas to mow my lawn each week. No downed trees in 16 years to deal with.
Unfortunately, tiny houses are like the smart car. Was a great idea until you realize that its half the car with half the utility at basically the same price.
Hopefully we get to a point where the costs come down and make it a sensible choice for more people, but until then... plenty of very affordable houses out there.
Did she say $35 G for the shell??
I didn't get a shell. We built the house for 27k..probably about 35k after paint and stain and poly and all the finishing stuff. 16k for our land with well, septic, electric and a driveway.
Honestly love the cretivity people have for these homes, BUT.... i need to shower more than once a week so im gonna stay in a normal house 🤣😅
So we only did that when we were in a backyard. We just used the gym so we didn't need to. On our own land with our well it hasn't been an issue.. We shower as much as we want! ❤️ ❤️ thanks! We love our home!
I bet the Amish could do it in one day. I think the Amish should get into the tiny home building. They already live off grid so they could specialize in off-grid tiny homes.
They definitely can. And they do build tiny houses!
I saw a video where 30-50 Amish men lifted up a whole barn and walked with it to a new location, really impressive people.
@@mrscopeland1 Yes, and some have partnered with ITH too.
@@ZeoCyberG yes! I have seen that too! So cool!
They actually are,
The pictures are way too small. What are you trying to hide?
A shower once a week? Hmm
Yes at the house.. We used the one at the gym most days.
I guess I'm a little oversensitive but it irks me when a man refers to his wife as 'The wife'. She has a name - Melanie
Awww... I understand. We have an amazing marriage! Going on 23 years together. I guess I feel empowered when he calls me the wife 🥰🥰I'm so thankful to have a partner that makes me happy. We just kinda roll with the sayings like that 🥰🤷♀️✌️🌟
Built "it". Not her.
Too much talking not enough showing of details
Почему американцы всегда так странно разговаривают? Будто кошка хрипло мяукает.
Where in VA you were able to park your tiny house?
@@deboranunez9917 I am in buckingham county in Central Virginia very rural.
Woman sure has a ton of room for HERSELF.
I work from home so I use the space while he works in an office.. Its 144 Sq ft.. We have been married over 20 years.. Trust me we share it all... Lol
My name is Melanie :)
they way they talk they should went tiny .... i think she wants a big house ...... it just cost too much ..... i want a big house too ..... no money
The way I talk... I would never go back to a big house. I absolutely love my tiny and if I built again it would be smaller... It has been super affordable. Maybe you should watch the video again? Hope.your holidays are happy ✌️
Melanie and John have created a wonderful little homestead. I'm happy to call them friends. They are true Tiny House advocates!
Thank you so much! We really hope that in the future anyone who wants to go tiny will have more choices than we did! We have worked so hard to make it happen! It just shouldn't have to be this hard! Merry Christmas! 🥰🎄🥰
We have an RV that we have on our property. We have our water, electric driveway in. No septic yet or a foundation but we do have gravel down. I like what you did someday we can do that or a cabin. I like what you said about tiny and purging stuff. It’s freeing!
Thanks! Congratulations on your set up! It definitely has been freeing for us 🥰 thanks for watching! Best of wishes for your property and land! Sounds wonderful 😁✌️
Very informative; I would like to check out her book! These are some very intelligent, clever people... and she's absolutely right in saying it's a transformer house!
Phew! She wore me out just listening to her explain their tiny and tell their story. So amazing, I'm truly blown away by their ingenuity! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. ✌🏻💚🌼⭐
Oh thank you! Yes there is quite a bit in this little space! ❤️
You could have bought a fifth wheel rv for alot less a tiny house is a waste of money
You can't live in a rv year round in cold weather. Also rv material building isn't the same. My brother was a service tech for rv company over 30 yrs. Trust me I've researched both options
