35K and $500 /month? What? Are they parking it in downtown Manhattan?
Awful lot of hate in the comments here, so I’ll offer up my two cents: I
firmly believe that this couple has taken a huge step in the right
direction! Was the price of the tiny house expensive? Yes! However, the
quality is obviously there; apparently the safety aspect as well. Homes
that will be traveling on wheels do need to be built correctly! Of course,
my interest leans more toward a much less expensive do-it-yourself
approach… but, if I had the resources ($), I know a few top quality
carpenters in my area who could build a much better tiny house than I, and
I would be more than happy to pay them what they deserve for their skills!
As for renting land, who knows how much land costs in the area they
live? Property taxes…? The usual government rigamarole etc… The fact
that they apparently come from successful families – what some here in the
comments have called “privilege” – gives me hope. I grew up dirt poor
surrounded by privilege, and live in a wealthy county now still surrounded
by it ( and yes! I’m still poor). So what? I rarely ever in my life fell
for the whole jealousy thing, and even as a child confronted those who
would claim superiority because their parents dealt them a better hand in
life! SEE PAST THAT NONSENSE! It’s just more divide and conquer culturally
ingrained BS, meant to keep us all AT each other rather than WITH each
other! These two have seen through and past some of the illusions
presented to us all, and have moved away from them. Well done, if you ask
me!
As for myself, I’m looking for land, necessarily of the very cheap
variety; with the intention of living in something small. I’m thinking
permaculture, as off grid as possible, and communal! Who’s in…?
Where is the bahroom…. the shower? buth? XD
My husband and I want this more than anything else in our lives. I’d hate
to have to wait until we’re in our late 20s to early 30s for the
opportunity to roll around, because then you have to think about having
kids, and when kids are in the picture, it complicates it more than you’d
think. I’d love to get suggestions as to how to start the process of
building a tiny home ASAP.
LOL I have a 4 bedroom ranch style brick home with 3 acres of land and I
pay a $384 house payment a month. Electric is usually around $140. I win.

Bismilah. Ikutkan kita mencari bakal isteri yang bleh duduk rumah kecil.
Patutkah cari awek mat salleh. Hantaran hanya satu kontena sahaja.
Esta súper naco jajajajajajajajja
It was all cool, until I saw the toilet…
If the house is rocking’ don’t come knockin’
WHAT MAKES THIS REALLY STUPID is the fact they have a fenced in area the
size of two football fields and this little contraption. If they wanted a
small space, they did not get it. They are confined to a small area but
living on a very large piece of land. That defeats the purpose of going
small. The ONLY thing really small are their brains and visions!
500 a month for renting the land, HOLY CRAP, move people, I rent a 2
bedroom house in a gated community for 695 a month.
There is proof within their home that they don’t give a shit about saving
money.
They own one of the most vile creations known to man… A Macbook
**crowd gasps**
I know, it’s horrifying.
Never used more than 7 amps? Uhhh that air conditioner uses more than
that.
It’s not finished yet but we have been carefully counting the cost and
expect it to come in at around $10 grand (mostly new materials) There are
people using salvaged materials and getting tinies down to a couple grand
and looking very nice. Ours is 32ft with full bathroom, W/D, kitchen, a
loft and will be able to function on or off grid in sub zero temps. Lumber
yards will work deals with you if you buy a lot and you can often find
stuff on sale or clearance. The flat bed we built it on was a trade for
labor on craigslist – it came with decent tires. The main cost for us has
been the labor – if you count the hours of labor then yes it is expensive
but very worth it and still cheaper than RV’s. Cheap RV’s almost always
have water damage, mold, tiny nasty showers and just gross.

May I please use this video in a kickstarter campaign so they know what I’m
talking about to raise money to build my own?
Every youth should be allowed to make them selv a little tiny home like
that, and they should not have to pay any taxes for that, and they should
get free land to live on from the goverment, that’s my opinion. All around
the world we see housing-fascism, where the goverment or others making
money on peoples basic need for living and surviving in general. It should
be wothin the human rights to have a place to live. The world has to
change.
Really lov this little home and with you both all good. But, you shouuld
have had a shower there, i think..unless you like to have it outside…?
Bare feet and a dry bucket of human shit. cozy
$35,000 for a ‘tiny’ tiny house? Uh.. Hell no.
WOW wish this was allowed here in Holland.
brilliant !!
