    The fee also includes utilities, parking, and trash. So, technically, he's paying 400 and change for a safe place to park his home in an area convenient to places he frequents. Sounds like a win to me. Since he doesn't own the lot itself, he has no property tax or land upkeep costs, which is also a savings to consider. Beautiful tiny. This was a great tour.

    I built a ‘trellis’ for under my full size hybrid loft mattress out of 1/2”x3/4” pine. I have the longer boards running head to toe then shorter on top side to side. That way the air from an open window at the foot can run under.
    I also have an auto-immune disease that convinced me to go tiny. In July it will be 5yrs living with Lyme and 2 strains of Bartonella. Blessings to you!

    Not one for walk in shower with all that glass (have to clean often). I always imagine if i was in shower and someone had to use toilet and there is no privacy, i would still hang a curtain on the inside to pull in those situations. Just add a shower bar.

(You probably know that gluten free, even grain-free and sugar free is advised. I have a slight thyroid issue. Reducing stress has been good. Also 'unpacking' (with the help of a good counsellor if you are inclined)any and all stressfully periods in one's life has been very helpful for me. Very best regards, Jon. Blessings yo you. G Ire

    Beautiful home. I can see why you feel good when you walk into your space. I particularly love the exterior and your shower tiles and the beams were definitely worth it. It’s upsetting to hear that getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disease had a bad financial impact though I think it’s unfortunately pretty common. Since you seem very motivated to take control of your health I’ll share that fluctuations in my blood glucose levels cause flare-ups in me. I didn’t realize the correlation until I put a continuous glucose monitor on. Symptoms which seemed totally unrelated to blood sugar subsided once I changed my diet. I pay very close attention to the glycemic index of everything I put in my mouth. None of the many doctors I’ve gone to ever suggested trying to regulate my blood sugar. I hope I’m not being overly intrusive but your comments about your diagnosis really resonated with me.

    There should be an articulating arm that does that somewhere, or even a tv lift that people use in their cabinets or lofts. Not sure where those are since that's not my wheelhouse (I use standard desk mounted arms), but I have seen them in other tiny spaces! I'd personally mount it (or a computer screen) where the scroll/calendar is so it could play double duty, tv for entertainment and then a 2nd monitor for work (while also being a better ergonomic height). You could also find one that would let you turn it portrait mode to save space too. Just my opinion.
    Hope you do find one!

    Lovely home. I hope you find a reticulated arm system for the tv mount. Or a projector screen on the large window in the lounge would work also. Roll it up when not in use. You say you would've liked to have plates on the shelf above the oven. You could get a shelf that is longer than the one with the fruit basket and books on it. Or just add another one beside it. That would allow your plates to fit and be accessible height wise. Then a lot of the items on the top shelf could go where your plates are now. Allowing more of a decluttered and functional space. And for someone like me that also doesn't like visual clutter I'm surprised you don't have doors on the storage under the stairs. You could've gone with a stackable washer dryer system. To get away from so much time washing your sheets 😆 If you use storage containers all the same colour above the couch to put your items into it won't look so cluttered either. Just a couple of tips for storage to be minimised in a small space. Nice to see the medicine cabinet behind the door and the towel rail on the door also. Utilising all the vertical space in the bathroom. If you can buy some slats for under the bed or steppers you'll only add about one to two inches of height to your mattress but it'll allow air flow under it so you won't get mould. I like the plants above the couch on the shelves. Nice home and it looks cosy 🙏😊

    Find a piece of furniture, or make one, that hides the TV and has an elevator that will raise it out of the furniture when you want to watch it, and hides it when you aren't. You already have the TV on the floor and you can customize it for your TV. I have seen these work and know someone who made this type of unit out of an old piece of furniture.

    Love your ideas and taste with the home …. I have a friend who has a tiny home ….. and his fix for the television was a drop down screen with a projector …… mostly for him to watch his sports on and Netflix . Great for saving space on walls and countertops . They also don’t use a lot of power and can be run on electric solar generators . For when there is power outages .
    You may want to consider something like this ….. projectors and screens come in all sizes and can be hidden away when not in use is desired .
    Thanks for a great video .
    I love the idea of a tiny home if I ever decide to move back to the states . But always worry about where to put one and the costs of living in a community . I’ve seen a few where they started inexpensively and then skyrocketed from community organization costs .
    I’d hate to place one somewhere and then have the inconvenience of moving down to high costs in the future .
    I’m curious if anyone has run across these issues . Anyway . Thanks again .

    They're finding a correlation between auto immune disease and C-PTSD, aka, complex or childhood PTSD. It's not widely known, at least I don't think, that extremely stressful events make your AID flare up intensely. I found this info by watching, and this is her real go by channel name: The Crappy Childhood Fairy. Her channel helped me understand a lot, like dysregulation when you get so angry you feel drunk, she has helped a lot of people. I'm not affiliated with her, don't know her, nor do I gain anything by mentioning her, other than knowing that maybe I helped another person. I'm just a hermit trying to help.

    Use a Lugoon table for the tv. Just swing it out of the way against the wall when not watching.

    If you want safer stairs the thing is people are accustomed to a 1 1/4 inch overhang of the riser by the tread. So that can be changed.
