It's now fixed after a winding unexpected back & forth with their tiny house builder.

i'm happy it worked out for them but they were still ahead of the game because , they didn't have to buy the land......or did they......

All true insight is given to me by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!
FYI:
1]
There is a Tsunami Tidal Wave prophesied for the east coast
and the west coast as well!
The Lord God has told me in my spirit that the ENTIRE east coast (USA) will be destroyed and or underwater!
This will be due to the Canary Islands La Palma and Iceland's volcanoes,
erupting and exploding into the Atlantic Ocean!
God revealed to me that this Tsunami Tidal Wave event causes the events described in Revelation Chapter 8:6-9 (The 7th Seal).
This Tsunami Tidal Wave is also depicted on US $50 & $100 bills currency,
just as 911 was depicted on the $20 dollar bill BEFORE the event happened!
You can see a variety of TH-cam videos for complete instructions on how to fold US paper currency to reveal hidden images like the 1941 Pearl Harbor Attack, OK City Bombing, 911, and the Upcoming New York City/ East Coast Tsunami Tidal Wave!!!
This Tsunami Tidal Wave image is also on:
Illuminati Playing Cards
The Simpson's Canary Islands episode
I, Pet Goat 2
Written of in Novels
Featured in Comic Books
Displayed in Music Videos
Featured Storylines in many blockbuster Movies
The Storyline in Video Games like Secret Files
and many other places as well!
God warns us in many ways, but God also requires the evil, powerful, and magical Demonic Realm all around us to warn as well.
However, Evil usually does this in the form of make believe, or in jest
like in movies, videos, documentaries, video games, sitcoms, novels, and the like!
The La Palma Island volcano is now splitting.
The Icelandic Volcanoes are boiling as well.
It is said when these volcanoes explode, their pieces will plunge
into the Atlantic with great force, then major water displacement will occur!
This will create a Tidal Wave/ Tsunami that will destroy New York City
and the entire East Coast of America!!!
This Tsunami Tidal Wave will also drown all neighboring states to the north and south!
Areas down to, and including, the entire state of Florida, with all its nearby islands will be underwater!!!
You can visit floodmap.net then plug in 100-200 meters high wave
to see how your particular area may fair if you are situated on the east coast.

The Mark of the Beast is a new form of BIRTH CONTROL!
It is a small round patch with 16 tiny holes that form a square
at the center of that round patch.
This patch adheres to the skin, then fillers within this patch penetrate the epidermis and enters our bloodstream as it changes the DNA of our bodies!
*We humans should not take this Mark
for it will ensure Hell for our souls!
*Nor should we bow down to worship anyone or anything,
for this too will ensure our souls to be delivered to Hell.
We are to worship God aka Jesus Christ only!
Please pray about what has been written here.
Ask Christ to save your soul by His atoning blood,
and or how to move from harm's way.
Please, if you are reading this I believe it is by divine intervention.
Perhaps it's not for you, but someone you know,
or perhaps you have the power to warn many through your resources and or friends.
Thank you for reading this.

Thanks Maddy & Alec for sharing your story with us. Despite the trials & tribulations of your tiny house journey, you were willing to be totally transparent with the viewers. You are a beautiful couple inwards & outwards. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness along with many blessings to follow. 🙏🏾❤️☮️
Maddy & Alec, Your tiny house is beautiful/adorable. What's most beautiful & adorable about your tiny home is-the two of you! Your love, humor, & playfulness is apparent. Your design & decorations bring in so much positive energy.
I'm sorry you went through the stress of your house flooding. It happened to me & an entire floor had to be taken down to the studs. Thank you for sharing this part & your red flags about the builder.
I wish you the best & hope to see your next tiny home as well🤗 Ps: your parents are awesome & your dog is gorgeous.
I am so impressed by this couple’s positive, yet realistic attitude. They don’t seem bitter, but they aren’t sugar coating it either. I appreciate that they are notifying the public so others won’t have the same problems.
Not only is that some sloppy work by the builder but if 90% of the work was being subbed out that should have been clear from the get-go. Glad you named them, so others know who to avoid. You guys were a lot more restrained than I would have been in dealing with that mess. Your dog is beautiful!
I was thinking they should have flown there to fix the problem. I knew right away it was the flashing...that's (sadly) common even on big expensive homes. Roofing is the biggest place no potential homeowner looks...understandably, but still. Builders get away with so much in that area. Glad these guys were able to fix that - I hope those builders have cleaned up their act.
Thanks for companies names. I'll NEVER buy from them!
Plexus
You said it all there!!
No to a purchase but yes to a dog like that.
They decorated it beautifully but again, no way to buying one. I'd build instead. They're v patient people, a lovely couple. Best wishes and bravo on the buyer beware advice.
Over priced too btw!
Did I mention how gorgeous that dog is? ;-)
@@annalee3629 what are you referring by P…..?
You know the tiny home community is a very small community and word of mouth gets around. People are always looking for recommendations on tiny home builders so the fact that you're speaking out about this issue is going to affect this company in a very adverse way and I have to say they deserve it. People should definitely consider long and hard before working with that company. They're going to lose a lot of money.
Exactly right!
&jjjj
It says in the description they recieved compensation, as long as the builder made it right what's really the problem? Nobody's perfect
Mocha: seriously? You do not see an issue with them paying to have a custom home that was built to direct water INTO the home? They had to tear up floors, walls, live with that mess and ...well, I could spell it out, but, simply put: they paid to have a home custom built, and the builder made an error that a first year tradesman would not. We all work hard for our money and the purchase of a home is a MAJOR buy.... I wish you the best in life and encourage you to use this story as a “heads up”..
@@Mocha_x_svt Did the builder make it right? To make it right the builder could have had the house shipped and fix it onsite or paid someone hourly to fix the house. It was completely their fault.
Mold, flooding and subsequently ruined building materials are real issues for so many people. Whether tiny home, mobile home or site built home. I applaud Maddy & Alec's tenacity. Good luck dears. Glad you have put all that behind you...what a great learning curve! And applause to Alec's wonderful parents as well 🤜💥🤛
Mold from water damaged buildings is no joke. It can have far reaching health effects. If they subbed out the work, they're still the responsible party. The lack of accountability and responsibility here is infuriating. I'm surprised legal action isn't possible. So sorry you had to deal with that - being two nice people.
I'm so sorry you two went through that with them, it was a challenge not getting angry on your behalf. BUT! The most valuable part of this video, for me, was your transparency about the problem, and your problem-prevention suggestions. Thank you!
💕☺️
Agree. What a precious little family they are, inviting us into their home sweet home. Their love is inspirational. I'm sure they will be well, for all ways!
I feel sad (and frankly a little angry at the situation with their builder) that this lovely couple went through this water damage in their home, I think I would have been in tears! I am also very grateful to Maddy and Alec for sharing this video with us all 👍 It's DEFINITELY helpful, omg! Thank you!
That’s wild the builder was such a d-bag about their clear deficiency. I’m so glad you all kept with it and got it fixed- but it’s so nice to learn of these things and especially what builders to steer away from! If they reimbursed for the inspection and still sent the fixings - it would’ve been better- but they didn’t. Shows where their priorities are. Such a wonderful couple! And great advice😊
If I have ever seen a cuter or sweeter couple, I sure don't know who it would be! These two are simply enchanting and wise to boot. Such great attitudes! I love the design of their home and their dog is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing with us Maddy and Alec. TOTALLY enjoyed your tour!
You’re kidding right?
cate zaida: Agree completely. 👍 👏👏👏💕
I agree! They are such an adorable and sweet couple.
@@HottieBugatti kidding about what?!
Her personality is adorable! Great couple and really cute home.
We love these two! 💕
Their last comment was my favorite- that they want to pay it forward and allow someone to live on their land when they can buy it.
Besides being kind and altruistic, they are very wise. Having a lease with a family member is just as important, if not more, than a lease with any landlord. (I know- I’m watching two family members with no lease between them and it’s not fun.)
At their age, they wouldn’t have known to get a third party inspector, but at least they figured it all out, documented their problem and ended up with a solution. (The tiny home company really should have compensated them for labor to fix the problem . They would have gotten loyal customers instead of bad publicity on a You Tube channel.
They are just the sweetest couple and I really enjoyed this video!
Beautifully expressed Dawn! So happy to share such a kind (and fun) couple and about their experience to help others with their research. For so many, getting into a tiny home is huge endeavor and would be heartbreaking to be stuck with such a major problem like this :(
@@TinyHouseExpedition thank you and GOD BLESS YOU
Thanks for giving some scoops on what to be aware of when choosing a tiny house builder, the warranty details, etc. Your little home is lovely. And you're blessed to have parents willing to give you some space on their land.
They're actually renting.
@@dianemoonstone4715 they pay a mortgage
@@dianemoonstone4715 they do rent, but it’s a much nicer and larger space than what they’d get at a mobile home community and the fee sounds under market value. They are still fortunate.
Your tiny house is adorable! I’m so glad you told us about your leak problem and the very unprofessional response from Ida Tiny Homes.
I would not buy anything from them because it was their mistake not yours. They should have compensated you for more than just materials. That’s very bad a business practice.
I agree completely. Is there a reason that you didn’t sue? I’m not litigious either, but in something like this that caused a lot of expense and inconvenience through shoddy work, I believe I would have.
I thinkTiny Ida Homes will not be on my list when I buy a tiny house. This couple is incredibly kind and understanding over the problems they had with deficiencies and shoddy building caused directly by the manufacturer.
THANK YOU for talking about the leak. These videos tend to be all "wine and roses," and it's nice to see you dealing with real world issues that happen in all homes.
Beautiful home… lovely - and forgiving couple. The builder should have cut you a check for everything… materials and repairs - to correct the issue THEY created by improperly flashing your home. Not cool on their part. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Kudos to you, Tiny House Expedition for providing us with the video with so much needed info. Kudos also to this most lovely couple. I thank God that they didn’t allow this water problem to cause them any relationship problem or total discouragement in living in their TH. What a horrible and shameful builder that did not behave correctly when they were informed they had installed the window flashing backwards, which is the reason this couple had the water disaster they did.
Appreciate your kind feedback, and really hope this video helps others avoid those kind of pain
I just hope they don’t have a mold problem, that wasn’t found!! U have to get it all! It’s terrible that they had such shady people to deal with!! Luv, luv their doggie!! So cute that they carry him down the steps! But I would do the same!!!
It's your series that did it. Sold my home & ranch, gave away everything in the house, tossed my cat in the car, drove q18h & parked an Escape eONE in Durango Colorado. It is 67F in the casa without a/c. Doin' good.
Love hearing that; congratulations!! Would you be open to collaborating with us for one of our episodes? tinyhouseexpedition.com/get-featured/ 😊
What a cute couple! They’ve made some wise choices and learned a bunch of valuable lessons. Best of luck to the 3 of them in their charming tiny 🏠!
Thanks for the love! They absolutely did get wiser from this experience
These people are. Special.
@@TinyHouseExpedition
Wonder how having had such challenges either house … how will it help sell the house if and when they choose to move out?!🙏
What a delightful, wise, extremely precious (and not bitter) couple!
What a trial. I can't imagine how grim that ordeal must have felt. But absolutely worth it to my eyes. It's a unique-looking tiny house with awesome storage. They've decorated it so well; the fish tanks, all the wonderful light sources, the plants, and the rattan throughout make a beautiful, one-of-a-kind style. Amazing!
Cute couple. Her presentation was cute. Cute house. Beautiful location, scenery. Glad they fixed leak themselves since original builder did shoddy work. Now they can have peace of mind.
I’m so jealous of their relationship. I wish I had experienced a man who loves me how he loves her. Their relationship is magical ❤️
Very nice house. I love the decor and how open and transparent they were about the problems that could arise. The advice at the end was key!! Thank you to this lovely couple and their beautiful dog.
What you said 🙌 thanks for sharing the love! We were so happy they said yes to collaborating with us ☺️
What a beautiful dog. Makes me sad they went thru so much because the company their builder used did something wrong.
Sometimes mistakes are made with the best of companies. What indicates a company with integrity is how cooperative and transparent they are in making it right, and the consumers whole again. From the sound of it, this builder was neither. So sorry y'all had to spend so much time and energy to get them to do the right thing. I was almost curled up crying in a little ball when I saw all that water damage, esp when the source was unknown.
I want a dog just like that. I'm allergic but I would take meds for that dog.😅
Sounds like you could have built the house from scratch by yourselves! It's wonderful, thanks to your abilities.
Sounds like they were skirting their problem!!! They didn't build properly!!! Thought you didn't know what you were doing. Your husband knew. God bless. Beautiful home!
WoW .. what an experience ... it is great that you were persistent and figured out what to do ... and to have such great attitudes on top of everything ....
Thank you for sharing
💕💕🙏🏾
Thank you so much. I was feverishly writing ✍️ down all your points about being careful when buying your tiny house 🏠. Oh and you guys are adorable!
Thank you again 💓
Thank you for inviting us into your home and we really thank you for the education. I’m sorry you had to go through all of that and we appreciate that you can educate us about the red flags.🌹
Very beautiful home and couple. So sorry they went through this. Just imagine if he did not have the skills to fix their issue with the leak, so kudos to him. Thank you for sharing the name of the builders and what to ask and avoid when buying. Best wishes! 💯
🗣️YOUR DOG IS PERFECTTTTTTTTT!!!🗣️
🥰!
Wow, how sweet a couple. They would love their own land so they could help another couple to build their own tiny home. Awwwwhhh, made me cry. So wonderful. Paying it forwards. Love them so much. Thanks for this lovely story.
Most welcome ☺️💕
Very cute couple and an adorable dog. And shame on that Tiny Ida homes for not doing a better job when they built this really cool tiny home, caulking is really really important when sealing a home so it prevents leaks that can cause so much damage. And so great that you fixed that issue, you are for sure great at building and fixing things. I love the look inside of this tiny home, I do have to say since I am a lot older those stairs are way too steep for me to have to climb everytime I have to go to bed. Great video, thanks so much for sharing, sending love and hugs, bye for now. 😂😉🥰🤗💜💪🦴🪴🌱🐟🐠
The chalking was not the problem. The builder installed the window flashing improperly; whereby, the rain actually entered their home instead of being diverted in the opposite direction. My daughter’s condo in Chicago had the same problem. What a horrific mess she had to contend with.
Lovely couple with wonderful attitudes and outlook on life. I hope they get to pay it forward someday. That would be so rewarding! Gorgeous pup, too!
Absolutely amazed with you guys as a couple! Problem-resolvers, improvisers, and very patient handling these horrible water burdens! Definitely, drove you to give some very excellent advice and tips when buying! Very good use of space for all 3 of you!
You are an absolutely delightful couple!
Thank you so much for sharing your tiny house experience with everyone.
Your story has touched on some issues I’ve never imagined and it is so valuable to be aware of the potential for bizarre twists of nature woven into the honest mistakes of the human experience.
Your example of patients and diplomacy is no less than priceless!
I live just down the street from you in Lakewood and I’m always interested in how the unique weather of our area can dictate how we live and work.
I really enjoyed the way that you included your fur-baby into every aspect of the design and lifestyle. Dogs are good people!
You guys are such a cute couple. "We're still in love." And she is just precious I just love her personality. When she was talking about her decor....the hanging lights..."it's like a party" she is cute. One of my favorite tiny houses I have seen so far. Thanks for sharing
We fell in love with them! 😁☺️
Thank you for this information on this company. My kids want to move onto our large property and we are looking into tiny houses. We will be careful to not buy from this company who doesn’t stand behind their products and has faulty buildings.
Out of the entire video, all I can say is I absolutely adore their dog, he or she is gorgeous. wow 🤩
That is so awesome that you have clear agreement at that gives a sense of pride,and of course comea with responsibility to take care of the surroundings. I so love that life!
💯😁☺️
I love their Akita. She is beautiful. The house is cute too.
Great home, super sweet couple, gorgeous dog, and incredible advice. You saved a lot of Tiny Home buyers a lot of money and headaches with your story. Many Blessings 💗🙏🏻👼🏻
I want you to follow up with this lovely couple in a decade (if they are still in tiny homes) and see how their taste has matured with time and experience. LOVE how much the house reflects who they are right now. ❤❤❤
Beautiful build and a beautiful precious furbaby, love her🐾🥀♥️🙏✝️
three Beautiful sentient beings 🙏❤️ Feeling as excited as you about your beautiful future🥰
You know this world has become so awful. It’s just unbelievable that people like you exist. You both have amazing hearts and great advice. Your parents did an amazing job raising both of you will real value’s. I so enjoyed this video. I was really surprised to see a third toy bin for your dog upstairs. I wish everyone loved and respected their pets the way you do. Your home is beautiful.
This is great that you are warning people of the potential risk and how to protect themselves.
I do believe these people have a valid law suit if they wanted to go that route,
but life is just so much better when things don't get to that.
You are the first to tell about a problem with your tiny house. The absolute worst problem you could have is water. It was nice you resolved it.
You were actually lucky with your timing in my opinion getting in the tiny before everything happened. Looks very comfortable.
Seriously good timing!
Very smart good for you..thinking outside the box..people are crazy for money ...no one wants too give a helping hand anymore..proud of you too..keep doing you 2...
Yes you definitely can get butcherblock counters wet! I have the same kind of counters but you do have to oil and condition the counters fairly regularly. I love oiling my counters, they look so beautiful afterwards. The other benefit is things like when I set a pot on the counter and left a huge stain but all I had to do was get out the sandpaper and sand until the stain was gone and then oil and condition the counters again. It's a little bit of extra work but so worth it because they can take a beating and still be able to look brand new
Good advice!
Agreed - we used floor polyeurathane on our butcher block and it has been totally water proof. And it since we don't cut on it and is long cured, it is food safe.
@@mluisalambert I use food grade mineral oil
We have put butcher block counters in every home we have owned. They are wonderful! Keep them oiled or use a coat of polyurethane, no cutting on them or hot pans but don't be afraid to use them or get them wet for sure!
Good to know! I’ve always dreamed of having butcher block countertops (they’re gorgeous) but wrote it off as I heard they are high maintenance and can get damaged easily.
You guys are so awesome, what a cute couple and so wise, God bless you both. The wood deck is the cutest, great storage; everything is so well thought through; so happy it all turned out well for you in the end. Blessings. Xo
Building a house big or small can be dreadful if you get a lousy or sloppy builder. So many people are so trusting. Do not be trusting. Be good researchers. Get a contract have a lawyer look at it and make sure you have an inspection before taking possession. Hold back money as much as you can in order to ensure your build is done properly and if there are defects holding money back is a great incentive to get timely repairs done. Having lived through an awful build I know of what I speak about. I survived it and have moved on and we love our home now but it was at tremendous stress, heartache and a financial disaster. So buyer beware. Do your homework. TH-cam is a great resource use it! Talk to as many people as you can and also make sure that the subcontractors are reputable as well. Good luck. All that said I would do it again in a heart beat.
Well said
Excellent points!!
You two are adorable! Love your home and attitude.
VERY SMART HAVING a contract...seperate from'family issues'...gòod for all of you.... perfect!!! So awesome...beautiful
Great couple/owners. I so appreciated hearing about their water problem, hopefully their tips about construction problems will help others.
Thanks to this couple, everyone now knows to ask questions you didn't even know existed. ( lol say that fast)! 🤣 I'm very sorry that they got taken by the builder, that is so wrong. And this is the first time I've ever heard of anything bad coming from a builder of tiny homes. Yet you hear bad things about regular house builders all the time. I do hope that their house is OK from now on. Many blessings to you both. Stay safe please, Peace.
What an absolute nightmare!!! It is wonderful to see how you both survived such an experience. I know what companies not to use for my build! I honestly think they knew the problem, OR they also farmed out their work to folk who just didn't care. Your place is lovely, btw. Thank you for sharing!!
Awesome couple, warm and cozy tiny home and great tips about buying. Out of all the tiny home video's, I've never heard anyone talk about damage and warranties. The builders workmanship was shotty and they need a quality control person to go over the houses to ensure holes/openings are sealed properly and clear instructions on how damage, reimbursement is handled.
Your tiny home is beautifully designed inside & out. Love the quirky cool ideas especially the hanging lanterns with the disco balls inside them! Sorry to hear about the water issue you had with your tiny home as frustrating and discouraging as that had to have been for you guys and your cute dog, you dealt with it like champs until you resolved it. That was a brilliant move on your part! I’m glad the company did send you guys all the material you needed to rebuild it due to their error in constructing it; after your inspector found the cause of it. Thanks for sharing that experience of it and how you got to the bottom of it all.
I appreciate how open you were about the realities of owning a tiny house and what you needed to do to maintain it. That's such valuable information. I didn't realize that some tiny house builders subcontract the actual building. That's good to know. Your experience might save a lot of people similar struggle. Thank you! And you have a beautiful home.
Thank you so much! We are so glad our story can help anybody out there looking into tiny homes!
What a wonderful couple! Thanks for sharing your tiny house with us.
What a beautiful couple. Loved their story n their home. ❤
I appreciate your taking the time to really explain the issues you had, and what you went through to repair it. The suggestion about a third party inspector is VERY HELPFUL and I will be sharing that!
I LOVE your home and the living room being tucked away instead of walking right into it, you really do have a lovely and affordable parking space. Family is the best, and I agree spelling out expectations in a contract separates the business portion of your relationship for clarity and comfort all around. So cool is your attitude about paying it forward, look at you being MORTGAGE FREE in just a few years! Awesome!! (That’s one handsome fur baby you have, too!)
Thank you for your kind words Teresa! So glad this was helpful for you- that was our goal! 😄
Love hearing from locals. Great advice from their experience. I really appreciate their closing out with wanting to create opportunities for others to follow suit. Has he considered using his skills and experience to build tiny houses ? Another wonder filled tour. Thanks to you all. I want to build tiny and share property for like minded neighbors to support or coexist with mutual support systems.
Great question 😊😁 we’ll ask him!
You have a beautiful home, beautiful pup, and those views!! Absolutely gorgeous! And how incredible to be sharing this with your best friend! ❤️ And AC FOREVER! (Animal Crossing lover here too! 😊)
Thank you so much! AC FOREVER!!! 🤣💗
An adorable couple. Happy for your beautiful well thought out palace. I had a similar parent set up with all the perks. I was blessed to live next to my folks. May you both be healthy and enjoy your folks. Blessings to entire family
Hello neighbors, wherever you are close to me 🤣I'm in Everett..love your home
Cheers to PNW!! 😄
Thanks for sharing your pretty house and your story -- sounds like you guys really handled that issue like pros. Great advice at the end.
Loved this closer look at this home! I followed their adventure on Instagram, so was familiar with the story. The details shared in this format always help build connections. I love that they have such a positive view of tiny life and that they allowed the challenges to make them stronger. 💪🏻🎉🥰
Their perspective is admirable! We really appreciated how honest and straightforward they were in sharing their experience because really they just don’t want others to go through that 😊
Wow thanks so much for sharing!!It is such a beautiful house but buyer beware is right !I don’t think that company realizes how much they have lost in business because no way would I buy a house from them .Deny,deny isn’t always the best business tactics . When and if we downsize we will probably have something built onsite by a contractor where we can see everything that goes into it . This video has helped a lot !!!
It’s crazy right!? If you build on your own property also be aware that most tiny home builders will only build in their factories, so maybe get a good one that’s close. If you hire a contractor not all contractors can build tiny houses. They may not understand how to attach the house to the trailer or might not understand the small space saving things that go into a build. There are so many things to think about when building a tiny home.
@@TinyHouseExpedition our won’t be mobile …just small .. we have a class A we travel with .
Lovely natured couple with huge hearts. You love and learn and these two took the situation very maturely. Only best wishes moving forward on your journey you two. Hugs, Veronica (Australia) 💜
Thank you for the kind words and tuning in Veronica! 😄
Such a nice family of three. Wishing them ever greater success as they progress towards their life dreams. They offer some really good, practical advice for anyone thinking about buying a tiny house, and that's paying it forward too. Peace to all.
This was so helpful, how they shared their challenges and good points about buying a tiny. Loved their sweet home. Well thought out and a lovely couple. Beautiful dog. They are really inspiring. Wish them the best!
So happy to hear that Laura! These two are pretty fantastic too 😊
You are a cute couple and seem like really down to earth people. Thank you for a window into your environment. The property is so so beautiful. Your lucky.
What a really nice, genuine couple! Their home is lovely, too!
You guys have a beautiful home and couldn’t have said it any better about needing a roommate up here. I’m in Pennsylvania and yes the cost of living is robbing us. Thank you for sharing!!!
Love the house and all the light and windows. They offer great information about legal issues, contracts and leases. The information they give is very valuable regarding problems and resolve with buying. PS the doggie is priceless! Thanks for sharing.
Honored to share their experience ☺️
Wow your fur baby is stunning. Your tiny is also very nice.
Great home, greater couple! Thank you.
Blessings & Peace. 🍄♥️☮
Whew! Just bought some land and intend to put a tiny house on it. This taught me to be scrupulous when choosing a builder. Definitely something to think about
This is a great video regarding the unexpected water leak. Folks looking for a tiny home, I hope they watch Alex and Maddy’s episode on your channel. Overall your tiny home is adorable, so organized including your dogs toys. Love it! Best to both of you
It's great that the problems they had didn't turn them off their home! A great attitude goes a long way!
Thank you everyone 👍👍🤗🙂🤣 Lovely home. I would put treads on those stair steps. Thanks for all info. Let the buyer beware.
Wow!!Love their house!Love the Beautiful dog and the unique stairs.I could climb up and booty -scoot down them!!❤🐺
Adorable couple and very responsible ~ love it. Great parents.
You have great folks and you were all handled the setup sensibly and with clear legal boundaries.
Great attitude. Nice people. Enjoy the adventure of life together in your tiny home.
Nice tiny house! Sorry they had so much trouble. With the water on their floor problem! I enjoyed their tour very much! It is helpful to know the amount the house costs, and the monthly bills they pay too! Great job you two! Thanks so much! Judy
Beautiful couple. Loved that they offered so many important tips. And it’s so awesome that they want to own land so they can allow other tiny homes to live there!
They look alike somehow! A friend told me couples that look alike are good matches lol
😅
I can see you guys laugh a lot TOGETHER. You got this. Here I am 50 years of marriage and I’M telling you.
You guys are precious! And kudos for telling your story so calmly, I’m pretty sure I would not have been able to handle the emergencies on my own, as I don’t have any skills for the repairs that you did! I’m really happy for you both, you’ve endured some pretty rough patches in your first few years! Pandemic, surgery, major home damage, oh boy! Good on you!! Keep up the good attitudes and congratulations on having such clear heads, and clear boundaries with the folks too!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching our story! 😄
You guys have the best vibe ever! I love your energies and positivity despite all the hardships endured! Definite marriage goals. And the space is so beautiful and genuine, AHH so much inspiration!
This is the second tiny house in a row that I’ve seen with the neon surname sign. Freaky coincidence or same builder addition? LOL
I couldn’t stand not being able to get my countertops wet. I’m spoiled and can barely think about having less than granite because I always put hot pots and pans on them.
I’m a huge proponent of paperwork with family and friends. As you said, everything is clearly determined up front. I’ve never had problems doing things that way. I have run into problems saying, “We’ll figure it out as we go.”
And, of course, I LOVE seeing people love their pup(s) as much as we do.
There have been quite a few homes I’ve seen that do have all wood countertops and they do use them… So I think it’s the way they finish them and I know it’s a lot of work whatever method it is, that they use, they use them to cut on. It’s amazing. In fact, if you look at Incredible Tiny Homes, they use wood on so many of their homes for countertops, it doesn’t seem like anyone has an issue with him as they talk about them on some of the videos.
And that flashing… worked in a do you, school that had just been finished, and after the first rain, we had every single room facing East, totally flooded. They had put the flashing in backwards… Yikes!
You both have done such a great job, planning everything including the legal agreement made with your parents. Love it… so very wise as it helps with keeping boundaries in all sorts of ways. All the best to you, as you move forward in paying off your tiny home and purchasing property in the future…!
SO informative. It's sorry they experienced this, yet it's nice they've provided their lessons & insights to the rest of us. Their home & their vibe is awesome :)
I love that you have a lease agreement with clear boundaries and expectations.
Hello pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there?
OH. MY. GOODNESS. You guys are adorable. I’m so sorry you had all those issues. I’m glad you are doing better. I love your tiny home. Your pup is beautiful. She’s an Akita? Best Wishes Always!!!
Yeah she is an American Akita
Thank you for your sweet words!! 😄
Love the "stay weird" door!❤
also what type of dog do you have?
She’s and American Akita
