  • Louise lives in her Tiny home that was built for her by a friend for roughly $45,000 Aud in a beautiful spot in a gum tree forest. She is a professional organizer and finds that living in a tiny house suits her well. Because prices of houses went up where she lives she was not able to buy a home and that forced her to look at other options which ended up being a blessing in disguise.

    Alternative dwellings are great when it's your choice to choose to live that way, but do you ever wonder why less of us are able to buy a traditional home?
    The answer simply is currency debasement. The answer more deeply is answered in my new podcast

    I like your tiny house. I like seeing how you can build them different in Australia then we build them here in the U.S. because of the weather. I live where it snows and up to 6 months ago could snow 5-6 feet. So my house is heavily insulated, my roof is slanted to shed the snow and I have all thermal windows and doors. And now back up propane heat. I love my tiny too. It’s the best decision I ever made. I have been a tiny houser for 5 years in April. I can’t imagine living life without coming home to my tiny house.

    What an inspirational video. Great buildout of your tiny house space. For five years I lived in a 22 ft. RV as a home-away-from-home while working in another city. I was shocked at how cozy the small space felt. My family and I really enjoyed spending time in this RV which we used both as an "apartment" for me and as a family getaway since it was so close to the beach. I will never forget how it felt spending nights there in all seasons and in good and bad weather. From that time til now I remain a fan of tiny spaces. Your space is right on point!

    Good on you, Loise! I too live in a not-so-tiny house that I built myself with all things sorted to suit my needs. I am 6'2 and all my cabinets are taller, the home is taller than typical at just under 15' to give more space in my loft so I do not feel cramped in that space. Your house is lovely and the raked angles on the exterior and steel construction, siding, and all the windows makes me feel like I am looking at a smaller version of my lovely home. Great Job!

    Isn’t it funny how people who chose to live in a spiritual, artistic, beautiful way, have to apologise for not having built assets and wealth. Guess what, you don’t need to apologise to anyone for anything. I’m that person too.

    I had a look at the prices of tiny houses today and couldn’t believe how expensive they are. Between $120 grand - $260 grand and thats without the headache of council approvals and red tape.
    It really is extremely unfortunate when governments refuse to see housing department tiny houses as an option when it could easily solve Australia’s rental crisis.

    • @soulfuljuiciness
      @soulfuljuiciness 6 місяців тому +2

      In Perth they are cheaper than that and other than one council that is still not stepping up you no longer need council approval, the one main rule is that a tiny house can't be the first house put on the property, you can only build a tiny house on property that already has a house.

    Beautiful tiny home as long as you don’t hurt yourself as we are in upper years. They need to design tiny homes for people over 60 because it’s just not ideal that older folks get so comfortable in a home that may not last long for their needs as we age.

      The good thing about the boom in tiny living is there are now quite a few companies building tiny houses that are all on one level - no loft bedrooms. Even better, one can draw up a plan and get it custom built to their liking.

      I think the clambering into bed is going to pall very quickly, especially as she knocks her knees/legs. And making the bed. Oh no, no, no. I think loft bedrooms are fine for kids, ( as long as they make their own beds. As if!) but downstairs bedroom a must for anyone over 60.

It’s not ready to move in but for us it’s about living life and not being tied to huge outgoings. We are also surrounded by windows. I love to see all around, watch the wildlife and sunset.
