Just stay healthy friends! Good show today!

I have been hoping for a long time that you would produce some videos with collections of storage ideas, ideas for fitting beds in tiny houses, ideas for add on outside living space, collections of various heating and cooling solutions, etc.. Great job! Please keep more of these coming. With embedded links to the original video as you are show each segment, please?

Thanks soooo much Bryce, I'm so glad you did this compilation, I've been making a special folder for all "good storage ideas" , but I'd have to watch most of each video, so this is a time saver ! Love you guys, thanks for all your great work, & congratulations New Zealand Covid-19 free 😀 Yeah ❣️

Hey nice video ideas, great job both! Hope you all keep safe and healthy, Bryce & Rasa. 😊😀😁

I agree! This focus on one element is a great teaching tool.

Thanks so much Jeff! Really glad you enjoyed this video. We would definitely like to do more like this.

@@livingbig You and your bride do such fantastic work. You videos are a highlight whenever they appear in my inbox. I usually don't watch immediately but wait until I have time to savor them as they deserve. Cheers!

Jeff Stormer Much better description than what I attempted in my own comment!

@@livingbig Yeah videos showcasing different topics like this is great and gives builders ideas for their own tiny homes

I thought I had seen all their videos until I watched this. Great job gathering so many different types of storage into one interesting video. Now need to find the ones I somehow missed.

Same here Kennya!

while watching, i thought of few videos which might be up next and i was correct!

You're not alone. Same here.

Me too! ^^

Thank you :) 🙏❤️

Yes! The editing super good! It really makes your videos stand out!

Yes, excellent work Rasa. You & Bryce make a Great team!!!

Dylan Kert thank you :) 🙏

Cheryl Bond Naw thanks. :)

So much this. I don't think I'd ever go tiny myself because of my lifestyle and pack-rat-ishness, but I LOVE the design philosophy behind tiny living. No wasted space, everything in its place, and give everything utility. I hope to use some of these fascinating solutions if I'm ever fortunate enough to design my own house.

I watched this video specifically for ideas for my normal (if slightly small) sized house. The only issue here is that every choice they make is a compromise and many of them just arnt practical or what someone not living in a 300 sqft space would consider a reasonable compromise. Making simple tasks you do every day more of a hassle so that it takes up a little less room. In a tiny home it is a requirement, but if you didnt /need/ to roll a wardrobe out of your shower every day, unlatch and hook up a ladder to get to your bedroom or crawl through a hole to get clothes would you choose to do it anyway? most people dont have full sized houses so that they can cram every inch with even more stuff, but because having a bed at normal height with a dresser or closet is more convenient than needing a stepladder to get into bed so you can put the dresser under it or lifting the bed up everyday.

@@ericslingerland5472 Then you should watch asian / Eu ones. They are more used to small spaces and know how to organize and design them better.

How's it coming along?

How did you navigate the local laws and building codes, and land use etc.

Congratulations!!!

We got a 20 acre parcel. It had a derelict mobile home on it. we gutted it and are making a wonderful tiny home!!

make a little bit bigger house, guess it will cost you the same as making all these double floors and other clever storage where you have to have everything hidden. some storage shown here is genial but one has to take it out every time... not for lazy people lol

While I don't plan to have it as a primary residence, I am going to use these great designs for adding guest quarters to my outbuilding workshop.

I honestly think that mobil homes gives more space and its affordable .Just living and moving around such a small place not only is hard ti keep neat but like anything else .Gets old .(human nature) its hard to keep everything neat .But nice video.

Why would anyone but the very poor want a tiny house?

@@liawatson5789 the rich to show how sophisticated they are. Poor people would not call it tiny house and brag about it. They would call it trailer and complain about it

@@liawatson5789 What a judgy and snooty question. That's like asking why anyone but someone already stuffed full of food would choose not to binge an entire cake 🙄 Most people won't choose to be wasteful and unhealthy just because they can. Maybe not everyone wants to deal with a ton of wasteful space and random junk. Owning stuff weighs on one's mind, the less stuff I own and the less space I use the more relaxed and focused I feel. TONS of people with good money choose to switch to tiny living, like do you even watch this channel? Get a clue

Thanks so much! It sure is. I hope you and yours are all keeping well! :)

That’s a great idea!

I love storage solutions! Even "full size" houses could benefit from a lot of these ideas!

Three cheers for that!

The people want a tiny house but store so much as in a big house !!!

Melissa Shiels I agree! My immediate thought was how large a closet I could have over the (larger?) soaking tub I need.

Still one of the best ideas I have ever seen.

Omg haha I'm doing the same✌😅

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the video.

Same Raynola, more storage and kitchen space in all thoseTiny Houses then in my real house. So many ideas.

I guess they sat through and actually listened to all their math / geometry in school lol. I didn't 😂

Thanks Ash! I'm sure you will. :)

Good morning frm the Philippines. Same here dreaming to have one soon...

You can do minimalism without the tiny house. Start now!

So glad you enjoy them. Thanks!

I absolutely agree! Love them!

I agree! 3 Major reasons IMO: 1.) These are unique and very personal homes, that feel like "homes" rather than rented cinderblocks, without also being beyond most "starter home" prices, so it's like an attainable dream. 2.) Bryce and Rasa are such positive & generous hosts that make all the tiny home owners also look like happy, content people. 2.) The very relaxed yet cheerful intro and outtro music :D

Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed this concept and would like to see more.

Yes, please do that !!

Why would any one live in a tiny house? I don't understand!

Imma Ben Makhlouf List of the Pros of Living in a Tiny House 1. It is easier to own your home when you live in a tiny house. The ownership rate of people living in a tiny house is 78%. For those living in a traditional house, the ownership rate is just 65%. Many of those who own their tiny house don’t have a mortgage either. 68% of homeowners with a tiny house have no mortgage at all, compared to the national rate of 30% of U.S. homeowners. 2. Tiny homes provide all the modern conveniences. Just because the home is tiny doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the conveniences of modern living. You can have air conditioning in your tiny home. You can have the space needed for a washer and dryer. Some tiny homes even have a second level available in them for a private sleeping space. The customization options for a tiny home are almost the same as they are for standard homes. 3. It is much cheaper to build. The average cost of a standard house in the United States is $272,000. The average cost to build a tiny home is just $23,000 if it is built by the owner. Even if the work is contracted out to professional builders, the cost to build a tiny house is still 80% lower than the cost to build a standard home. That makes it much easier to save money because maintenance costs are also lower. 1 in 3 tiny house owners have at least $10,000 saved for their retirement. 4. Tiny homes are portable. If you own property, then you can build your own tiny home and have a great place to live at a discount. One of the advantages of a tiny home is that they can also be placed on a trailer, much like a fifth wheel, so you can have a vacation home wherever you travel. Although there are vehicle registration issues to consider with a portable tiny home, many families have the option to travel full-time while still having the option to work from home. 5. It offers reduced maintenance requirements. If you are living in less space, then you are going to spend less time cleaning. You’ll spend less on the cost to replace a roof or update the exterior paint. Those who have embraced the tiny house movement discovered that they have much more free time because there is less space that needs to be covered. 6. You’re going to save plenty of cash. Alexa Nota calculated her total cash savings for Travel Well Magazine after transitioning into a tiny house lifestyle. In just rent and utilities alone, she is saving $560 per month. Compared to renting, they are paying $547 per month more when all expenses were considered, though she estimated that their truck and hose would be paid-off in 3 years. There are options to work in exchange for free camping sites to limit site rental costs, which means the long-term savings is quite high. 7. It provides opportunities for less consumption. Living in a tiny house means being conscious of every purchase that you make. If you do not have room to store something, then you can’t have it in your tiny home unless you sacrifice space for it. That means your wasteful spending goes down. Your overall waste goes down in the kitchen. You begin looking for ways to recycle items instead of throwing them away. That means you’re always looking to reduce your consumption instead of worrying about how much you can afford. 8. Energy efficiencies are built into tiny homes. When you have a smaller space to heat or cool, then you spend less on the energy required to make yourself comfortable. Although extreme conditions that make you uncomfortable in a standard house will also affect you in a tiny home, you’ll find that the actual processes for heating or cooling are very similar to what you’d find in any other home. The energy requirements are so low, in fact, that mobile solar panels and a good high-capacity battery could take you completely off the grid. 9. It doesn’t require a septic system. Tiny homes built in the city can be connected to a sewer system for modern plumbing needs. The advantage here is that remote tiny houses don’t require a septic system to provide modern convenience. With a composting toilet, you can go anywhere without worrying about your connections. If you use the toilet full-time, a couple living in a tiny house may need to clean it out about once every 6 weeks. You can also equip a black water tank and plumbing capabilities for a traditional flushing system, even on a fully portable tiny home. 10. There is plenty of space for your pets. Although you’re not going to be able to live with three dogs and two cats when you embrace the tiny house movement, you are not excluded from having pet companionship. A cat (or two) in a larger space works just fine. If you have some outdoor space, a small dog breed works well with a tiny house too. For those who love to travel, the tiny home, acting as a fifth wheel, makes it a lot easier to take your furry friends with you on your next adventure. 11. It gives you the chance to splurge on building materials. Because you have less space to worry about with a tiny home, you can splurge on certain items with your building budget. You could upgrade your floor to hardwood or bamboo flooring for a minimal cost. You could add stainless steel appliances without much issue. You could even opt for more exotic woods for your interior. Although space will always be precious in this type of home, you also have more personalization options then you might normally be able to afford.

Us too! Thankfully lockdown is now over in NZ and we are able to start filming local tours again. :)

@@livingbig that's great! Wish you both the best! 👌❤️

Yay! Your videos are always one of the best parts of my week

@@livingbig Stay safe :)

stay safe to u all

Thanks for the idea!

Oh yes please!

I would love some more questions on the type of insulation people used and how happy they were with results. Having spent time in metal caravans the open ventilation can't be be fun all year round in some climates.

I totally concur! One of the ones here I recall seeing before that stuck in my head as def wanting in future design, is the one that has the large horizontal window in kitchen, where window opens to outside deck with bar stools. There's also a couple of other designs I have seen previously that ties in the living areas with the outside deck. Both of those aspects will drive my future design

classic ambo yes insulation would be great! As I’m about to refit a schoolie and am atm just winging it as to what to insulate with as any vids I’ve seen it mentioned were more about protecting from cold than heat (I’m in australia)

K Griffin-Wonderful, useful comment. Thanks! (I'd like to see a stair design compilation. At 71, ladders do not interest me! 😵)

For sure! Sounds like you're working on a great new design. :)

It’s a smart idea but I feel like water gets everywhere because there’s no glass

Yes, it's very exciting and I'm super proud of New Zealand for being really proactive, locking down hard and getting. to the stage where we can now return to (almost) life as normal. It means at least that we can start filming new local tours!

@@livingbig Sure..You must be very proud ..Will be eagerly waiting for new episodes..👍👍😀😀

Living Big In A Tiny House be safe!

@@livingbig hi from PANAMA covid 19 season. watching all your videos and subscribed to the channel, saludos.

Followed by people saying they LOVE their composting toilets! ...oddballs...

Thanks!

Would love to see the tiny house movement get started in India. We would love to film some episodes there one day!

Yes i was also searching for the tiny houses in india hopefully the movement will start soon 💮
