Sage, we so enjoyed our time with you. Thank you for making the filming fun!

@@michelemerhib9297 I agree with Michele. It was such a pleasure meeting you! Great job with the end result.

@heidicarter429 I have to agree with you. What I forgot to mention in my previous post was that it is so well designed and has so many features that are must-haves that I'm pinning it to the top of my ideas folder. Way to go.👍👍

We look forward to meeting you.

@@michelemerhib9297 I would love to know who your builder was. (Especially if female!)

@@Suusannnn Her name is Traci Glidden. Her company is Big Bliss Tiny Homes. She is out of Puyallup, WA

@@michelemerhib9297 thank you so much!!

Wrong channel! Jenna is Tiny Home Giant Journey. Similar channels!

Oops! The 2 channels are similar and superb. Both have given inspiration and instruction for my plan to live more simply during retirement in a TH.

Hello Terri how are you doing today

$650-$700/month! For one, never rent land, for two ~ that price, Mobile home spots in Portland are half that!. Let me translate. Live in a overpriced Tiny Home costing you way more per square ft that a mansion, and live in a overpriced trailer park, in a desolate part of the coast with no jobs.

@@Van-..-z._-_z.-._-._.-z. Some of what you say might be true, I haven't done the research to know. But the "no jobs" part obviously isn't true since one works in an office that pays their bills, since it didn't sound like the home based business was a full time gig. Just saying.

@@Van-..-z._-_z.-._-._.-z. where do you live in Portland? I can tell you from my (I was born in Oregon and I've lived in Portland for the past 60 years) experience the price you're quoting may be from10-15yrs ago but certainly not today. Also, perhaps you should think about researching your information PRIOR to posting. It'll make you seem less ill informed. There's no need to be caustic either!

I'd love to see a tiny home that was fully accessible and could accommodate different types of physical disabilities; from someone who has trouble with stairs, an inability to crawl on the upper floor, to accommodations for an electric wheelchair. Low cost housing that is accessible is almost impossible to find, and you can't renovate a place unless you own it. Tiny homes are customizable, less expensive than house, and often there are ready made communities to live in. All are advantages for a disabled or aging person. I really hope they design something that can be customized for people with different types of disabilities. Baby boomers are aging, and people are living longer than they did before. People are surviving illness and accidents they hadn't before, because of medical advancements. We need solutions for both growing populations of disabled and aging people; low cost, accessible housing, different ways of using home care/caregivers, and innovations that aren't institutional care homes. This type of community could become one of those solutions.

This might give you some ideas ukposts.info/have/v-deo/epyCZ6-sjKNzyqs.html

@@Dain75 Amen So mote it be. Truer words couldn't have be spoken. And it's one of the reasons I'm so digging this build. I've literally seen hundreds of thousands of builds, from tiny homes, to tiny homes on wheels, most of which leave out the otherly-abled (hate the word dis-abled. They have "other" abilities even if one doesnt walk or is missing a hand etc). If they can't perform ALL of the tasks of daily living that, IMHO, is the population set that are truly disabled). That being said there is still a case where some truly disabled and "other-abled" wouldn't be forced into nursing/rehab home care, if there were more TH designers that were having good, inclusive designs for this segment of the population, as @dane75 so accurately pointed out. Being very open and accessible is part of the reasons this build went to the TOP of my folder for TH ideas I have to have to live my dream of TH living. Currently I'm working on standing, transfering at the least. But I have every intention to go as far as possible in my rehab and hope to walk again, at least a feet. But even if I can't, I have seen lifts (like hoyerlyfts) that can help transfer the person from the bed to the bath or from the bed to the wheelchair making them that much more independent. This TH build has the openness that a devise like this requires. The thing lacking is it being barrier-free, with wider doors, preferably sliding doors, so you don't lose any of the functionality of a space that is open like this one is. I love the no upper cabinets (although if desired there are some that drop down with hinges). And did I mention the openness? LoL That is one HUGE plus mark for this build, which is only lacking wider sliding doors for those that are wheelchair bound. Oh, and ramp(s) for exterior doors. And in their case, it would be very easy to include when they extend the deck and by making sure it's barrier-free to indoors. @dain75 ...Thanks for pointing out the desperate need for new builds especially, whether TH or more traditional, barrior-free is MORE than ever a need. That is if you want visitors (yourself incl. because you never know future needs). And it also makes it the more saleable because it is inclusive. Rant over LoL.

@@mmariemarkel7482 I really appreciate your post; I'm usually the one writing incredibly long rants like this about the need for housing for the disabled and elderly, as well as the assistive technology they will need. I've used hoyer lifts, but ceiling track are so much better. They don't take up any floor space, and you don't have to worry about the legs limiting where you can use it. A lot of care homes and hospitals have switched to ceiling track lifts. Plus, you can have a track in more than one place in the house, and they can be connected or not. Getting through doorways is much easier too. Unfortunately, they aren't covered like a hoyer where I live, but they should be! It would save so many people the trauma of living in a care home if they were able to be taken care of at home. I talk about the problem of the lack enough home care, proper/livable care homes, and the lack of caregivers and nurses for hospitals, care homes, and care at home all the time. Nobody wants to face it. The baby boomers are elderly now, and nobody has prepared for it. People are living longer due to better healthcare, and medical technology, and nobody has prepared for that either. Now the government is caught with its pants down and the solution they are touting in Canada is private, if you can believe it! Private is only for the rich, and they will take away staff from public health care, making it a two tier system, one for the rich and one for everyone else. It's crap, we can't have the rich taking away resources from public healthcare, but here we are. I'm so frustrated and sad, because it is always the most vulnerable, people with the least amount power who suffer the most, but those are the very people that shouldn't have to worry about who will take care of them or where they will live. We live in two of the richest countries in the world (Canada and the USA), and still we can't take care of people who need it. It's disgraceful.

Hello Tammy how are you doing today

THANK YOU !

Hello Suzanne how are you doing today

Daryl, our pleasure as your art is truly unique and beautiful!

That is so sweet of you to say. Thank you very much.

Hello Lola how are you doing today

Thanks! If you are in the village and see one of us, knock on the door! We would like to meet you.

@jenniferbates7656 I love your reply and the ideas you posed. Definitely is going to be in the topped-pinned folder of this build. Great ideas. Edit: The blinds on an in closed porch wouldn't have to rob them of light if they used roof product I just saw a day or so ago. It was a clear, ribbed plastic product that doesn't yellow or break like most of the older corrugated roof products did. Will try to find the products name and post it, if not for them, for others who might be interested.

Maybe you shouldn't do your shopping at convenience stores. 🤡

Hi

It is beautiful but I’d want a handrail for safety.

i've seen that in a build before, you step one foot at a time

I filmed this so I saw them navigate the staircase to film the loft portion of this video. Sue navigated it fine as did I. I understand th concern but it easier than it may appear. Plus the loft is just a guest space so it doesn’t need to be accessed very often at all.

Hello how are you doing today

Cute comment, everyone could benefit from a wifely duty homemaker.

Use it or lose it. Flexibility is a good thing to cultivate and maintain as one ages. Try Hatha yoga.🧘‍♂️

Hey Rob, great to hear from you! Yes, it was fun to film this video and share our home. Hope all is well on your end! ❤

Not just you! Me, too. Lol.

They are beautiful and SCARY. I generally use my feet and my hands on the steps to get up and down.

That’s why railings are usually required for insurance/ building codes/ mortgages etx

Gracias!
