I'm so happy she's taken such care and attention with her kitties and she didn't just get rid of them when they didn't fit in to her life. Good for her! Such an adorable and cozy home.
😢 the evidence here is she's lying she said she made the shell she made this she made that she didn't make anything if she would have made she would have knew what to do up under her staircase for more storage said she had all the tools all she had to do is cut it out😂😂 like it's been said you can't trust anybody she's just making a video to gain to her benefit😢 sad but true!!... the evidence is there.
She's made so many clever additions to this little house. I admire the way she took charge of what was basically a shell and turned it into a functional home -- including making it a happy place for her cats.
Yes, she did!! The catio over the trailer tongue was genius use of wasted space. Adding a shed and wrap around deck with privacy screen made it feel larger and added needed storage and living space. Tiny homes are just not livable many times, but this was great!
How about the little kitty steps on the wall? Love that! I’m a cat woman too and love making my home more functional for them and me. She did a great job! And yes..the catio is great..I have a real screened in patio and my cats spend the majority of their time out there in the fresh air. They love it
@@Drivenaway89Why would your cats be jealous unless you never let them see the outdoors where they can enjoy nature? You probably keep them locked in the house 24/7 which would be considered cruelty to animals😢
This is a realistic depiction of tiny house life, in my opinion & from my experience. As a tiny house dweller myself, the struggle with storage solutions is real, even if you do downsize dramatically, especially if someone else built your house. She has done an excellent & inspiring job of solving those challenges! Go girl!!!
@@tipsysmichigander6483 Have you priced things out lately? I remember when you could get a really nice tiny home like this for about $25,000 but after 2020 things took a sharp turn up…..I wonder how come🤔🤔🤔😑😑😑😑 #ElectionsHaveConsequences
@@tipsysmichigander6483 Many tiny homes I've seen that were built by contractors or tiny home builders have/had price tags of $90,000 or more. She did ok despite the fact that her builder was sketchy.
When posting videos like this, it's really helpful to know who the builder is. I think if this were my home, I would eventually make the outside deck area a screened in porch because cats! Hang out there, watch a movie, read a book, chilling the with kitties. Such a cozy and lovely home.
@@Connie67 yeah, I got the impression that she didn't want to call them out, since she didn't really seem super happy with their work. So many changes and alterations she's had to make to live in it.
The cats don't need to be screened in. They should be free to roam about as they want in her tiny community. I hate when cat owners keep their cats confined to the walls of their home like prisoners.
This is gorgeous. This young lady has done miracles in her tiny. Now the place is very confortable, she made by herself all the necessary equipments she needed and the result is super. Congrats girl, you did it perfectly according to your needs. Your kitties are so lucky to have you. I wish this young lady a very sweet and kind life in her tiny home. All the best for you lovely lady.
I’m in love with the gorgeous blue and white exterior and how she got a custom shed to match! Saving this video just for that inspiration! She’s done a fantastic and creative job fixing all her storage issues and making this a super cat friendly house! But, after having cats myself, and knowing the smell of the litter box I would definitely have to build a little bump out box for the litter box, on the side of the house with an extractor fan.
I agree cute house, but the cat litter box is where? I owned cats too, and the smell of their urine and feces would make a grown man cry. I like your ideal about building a bump out box with an extractor fan.
I started using Wood Shavings for an Off Grid Toilet setup and tried it in Cats litter box.. Not only did He Like it.. there's Really No Odor... He must cover better than I do, bcuz the ppl version Gets 'special', and needs taking out sooner that the Cats box.. also Much cheaper, less than $7 @ Tractor Supply..
Adorable. Love all of it. My daughter is also cat mad and lives in a 26ft vintage caravan. Her cats have enclosures off two windows. Like Ashley everything is about the cats. Well done!
I, too, am very much a Cat lady. If they come, they get fed & always fresh water. Presently, I have "20". People always want kittens so can't find homes for older ones. I spay/neuter all I can catch. Am on fixed SS income, when the vet bills arrive, that is tough for me, buttt. I, too, buy/find cat 'items'. Have about 10 cat cups. Usually find them at Dollar Tree. Kudos to you and your babies. JudyK/general Maquoketa, IA country area
What a cool young woman! Love her vibe and can-do attitude. She’s created a cozy and lovely home for her and her furry family. The cat implements in the home are clever and I’m going to steal the little cat steps along the wall idea. I wish her builder would have automatically built the storage beneath the stairs which is very standard fare. She shouldn’t have to do those… thank you for sharing!
She did such an amazing job. These builders really took advantage of her. But she turned it around and made the best of that tiny house and made all the custom improvements that truly make a house a home! After her improvements, it turned out just darling! I’m so impressed with her vision and her skills! I think she did amazing with her storage solutions. I’m thoroughly convinced that she could out build her builder any day!
Nice cross ventilation in the loft. Smart girl. You'd be surprised at how many people don't have that. Glad your Dad came to help you. Love your Great Lakes color. Lots of nice additions.
Loved how Ashley held her tools saying never with out them. Wonder if she has a tool belt to hold in the ready. Just a female vision of Tim Allen from Tool Time... No grunting but she does have the gleam when talking tools.👍👍👏🎉😺😺😺🤟
As a cat woman with 4 cats...this would be my dream tiny home. I love her little catio. For ages I've wanted to make a similar cat box attached to one of my windows, so they could have their own window box to bask in the sun in. I love the idea of the cat door in a plexiglass inset to allow them to go in and out. Plus I love all the cat stairs/catwalks, including the wall mounted bed. Honestly, all her cat themed touches are amazing. I envy her her tiny house, and her cats are beautiful. I have 3 black cats, with one being long hair, and an orange and white tabby. I'd probably want a bigger house than hers. My cats and I currently live in a 500sqft apartment, so they definitely enjoy more space.
Wow four cats in an apartment? I hope sometimes you are letting them out doors to enjoy nature. All those cats are not happy being locked inside under each other at all times. It doesn't matter how "comfortable" you think you have made their living space they are miserable not having the privilege to enjoy nature. That's cruelty to animals if that's you.😢
I really enjoy watching the videos where people show how they creatively made their life work in the space they could afford, as opposed to super expensive tiny homes with everything built-in & perfect. This girl reminds me so much of my daughter. I really loved the thoughts to her cats.
I wanted to go tiny, but a tiny house was not practical for me, so I moved into a 1 bedroom, ground floor apartment with a patio. It's near family and I love it. Your tiny house is one of the best I've seen. I love the adjustments you've made to it. The kitchen shelves are lovely and the baskets are adorable! You've given me some ideas for my bathroom, though I suspect that your bathroom would fit in it at least twice, it's still small. I do have a laundry room off of it, which is delightful. I remember how thrilled my aunt was when her younger brother installed her stackable washer/dryer unit in her front hall closet so she didn't need to go downstairs to do laundry. I feel the same way. Looking at your staircase, I think you might be best served by installing drawers on the stairs themselves, like the two you already have. The house was obviously designed and built by men who have never lived tiny, otherwise you would have storage everywhere. Tiny house guys get it, though. One guy built drop-down cupboards between the joists of his loft floor in the kitchen. Of course, my first thought was I would be permanently concussed from bumping into them when I had them open, but they did look handy. Your bedroom loft is excellent! I love the bookshelf and side table. I love that you built and adapted so much of your home furnishings. Now the catio is simply brilliant! There is no other way to describe it. And the way you fit their litter box in is perfect. However, the cat loft takes the whole design to Spoiled Princesses Level! The catwalks and steps are exceptional! My cats would love all of that. And using the ladder as a scratching post! Well, it reminds me of my 4 ft wooden step ladder that I covered with sisal, added boards to make the paint shelf and top big enough for cats to sprawl on and wrapped them in carpet. It was a lovely cat tower, especially after I added the hammock, which they loved. They could lay in it and watch the birds. It was also a lot cheaper than the cat towers sold in stores. I do believe that the outside of your home is, perhaps, the best part! The deck is beautiful! It makes your home so welcoming and the chairs you built are gorgeous! So comfortable! I think your little table and chairs are really cute too. I love that your shed matches your house. I am also amazed at how organized everything is. I would love to see another tour of your home after you get it finished.
Kudos to you for taking a Tiny shell and turning it into a very functional and cozy space! What a confidence builder to make the additions and changes as you go. BTW: the Adirondack chairs are something you should hold onto for the rest of your life. I know your dad has got to be proud of your accomplishments. Way to go...............
Adorable! Love the matching shed and her tool chest. The catio is ingenius! Thanks for not letting your cats roam freely. Too dangerous! As far as removing the bathroom door, you could always use a tension rod and curtain. It would help, too, with retaining heat in the bathroom after showering. Always open then to air out. Enjoy!!
No. Letting cats roam is not dangerous especially in a tiny community where you know everybody. I never lived in a tight knit community though we had many cats when I was growing up. We lived in the heart of the city and our cats were free to come and go as they pleased. If you train them they will never go too far away. Our cats would always stay close enough to hear us call them when it was time to come in. Cats need to have freedom to roam. That is their nature. When you deprive them of their natural proclivities, you make yourself to be a cruel, selfish abuser who should not have the privilege of owning any pets.
@revekat2053 We would take them out in the yard with us to play as little as 6 weeks old. When we sat out on our porch every day, they would be out there with us where we can see them. As they got a little older (4 to 5 months), they were free to venture all about our yard and the vacant lot that was next to our house. They never went more than a block away. Everyone on our street knew they belonged to us. They were trained to come when we called out for them. Cats can be trained just like dogs. It's that lazy careless owners don't care to put the effort in to do it.
@@emmas1082 For a 2bd 2ba 1150 sq ft apartment in one of the nicest suburbs in Virginia, I paid $110 for electricity and only $50 for Fios internet. Water was like $30/ month. How much utilities do you need in a tiny home? 😂 The footprint of this tiny home is so small and this is like 2x the cost of a large apartment. Maybe the lot rent is excessive as she doesn’t own the land. That means she’s not paying property tax out of that amount. It still seems quite high if the place is paid off.
@@Originalman144 What she is doing is cheaper than buying land. The costs involved with land: permits, surveying, install sewer or septic, electrical and outlet for the home, land pad, create a driveway, property taxes, insurance, etc., can be very expensive. If she utilized a mortgage or a loan to do that, it would cost more than $550 a month to pay off and she would pay interest each month. For $550 she can socialize with people, utilize the facilities, and not deal with all of the above. Also, maybe it is a good location near everything? The cost to buy land in a good area, near everything, is expensive. Depending on zoning she might not be able to put her tiny home on it, or otherwise get away with just living on the property in camping mode- but if she was able to, it might not be very comfortable.
I would add a barn door to the bathroom and she can move the items she has on the wall where the barn door would rest no loss of space and less money than a pocket door
Beautiful little TINY HOME!!!!! I love cats. I have 2 cats myself, and I feed about 7 wild cats so I got my hands full. I love all of them. Good Luck with your house . GOD BLESS YOU HONEY🕊🌈 FROM A SISTER IN CHRIST🕊
You are so upfront and truthful about yourself and your home and how it wasn’t all like a big satisfying feeling and because of your true feelings it’s so much easier for us to be prepared and to not set ourselves up for such a high expectation that we are then disappointed because you have just about everyone building it up so much and never say anything negative so I already love your intro you also told about the contractor and I have heard some very bad things about some shady builders and so many scammers now a days I am shocked when a homeowner gets scammed and they lose because our laws protect the crooks . You have to prove that you are not wrong and they are so good at this they know the laws and hardworking homeowners are not thinking about such things!!! I you are really doing well and love your catio but your entire home is great
That was fun!...going thru the house with her telling us about it. Her joy is contagious to me. Love seeing how pets can be incorporated into tiny homes, esp when their happiness matters this much! I have 5 rescued cats, so good to know that 3 in house works! The home seems very cozy, comfy for all living there & cuz' she builds things, makkes the home unique & purr-fect for all 4 of them! Thanks for sharing!
I love this lady She is a do-it-yourself person. I have learned a lot watching this video. Loooove all the kitty cats and cat mugs etc. As a cat lover this video speaks to me 😸😸😸
I love this house, this woman, those cats, that outdoor living area, the cat loft, even that spacious park! If i weren't a married farmer, i would want to be her tiny house neighbor! Best wishes to her.
The builder looks like Incredible Tiny Homes located in east Tennessee. Love the wood everywhere! Now this manufacturer uses barn doors instead of regular doors for bathroom and bedroom doors. They are good quality and slide on a track. Very clever lady to make all the shelves, etc. to make it hers!
So many awesome things about this tiny home and owner. Love all the cat features! ❤️ I really wish Canada, and specifically Ontario, had tiny home communities like the US does. Love the deck and love the shed!
Hi Ashley. I love your home, your cats and your catio! I also live in a tiny home in Tennessee and have 2 cats. I have part of my catio built, but haven't finished it yet. That will be a spring project. You've done some very cleaver things for storage. Great job. I like everything you've done inside for the cats too! Enjoy your home!
How wonderful that she learned how to do a lot of the building herself. And I'm a cat lady, so I will be taking tips for the future when I finally have my first home.
Love your tiny house Ashley. The whole home is very cosy and the colour of the exterior is nice. You three beautiful cats are adorable. I like cats as well. You are very talented those chairsare nice alsoyour cute little bedside cabinet.
Awesome space!!! You could hang painters cloth curtains on your porch for added privacy. Paint a very wide horizontal stripe on them for fun. Love your cats❤❤
@@daviduribe3111 that's more than my rent in England, and I have front and back gardens and the actual brick built bungalow too! Full size rooms, storage, my hallway cupboard is almost as big as her shed! I also have two sheds outside and a big loft. I do think, for what actually amounts to a small square of grass, that's a ridiculous amount to charge her for "rent". Mine is £85 a week, which is approximately $110 x 4 = $440 a month.
The only thing I would do different is build a covered cat box area out on the deck or under the catio. Just my way to keep the box out of a tiny area.
Excellent outlook, and determination to meet her needs. I like the ongoing plan to improve storage. Great job making it your own place, and your kitties. 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💓
Love your not jammed into a parking lot community as I keep seeing. Love the exterior colour, n the wood interior, but I’m a bit stunned of the zero storage solutions the builder made for your home interior causing you to have to come up with it all and modify what he did do to max your space. 🍻
An enjoyable video. It’s always good to see someone creative and happy. Sweet kitties. I helped a friend build an outside cat area. We made it to house the cat box. Definitely the best idea. No more cat litter box smell or cat litter tracked in the house.
NEVER give any contractor money up front. Pay as they do the work. This is what the US Builder Association recommends.
Unfortunately, sometimes there's no choice.
Never give them money to buy materials, buy it yourself or go shop with them.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they are violating the constitution but you don't know your own rights
@@BrittMFH Correct I unfortunately fell victim to A building company who did not produce My Tiny Home. 😩
I think it's standard to pay 50% before they start so read reviews
You have a better cat set up than people do in huge homes. You have some lucky cats!❤
I'm so happy she's taken such care and attention with her kitties and she didn't just get rid of them when they didn't fit in to her life. Good for her! Such an adorable and cozy home.

It's that lazy careless owners don't care to put the effort in to do it.
Beautiful! $34,000 is very cheap…she got a great deal. The wood is gorgeous⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
But still $550 a month for lot rent. That’s ridiculous actually. Property tax, insurance, maintenance too?
@@Originalman144 if that includes water, sewer, Utilities, etc., it is not that bad.
@@emmas1082 For a 2bd 2ba 1150 sq ft apartment in one of the nicest suburbs in Virginia, I paid $110 for electricity and only $50 for Fios internet. Water was like $30/ month.
How much utilities do you need in a tiny home? 😂 The footprint of this tiny home is so small and this is like 2x the cost of a large apartment.
Maybe the lot rent is excessive as she doesn’t own the land.
That means she’s not paying property tax out of that amount. It still seems quite high if the place is paid off.
@@Originalman144 What she is doing is cheaper than buying land. The costs involved with land: permits, surveying, install sewer or septic, electrical and outlet for the home, land pad, create a driveway, property taxes, insurance, etc., can be very expensive. If she utilized a mortgage or a loan to do that, it would cost more than $550 a month to pay off and she would pay interest each month. For $550 she can socialize with people, utilize the facilities, and not deal with all of the above. Also, maybe it is a good location near everything? The cost to buy land in a good area, near everything, is expensive. Depending on zoning she might not be able to put her tiny home on it, or otherwise get away with just living on the property in camping mode- but if she was able to, it might not be very comfortable.
@@Originalman144 …..digging a well or piping water in? Even if she is close to all the utilities it is still expensive installing them in a lot.
This is one of the nicest tiny houses Ive seen. Very creatively finished and love the cat adaptions...
Cats are so beautiful.
Very cool tiny house! Love how she made extra storage areas and also the cat spaces for her cats are awesome!😊
Such a nice home! Love the cat friendly upgrades such a thoughtful cat mom! ❤
The house is beautiful. I love it❤. & I love the cat walks, it’s nice for the cats to have their own space and little cat walks.
Love the color of your house, great cardio, and nice woodwork/carpentry! Well done!!
Somebody's kitties are purrfectly happy
I would add a barn door to the bathroom and she can move the items she has on the wall where the barn door would rest no loss of space and less money than a pocket door
I love your place and it's suited well for the kitties. Love all the wood.
Beautiful little TINY HOME!!!!! I love cats. I have 2 cats myself, and I feed about 7 wild cats so I got my hands full. I love all of them. Good Luck with your house . GOD BLESS YOU HONEY🕊🌈 FROM A SISTER IN CHRIST🕊
Best home ever. Love the shed, patios and the catio!!! So many excellent ideas. Love your builds!!!
You are so upfront and truthful about yourself and your home and how it wasn’t all like a big satisfying feeling and because of your true feelings it’s so much easier for us to be prepared and to not set ourselves up for such a high expectation that we are then disappointed because you have just about everyone building it up so much and never say anything negative so I already love your intro you also told about the contractor and I have heard some very bad things about some shady builders and so many scammers now a days I am shocked when a homeowner gets scammed and they lose because our laws protect the crooks . You have to prove that you are not wrong and they are so good at this they know the laws and hardworking homeowners are not thinking about such things!!! I you are really doing well and love your catio but your entire home is great
That was fun!...going thru the house with her telling us about it. Her joy is contagious to me. Love seeing how pets can be incorporated into tiny homes, esp when their happiness matters this much! I have 5 rescued cats, so good to know that 3 in house works! The home seems very cozy, comfy for all living there & cuz' she builds things, makkes the home unique & purr-fect for all 4 of them! Thanks for sharing!
Best build with modifications I've seen, but then I love cats! 😹😻😹
I love this lady
She is a do-it-yourself person.
I have learned a lot watching this video.
Loooove all the kitty cats and cat mugs etc.
As a cat lover this video speaks to me 😸😸😸
As a person with5 cats I always wondered how I would pull this off, your cat space is great!
I love this woman. She's so creative and personable.
She's done a great job customising the house to her own needs.
Nice work! Congratulations!
Great storage and cat space ideas.❤❤❤❤
It's nice to see one of these episodes where the owner has cats! I've always wondered how you could accommodate multiple cats comfortably.
Do not use chicken wire for cats. It can cut paws and mouths, is not predator proof and rusts and breaks easy. Use 1/2" x 1/2" hardware cloth is best.
I love this house, this woman, those cats, that outdoor living area, the cat loft, even that spacious park! If i weren't a married farmer, i would want to be her tiny house neighbor! Best wishes to her.
I’m a builder. Near you. Overall I think your builder did ok, especially for the $.. however, NEVER give money, especially very much, up front.
The builder looks like Incredible Tiny Homes located in east Tennessee. Love the wood everywhere! Now this manufacturer uses barn doors instead of regular doors for bathroom and bedroom doors. They are good quality and slide on a track. Very clever lady to make all the shelves, etc. to make it hers!
I was thinking the same thing that the builder was ITH.....
Thinking for that price it wasn’t ITH!
@@judith3774 🤣💯❤️
ITH does not build cedar lined showers.
ITH are more caring and thoughtful when they build their tiny homes. I'm sure they weren't the builders for this home.
So many awesome things about this tiny home and owner. Love all the cat features! ❤️ I really wish Canada, and specifically Ontario, had tiny home communities like the US does. Love the deck and love the shed!
Ellie, Landon and Lulu are adorable❤😊YOU did a wonderful job on your build😊❤
I love her little house!! And her cats 🐈 🐈⬛ 🐈 as a fellow cat lady, I love how she accommodated them 😻
This is my dream home. Exactly what I imagine for me and my cats.
Love her, love the cats, love the cat mugs, and the tiny home!
Great job making your tiny home for your own style and needs! You definitely seem very happy and excited about your space. 😊
Hi Ashley. I love your home, your cats and your catio! I also live in a tiny home in Tennessee and have 2 cats. I have part of my catio built, but haven't finished it yet. That will be a spring project. You've done some very cleaver things for storage. Great job. I like everything you've done inside for the cats too! Enjoy your home!
Love the cat house!😻
I love all the extra adjustments made for your fur babies . its a cozy tiny home and i love the colour.
How wonderful that she learned how to do a lot of the building herself. And I'm a cat lady, so I will be taking tips for the future when I finally have my first home.
Love your tiny house Ashley.
The whole home is very cosy and the colour of the exterior is nice. You three beautiful cats are adorable. I like cats as well. You are very talented those chairsare nice alsoyour cute little bedside cabinet.
Hey cat lady! Nice job!❤
You rock Ashley!
Your tiny house is cute as a button! Love your kitties. I can def picture you opening a cat cafe and making a go of it!!❤
You have a beautiful tiny house and I love all the thought and care you put into your house for your 3 cats...thank you for sharing 💜🇦🇺
I’m not even a cat lady but i absolutely love the idea of opening your own cat cafe with your cat mugs! So cute!
Awesome space!!! You could hang painters cloth curtains on your porch for added privacy. Paint a very wide horizontal stripe on them for fun. Love your cats❤❤
Amazingly beautiful 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Ashley did such an amazing job! Wow! Love those kitties as well.
Nice. Lovely living. But the rent should be max 200 $. Do not see why they need to charge more than that.
Her lot rent is quite reasonable for a bank-financed tiny home park.
@@daviduribe3111 that's more than my rent in England, and I have front and back gardens and the actual brick built bungalow too! Full size rooms, storage, my hallway cupboard is almost as big as her shed! I also have two sheds outside and a big loft.
I do think, for what actually amounts to a small square of grass, that's a ridiculous amount to charge her for "rent".
Mine is £85 a week, which is approximately $110 x 4 = $440 a month.
@@tamielizabethallaway2413don’t tell where you live… that’s how cost of living goes up. Everyone shows up. 😂
@@angelinimartini haha 😁
The prices for EVERYTHING in America is terrifying. I don't know how half the people survive honestly! 😳
😘😘😘
Many trailer parks charge 500 to 900 per month.
So adorable. I love all the cat mugs and the cat patio.❤
She got a great tiny house for that price. I love the additions she made to make her and her cats comfortable.
love how she set it up and all the cat things she added
Your tiny house is so cute....I love it and love how you accommodated all your kitties :)
Love her energy! She’s a go getter and not superficial
Luv your tiny house and the additions for your kitty cats🐱!!! 😊❤
The kitties are so CUTE!!!!
The only thing I would do different is build a covered cat box area out on the deck or under the catio. Just my way to keep the box out of a tiny area.
Definitely planning on that!
Excellent outlook, and determination to meet her needs. I like the ongoing plan to improve storage. Great job making it your own place, and your kitties. 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💓
Very nice tiny house, you are very organized like me because I like everything in its place and clean in my one bedroom apartment in Orlando Florida.
Love your not jammed into a parking lot community as I keep seeing.
Love the exterior colour, n the wood interior, but I’m a bit stunned of the zero storage solutions the builder made for your home interior causing you to have to come up with it all and modify what he did do to max your space. 🍻
Built so owner can put in storage to meet individual needs. Decreases cost too. Kind of like a blank slate.
@@denisephillips9269 oooh thx!🍻
An enjoyable video. It’s always good to see someone creative and happy. Sweet kitties. I helped a friend build an outside cat area. We made it to house the cat box. Definitely the best idea. No more cat litter box smell or cat litter tracked in the house.
Love the to shed! And, of course, The fact that she maintained her commitment to her cats even though her situation changed.
