    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Description:
    Join us as we explore Gemma's unique tiny house, affectionately named 'The Casita.' In this exclusive tour, Gemma shares her journey towards minimalism and the creative process of building her own cozy abode with the help of her dad. This is a story of passion, simplicity, and the joy of living small.
    Tour Highlights:
    The Kitchen: Gemma starts the tour with her simplistic yet functional kitchen. She has embraced a back-to-basics approach with a two-burner gas stove, an LPG tank, and a deep sink salvaged from an old restaurant. The kitchen embodies Gemma's minimalist cooking style and features clever storage solutions.
    Sustainable Living Elements: Notice the eco-friendly aspects like the small USB-powered fridge, solar panels, and a gray water system that emphasizes Gemma's commitment to a sustainable lifestyle.
    Dining and Living Area: The dining area doubles as a workspace, featuring a multifunctional table and storage drawers. The living area is adorned with crystals, earthy elements, and a cherished writing bureau inherited from Gemma's grandfather, blending functionality with personal sentiment.
    Fireplace and Heating: Witness the transformation brought by a fireplace made from a 9kg gas bottle, turning Gemma's house into a warm haven during colder months.
    Cost-Effective Building Strategies: Gemma shares insights into how she and her dad used innovative, cost-effective methods to build 'The Casita,' keeping the overall expenses around $22,000 USD. This included using MDF instead of plywood and accepting community donations for insulation.
    Loft Bedroom: The cozy loft features a window with beautiful views, ample storage, and is accessible via a secure, bolted ladder. It's a perfect example of efficient use of space in tiny house design.
    Bathroom: The tiny bathroom includes a compost toilet and a narrow shower, illustrating how small spaces can still cater to essential needs effectively.
    Outdoor Living: Gemma takes us outside to her pallet deck, a cactus garden, and her experimental vegetable garden, showcasing her love for the outdoors and homegrown produce.
    Rainwater Collection System: Simple yet functional, this system exemplifies Gemma's approach to sustainable living, catering to her gardening needs.
    Gemma's Tiny House Philosophy:
    Gemma reflects on her transition from backpacking to tiny house living, highlighting her preference for simplicity, functionality, and personal space.
    She emphasizes the importance of truly understanding and committing to the tiny house lifestyle before taking the plunge.
    Conclusion:
    Gemma's tiny house 'The Casita' is more than just a living space; it's a testament to her journey towards a simpler, more sustainable life. Her story is inspiring for anyone considering a shift to tiny living, proving that with creativity and determination, you can create a beautiful, functional home that aligns with your values.

    I love this little house! I really like the simple kitchen and bathroom and the big windows really make it special letting so much nice light in. I also love the coloring and siding on the outside of it. It has everything you need and is perfect for living simply. So nice your dad was able to help build it with you! thank you for giving us the tour!

    I enjoyed the tour 💜 but I was triggered a bit when the host mentioned she didn’t “like wasting money or spending money on rent”. I’m fairly certain that many of us would rather **Not** have to be caught in the Rent Rat Trap, but it is what it is. I believe if one is fortunate enough to own a piece of land (or can live on family land) then one can truly count themselves as **Blessed**. Pray for the rest of us.

    This is what all tiny homes should be like - money saving, reusing materials, self-built, simple, unique, and just shining with the owner's personality. Just can't stand tiny homes costing $200,000, standard design, all shiny and looking unlived in, and built with a lot of wastage going against the reason the tiny house movement started in the first place.
    Please show us more homes built with cost saving materials and unique designs. I love this tiny. May the sweet lady enjoy good health and happiness in her cosy home. Love the wood stove too. Is the maker in Auckland? Would love to get one.

    I would have thought her 4 solar panels would supply sufficient power to run/charge everything.
    I didn't understand about the water, did you sink a well? I understand you are collecting rain water for watering your plants.

    • @libbysevicke-jones3160
      @libbysevicke-jones3160 6 місяців тому

      As she said, three or four days of rain/ cloud the solar panels cannot change without sun. It pays to have a generator as backup.

      she also mentioned running a hose over to that yellow barrel as well as having running water for the two sinks and shower - so there must be running water hooked up to her trailer 🇨🇦🙏

  • @momof2momof2
    @momof2momof2 6 місяців тому +2

    A major expense many tiny trailer people don't talk about is the land on which they are living. Did they buy it? Rent the land? Or are they just living off of others.?

    • @renewashington791
      @renewashington791 5 місяців тому

      Great question!! I’m glad you brought it up because where one may be able to escape or avoid “wasting money on rent”, if you don’t own the land on which your Tiny Home sits, then evidently money has to be put toward **Renting** that land unless it’s bought outright. If I had a choice tho I’d rather rent land that I could perhaps own somewhere down the line.

    For your health, I would suggest remove the shoes from under your bed to somewhere near the entrance. Better not having your “shrine” next to your bed too. Of course just suggestions. Too many people don’t know what kind of spirits they invited into themselves but that manifested into sicknesses. So just take care indeed.
