New Zealand have wonderful spaces all over for tiny house communities. They don’t have any of the crazy rules and regulations Australia has. Australia don’t want them become they won’t get rates without buying the land and Australia won’t allow such small plots to be made available. Oz, bucks first, NZ brilliant, they care about people first.

Thank you. You are very kind.

Thank you for showing us through. It really is set out well. Easy living. Bellingen. North Coast, Northern rivers of nsw. The people have been vibing chill for decades. I'm in Queensland now after 60 years I the Tweed. Cheap land and chill vibe.

You make me feel like I wanna be your friend 😊like what Wyble said! Sending good vibes from Quebec 🙋🏻‍♀️

You're right about her voice. She could read audiobooks.

I never thought about that as an occupation 😊

How do you know all these things about this particular woman?

​@@PetraKann.,. Just listening to her voice and views. Listen again and tell me what yóú hear😂❤❤

@@CCelia1953 I am a poor judge of genuine character if I dont know the person. Anyone can present any persona they like by merely acting or focusing on trivial things or a couple of simple issues. Not questioning the integrity of the woman in this video. Over the years, I have learnt that "character" and "personality" are not the same attribute. In fact they are often totally unrelated. There are those rare individuals where their character and personality are essentially identical. Can you think of one such person CCCCelia1963?

I was thinking how much I liked her as she speaks and how much of what she says resonates deeply with me.

When people reach the end of their lives they don't say 'I wish I'd bought _____.'

She lives in a high class taco stand... pretentious....who cares about these people?

Yes. That is the challenging part and she is obviously lucky to have foibd a spot.

Thank you so much.

@@allthingsfrench I really is lovely! I'd love to know where you had it built?

@@wildpeace my dear friend built it for me. He is experienced but isn’t building tiny houses for a living.

@@allthingsfrench thank you for replying, how special.

It is. I live tiny and I am single. It’s the best decision I ever made. And I smile every time I walk through the front door of my house

Thank you xx

Thank you very much.

Same here. Built-in narrow couch(es) with thin cushions don't look particularly comfortable. I would gladly give up the under storage space.

I had decided not to have lofts either, but I've since changed my mind. If I have stairs with a sturdy handrail, I want a huge loft for only my sewing/quilting room area.

There is one thing I've GOT to have! That is one of Zack's storage staircases so I can get to the loft easier AND store whatever I want to in the storage under the stairs!

I agree at an older age and physically not able to climb up and down ladder’s or stairs is a no for me. I love this tiny house otherwise.It’s beautiful. I myself would take out the window at the end of the tiny home in living room.Put in a trundle bed.Then I’d be happy with everything.

Her house is beautiful. A True Tiny Home. Not an overpriced glam house.

Im a huge fan of murphy beds. If one day she cannot use the loft anymore she can place a murphy bed where the couch is now.

Totally agree, as a 62 year old women whose looking at purchasing a tiny house by 65. Those of use who are 60+ particularly if you are single.

I’m a declutter and organizer, also semi retired and 60+ whose also looking at going tiny for all the reasons you’ve mentioned. Love your realistic views of going tiny. Thank you

The good thing about the boom in tiny living is there are now quite a few companies building tiny houses that are all on one level - no loft bedrooms. Even better, one can draw up a plan and get it custom built to their liking.

I think the clambering into bed is going to pall very quickly, especially as she knocks her knees/legs. And making the bed. Oh no, no, no. I think loft bedrooms are fine for kids, ( as long as they make their own beds. As if!) but downstairs bedroom a must for anyone over 60.

Wasn’t it funded by the sale of bigger property that they held to accumulate wealth. Plus going of the France for those tours would be luxurious costly adventures. BTW who’s hassling you and “asking you to apologise”? If you’ve a house like this, and it works for you, excellent.

In the USA, a home like this would likely exceed $100,000 pretty much anywhere in the country. You may be able to find one for under $100,000 but the quality would be subpar, to what you hv. And to find a place to park it, can cost several hundred a month. Regardless. I think the lifestyle is worth it, if one can afford the cost! Congratulations to you for your accomplishment! I am going to check out your sight for France depending ... maybe we will meet one day.

That was materials cost only. Not sure why they didn’t publish that part. I definitely said it.

@@allthingsfrench it wasnt published because people want to click on 45k, noone wants to click on 100k :D

As the divide between the ultra rich and the poor increases, as the middle class disappears, ”they” may want us to move to trailer parks and call it ”tiny houses”. Also, these tiny houses pop up in nice landscapes. I thought we were to cluster housing, not sprinkle it over nature. I get it in Australia. It doesn’t work in Belgium.

So being a povo started being called downsizing a few years back, and now it's being called rightsizing. And they're not trailer homes, they're tiny homes! I love them and am building one, but the language people use just makes me laugh

I never got along with an air fryer. I think I didn't give it enough time. I make alot of Veggies

@@donnadiesburg7451 Then your doing it wrong.

I have thought about it and may well go there one day. Thank you.

All Things French you will love the air fryer . There is a lady on You Tube who shows how to cook meals. So for one or two people, it's great ! Love your home !!!

@@vickiehanan5686 Thank you for that information and I appreciate your love of my home. X

That was materials cost only. Not sure why they didn’t publish that part. I definitely said it.

I wonder how much total (inc labour) and how much for land rent?

@@lindagray1809 I’m certain you could at least double that figure to include labour. It is parked on a relatives block of land. X

Thank you very much. I’ve admit I feel very happy. X

Thank you very much, you are very kind. X

He is a dear friend, not a professional builder. He won’t be building for anyone else and the $45,000 was materials only. X

@@allthingsfrench All good. I just meant to credit him. He sounds like a fabulous friend 👍

@@c.o3301 he is indeed. He is my son‘s father and I couldn’t ask for better support. Thank you.

@@allthingsfrench Ah, I love to hear this ❤️

@allthingsfrench You are very fortunate to be able to call your son's father your best friend, even though he is now your ex-husband. Sad to say my ex is just that.....after 28yrs. When I was starting to have financial problems 8 yrs ago, he actually said that he wouldn't care if he saw me living in the street. I had a terrible car accident 41/2 yrs ago that was not in any way my fault and went through 3 lawyers who lied and cheated.....I never signed the settlement because it was not what I should have gotten. Today, I'm still in pain everyday and can no longer be the physically active person I was....hiking, bike riding, snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, kayaking, swimming and even taking my 2 dogs for walks. I just closed on the sale of my house and have till 9/30 to go through everything to move into a small apartment. That is my 1 yr plan till I move into my own tiny home. Have been thinking about it and researching builders and communities for the last 4 yrs, knowing that I wouldn't be able to afford the upkeep and taxes here in New Jersey's Bergen County...very expensive. My home was 1,500 sqft. so not too big but my Mom had to move in her last 3 yrs. Now I am faced with downsizing over the next 4 to 5 wks......not only her things, but my own. It's a daunting and really kind of a terrifying prospect. I have 2 small rescue dogs and I worry about how they will deal with it. I got rid of 1 large old couch from my mother and it took them several weeks to adjust to just that. I am so lucky that I just found your video and will use it as inspiration as I do an emergency downsizing to get into the apartment. What is going to make this process more difficult is the physical pain I deal with....as well as the mental pain from having to leave my home of 32 yrs. But, finding your wonderful video is going to help me. Maybe you could write a book ( short) or series of articles encompassing your philosophy. I think alot of people facing the same thing would find it very helpful. Merci.
