Living Big In A Tiny House

Living Big In A Tiny House

День тому

After graduating from university, this entrepreneurial young couple kick started their next phase of life by building an incredible eco tiny house together!
Support our show: / livingbig
Unbelievably, Sam and Simone managed to construct this tiny house as a DIY project for only AU$17,000 which works out to be just over US$12,000. In this video, we discuss how they were able to construct their tiny house for such an affordable price and tips for building tiny houses for less. Especially in a country like Australia, where the material cost of building can be very high!
Read More: www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com...
As students of wildlife and environmental sciences, the couple now have plans to regenerate the property where the tiny house is parked. They are also using the tiny house as a base to launch a new online business. I hope you enjoy this full video tour of this stunning tiny home.

So many people complaining about how they live in their parents and what not. I’m wondering why does that bother you guys so much? Each person has there own story. Bryce has shown videos of people who rent land, have bought there own land or have friends let them park. Whenever there’s a video of someone utilizing there parents property why do people cry in the comments section?

@AJ-ox8xy 4 роки тому
Some of it comes from jealousy, some comes from people that feel they're lying about "doing everything themselves" or are "selfmade debt free", and some people just find small things to complain about because they're bored. Honestly I fit into the later category more often then I care to admit; but in this case I hope people just admire what was built and see the value in it for that. Maybe you can do something like what was done in this video? Maybe you can find people to help you just like these people did? Take control of your life and don't look down on others because they had help come from a more immediate source.

It seems to be mostly an American thing to knock the idea of living near/with parents. As an American, I was trained from early on to "leave the nest" as soon as I turned 18 (or stay and pay bills while living under the equivalent of martial law). I married my husband, went to live in his country for about two years and learned things are WAY different for most other cultures. Personally, I think it's great. I own almost four acres of land and I have every intention of sharing it with my children should they (hopefully) choose to stay close!
@GodParticleZero
@GodParticleZero 4 роки тому
I don't have any problem with sharing land from parents. It's just that a lot of people don't have that option. I have like 14 acres that that was my parents' land where I could put something, but they went and built a huge landfill across the road. Just my luck...=(

@Charlie Vetsworth Vegan or vegetarian, or even just reducing the amount of meat intake in our diets is a huge benefit to the environment and our health. In the US, livestock is the #1 contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from raising the food to feed the animals before slaughter. From what I've seen and read, being vegetarian or pescatarian can be very healthy and helps lower our impact on the environment, I can't see why being vegan would be any different.

@@sayaa1600 Usually the HEIGHT is 13ft and a few inches because of U.S. regulations for TRAVELLING on public roads, relative to being able to pass under bridges, that's why. If you search for Tiny houses on Foundations or that don't plan on moving, SOME people make their homes a little higher. For other's restricted by the 13ft+ rule they either: 1. made a low ceiling in their living room below since people spend most of their time sitting 2. made a lower level bedroom & put the living room on top with only enough height space to sit on the couch 3. made a bed platform that can be lowered into the Living Room area at night & in the daytime is suspended above, close to the ceiling. 4. made Gooseneck bedrooms, so it's only a few steps up, there's still a lower level, and people can stand upright

Thanks God I live in a culture where being close to the family is not only normal, but praised! In my country, if you started working at 18 and you stayed in your parents house for 8 years, even with a minimal paying job, you would be able to buy your own house with CASH! No debt, no slavery for the rest of your life! So literally, you could be around 26 years old and already have your own house! That is, if you work hard and are smart enough and you save your money and dont waste it on stupid things like new iphones every 2 years, expensive clothes and other unnecessary luxuries just bcoz others around you have it. I am so grateful to have two loving parents who were beyond happy that all these years I stayed with them! It wasnt a problem for them just bcoz I stayed in my room till I saved money. What parent would consider this a problem? Mine were happy that I spent time with them and its not like I took something from them. If I wasnt there, that same room would be empty. What parent wouldnt want to be near his child? This is absurd to me. I dont understand why would I pay the rent to some stranger and make him rich and I could be at my parents home for free and save for my own house? And one day when they will not be able to take care of themselves, I will be there for them and help them physically, emotionally and financially just as they did with me. Its called THE CIRCLE OF LIFE! So many "independent" people here with huge debt around their neck. Keep praising yourself and call others pathetic. That tells a lot about someones character! It is so clear that many are just jealous and trying to disguise it with looking down upon those who have parents who actually care for their children. *** I was referring ONLY to comments who were disrespectful and are now deleted by youtube or moderator, not those who say that the title is misleading bcoz it kinda is (actually, I see that the title is changed now). I know that not everyone has support from family and friends and their own land. Just wanted to clear that up bcoz my comment was misunderstood by some people. ***

Practical things that viewers could use in their own design. I love the design elements, but I would like to see a balanced incorporation of the functions, systems, permits and build techniques. Including that will help people to take the next step and DIY. I agree, many of us don't have relatives with free land or skills in construction - so that type of info would be helpful imho.

They had such a large advantage. Her family had land and her father is a builder. They were also able to live with family for a year. Sounds like they've benefitted greatly from her father's hard work of acquiring the land and possibly providing the home they lived in for a year. The space looks great and I love the stair railing.

@gordy threehorses In Australia these are classed as caravans so all rules relating to caravans apply. You're allowed to keep a caravan on your property when you already have a house as everyone on the property is assumed to be making use of the house (whether they are or not). If you are on a vacant block, you must already have plans to build a house submitted to the council otherwise it's not allowed. Most people are taking advantage of being remote but really it only takes one nasty person to dobb them in to the council......

Another terrific house, and a young couple living their life right! Loved the colours, material, and layout--and not having to do conversion price-wise, since Aus $, NZ $, and Canadian $ are roughly equivalent. But, I was thrown by the height of the loft - surely that was higher than the 13'6" (4.1m) that we North Americans are usually bounded by for road-worthiness? That extra bit of height would make a huge difference in the only drawback tiny houses tend to have...

Just a small reminder to people looking to do the same - Just going out collecting wood like that from reserves and national parks is illegal in many states in Australia and if caught you could face fines, so please be careful. Sometimes you might be able to get a permit. Fallen wood is expected to be left to provide habitat for native mammals, reptiles, insects, plants and fungi.

great video but i get frustrated watching these and then it comes out that they have built it on parents land (no mention of cost to the young couple so i’m presuming zero?) and to save the money to build it they lived with the parents (presuming rent free - ie the parents have technically gifted them the value of the build by not charging them rent)... yes they put in the hours building it but it’s not a true representation of affordability. Would love to see a video where the actual costs - land, materials, build etc are discussed openly and accurately... just a suggestion for a future video :)
@LK-by2cq
@LK-by2cq 5 років тому
I can understand what you are saying and why. If Bryce wants to calculate costs that they did not have to incur on a short term or long term basis, he could do so - inserting it into the video in an unobtrusive way. However, they are (or seem to be) the type who took the gifts without a sense of greed or even entitlement. I liked that about them. The father/father -in-law also helped with the build, as many relatives do. So this family was able to do more for the couple and did.
@pchc8586
@pchc8586 5 років тому
LK4484 Lamb definitely - I really liked the video and this couples build/design etc and yes there are people who are lucky enough to have the help and financial assistance from family. It was more the fact that this video was titled with affordability in mind but the couple couldn’t have afforded it without this generous family assistance. My comment is definitely not meant in a negative way... just from someone who loves the idea of a tiny house and lifestyle and is wanting to know ALL aspects of the build/setup etc without the want/need for family assistance.

@LK-by2cq 5 років тому

@CurledAway
@CurledAway 5 років тому
I like the idea, that affordability is not only on the economic side of this example, but also on a social side. The could have internalised these external factors, but I this case it seems like a freely given gift. That not for granted and within that lies the beauty. But I'm sure someone can easily add the cost for renting land in a desired area, or estimating the manhours of the build and multiply it with local labour cost...still factors cheaper than a conventional home.
@miaschu8175
@miaschu8175 5 років тому
The affordability of a DIY home, made completely by the homeowners, without help from parents, would be exactly the same. The fact that the couple lived with parents while building was in progress is pretty normal - DIY builders often stay with family or friends. The free land is where they are particularly lucky, however that isn't ever taken into account when costing a build. And land rent will differ greatly, depending where people live. So, I disagree that Bryce needed to give any extra information, or that this video was misleading in any way. All the cheaper builds rely on seconds, or salvaged materials, and often on help from skilled family or friends (unless the homeowners are the ones who are skilled).

A huge part of what stopped us both from going to uni was the debt - on average, 3 years of uni leave individuals with £27,000 in debt just for the course and not including the living part of life (that's in the UK) - so I can definitely relate.

I can ease up on myself a bit for missing the bus right away in life, seeing someone who has a life that many would call "dream" or "Ideal" shows that things are not always what they seam and that people change, everyone has regrets or things they'd do differently and that journey through the two is called life.
