    The major design flaw turned into an improvement to the tiny house. I admire your integrity to make things right.

    Nice !!👍 I think it is much better with the extra room to walk around the bed. The bed is still a good size.

    The cut off corners make it much better to get around the bed. I find that my mistakes sometimes end up being genius. 😁 great job!
    Now you’ll know what to do for the next one. 😊

    I think the tiny house is amazingKen, and actually notching out the corners of that trundle bed I think improved the flow of traffic through the home. Life’s a learning curve and you navigate through it well!! I’m excited for the next project , the gypsy caravan!!

      A trundle bed is a bed that is stored under a bed. The bed in the tiny house is a Murphy bed and that type of bed folds up to the wall.

    Hi Ken. My partner & i have had 3 Caravans & on the last one it had a fitted bedroom with the corners taken off for ease of use & we still found it to be so comfortable.
    She also found it easier to make th bed the next day.
    I like the way you adjust to the problems so well done with the tiny home & have a safe journey. Take care to you & Dan.

    Nice recovery Ken. It was after all a pilot project and only became a deadline project after it got sold so quickly in the build process. Your next tiny house is going to be the beneficiary of all you (and us) learned during your build. Your final product does look wonderful. Thanks again for taking us along the journey.....

    Hey Ken, you did a fantastic job with the Tiny House but it's tough to please a new home buyer, it's probably best that you built garages, just easy in and easy out. Hope you have a go at another Tiny home in the future but maybe a "bigger" one lol ! I'd hire you in a NY second you are the BEST !

    Great job Ken. We had two twin beds pushed together with a king 6 inch thick mattress in our spare room. When my son and his wife moved, we put the twin beds on two walls. I used a bread knife to cut the foam and ordered two twin covers like you have there. I like the way you saw the problem, changed the design and did the work. I would have been frantic, LOL. Skills pays the bills.

    Ken, you must be good at filleting fish because that technique sure worked well on the mattress😁. Hope you place a sheet of cardboard under the bed supports during transport to prevent scratches. Potholes can be nasty. Hope you put the camera in the back so we can go along on the ride😁. Great job on the build!!

    New subscriber here, in north Texas. I wanted to say that the little house looks amazing and your trouble shooting skills and attitude are beyond incredible! I know what you did with the mattress was on a time schedule and you didn't have time to order anything and wait for it to be delivered, but next time you might want to look into the RV mattresses that are available online. You can order various sizes with the corners already notched out and bedding etc. So next time you build one like this, it's something to consider.

    @brucealvarez9263 2 місяці тому +1

    It is done now but I was always wondering about putting a queen size bed in a space that size at all. Seems a full size would be more appropriate. I think it would have been faster and easier just to shrink the frame down to that of a full size mattress. That way the owners could decide if they want an innerspring mattress some time in the future. I hope you and Dan had a good trip.

    @jfrodgers7858 2 місяці тому +3

    Nice save Ken.
    (I've always slept double in a "full" size bed. But a lot of military housing can be on the less roomy side, so a queen really congested the room and a king was really out of the question. I think the difference between a full and queen is only 6 inches, so you would still be out of clearance.)

    • @rupe53
      @rupe53 2 місяці тому +1

      I feel that part of the answer is making the kitchen sink into a bathroom sized sink, then maybe making the whole house a foot or two longer. Also, making that single bed into a pair of bunk beds to gain floor space.

    Guessing the next build will have that larger kitchen sink being swapped for a corner style bathroom vanity. I guess the point here is why have a big sink for dishes and pots if there's no cooking facility? For outside cooking / cleaning maybe build a sink into one of the outside pull-out drawers?

  • @thomasaccuntius9946
    @thomasaccuntius9946 2 місяці тому +2

    Why the deadline rush? I always tried to have a extra day before I had to make a delivery to allow for problems that pop up. That way you have some time to fix them, and if there are no problems, then you can prepare your tools and truck, think thru the job and plan for any problems that may arise there. Its less stressful and gives you a breather. Good luck on your delivery and set up.

    • @kenskarpentry

    Finally got to see this. Oops, major flaw in design? I like the sliding drawers you're going to build! Rats, only 11 inches between the wood stove and the corner of the Murphy bed. So sad. I never noticed this. So you're going to do this on each end of the Murphy bed. It makes sense that you'll be able to walk by the bed to the bathroom now. So sad this had to be done. I'm glad you got this figured out before you delivered it. I hope these adjustments go easily so you can deliver the tiny house on time. I like the fill-ins you made. I think a reading light in there would be a great idea. Nice job putting the polyurethane on the new wood. Nice mattress! I hope you made your delivery time okay. Thanks for this video Ken!
