- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- With temperatures below zero for a few days, our pipes froze AGAIN for the THIRD time since we've been living tiny! We decided to move out of our home until we could figure things out. See what happens over the course of this past week!

#3 SO NO MORE TINY HOUSE? WHAT'S NEXT?
►Even though we are no longer personally living Tiny, we are far from done investing in the Tiny House movement! There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes -- stay tuned for some big updates! In the meantime, you'll see our regular family friendly content on Saturday's at 11:00a CST!

You are not giving up..you are trusting the Lord is guiding your footsteps!! Love, Hugs, and well wishes to you!!
I live in a travel trailer. I use those colored pool noodle s from the dollar store . I put them over my hose and pipes. Good luck!✌️❤️
My prayer is that you all will be fine, as the weather warms up, and that you have a safe and healthy delivery experience for both you and the baby. These are challenging, but exciting times for you all as a young couple.
Thank you! We so appreciate the prayers!! ❤
Hey Whatcman Reports
Yes...prayers UP, blessings DOWN! Amen? I'm sending them up too.
God bless you! ⚘
For health and safety reasons great idea to leave
Blessings to you Sis Deborayah and your family.
You may want to stay for a month or two. Wife and baby first, and then you can get back to the tiny house. You are both level headed and are building a beautiful family, you got this.
Go watch the latest episode of: mybigtinyhouse. She lives in Canada, talks about winterizing her tiny home, the problems she just encountered and how she addressed them.
I live in Louisiana, when we have a freeze coming, they tell us to let our faucets drip or trickle. For some scientific reason, it keeps our pipes from freezing! Sorry this happened to y'all!
That will but if it’s too cold pipes can still freeze, if you can insulate your pipes do that too.
Is what we do in Alabama in cold winter keep the faucets drip so they won’t freeze and it really helps
I live in Chicago & they tell us the same thing
Just FYI - It's because water comes to your house in underground pipes. Underground it's always about 50 degrees. Dripping your faucets constantly brings a little of that warmer water into your above-ground house pipes.
It can also relieve pressure if your pipes do end up still freezing to keep them from busting.
It's tough now, but look at it this way: the understanding you are getting now about tiny house living in extreme cold will serve yoh well when you are working with your tiny house community. You have family and love and each other. Good luck with everything! And best wishes for you both and the baby!
AMEN & AMEN!!! GOD MERCIFULLY GRACES & BLESSINGS TO THIS WONDERFUL & BEAUTIFUL COUPLE! 💕
It's not just you. It's the temps in Texas. It's just to cold PERIOD.
too cold.
@@acajudi100 you know what she meant though 🙄
To prevent your pipes from freezing again, keep a small trickle of water running in the sink, when temps are below freezing. Moving water doesn't freeze. Hope this helps you. Congrats on the pregnancy, we're rooting for you guys.
This is a challenging time for Texas. When this cold spike brake , you will be a Tiny Home expert. Bless you guys.
Yea it was pretty bad for the tiny folks in Texas. We're in Missouri now though. It was colder but we never lost power.
Just think of it this way, at the end of this, you can use your knowledge to help the residents of your park/community.
Praying for Mom bear and her cub. God bless them and allow her to healthy and have a healthy birth and a healthy baby. Please, let them both heal and recover well without surgeries and other anomalies. In Jesus Christ name. Amen.
Amen!! Thank you for that!!
In agreement, in Jesus' name. Amen.🙏❤🙏
I feel so scared when I see Marek literally underneath the house! 😰 But how useful it is to be handy and good at DIY if you live in a tiny house. Glad all is well now! 😀
Keep trusting God. He never fails no matter what it looks like.
María Reyes is praying for a little bit of heat where you can stand it, where you won’t be to could, the blood of Jesus & HOLY Ghost protect u In Jesus Name
I really REALLY needed to hear that right now 🥰 thank you Janet☺️
@@biancanorthern8690 I thought I would tell you again today. :) God is always with us... he loves YOU more than the birds in the air and they never have to worry.
@@cmcdonald5319 thank you very much for that I really appreciate those kind words sometimes we need to be reminded of that 🥰🙏🏾
I LIKE THE THE FACT,THAT BABY WILL BE WARM,SAFE AND COZY
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLACE
TO BRING BABY HOME.
STAY WARM.STAY SAFE ,STAY
BEAUTIFUL.
AMEN & AMEN!!!
I was always told to leave a small trickle of water going in severely cold temperatures
Yeah that’s the rule in my state in SC. They remind you to drip the faucets if it goes to 32
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!! LEARNED THAT WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID! NOW THE NEWS PEOPLE ARE FINALLY TELLING THE WORLD TO DO THIS!
I was going to tell them same till I saw yours
Same here. But our local weatherman (all the stations) said w/our -18 (actual nightly 🥶) and average 4 daily temps, to run water from the exterior oriented faucets “the width of a #2 pencil”. Our faucets ran 72 hours STRAIGHT, then addl four nights, we never froze up! 😳
While I cringe @ thought of our next water bill, so far, have no PLUMBING BILLS. Sending prayers for everyone w/o home comforts, and esp our fav tiny home family ❤️
I used to live in Alaska, where we lived in a duplex that had a crawl space that was open air, much like your tiny house underneath it. We would always leave the water trickling in all of the sinks as it is harder to freeze moving water. This is one of the reasons why rivers hardly ever freeze, even if the lakes they are connected to are already frozen. If you have a flushable toilet, I recommend flushing it a couple times a night too.
Leave your faucets dripping so they won't freeze. Also found out on the news that PVC pipes don't do well in extreme cold. Not sure if you can try to start changing those out etc.
When the weather gets this cold keep the water running.
Being smart is knowing when to retreat and come back later. I've been through all this and it's exhausting. Spring will come and you can deal with it.
Y’all are a breath of fresh air! Praying for a safe labor and delivery and postpartum healing. God bless y’all.
Thank you for the prayers!! 🙏🏾❤🥰
I just want the two of you safe. Sending virtual soul hugs and support. Blessings continued.
Gernators ,collect water in the rig. Keep on inside at all times. At least 30 bottles. Heat wrap your tanks.they are made for RV. Oiled filled radiators heaters. Infared heaters. An also cover the under- neath of the tiny homes. Then cover the windows ar night time.an block air flow inside. I been in a rv 5 years, but get electric blankets too
Made for RV
😲Yikes!!!! Call the manufacturer. Or call a professional... bless you two!!! Brrrrrr!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Maybe a camper home water tank heater will help. They are designed to go under a mobile home and heat the water tanks to keep them and the pipes out side of the unit from freezing.from freezing.
Would it help to talk w Tiny House Builders like Minimaliste who build for cold weather environments?
God is SOVEREIGN! I am so glad that HE answered prayer(s).Stay safe!
Amen!! 🙏🏽
You made the right decision at the right time. It will all work out in the end.
Glad you and the baby are ok. A blessing the pipes did not break.
Yes praise the Lord! 🙏🏽🙌🏾
Sooo happy everything worked out and you guys didn’t have to spend any extra money on repairs. Praying for a safe healthy delivery for you and your little one in the next few weeks🤗❤️
Thank you for the prayers!! 🥰🙏🏾
One thing...always leave a trickle of water going ALL the time in the winter!!
The absolute resignation and just DONE-ness in his face when the video started 😂😂 I had to sub. Wishing the 3 of yall all the best ❤
😂😂 he was so over it!! Welcome to the channel!!
Stay safe. If you haven’t done so shut off the main water valve - just in case you have additional problems with the pipes once they thawed out
OMG!! May God put A Shield of Protection around Your Family 🙏 I'm in an apartment in Texas, and the challenges have been Horrific 😑 Also, lived in a trailer after hurricane Katrina, I'm from New Orleans... Take Care, Stay Safe, Blessings ❤️🙏
Hope it has gotten better for you in TX!
@@the_bush_family still have water issues... they're saying no hot water until next week 😑🙏🙏
@@-Adrienne oh my goodness! We will keep you in our prayers!
Hey guys have you tried leaving a drip in your water pipes...they won't freeze if its running slowly
That could flood the place if it’s done wrong.
@@sandrafraser7015 common sense says drip....drip...drip
@@WhollyLivin you solved the problem. :)
Love how’s he’s all about the temporary house and she’s just sitting there digging into her food 😆💖
I have 2 ,nesting is real😩good luck girl! 💕
😂😂👍🏽
I was hoping y’all could stay with family but glad you’re safe. Definitely need to be settled before baby comes. Maybe you guys will be the inventors of the proper way to insulate/ build These tiny homes to make it through harsh winters.
You guys do what is best for you. The weather has been horrific this winter even in the Midwest. I understand. In Chicago people have had their roofs cave in due to the tremendous amount on snow on the roofs. You are still young and will find where you can put your roots down. I will continue to pray for you two. Life is not always easy, but even in this you stick together which is wonderful. You have to do what's best for you and not for us. You also have a baby coming and I know that you wouldn't want her to be in a cold place. Be blessed!
AMEN & AMEN!!!
I had a water loss in my condo and I lived in a hotel like yours 5-6 months. I wish you guys the best. Praise God you have a place to stay for now ❤
Thank God for his grace, mercy, and favor! So glad that you found the peoblem area and no damage at that! Prayerfully these temperatures will warm up soon. Baby girl Bush hang in there a little longer and Mama stay calm and in the words of the great Whitley Gilbert, "relax, relate, release". Lol! Y'all continue to be blessed! God's got cha! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿👍🏿👍🏿😊😊💕💕
Amen!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾 And thankfully it's warming up already! ❤
congradulation Bush family on fixing your house problem and the wife and baby being ok. Try to get some rest and be stress free for the new baby. I pray that she comes on time.
Y'all got me sending up praises and repenting for EVER taking running water for granted!!
😂
You guys should buy the two bedroom tiny house
Praying for you guys. God can make a way out of no way. He can do it!!!!
Try putting skirting around your house, and let your fuses run at a drip or trickil. GOD BLESS.
I am a full-time rv'er in Tennessee whenever the temp goes below 32 we drip our facuets. By the grace of God we have survived 9 straight days below freezing, today is the 1st day it's above 32
The HOT water tap?
Just asked my husband he said to drip both hot and cold. Turn faucets on and let them drip, especially if you do not have a basement and you are on a slab.
Videos like this will really help others in the future.
This is just so much added stress to you both but especially Ko. I know you will do what’s best for you. We always have you guys in our prayers. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay blessed. God bless you always.
I'm Haitian and couldn't live anywhere in the US but South Florida. Guys, you won't understand, my body just can't take the cold at all, after a lifetime in the Caribbean. I'm fresh like a rose in 95 degrees while everyone is sweating, and crawling under a bed the minute it gets below 70. I'm happy you guys are safe. 🥰🥰🥰
Edit: I commented before the "scare part". Ko, now is the time to take those garlic pills. I am not a pill person, but double down on the garlic in your food and ask your mom for garlic tea. I don't know if you'll find soursoup (kowosòl), fruit and leaves. Eat the fruit or make a smoothie with it, hang the leaves in your home. Papaya leaves in your bath water.
I'm sorry to go all Haitian Auntie on you but we want you to stay healthy and deliver safely.

Yea you know my mom has already started telling me about the garlic haha I'm taking it raw.
Good luck finding soursop, might have to order. Found it at HEB once, and one of the Central Markets in Dallas had it.
Careful with the papaya leaves. They're not considered safe during pregnancy. I had low platelets when I was pregnant and I really wanted to take em but what I read gave me concern.
Im just the opposite. We were in southwest Florida for 25 yrs. I was always sweating. We moved back to Ohio in 2006. I still get hot in the summer.
So happy to hear that you were able to fix the frozen pipes, I hope they don’t freeze again! I’ve sen that several people already adviced you to keep the water dripping and I agree with them, that’s necessary when it’s that cold. Hope you all are feeling well and good luck with the delivery of baby girl!
She is such a beautiful mother to be. I love her beautiful hair. I have a lot of family in TX so I am praying for you guys.
Thank you!! We're actually in Missouri so we never lost power but it was beyond cold!
I love how her comfort spot is your shoulder 🥰 so cute lol y’all stay safe!
I am so Happy Bush Family that everything is working out Well, Baby is on her way! Blessings!❤️🙏🏽
Time to head back to Florida 🌞🌴. So glad it’s all fixed now. God is good! All the time!
And all the time, God is good! 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤
That is a great place to stay temporarily. The "bun" will stay in the oven until done! In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
Amen!! 🙏🏾 Thank you!
Praise the Lord, happy to hear that things are getting better for you all. Stay warm for your baby coming.
Keep pushing like you always have.
Everything is a learning experience.
👍🏽
I live in Kansas City so I know exactly just how cold it was last week. My friend (he lives in an RV in Vegas) and I were talking about the challenges of people living in tiny homes or RV’s in the extreme temps that we had last week. So glad that we are getting a break in temps and I pray that you don’t have any major repairs as a result of the last 2 weeks extreme freeze. God bless you all.
Prolong temperatures below 10 degrees will freeze ANY pipes. You did real well till subzero numbers. Your tiny house is in good shape as far as frost protection of your pipes.
I am really happy for you. I pray for your total protection. Your joy is just infectious; you put a smile on my face, even though you were the ones going through tough times 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Sweet hearts-put your feet up and relax-its all going to be okay.
Awwww I’m so glad that everything worked out in the end and Ko and Baby are fine too. Loved the joy Ko had! It’s in the little things for sure! Sending you all the prayers for a peaceful, safe and comfortable delivery.
Wifey is gorgeous!! I pray for your restoration and safety. 🙏
🥰❤ thank you!! 🙏🏾
@@the_bush_family indeed!!
Sorry to hear things are rocky or icy, I should say. Have you contacted the builder for tips? Praying the next 4 weeks goes smoothly for you guys. ❤
Whenever you get a chance get a whole bunch of those noodles that they use in the swimming pools the big ones and the small ones referring to the width and get duct tape and even noodle the handles and stuff just till after the freeze and invested a whole bunch next time I know what you're saying because this was unexpected I hope everything's okay now
Everything is working great now!
Oh no!!!! Stay warm guys
I'm glad the hot water tank wasn't busted. Yeahhh!!!
GOD will take care of us. Unmerited favor. Blessing us in spite of what it may look like. May GOD's love be wrapped around you 3. Great video!
I am so glad that Yah allow your home to be safe. Shalom.
Sorry you’re going thru this. Can get a pot belly stove? Don’t give up! Go to a warm state for the winter. Try NV or AZ
Aww, I feel so bad. It’s definitely has been unforeseen circumstances.
We are all back up and running now 😊
Aww im so sorry this happened . I know yall love tiny living but heres a thought . Even if u guys move out for now , u guys can always come back once things get situated .
We have empty land in Palm Bay Florida if you're interested. Just putting that out there lol
Listen lol that's tempting!
@brownsugarbabe I just want to thank you for being kind. It brightened my day.
@@the_bush_family it's in a residential neighborhood so power and water shouldn't be a problem. Just gotta see if it's zoned to allow a tiny home but I doubt it'll be a problem. Just tossing that up too 😂
I live in Texas and live in a house build in 1929, up off the ground, walls are insulated, except for us remodeling the living room, which we blocked off with 5 blankets, but we always skirt around the house in the winter regardless. We got down to 11 degrees, no lights in an all electric house, because of rolling blackouts from one area to another... contaminated water for 4 days, thank God for bottle water, we bathed in pans, oh and we always used the pipe insulation that fits over the pipes not insulation tape. We n ever have leaks, because of skirting as well. Praying all is well, be blessed.
So glad you made it out on the other side!! That weather was so rough! Even for us in Missouri and we're used to it lol
Keep your water dripping to help keep the pipes from freezing and any pipes you can keep exposed inside do so! Hope your good till spring blooms!
Thank God y'all moved back close to y'all family God is good and there's a reason for everything, right now think about the positive things y'all have a warm place to go y'all have hot foods you can eat some people don't have that in the midst of the storm you have to look at the positive in order to survive to stand up without breaking all the way down God bless y'all and I will definitely be keeping y'all in my prayers
I will be praying for you guys, please be safe. Remember God got this. This to shell pass. God Bless.
Amen!
I lives in extreme weather sometime and I always leave every faucets in the house running and I grantee you your water will not freeze up. DO IT, DO IT 👌 🆗️
The level of detail you have provided for others regarding your frozen pipe issue is invaluable! Going through something like this is traumatic. Seeing how you managed and eventually figured out the problem is going to be a great resource for others. I don't live in a tiny house, but thank you for what you do.
Crazy thing is this never happens here😳Glad you’re safe and hopefully okay now that it’s warmed up!
I live in a "real" house and my water freezes at anything under 10° .
Please do what you both need to do, to stay safe and warm,blessings to you both and to your baby 🍼 .
You are both so very strong. Please stay safe and move to a warmer location for Mom and the baby. This weather was simply not expected at all. You have really insulated your home quite well and will no longer have these problems once the weather has stabilized. In the meantime, Praying so hard for you both and the new baby. God Bless You Always, CC
This too shall pass my children God is good
“Third times a charm right?” “No!” 😂 I just about died sitting right here. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂 he was not having it lol
Your Tinyhouse will bring you joy...Be patient!!! It would be nice to be in The Tinyhouse...👠🚌👠
God Bless y'all! The breakdown before the breakthrough. Your testimony is already turning heads! 🙏🏾
I have white coat syndrome, normal at home but high at the doctors. Stress can really raise it! Glad you found the water issue!
So glad to hear you two are okay. I live in KCMO too and thought about you two often when we started getting all of this extreme cold weather. Sending nothing but love your way! ♥️♥️♥️ Spring is on the way!!!!!
Yes praise the Lord!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Glad to see you found the problem. Your advice not to buy home in a warm climate and move it to a cold climate is a valuable lesson for all to hear.
I am so happy you found and were able to fix the problem. Yeah and Praise the Lord!!! Remember, EVERY trial teaches us something. Going through the trial is never fun (I repeat...never fun and down right frustrating), but the lesson learned is priceless! Now that you have gone through this, you are able to share your knowledge on weather preparation with the new homeowners on your upcoming estate. You can give first hand knowledge and wisdom because of the trial you went though. You never know...you may even create/invent something that prevents this from happening in the future (seriously consider that if you haven’t). Mark my word...you will use this experience in the future. That’s just how GOOD God is! Continue to be a blessing and be blessed.☺️
So useful to learn about these issues before I build my tiny house. Glad y’all are sharing.
Prayers for you guys i use space heaters in mine but they are safe you should always have backup heat any other alternative be safe love yall
JUST AN FYI
STAND STILL, AND SEE THE MOST HIGH, SHOW UP, AND SHOW OUT. I totally support it. 😍
The heat tape is supposed to go around styrofoam installation, wrap the pipes first then tape. Also spray some foam around your exhaust pipes near the wall. Those tiny cracks matter. Also fiberglass insulation on the door and floor of the water heater compartment it’s naturally fire resistant. Congratulations on the baby what a beautiful blessing!
Kk your hair is life in that pineapple 😍
Praying everything stays unfrozen so y’all can focus on getting ready to meet Baby Girl Bush... btw what’s our niece name 🤔🤔
Lol thank you! 😊❤ girl we're still discussing it lol smh
Stress. Y'all dealing with a lot. God got Ya covered. 23 Psalms put on the whole armor of God. Saying prayers from Georgia. Stay warm and blessed. 🙏🙏🙏
Amen!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾 thank you!! ❤
You have to wrap your pipes in foam they make foam for pipes at Home Depot and then put the insulation on top of that I lived in New York all my life and pipes were constantly burst until we put the foam around the pipes
Your prayers are being answered God Bless.
Dang it’s colder there than up here in NEW JERSEY.... Blessings... sending y’all love! I’m glad you found somewhere to stay...
Glad you have a warm place, bed, warm water. Good news - about baby. Lord continue to bless them. Nothing reminds us faster to be grateful after not having something for a short period of time.
So true!!
