Manufacturers are finally getting it. Folks that want to downsize aren't always 20 something. Empty nesters aren't going to want to climb a ladder to get to their sleeping arrangement. Let-a-lone climb down a ladder in the middle of the night pee.LOL
1timby Well I think something like these tiny homes for kids in their 20s.would be better for them then apartment cause in along run if they want more space in the future they can always sell it unlike apartment you have to deal with rent and terrible landlords and neighbors been loud and rude and deal with kids so tiny homes like this be good for 20 yrs old kids..
Where have you been? I live in Florida, THE retirement destination for the States. We have older people living in RV's, Camper Trailers, Single-Wides, Double-Wides, Small Homes, Massive Homes. It's usually a combination of income and comfort. Plenty start coming down in an RV and eventually decide they don't want to leave, realize they were content in an RV, and sell their house and live in an RV. I guess it's not a thing elsewhere, but here you can "camp" year-round in trailer parks in RV/Camper Trailer/Tiny House, etc... It's just got to be registered.

1timby agree or someone that is disable
😂 yes! Ty!i want small, but need practical for someone with disabilities!
Just a couple of thoughts: the shallow depth counters and cabinets are not a bad idea for older folks. It gets more difficult with age to reach and bend or get down low to pull things from the depths of deeper cabinets - so to my mind they're not a disadvantage. Room could be freed up in the kitchen using either a 24" wide stove or European sized appliances. Years ago I had a house with a tiny kitchen and opted for a 24" range and it was fine, I was able to cook as always for my family of 5. Plus, most seniors are cooking for one or two, they don't need a huge stove dominating the kitchen. I would rather have a smaller stove and have room for a dishwasher. A lot of my friends in their 70's, after decades of cooking for a family every day, have no desire to cook anymore at all. A huge kitchen is not a big deal to them. At different stages of life you have to adapt your mindset. What you need with a growing family is different than what you need when it's is just one or two people. As for big get togethers - that's what potlucks were invented for! But have to agree it's more of a repackaging single wide mobile homes than what is considered a "true" tiny home. Not bad, just don't try to make it something it's not and try to fool people.
AMEN!!!!
Well said ... and yes ... trying to jump on the Tiny House Movement is crass and a cheap manipulation. Trying to elevate their utilitarian and poorly finished mobile home with a cachet it doesn't have or deserve.
To me, this feels like a one bedroom single wide mobile home that's been re-branded for today's market. It has that mobile home feel to it (the cabinetry, layout). I lived in one for about 6 mos years ago (I'm old) and the mobile home we were in was old...but it has that feel.
As soon as i saw those narrow counters, i thought coffee/tea station. We definitely did not have that back in the day (mind you, we DID have harvest gold appliances...some trends can stay dead)
And don't forget avocado green and coppertone ! Yes, I am old too...LOL
Melanie Gregory
It's mostly the synthetic materials that give it a mobile home feel I think: fake wood veneer, fake granite countertops, fake stone floors, fake ceramic bathroom fixtures (molded plastic). God knows how the construction was done, which materials were used. Probably very cheap, no built-in insulation.
Melanie Gregory Bingo!!!!
I believe these homes are built much more like a house than a mobile home, in which cheap materials are used.
In very hot climates windows are good for cross ventilation. You could also use block out curtains, blinds, shutters, tint the glass, plantation shutters, louvers.
Great suggestions.
NJSMKMMS there is window film that can take away 80% of the heat
Sorry I live in a place where the temps go over 106 and I don't even open the curtain and blind because the heat is way to much for cross ventilation..
Silly Puppy no AC , then impossible to live...
my mom is both a senior & disabled & this would be very difficult for her. the entrance & doors are too narrow/ cluttered. the bath bar is also extremely high! that aside, it's a lovely little home w/ a surprising amount of amenities.
achanwahn Well you can always get a ramp for the door and also put a sliding front door make it wide enuff for a chair to go through..
l wish they would make the cabinets look like they are for a bedroom and not like kitchen cabinets :(
I agree. It would also be nicer if you could not have so many built-ins in the bedroom. I like more things in the closet for closet organization and want the rest of the room less cluttered with bulky built-in dressers. You could always by a separate stand alone dresser if needed
Completely agree!
I love the built-ins
@@teresapappas9773 Totally agree. Wonder if it keeps the costs down to use same cabinets throughout.
I love that you work hard to become an expert in all of your family ventures and lifestyle decisions! Always very informative videos! Love them!
Thanks! We are trying to be helpful and learn for ourselves at the same time!
Dirtpatcheaven ,,, I'm in love with both, but I really love the first one, where do you build, anywhere? How much is the price range for the first one and how can we get a hold of you? ! Absolutely Beautiful!
Dirtpatcheaven how much is this model Asis
so sweet and thoughtful! my husband's parents are in their 80s and unable to even consider stairs let alone any type ladder 😱 so this is an awesome idea to downsize from their 3 bedroom home!!!
Shower needs a seat and bathroom won't accommodate a wheel chair. Also 86 that mirrored closet door in the master bedroom. Older people are often unsteady on their feet and falling into the mirrored door or trying to catch it to keep from falling would lead to a disaster THINK people. Otherwise, assuming that it is properly insulated, it looks very nice.
there was a seat and bar in one of these bathrooms
Camera man, please show more of the actual tiny house instead of just focusing on your wife. It would help us get a good look of the product. Thank you.
Ronda Erickson ha ha
Ronda Erickson And kids are annoying!
Looks like single wide trailer !
I agree leave the kids home when trying to give a review!
Ronda Erickson I personally think the wife looks pretty nice myself 😉
I think these are great options. I like that they have bedrooms and not lofts.
MsSassyMT ditto..
That’s about all, 1st floor bedroom. That alone is NOT universal design.
Nice job on showing those tiny houses. Thanks for letting us come along.
I agree with you,the 1st one seemed more spacious,and inviting.
Kids are distracting talking over you and banging doors. The description is good.
It is so wonderful how you include your daughters in your videos and listen to their input, so empowering for young ones. Your videos are wonderful and very helpful.
Ha for Disabled! No way a wheelchair or motorized chair could fit especially in the bathroom.
Karen Bonham maybe it wasn't wheelchair disabled ...open your mind.
I agree - these are not accessible. Narrow doorways, high counters and storage. To the other commenter - mobility disability is generally overlooked in tiny house plans. This home is no more accessible than many other tiny homes. Yes there are other disabilities, many of which ARE accommodated by the average tiny home. Karen is thinking of those of us currently left out of this market.
@Ronda RV
"...open your mind..."
Not patronising, or anything... much?
So sorry I offended you. God bless you Lesley
Karen Bonham I agree
Lots of Cabinet space waist level and below plus Lots of Countertop space = Pure Gold. :) Looks like a reg mobile home.
p.s. LOVE the French Doors, every home should have them.
I think the first house was set up for a couple, while the second house would probably be better for a single. I can do without a dishwasher, as I think that a double sink is a luxury. And as for the windows,closing the curtains or lowering the blinds during the sunny part of the day can lower the temperature. All the drawer space is lovely.
I have seen homes with the layout of the first one. in very hot climates owners usually do a tinted covering on the windows. I have stayed in a house like this and you are correct it is a lovely space. thanks
Somebody should build tiny houses with wheelchairs in mind. Admittedly it would probably be hard to make one super wheelchair friendly. But wide doors and wide halls would be a start.
i'm disabled and this would be perfect for me..thanks for posting
Cynthia Hunter so am i and it is definitely not wheelchair accessible so it will depend on the type of disability. ...maybe on a walker or blind
Epilepsy, I know one senior with it and housing was always problematic.
Poppa Pips I think veterans who are disabled should be checking into something like that for themselves maybe..
Cynthia Hunter, I hope you are not in a wheel chair when you said you are disabled. Because your wheel chair cannot function in this place. Check it out before getting committed is my advice to you. George Wu, AIA, ARCHITECT, NCARB 2017-8-27
I AM DISABLED ALSO AND THIS HOUSE SHOULD HAVE WASHER N DRYER HOOK UP.
ALSO THIS COULD ELIMINATE THAT MIRROWED WALL TO OPEN AND CLOSE FOR THE CLOSET... IF YOU MISS YOUR BALANCE THERE IS NO LEVERAGE TO GRAB FOR STABILITY AND NOT GET CUT UP WITH THAT GLASS!!
Disabled and elderly do not want to go up steps into home.
Also, higher light fixtures and upper cabinets are unusable or unsafe to access.
Was just thinking that. No way could I even get into this house.
That's right I'm physically disabled and climbing stairs is not for me. That house is not really for the handicapped. It has some features but not for the physically handicapped. There should be no stairs to get in should be a removable ramp.
Cynthia L - That's why a ramp is made for that elderly or disabled person....
Im sure people do not believe that homes just automatically come with big ramps on them already. They are built once the home is set up!
I was just thinking that. I for 1 can't get in the home for the steps
I've just downsized from a large family home into a bungalow and bought stunning wood effect lino throughout. Easy to sweep and mop. I will have 'bedside rugs'.
Thank you for posting! I'm older and can't use a loft. Much appreciated :-)
:)
that counter is nice for a tv, if they choose to use it, and storage, or books, just about anything. i love it!
I hate heights. And when I get my tiny home. I plan on being there until I die. So I don't want a loft or stairs. So glad that trend is changing.
as someone who is disabled and has bad knees and back, i'd need something like this if / when i ever got a place of my own ... one level, no stairs kind of place.
Nice video. I really enjoy seeing various design ideas. 💙
I really hope you don't let others stress you out when you express your opinions on places. You are looking at all these spaces so you can do just that... figure out what works for you. 12 years ago when we went used rv shopping and we were spending MUCH less... we went into probably 100 RV's. Take your time and figure it out... a layout that works with your family is everything.
Best small home for me is one open square box with a closed bathroom with bath/shower. A simple Murphy bed and washer/dryer combo. Thanks for showing homes for seniors and disabled persons!
Where did you find these, plus no price, if you are going to show things??????Just
It just a run of the mill park model mobile home. Nothing special. Google park model. Prices vary across the states and Canada.
I started watching this one because it seems handicap accessible, I have a degenerative condition and climbing stairs and ladders are not an option..I am amazed that these are only 12 ft wide. Thank you for this video
Park model homes can be customized with wood and granite and better for older people because of one level and usually set up so walkers or wheelchairs are useable in them where most tiny homes are not. Longer showers can accommodate stools that many older people need.
The first one would be my first pick. A higher end model. This is perfect for one person.
i like the first house.
For 1 the above cabinets are rediculas for senior's. They can't/won't use them. And not all sinors live alone, they have people that live with them for some can't do for themselves such as, driving= blindness, or shopping. So try to remember that the floor (down) can be lowered so that a full size br can be made above another for that purpose. Just an idea for you to ponder. 😊❤ And all pipes need to be on the inner walls to prevent freezing/bursting pipes.
With all due respect, the days of windows needing to be eliminated in order for a house to stay cool are over. There are all types of windows and a variety of window treatments. There are window shades that provide some privacy (you can see out, your neighbors can’t see in), and they reduce the amount of heat that can come in.
There’s nothing wrong with you and your family touring tiny homes and sharing your observations . You aren’t holding yourself out as an expert (like Bryce). So take my comment just as my opinion, nothing more.
And hats off to you for including your kids and not telling them to go play video games in the car. If they want to give some feedback, perhaps they could wait until you pause, and let them know they can talk,
Keep viewing all kinds of small and tiny house ideas for all sizes of budgets. You have viewers from DIY people to widows who need a home that’s ready to go and easy to use.
I absolutely love it! This is just right for me. I wish we had a home like this up here.
We are a disabled couple looking to purchase a tiny home but there are a few things that are on our MUST have list. #1 bedroom must be large enough for a long size bed. #2 A very functional kitchen that can accommodate four bar stools at counter instead of a kitchen table. #3 must be 1 level, can not climb ladders to get to our bedroom. #4 since we are disabled my dream is to have a step in tub with all the bells and whistles . I would also like it to be large enough so that we could take a shower in it if not wanting to take a long relaxing bath . I know for a fact if I had one of those I would be in it once or twice a day . the massaging feature of the water jets with the something that could help us very much with our and ailments. I wouldn't mind to have have some loft so the grandkids can sleep over and we wouldn't want them to sleep on a sofa bed in our TV room. the first home with the high ceilings is wonderful but believe it or not we do not like a lot of windows. in that sitting area you have 6 windows three large on bottom three small on top. if I was two have this one made for us I would not want the windows that are on the bottom because that is where we would put our large television. I am sure that all of these things can be done it's just a matter of cost. we are not looking for something immediately but definitely within the next two years. we live in the Charleston area of South Carolina and I so wish that you had a showroom and a salesperson who could help us build our dream retirement home.
oddly enough we are not fans of a lot of windows. windows or doors that would give a lovely cross-breeze would be just fine but we do not like so many windows that we have no option for hanging photos candles or shelves on our walls. a lovely French door on one side end two large casement windows on the other in the living area would be perfect and quite enough windows for us. same in the bedroom. we like our bedroom dark. I know that my having a large amount of Windows in especially a tiny home makes it look larger but we just want a cozy place to be able to live the rest of our lives in. any info or input you can send to me would be greatly appreciated. you could either comment here or please send me an actual website where I can see all of the options that are available.
You brought up several valid concerns while touring this tiny house; how much will it cost to heat/cool the place, will having too many windows cause it to get too hot/cold, and is the air quality good. I've been researching tiny houses for a long time now and I would never buy/build one without using passive house principles for it. (The earthship house you toured in an earlier video is a good example of a passive house.)
A well designed passive house will be comfortable to live in, non-toxic, and cost you very little to heat/cool. Some things to look for in a tiny house are as follows:
1) It will be well insulated with proper thermal breaks and have good insulated windows.
2) Have majority of windows on the south side to provide solar heating in winter; have minimal windows on the east/west/north sides to avoid overheating in summer or getting too cold in the winter. Keep in mind, you'll need to add appropriate shading for all windows since practically all tiny houses don't come with any sort of shading built-in such as eaves or awnings.
3) East side of the house is the coolest and gets morning sun while the west side of the house is the hottest and darkest in the morning. Kitchens placed on the east side is best since you'll get natural light in the morning to cook breakfast and you won't feel as hot cooking dinner in the evening.
4) Was it built using non-toxic materials
5) Does the floorplan promote good airflow
6) Has outside storage. If placed on the west side, it will act as a buffer against summer heat.
In the first bigger one That hall way with cabinets connected to the kitchen is called a butler's pantry, aka prep area a major bonus.😁
If you wanted a washer and dryer, you would have to take space out of the bathroom, which is possible in the first of these two. One comment about the bedroom closet--it looks like the rod is too high for a short person to use. Did I see a drawers or cupboards below the closet? That seems wrong.
I love all the storage in the first house. I have seen full size houses with a "lot" less storage.
Yep, that's true!
I would say for senior citizens you might want to make the house ADA compliant...meaning wheelchair accessible..the 2nd one was closer to ADA. I agree on the 2nd house, about the set of cupboards and counter outside of kitchen wasn't well thought out...great presentation..we have two girls too! Your girls are precious! Enjoy them while their young...they grow up FAST!! Blessings!!
Thank you, David. We're glad you're out there watching.
I like the models but the lady showing them doesnt put ant effort in showing the full home and is critizing them.
Some people are sensitive to chemicals, obviously this family is one.
I've lived from the east coast to the west coast and from the southern borders of Arizona to Idaho and you hit the nail on the head when it comes to houses must fit the region. Getting light into the home is simple if you incorporate VELUX skylights solar operated windows or something like them. It provides light from the top of the home and you can open and close the skylights and covers as needed. I like the first home you displayed in this video, not because I'm a senior and disabled but because it has the satisfying arrangements that will put a smile on the wife. I liked to think I spend more time in the shop, but truth is my wife works so I've got kitchen detail until she retires which should be in the next year, we hope. Depend on the increase on O-Care and medicine costs which are a bigger issue than the design of our home for sure. Be prepared for the horrid expenses coming your way when you get to the "grey-years". Love you and your family the most!
Silly Puppy I agree.. I have the same issue. Except I was injured then got the auto immune disease. People are VERY JUDGMENTAL, & Discriminatory.
The Universal handicap sign being a person in a wheelchair gives people a false perception. That disabled people are ALWAYS in a wheelchair. And when you add youth to a disability it makes it even worse. They don't understand there are a lot of people who have many other disabilities that can make them disabled but not neccessarally in a wheelchair. Discrimination is horrid for younger people simply because of this misconception. I wish they would change the universal disabled sign to something that still tells people your disabled WITHOUT making it appear disability means ONLY wheelchair. Just my .02 cents.
Silly Puppy Just to clarify I'm actually a woman. Not an Aidan. lol..but no worries. I do agree with the poverty aspect. I can't speak to everywhere because some places are better or worse. But I can say that the Welfare myth is no longer true. *For most peoole* I live in KY where you can only get $225 for 1 Parent& child I believe it goes up only $50-75 per child after. YOU can't raise anything including yourself on that kind of cash. They also stopped taking section 8 applications over a decade ago BECAUSE of the generation your talking about. People who got it & staid on it. The list only moved when someone died. It was & still is ridiculous. But Believe me...I understand where the belief comes from. It just no longer true. Most people on welfare actually work full time jobs now. & have too get it just to help pay child care or transportation. Now ain't that a slap in the face. They say no more welfare your gonna work here's your training people show up some not willing others YAY free training then paid minimum wage food & medical cut off make too much to stay in subsidized housing get kicked out or they have to quit the job & start the game all over. Trust me friend THERE ARE 0 people LIVING on Welfare ANYMORE! They are down in the dirt with the rest of us 90% ers. We are here because of well, in my case something I couldn't control. The same can be said for some of them. But the only thing that matters is 90% of the world's wealth is held by just a few HUNDRED PEOPLE! I'd say they are the ones to be pissed at. All the rest of us fighting for scraps & false propagated (By them) predjuidece against EACH OTHER keeps them very safe & secure that we never pay attention to the man behind the curtain. Just IMO
Saving Aidan Well Wal-Mart has alot of welfare ppl working for them and so does McDonald's and such but what's bad was back in the old days in the 90s.and late 80s.if a mother wants to get a job the welfare would punish her for getting a job they would take food stamps and everything else including her kids cause she is neglectful by getting a job..
I liked the first one of these!
its a mobil home not a tiny house ......
It is a mobile home but it is smaller than most and a home is a house...so what is the difference? It is a tiny place to live and an option that a lot of older couples would prefer to a 'tiny house' since there is no loft. I am not married to just one type of house style but am trying to show all the options.
The second unit with all that counter space is great for coffee machine, toaster, mixer, blender, etc.
I love love love the first little house. Love all the dimensions in it. You could have white cabinetry and trim throughout to make it look and feel larger. It would also make it feel cooler too in some place like Arizona. I would use the narrow countertops next to the little eating area for my coffee and teapots. That way it would be convenient to the table or bar area. Maybe wine racks or storage.
Nice to see a space with cabinets and a real closet. Looks like a mobile home to me. but it's nice, I'd live there. Probably still out of my budget.
too bad the bedroom cabinets look like kitchen ones.
These are simply park model mobile homes.
and where im at in AZ park models HAVE to be in parks, the county will not allow you to live in one on your land because they cant tax it as property it taxes under vehicle , totally sucks
@@MrDandan170 Where I'm at in WA state, you can get Fined $1,000 per day or more if you have any kind of RV*Tiny Home on your Own Property unless there's a Permanent Home already there!!
I had a 35' Travel Supreme w/2 Slideouts & W*D in bathroom, setup on my Mom's property to stay in while I got rid of the Trashcan singlewide mobile she had been living in. Got a letter from the city telling me we'd be Fined $1,000 pd if anyone was caught Living in Travel Trailer that was Hooked up to Everything+++ the mobilehome had been hooked to!! Ended up letting RV go back to bank & wish I still had it now!!
Breakfast nook would be great for bird cages! Most do not have room for them to be with the family.
I love this tinyhouse!! Wow🧡🧡🧡🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Good overview! I am looking into tiny homes for myself my parent, this is good for a parent who's going into retirement soon rather than just staying in an apartment.
I've looked at similar homes like these before called park models. I like the ones where they have a loft running half or full length of the house. They have very spacious lofts for kids or grandkids to sleep. I really like the lay-out of these homes. I think the price range is $40,000 - $70,000 depending on loft or no loft. If you buy them new, they usually come furnished and with all the appliances. Love the high ceilings too.
Those are too cute. Love the windows and cabinets.
Aren't they? So well built.
Very cute homes. Would be nice to begin the tour at the door and go through showing each feature to the end of the home, rather than jump from space to space. I got lost and just wanted to hold the camera still to get a sense of the dimensions.
Yes.... And in those plastics... formaldehyde is most often one of the ingredients to create and seal it. FYI
Great advice! Especially about the plastic odor in the mobile homes and the different scenarios for our decision-making. Thank you
That looks like a 12'x 40' or 12'x 50' and could no be moved by the owner. But you are correct in that the elderly will usually want (or need) a bedroom on the ground floor of their home that is easy to access. It also looks like they trade off a "living room" for the bedroom, and that is fine for someone who is getting on in years and won't be throwing parties all the time. The bathroom would need to be heavily modified for someone with a wheelchair (pitched as handicap accessible). You are also correct in that is it more "plastic" looking like a mobile home (which I guess is what it really is, albeit a shorter one). Still looks comfy enough for me !
Ok, I've read all the comments and all I really want to know is the prices of both of these models. And who makes them; Oakwood, etc... Some companies make a better product. I raised my 3 girls alone in a doublewide Oakwood and we have the best memories. Doesn't matter where you live, as long as you're all together!
Thank you for saying that. There are links in the description box to the company. I agree. Home is WHO you're with, not WHERE you are.
Thanks for showing these options. I looked at these 20 yrs ago and bought a house. Wish I'd have bought the Park Model. I let myself get talked out of it by people saying that you have to pay for space rent. Now, I'm finally going to consider a mobile. Problem is that the value of the house has gone down so it's a little harder financially. The cupboards are definitely better than a mobile. I am a senior so thanks for talking about the finishes etc. I could tell you were effected by the VOCs when you started blinking a lot and rubbing your eyes. Even before you mentioned the VOCs, I thought of that as being a possible problem. It's important to think about. Also the windows. I love having lots of windows. I've replaced my windows here with double paned, low E glass. I'm sure a new home would have them. You bring up some important points. Good video. Would like to know how much they cost.
They make the doors going into the bathroom to narrow. I was told by a representative that they could enlarge the door but the one I looked at by another builder had the toilet in the way. When I pointed this out they said they could enlarge the bathroom to do this. So of course the price goes up. If your looking to buy think ahead to make sure it will work for you down the road.
Very good point! Something that is important to know beforehand! Thank you for your response!
You criticisms are very good. Good ideas to help with decisions.
No stairs are best for some disabled though. But I am old too and lived in single wide trailer and many yrs later double wide home and this is like single wide trailer. But bathrooms would be wide enough for washer and dryer, or a utility area near back door hooked up for laundry. Much the same.
65% Nationally of manufactured housing is owned by seniors although few are built for wChairs. Clearly, downsizing and smaller one floor arrangements are to the benefit of seniors and disabled. However, you should check out whether particle board or plywood was used on floors....On many manufactured homes if there is a plumbing issue it can dissolve or warp a particle board floor. Freezing pipes in some areas is also an issue. Check out the insulation and materials not seen...
It actually has a nice amount of storage.
You were talking about "plastic smell" It's called off gassing. Anything new/manufactured like cupboards, flooring etc will have off gassing. Only way to get away from this is to have everything hand made But even appliances have off gassing, which you can't make yourself. So your stuck. But if you get hand made where ever you can at least you can reduce it.
As you get older, you find you want fewer and fewer material objects. I would remove a number of the built-ins and replace them with more appealing, personal pieces of furniture. Another item to downsize is the fridge. An older person needs a smaller fridge, set up higher, reducing the need to bend down.
This tiny house is quite spacious, it seems large loads of space. Love it. I would make quite a "nook" of it.
I would take it without a complaint. They can be built however you want, wheel chair accessible models, supposedly they are not allowed to use toxic materials, but who knows, and with all the hazardous chemicals that fall from the sky daily from the chem trails it's sad people don't know how bad that is.
downfall to "building accessible" of anything is the 25% increase in price just because it is "accessible." No reason to charge more for placement of light switches, outlets, wider doors (or pocket doors), etc......
I am disabled but i use a cane or a walker and this model shows steps to get in the tiny house so I would need a ramp.
They should make a mobile home for wheelchairs more so even rooms so can move around it and big bathroom it can be done add a ramp instead of stairs
I use a wheelchair. Some RV's are wide enough. I'm seriously thinking of this as a way of life with no upstairs or climbing.
Very nice video! Thanks. Cute kids too.
thanks for the video and all the folks that commented on it
Where is the washer and dryer the elderly don't want to go to a laundry mat for sure!!
Lived in a trailer once too. Great space and the built in's. I also liked the china cupboard buffet area.
If you put window ti I on all, drastically cuts down the heat, as far as moving a twelve foot wide a professional has to do it , all kinds of permits are needed, quite expensive!
Only think I would l like is a washer/dryer all in one combo. I would decline dishwasher and fit the w/d there.
so nice to know there are tiny houses I wouldn't have to climb stairs at night. where is this located? flushing toilet?
should have waited for presentation until specs and prices were available
Not sure how to do that when the guy who knew that was not in the office for the day and we were just driving through. I gave the website in the description if you want to go check it out for prices.
thanks
Adorable!!!!!
This feels like a standard single-wide. I am assuming from your statement that it's built to a better standard? It doesn't feel like it - feels like cheap veneered cabinets, walls look thin, etc...
I get that older people don't need all the extra bedrooms because kids are gone, but I feel like that should be made up for with larger all around spaces (e.g. 700-900 sq ft one to two bedrooms). It's harder to move around when you're older, you may end up needing some kind of chair for mobility, you don't want to have to squeeze or climb around anything. The circular kitchen from the first model seems senior friendly, the rest feels like cheap mobile home marketing.
The storage is very nice..for the ones would be for things not used very often the others for the ones they use often...i believe what would be the best ..is to have the seniors design their own needs and what they need in terms of reaching in the storage places and bathrooms and their beds ..,kitchen supplies etc etc and that would be the real good senior tiny house...for the bathroom it would be better to have a bigger shower.,because lits of seniors need mire space ..to have a possibility to put a stool and not to have a sliding door to have a real glass door ...in case they feel bad difficult to get them out correctly...and why not...have the doors a little wider in case they are in a wheel chair...as well as having a special way to climb the outside stairs ...if needed.that is a senior tiny house....
Check out Kelly hicks park models, they have a loft in a lot of the models which gives a great place for kids to have as their own space. And relax shacks, they build all kinds of tiny homes and alternate living.
I love the park models though for looks. Another great idea is to go to Home Depot and get a shed package and then transform that into a tiny home. There are some awesome sheds!
Good luck!
Also tiny house nation
Thumbs up for the pony tails!
I did like the way the second small house looks. I bet that the homes are pricey.
I have a large walker and although it would probably fit in the first house's bathroom there is no way it would fit in the 2nd one. Maybe not even in the bedroom after the bed is put in.
you will find the cost of maintenance on one of those might be a lot higher than a tiny house. Good tour
Thank you enjoyed another small housing..God Bless
Nice homes,gorgeous lady!!!!!!!
These two park models are nice! I wouldn't want cabinets up too high though plus I would recommend different cabinets in the bedroom I personally have a closet and would put in my own dressers and night stand in the bedroom. No built in drawers! I didn't see a washer dryer hook ups and I would want that. How much would these be without the bedroom dresser drawers and without the extra kitchen counter? More information please. Thank you!
Interesting. I would like to see more about affordability, prices and durability. Thanks for this look !
It's electric cookstove, which I don't like-gas of some sort please. And possibly electric HVAC-also dont like. And the shower stall would be great a little larger-so could put a bath chair in it.
Nice designs.
Where is this at?
I like this one and im looking to buy one
Cute little Mini-MEs...
right off the bat- no way can I (a disabled senior) use those front steps or get into that shower.
