The problems you mentioned are specific to the country you live, not specifically to do with tiny house living.

As far as I can tell, the bugs and dirt come with any house, not just tiny homes.

All your problems are not related to the tiny house but your location, lol.

Insects, dirt, mud, frogs, bats, lack of phone reception - all have nothing to do specifically with living in a tiny home.

that's got more to do with living in the country than in a tiny house, i live in the country, not in a tiny house. But! i can 100% relate.

Spiders and house critters are normal for any house, not just tiny houses.

What has all of this got to do with the size of the house?

These aren't problems living in Tiny Houses... these are problems living in any house in the country lol

Get some sticky fly tape and hang it up. Also put a rug at your entry door and take your shoes off when you come in. Get some crocs shoes So you can just flip them off when you enter.

Lame. Don’t watch this video. She complains about things not related to tiny house living

I have these issues in my normal country house in the USA. These are country living problems in rural areas.

I had a farmhouse on 40 acres in Pennsylvania USA. All of those problems you mention we also had. Flies, huge spiders, raccoons, snakes, bears, deer eating our gardens, just to name a few. The flies get in thru the tiniest cracks, and no house is airtight. Ours were getting in from the attic and then dying on the windowsills. These are all living-in-the-country problems, not tiny house problems.

It is very clear that those "but" are not related to the tiny house, But they are greatly related to where you decided to place the tiny house, so if you change your location that is the end of your buts

I have to echo the comments made by so many others. This should have been titled: Why living in the Australian bush is not as great as you think. I once lived in a six bedroom house in an isolated region of Western Australia - and we experienced most of the ‘problems’ this lady mentions in relation to her ‘tiny’ property. I would have thought the negatives would be lack of storage space, lack of privacy (if sharing), difficulty in accommodating visitors etc. As for dirty floors, we never entered our house in the footwear we wore outside - we would take them off at the entrance, and either slip our feet into a pair of house shoes, or walk around on our hardwood floors in bare feet. When we went back outside, we would quickly check our footwear for spiders. Most flies and mosquitos were kept at bay via fly screens on windows and doors, and fly swatters saw off any strays that got inside. Oh, and I never had a problem sharing my shower with the odd frog which I often found in there. Nevertheless, I did enjoy viewing this lady’s attractive house, together with the landscape and wildlife seen from its doorstep….

We live in normal size house and we have the same problem and worse it is not about tiny houses

how all that is related to tiny house?! that sounds to me like regular problems living in any house !!

I don’t think I will move to Australia… The huge spiders a big NO for me

Those are very common problems that can easily be dealt with in any house

Holy mother of god! Those spiders are HUGE!! 😱 Luckily I’m in Sweden and we don’t have spiders even near half that size. But I’ll take the tree frogs any day, they are so cute.

I can tell the environment is frustrating her. But that's nothing to do with the choice of a tiny house.

I just saw yorr house tour and if you close the windows then the bugs won't get in and just take your shoes off when you get inside. These probloms have nothing to do with the tinyhouse

I feel like this video should be titled: why not to live in the country 😂

So big traditional homes don't have critters? Not logical sorry.

These issues are due to living in the world rather than a vacuum.

Sounds like problems are locality and not the tiny home!

in my tiny house in Greece, which I have for the past 30 years, and I stay there about half months of the year, I 've solved all of these issues. First, spray the exterior walls of the house every six months. No spiders, no flies, nothing at all (I spray my big Athens house every six months too, to get rid of cockroaches, so this is not just a tiny house issue). Second, I have one dog and two cats. No bats, no mice, no frogs, nothing at all. Third, I have a nice mud rug outside the door, so no mud either. My only issue is snakes in the summer, which is also solved by the cats. Ah, and thunders, I am really scared of them, but this can also be solved with installing a lightning rod. Simple solutions for simple issues. Regarding the mobile reception, I have very good reception, but no internet. I just use my mobile internet whenever needed. That's a good chance to avoid any internet addiction, and I am not addicted to my mobile either, half of the days it is switched off. .

I have a few comments about the points made in this video. Firstly, I feel the poo from the animals outside as well as all of the other animals coming inside is not specific to a tiny home but rather any home in the country. I used to live 40km outside a small town and we would often have flies, spiders, millipedes, centipedes (very rarely, thankfully), moths, the occasional giant moth would try to get inside (which sound like someone throwing a rock at your window, btw), and frogs on the super rare occasion. We have also had 1 small snake and 1 large snake (which i dont know what type they were as my parents "dealt" with them). But these all happened in different houses while living in the country, none of which were tiny houses. Sealing the house is the biggest fix - retractable fly screens seal much better than the attached screens you have on the windows and minimise bugs coming in whether they can fly or not. They can be put on doors and windows. And if that doesnt work then there may be a breach elsewhere which may need addressing. Secondly, the mud/dirt coming into the house is also not specific to a tiny home. Although it may be more noticable in a tiny home, the amount of dirt inside would be no different if you were in a normal sized house. There are many work-arounds to the problem, one being no shoes inside and having them in a shoe box. Lastly, the phone reception is also not a tiny house problem but a country house problem. There are also solutions to this but they can be expensive, depending on your budget. Also, I would question what you want phone reception for. Tiny house mentality is to downsize, minimise, and unplug (figuratively and literally). If you have internet, which it appears you do, then the phone reception itself is not necessary. Internet communication has surpassed phone communication. I feel all the points are not specific to a tiny home. These issues would happen in the country, in a big house or a tiny house.

Please dont blame nature for your discomfort feelings. Or the tiny house.

sounds to me this has nothing to do with living in a tiny home, but WHERE you parked and how you maintain your home. Bugs, spiders, flys and frogs are everywhere. Dirt comes in everyones house, seems like you need a front deck, or rug outside... None of these things were tiny home related ...

You are a lovely lady and I will not dislike your video even if I should because everything you said has nothing to do with living in a tiny house but living rural. Anyway

Not a chance with them spiders there huge lol. I'm from England and we get tiny spiders and their bad enough. Your tiny home looks lovely gonna go and watch your tour of your tiny home now.

None of these have anything to with the size of your home. Cra-Cra

I feel like this video should be titled "Reasons not to live in the Country" because most of your issues were animal related which is based on location and then the only other thing was the cell signal which is also completely location related. Ive lived in a normal house in the country where everything in this video is true. Not trying to make this personal but your video is basically click bait for people that are nervous about moving into a tiny home. To which they would not actually get any good information or opinions other than whether or not to live in the Country.

Sounds like a location problem not a Tiny House problem I have a four bedroom house and I get all that happening in my house and more. It didn’t discourage me I still want to get my Tiny House. Be blessed

I don't see this so much as a tiny house issue, as much as it is your location. I live RV life in the desert. I have rocks and sand and flies as well. But it's my choice to be here because rain is so rare and it's hot lol. I'm still interested in tiny homes and looking to purchase. 🤔🤗👍

These are problems from living in the country. This has nothing to do with living in a tiny house.

Your problem is about the place where you decided to park your tiny house not the tiny house itself

Those spiders are terrifying… NOPE!

Everything you’ve mentioned so far has nothing to do with a tiny house. All those things are true for any house in that location.

Got to the end, still waiting for some form of problem caused by a tiny house. Everything you mentioned is normal living and not just in the country. I lived in Hervey Bay for 10 years, there were thousands of bats there, in a city around 80k. All of the other problems are normal problems, that you come to expect anywhere. I had one of those giant spiders years ago, that made my car its home. I would see it occasionally, crossing over the outside windscreen while I was driving. Brushed it off in the cbd one day!

Al the issues you mention are down to living in the countryside, regardess whether you live in a tiny house or a mansion, so th etitle is a bit misleading.

This is more location issues. One of the window's surround wasn’t finished. Quality of construction might be an issue as well. 🤨Best of luck to you.

You have to take into account that certain regions of the world don't have bug, bat and frog issues like this; also, just take your shoes off before you come in. Either have storage outside for shoes, or storage for designated "outdoor" shoes right at the doorway outside. That said, I really appreciate someone pointing out the issues with tiny home living so people can make educated decisions in either buying a tiny home and/or designing one. Thank you so much.

If that spider is in my tiny house. It can have my tiny house. I'm out dat bitch.

The problems mentioned have nothing to do with a tiny house, they are about living in the country.

Those are exclusively Australian problems except the flies and cellphone reception

We live in a big house and I spend most of my days cleaning, and yet it's still not enough. Tiny house equals lesser time to clean, lesser stuff to maintain which means you got more time. It's a matter of perspective.

How is no one mentioning that spider 🥴 * more like reasons not to move to Australia

Yeah my tiny house looks like that after rain. I am planning to add an awning over door so hopefully that will stop it. Try vinegar/ water spray… it’s a natural repellent

This has nothing to do with the tiny house but rather the place where you are in. Even if your house is very big, if is located where you are at now, the bats, spiders, frogs, flies and dirt will still be there.

I wish UKposts didn't take the downvotes away so I wouldn't have to waste time watching this video... the comments saved me!

My problem with tiny homes is all the restrictions and I do know mobile homes have Restrictions as well But my thing is for as much money as you put in to get it up to standard codes why not just buy a mobile home that's already at that? And again I do understand mobile homes have codes as well But a mobile home's better Bang for the buck you don't have to do anything extra. I've been looking at tiny homes even the cheapest one you could buy just a regular mobile home With more square footage I just don't see the point. I would put a mobile home on private land . Besides I don't want to mess with anything in my golden years I just want to something I can walk in and enjoy!

I was expecting a totally different video, this mainly directed at things all country bumpkins experience. I was expecting you to say, the tiny house means I bump my head on things or it's too narrow the kitchen or something??

If you get a tiny house, don't move it next to this woman!

so far, all of the cons are about the great outdoors getting in. that can happen in a big home or a tiny one in the county. Maybe you are a tiny towny? nothing wrong with that.

Honey all of these problems are issues one very well could have in a REGULAR HOUSE. Pests can (&do) get into a regular house. Mud, dirt, etc can (&does!) get into a regular house. This doesn't seem particularly relevant to the challenges of living in a tiny home.

None of these things are about living in the tiny house; just living in the country. What are the downsides to tiny homes?

Country living is fun, but can be challenging for some. Here where I am at, there are lots of insects, frogs, lizards, spiders, bats and birds. I love them all. Country living will not be complete without them.

And there are those of us who know that it IS great - depending on what you want out of it, and life in general. Not everyone is the same. I love it, though I know it's not everyone's choice.

I live in my Tiny House in a smalll village, in the South East in France (Europe), i never saw a spyder inside my THOW, i think you can find solutions to your problems. Good luck

The tittle should be “ The downside of living country “

You can look up natural remedies to put around your tiny house to get rid of pests so they won't enter your home.

It's funny the little things that we take for granted or don't notice until you're in the middle of it!! Your not the first tiny home owner to mention the difficulty of keeping the floors clean, lol.

Hum... your issues are not because a tiny house, my grandpas lived in a big house in the country, and they had the same issues as you. Including more, since the house was bigger. Dealing with animals is not like dealing with a country house. Your problem is with the animals/insects. Not with the size of the house it seems.

Just seeing this on my feed. These don't seem to be just tiny house issues, but issues for all. Geographically we all have similar problems. You do gave a lovely little home though!

Ok....all those problems can be had in a regular house.

Spiders and other insects and mud come with country living, I grew up in the country and now I'm in the city and I would love to go back to the country, I'll trade you places..

City living big houses have same issues depending what part of the world you live in

Sorry you are unable to fully enjoy your Tiny Home location. Most, if not all, of the issues you mention have more to do with living in the country, rather than anything specific to Tiny Homes. I live in the US & these issues really have nothing to do with living Tiny.

Don't know about the flies but peppermint plants and spray for spiders works.

If you can't live in nature, you could always live in a penthouse in a concrete jungle 🙌💛🙌😉

Finally it's the country living you don't like, not tiny home

These are problems with houses in the country period! Misleading title!

🤣🤣🤣 Not at all what I was expecting. Sorry for the spiders & stepping on frogs & pesky floors but I've been waiting for someone to say the tiny house is just too darn small, period! I collect art, play a baby grand piano, have a variety of coats for various types of weather, at least half a dozen pair of slippers, sandals, flip flops, boots, a winter wardrobe & summer wardrobe (central US gets bitter cold & blisteringly hot), I love to cook & bake & that takes space for equipment and space to work. I love to entertain with dinners, etc. I've always thought I'd love a tiny house while the weather was perfect and I was able to sit outside. LOL! Sorry, I've just been waiting for those videos & some videos about how open concept kinda sucks - no wall space for art, etc. Thanks for a great video. Hope you love your tiny home. The setting seems blissful.

You mean why you shouldn’t live in Australia lol

Nice video but only one of these is an issue with Tiny houses. Flies, spiders, frogs, fruit bats (seriously don't park near the Cairns public library) are a Rural issue. Same with phone coverage. I live in a Rural area (Not in a tiny) in a mobile phone black spot. There is only one solution: a cel-fi booster from Telstra. There is no other option. You can get sat nbn, but for purely phone reception the Telstra cel-fi booster is it. The one issue that pertains to a tiny is the mud, esp for THOW. If you don't have a deck/verandah your muddy boots/shoes/dogs will be coming inside and if you don't have a deck you will need solution for that.

That’s probably because you are in the country. As far as the mud and dirt that is not that bad just sweep it up. I live in a house in the city I get flies ants and dirt dust. I have dust bad. I live on a busy street. I guess it doesn’t matter where you live there’s always something. I wish you luck that you can get rid of all that is in your house.

damn, tiny house community is savage. all these comments are cut throat. she is just sharing her experience guys and as someone who is looking into building my own tiny house in the very near future it is refreshing to find a video that isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

Standard house problems for me watching in the UK. However internet????

This had nothing to do with tiny living. Location, location, location.

These are all *you* problems, not tiny homes...

Ahhhhh this isn't just a tiny home problem plus you live in the bush so what do you expect!We live kind of near a swap so we get snakes and a crap ton of mosquitoes and ticks bears, raccoons,Heck tell you what you come live here and I will move into your tiny home!

neem spray, anti insect electric plug, mixture of essential oils may help...

Thank u for the warnings and advice I will consider with Certain about building my tiny family home

I haven't had any of those issues in our tiny house...in fact, just the opposite. Our tiny house is well-sealed to keep insects out with window screens that do a fine job helping to keep flies at bay. We've been in our tiny house for almost 4 years now and I can't imagine living anywhere else now.

Yeah I live in the country in NE US and I have all that in my farmhouse. That’s just country living.

The spider. The spider... I just..no.

Take a tour of my tiny house here ukposts.info/have/v-deo/m5uLrpuQsYWck5s.html Let me rephrase some of my video so it makes more sense in respect of a tiny house. Because there is limited floor space, even a small amount of dirt or mud on the floor shows up big time on that small floor space. In terms of flies and spiders, in a typical house, 20 of them a day would almost go unnoticed but in a small space like a tiny, that’s not the case. 20 makes a huge difference each day. Yuk! Perhaps I should have explained that better in the video 😊

How can a frog enters your bathroom? You probably have holes in the tiny house.

Your problems are superficial at best. Tiny home problems would relate to actual living space issues or structural problems, or design problems. Not spiders, frogs and bats. They are superficial problems that are transferable to any living situation, whether in a small, medium or large home. Enjoy your tiny home and where you are situated, as well as the perks rather than problems associated with living in a tiny home that are also on wheels.

Wow. Sorry for the negative responses you’ve received. Hope you can figure out a way to deal with the pests.

Nice tiny house! You only need a little adjustment to country living.

Great channel, looking forward to learning more. I found you via Australian UKpostsrs facebook group. :)

Thank you so much for this video. For the past few years, I thought a tiny cottage style house would be great for me. You highlighted all of my major concerns about spiders, bugs and ( I wonder about) possibly snakes getting in. Other videos talk about mold overload and instability during major storms. I'm going with a smaller traditional home. If I had to deal with what you're experiencing, I would not be able to handle it. Wishing you the very best through it all. 🙏💕

So it's not really about tiny house problems, you have bug and animal problem. You need a walk path to your tiny house for your mud issue, pavers work. You live in Australia! you've watch Steve Erwin, you live where you have many more things you need to worry about then spiders and bats. You are sweet, I'm sorry you live out in the country it comes with obstacles. flies come with living in the country, most likely you have livestock around you or it's the bat poop. Good luck, and God bless

Get a small container with a lid where you can deposit your shoes right at the door. As far as the insects and wildlife... I'm afraid if you want to escape them you'll have to move out of the forest. You're in their territory.

Use lavender on window sills and coffee grounds for flys

Nothing exclusive in this no matter what size home you may have. It's the country, critters, bugs and dirt.

Heya Ziggy, I hope you're well. What company did you purchase your home from, I'm looking to purchase at some stage and am looking for a small mobile home. Also how much do you pay to keep your home in the park, what are the overheads included?

That spider was huge lol . Thanks for video
