I started an evening job in January and don’t get to go walk every day. When I do have time on the weekend it’s a different me. Unfortunately now the park is flooded. I live in Nebraska and we have had too much rain this year. It’s sad to see it. A dozen or so trees blew over during the last big storm. I hope to work here 21 months and move to Oregon where they have the ocean and national forests and such!

Oh good, get up in the middle of the night, stumble down a ladder + put on your parka to trudge out + figure out which freaking outhouse to use. The pull down your jammies to sit on an icy seat.

    Sweet cozy home, but the land is the key to it all. I wish more questions were asked as to how she came to get this land and what was involved, to educate the viewer interested in tiny home living. The only way a tiny home is feasible is having land to put it on, which continues to be a major roadblock. The need for tiny house living is growing every day because of the overinflated real estate market but the rules and regulations to place tiny homes is not changing with the times. Something needs to give in our current "system" to fulfill the needs of our society before it's too late. Homelessness is becoming an epidemic.

      LowsonIntl Well said! The Gulf Islands, like the San Juans on the US side, are prime playgrounds for the one percent, putting the purchase of land there w-a-y out of reach for most people. If people of modest means have found creative ways around the problem, I'd like to hear about them. If not, then it's a service to viewers to be honest about the deep pockets necessary to live tiny in most places.

      Go for a drive and see where the local building sites are. It would take me a long time but I could definitely access most of the windows and doors for a project like this from homes within about 20 miles of me that are being renovated. I’ve rarely actually done it but just yesterday I asked a friendly neighbour about the dumpster that’s appeared outside his house. Turns out he was getting rid of an aviary so I’ve repurposed a lot and I’ve got a new woodshed.

      Also, town dumps have the free pile. Check out facebook garage sale sites - lots of free stuff. The issue is having the time and discipline an place to store the materials.

      They do exist! Business dumpsters are especially great places to scavenge. I used to have a little retail store and got most of my very nice display units from dumpsters. Spinning card racks, shelf units, even a nice desk and some computer supplies. It is amazing what people throw away.

      It takes time and patience to accumulate the right things, but perfectly good materials get thrown away every day of the year. I've been running a small thrift shop from my NYC apt for seven years, and can't keep all the stuff I can find just in walking distance of here. With a car I could get even more.

    As people are saying, the great thing about this home IS that it is a comfortable home. Yes it was presented well for us to admire, but we could see just how comfortable that it is, and how the couple love being there. An established garden and surroundings that show how much time and thought has gone into the whole environment, not just the house. It is also so good to see when people have designed something unique to themselves and not just a copybook design. The use of the stove and propane cooker for instance. Putting the fridge outdoors dates back in rural areas to times past, when the way to keep provisions cool, especially meat, was to make a mesh box and sit it in a running stream. It is great to see a home that has been so well created as this couple have done - many years of enjoyment let's hope !

  • @cherylanderson3340
    @cherylanderson3340 5 років тому +1

    This tiny house feels homey. It needs an enclosed porch though. A racoon or bear would have no problem opening that, or any size refrigerator.
    Since their motors put out a lot of heat, in a small space, it can get oppressive in the summer. I've thought mine belongs on a back porch, which I don't currently have.
    In my small ranch house. When my fridge croaked one winter, I kept my food outside in a bin within a bin. You can pour a few inches of water between the two bins. The water freezes overnight, so if kept in a shaded spot, ideally on a closed in back porch, on the north side, it's perfect! I kept things like veggies in the cold back hall, so they wouldn't freeze.
    When summer came, I continued to keep food out back, but bought ice & less food. Even after the ice melted, the water remained cool, even in summer, giving me a 3rd day to hold remaining food cooler out back than it would be in my kitchen, since I don't have AC yet.
    I live in a northern climate, so it's worked quite well - for a few years now. I am quite limited in the few warm months we have, but have saved a lot on electricity.
    I love their kitchen area, storage & loft, & abundance of windows, but I've seen a few news items of bears - usually Black bears, breaking the house door down to enter to get food. Those windows would offer even less resistance. I've seen bears smash car windows like nothing, so all those windows offer little protection if an intruder or bear wanted to get in,but That's true of most homes, RVs, trailers, vans or cars which people also live in, I guess.
    I'm considering getting a couple composting toilets, but will keep them indoors. Love the idea of having more bathrooms - without the expensive plumbing costs! Will put one in the back hall, near the door for when I'm working in the yard, & won't have to take my boots off!
    I see theirs is kept outside. From all accounts, if you keep the liquids & solids separate, they don't smell! The solids are covered by peat moss & / or other materials, completely, so there's no smell.
    I would not let it build up for weeks like some suggest we do. Would dilute the urine with water & use it to water outdoor plants, or just dump it on my compost pile, rsther than having to lug several gallons of it. Liquid weighs 10# per gal!
    It adds nitrogen to the soil & a human scent. Ilf poured around the ground surrounding your veggie patch (not in it), it may deter animals heading towards devouring the produce. I'm hoping it works to deter groundhogs, but haven't tried it yet.
    The solids get dried by the various types of matter commonly used, & can also be added to a dedicated compost pile. After aging, & blending with other composting materials, that aged compost can be used to put under shrubs, trees, on lawn or in the flower beds to improve tilth & add nutrients. I'd prefer to not use it on edibles, but once aged properly, it could be. They've been doing it in China for ages, I just wouldn't want to.
    Imagine the water we'd save, collectively, if we all composted our excretions! Water can be cleaned & reused, as some comunities have been doing for years.
    We can all set up gray recycling & filtering systems too, at a minimal cost, and collect rainwater, in most states.
    One day it will be necessary to conserve water. We should really start now, & stop acting like we have an endless supply of water. We do not.
    I would not enjoy an outhouse though. There'd be spiders to look for...& don't forget to look under the seat too. 😞
