  7. @Macsinvideo on February 25, 2025 at 7:48 pm

    They’re nice but the decor.. too cluttered.

  15. @judyzeigler3980 on February 25, 2025 at 7:55 pm

    Very nice homes. Thanks for the tips.

  16. @MissEmmyluv on February 25, 2025 at 7:57 pm

    Do they all have an escape window from lofts ?

  17. @adventuringwithallison5630 on February 25, 2025 at 7:58 pm

    I’ve seen a few videos where people all say it’s better to have the door on the passenger side but I don’t understand why that is anybody got some answers?

  18. @giovannicorraliza8552 on February 25, 2025 at 8:00 pm

    Please see Revelation 14:12 & 18:23,run away from the PCR test, alarming the things people have shown

  19. @Kaha-ow1xt on February 25, 2025 at 8:01 pm

    Just curious, seeing the snow on the ground – how do people incorporate insulation so the space stays comfortable?

  20. @miandexplorer5487 on February 25, 2025 at 8:05 pm

    Wow…nice

  21. @MeatCooker on February 25, 2025 at 8:07 pm

    thank you for this! Very helpful. You did a great job with your designs on your tinies. I would definitely check it out if up in your area.

  27. @zaradimple3980 on February 25, 2025 at 8:11 pm

    I think this tiny houses are really taking on Praise the Lord, praying that no one else will have to be homeless! And the government should help them with a small mortgage without interest or with minimum interest, if they have to!. Cosy and loving.

  28. @motowninvestor on February 25, 2025 at 8:11 pm

    Asking a builder for a bump out . . . 10K extra.
    I enjoyed the video though.

  29. @illogicalstuff6099 on February 25, 2025 at 8:13 pm

    The what? Did I hear tiny dicks? or I heard it totally wrong? O_o

  30. @jfdesignsinc.innovationsid1583 on February 25, 2025 at 8:15 pm

    Did she start off with “tiny dicks” ?

  31. @bouchissefamily9299 on February 25, 2025 at 8:15 pm

    ❤❤❤❤ c’est vraiment magnifique 😊

  32. @thehomeconstructiontoolcha857 on February 25, 2025 at 8:15 pm

    My Tip for owning any trailer that will be parked more than several years……
    Sell the New set of Tires, While they still have Value….
    Old tires, any tire after about 5 years old. Can fall apart.. Loose a Tread… And Kill you or Someone…
    So many times I’ve seen Motor homes & Trailers with unsafe New Looking Tires…..
    Check the Date on when Made.
    they go by week & Year.
    (3216) would be 32nd week of
    2016…
    … get a Discount for old Tires…
    it’s 5/20 now. so almost 4 years old. on this example….

  33. @luzvimindareeve8389 on February 25, 2025 at 8:17 pm

    So helpful, thnk you!

    Thanks for your imput! I wonder why spiral starcases are not used! Wouldn’t it take less floor space?

  36. @rosemarywilliams9969 on February 25, 2025 at 8:22 pm

    Ventilation and moisture Control are my two biggest concerns, living in a condo we’re bathrooms and bedrooms don’t have good windows and ventilation systems, you want to make sure that you can control that so your walls and your materials and everything doesn’t get messed up.

  37. @PlanetMojo on February 25, 2025 at 8:22 pm

    I’m currently making a design tool for tiny houses that I plan to put online. It will design the shell and give a cost upfront and do most of the pre-engineering. It’s a work in progress but coming along nicely. I’m looking for input by people that are planning to build a tiny house sometime soon so i can add the features people are looking for.

  38. @RED-cy7ig on February 25, 2025 at 8:24 pm

    Really great tips. I had never though about the wheel wells or about installing a bathroom shower first before the walls went up.

  39. @cgelmore488 on February 25, 2025 at 8:25 pm

    I would do anything to know how to frame the roof out. 🙁

  40. @Sassyglbeauty on February 25, 2025 at 8:25 pm

    Man. I absolutely love every one of their homes. How fun that they were able to do themed homes. Much more fun then when designing just one home and can’t decide which style u wanna go with. Lol. I love the Victorian one the best. Then I see the modern and think, oh! That’s cute too. All of them are magnificent.

  41. @kittykate168 on February 25, 2025 at 8:28 pm

    Wow, I love it ❤️

  42. @lechodecaro-caroline1969 on February 25, 2025 at 8:28 pm

    really helpful! Thanks

  43. @maxpower9848 on February 25, 2025 at 8:31 pm

    Mistake number one… trying to live in a shed

  44. @Sarahdrybones on February 25, 2025 at 8:31 pm

    So stinking cute. Where is this place?

  45. @drew8642 on February 25, 2025 at 8:32 pm

    I wonder how most tiny houses would hold up being very mobile a lot of the time? Not many are made to be light weight or aerodynamic but that’s not the main goal of most I guess. Definitely need a heavy haul truck to move it.

  46. @cherryjones7560 on February 25, 2025 at 8:36 pm

    Do you build tiny houses for others?

  47. @danielamoronigutierrez1989 on February 25, 2025 at 8:40 pm

    Hay una persona en Córdoba Argentina que puso tu nombre a su tiny

  48. @zumezoom9593 on February 25, 2025 at 8:42 pm

    i have a serious problem. everytime they say tiny digs, i hear a bad word instead. I’m so childish and immature

  49. @fayee8986 on February 25, 2025 at 8:42 pm

    Love the Victorian house it appears to be very light gray and white trim wish we could have seen the inside very lovely and unique

  50. @PlanetMojo on February 25, 2025 at 8:43 pm

    I’m looking at tons of tiny houses to kind of gauge what to put in a tiny house design program I’m working on. I’m really trying to simplify the design process so that it is cheaper and easier to build. Thank you for the tips on what to avoid!
