Melissa's misadventures
Registrace 19. 02. 2021
Hi, I'm Melissa... welcome to my CZcams channel! I've always wanted to do CZcams, and I finally am!! I'm here to post some "misadventures" in life!
I moved from Indiana down to TN a little over 2 years ago after I got divorced. It's just me and my dog Kody, a big golden retriever, in a 9x18 tiny house. There's been lots of bumps along the way, on my journey to my new life, and a new start.
I do hope you enjoy my channel, and thank you for coming along with me on my new journey in life!

I thought ITH was such a great idea, and now I realize it was like listening and believing a Used Car Salesman. You probably opened a lot of people's eyes as to this scam. Scary!
Exactly. So many bought in to ith "dream!!"
So happy for you and Kody to soon move back into your tiny home. You deserve this, since ITH caused you so many problems. You opened my eyes to what they are really about. I still watch them, and still don't know, if Randy and Amanda are a couple? Sometimes she has a ring on her wedding finger. Please clue me in. Love your channel!
Thank you, I'm so glad you like my channel!! Randy and Amanda were married before, but they are not married, no!
Dogs are more loyal than most people!
Hey Melissa. That's so nice that your daughter and mom can spend time together. 😊 You are such a good dog mom.🥰 Kody would be extremely sad if he wasn't with you. Well, it won't be long now until you and Kody are in your cute tiny house. I hope everything works out just fine for you. 💜
Thank you🩷
Awe Melissa your daughter is so pretty nice to see her ❤❤❤
I have a big dog, and a big backyard. Guess where the dog hangs out? Yes, right in my way all of the day!😂
🤣🥰😊
All Cody needs is love😊
🥰
So happy to see you together! 🙏❤️❤️🙏
Taxes are on personal property, your unit, ITH pays taxes on the physical land. I have a mobile home park and its the same for the folks who own their own mobile home and rent a spot from me. I have 3 ITH homes the process was interesting to say the least. They won't get any more of our money. Very unorganized, piss poor communication, and the product was not what we expected.
Yes, the communication stops when they get their money!! It did for many of us, anyways! And the quality.... yeah....💩😤
Hi Melissa & Kody! You're looking so much better. I hope the transition goes smooth for you & your sweet boy. 🐾🌄🏡💕
Thank you so much!
I prefer any animal over humans. I now have two pups. I have a baseball cap I wear, "I love dogs, humans give me a headace". Best wishes with the move. Glad you got away from ITH.
Lol i love that hat!!! So true. 🥰
And you're going to love Kody like no other too❤❤❤❤
For sure!!! Kody saved my life, literally! We're besties. 🥰
Hello, Melissa. I am new to your channel. I absolutely love ❤️ looking at Kody he's so handsome and spoilt but a good spoilt. I love your tiny house 🏠 and am so glad you're moving to NC it's a beautiful state. u will love it. I never liked ITH. I thought Randy was so stuck up. And I love ❤️ my Keurig too, and I ordered the same coffee u did. I got 40 different kinds of coffee, and I love the Tootsie Roll coffee ☕️ please keep the videos coming. I love ❤️ your charming tiny house life.
Well, hello there! And, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm certainly glad you are liking my channel, and that you love Kody! Most do love Kody!! 🥰 I love those keurig variety packs, there's no bad flavor in it, is there? Lol You have a great night now!! 😊🤗
@italian_grl Thank you and u too!! Kody just has that beautiful face that everybody just loves falling in love with, and I love the varieties of different coffee ☕️ and you are so welcome.
Sadly, Americas’s best days are far far behind her. We are living in praying times and it is only going to get worse. I don’t mean to burst anyone’s bubble. Times are changing quickly and becoming more and more challenging. I tell everyone to pray, prepare, and pray some more. Keep as much extra supplies as you can, meds, food, water and some cash at home. Most importantly, get your spiritual life in order. Know Jesus and look up! Blessings!
Yes rent is high I know three ladies looking for assisted living and one a apartment and the prices are high. In Hollister Mo we had 7.5” of rain. Good luck on the final move.
It’s terrible! I am barely making it! Vote Trump! 🇺🇸

Hey Melissa! Loving your channel. New subbie ❤️
Yay! Thank you!🥰🤗
You got that right Melissa! Dogs are better than humans!! 😂 I wouldn’t be surprised if someone who was waiting for the Mountain or Buffal Creek. Thanks for the walk and tour. Hope you had a good day. Stay safe. ❤️❤️
I think it’s great that she stays with Gram too. 😊.
That's the same phone I got for my CZcams! Great choice 😉😁! I know EXACTLY what you're saying as far as housing goes. I wanted to go Tiny for a VERY long time and even thought I'd buy from Incredible Tiny Homes, but changed my mind after seeing and hearing about all the shenanigans 😳. My older sister retired to South Carolina so now I'm thinking of going that way and after doing the math, figured it'd be just as affordable for me to sell my home and just put it into another one. So Happy 😊 for you that you are getting your house back!
Oh, by the way...just wondering, do you just pick up and deliver orders from Walmart, or do you do the shopping 🛍 As well 🤔? I'm a Digital Personal Shopper for Walmart so I actually work in the store...just picking the items. I was just curious how your job works. Thanks in advance 😊.
I'm a delivery driver for spark/ Walmart but i get shops as well. I actually prefer the shop and deliver! It pays better.
@italian_grl oh nice! I'd wondered 🤔 about that. I used to work in apparel with my daughter. Now we both do the Digital Personal Shopping but might switch to Ship From Store. We'd basically still be doing the shopping for online orders except We'd also have to package 📦 them for shipping. I like the fact We'd be able to just transfer when we decide to move.
One positive thing is that your sister will be next door, and you can work out a laundry arrangement with her. That's really nice of her to put in an underground fence. I thought maybe the two of you would put decks & a fence around buth tiny houses, with gates to get in & out.
I can't afford all that. I doubt she can either but at least she has a job there. I'm the one relocating so i have to find a job.
@@italian_grl I didn't mean right away. I'm glad your sister has a job there. I was imagining you both walking your dogs for a while.
Stabilization is great!
I agree with you Melissa “affordable” is a joke nowadays! When the people in Newport talk about affordable & you see the prices🤦🏻♀️ I think what is your income? I would love to go Tiny but I can’t afford it. I did have a dream of acquiring property & create a tiny stick built community. But circumstances made that it impossible! I wish you all the best in your move!
I agree dogs are the best!!!!Kody will be livin the life with you in NC!!!!

I am landlord. I have a loan payment, sky high insurance,utilities and taxes. I have crazy upkeep and tenants who cause so much damage that I rarely break even. There are two sides to every story.
Will your mom be staying where she is? Good luck with your move.
Yes she's in her apt. I'm sure she can put her name on a list to move out that way if she wants
I agree with people getting greedy once they see the demand for lots, ex $770 month rent x12= 8,400 and if owner has small land with 15 lots that's 126K per year. If the lots get more expensive nationwide, it will hinder the tiny house movement AS low affordable housing/low income housing movement.
Yes, for sure!!! Especially when the lots usually are tiny, with little to no grass and people rigor next to you like a campground setup...smh
But that person that owns the land is responsible for insurance and permits, homeowners insurance has gone up a lot , they are probably trying to make ends meet also, everything is going up for them also, still have a mortgage on the land. Jobs pay based on the cost of living in the area. Glad to see you smiling 😊
Tiny homes in Flat Rock, $750, pay for water, cable, least that's something
Yes at least u get cable! Most places offer nothing but the lot to put your house on.
Hello Mellissa you're looking good. Yes remember to exhale. This is an exciting time of change for you. Look at it as progress and renaming or calling things something not stressful will help relieve the stress. Am believing for good things for you. There are some very nice people in Bryson, you'll see. You have all of us rooting for you even when not online. You have wonderful folks are angels that help & gift to you, a true blessing. Keep looking up. Yes the economy is very rough and times are extremely challenging for many of us. In my prayers for a smooth move & transition. 💕
Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean so much! I appreciate all of my wonderful friends here. 🥰
You are looking wonderful! Thank you for your update and vlog. Sure look forward to seeing them. Don't ever quit. Guess what ? This time will go fast. Before you know it, you will be in NC with Kody. So excited for you. Hugs my friend.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! 🥰😊🤗
Going tiny doesn’t make it less expensive. The only way to make anything affordable is to own all your stuff. Not easy to do. Kody is fine. People say stupid things. People who own an overpriced home in the North East with more equity than mortgage who sell can afford to buy land and a small cabin or tiny home. We have to move south or to northern New England. Husband and I will be heading probably to Maine. It’s outrageous what the cost of living is. Disgraceful.
Unfortunately Maine isn't that cheap anymore. It used to be just the touristy coastal areas that were expensive, now other places that aren't totally in the boonies are getting up there too. (If you're retiring up there, you want to be within an hour of a decent medical facility.) (My friend lives up there and used to be a dental hygenist and says it must be up there in Maine where the toothbrush got its name since most people up there only have one tooth. :-))
@@pcthayer omg that’s so funny. I’ve already lived in Northern Maine. Not for me. We will do 10 miles out of Augusta. Husband is a retired Navy nuclear engineer. We need to be close to VA hospital. We like Brunswick, Bath, Bristol also. Actually, I love all of Maine, but I Need some amenities.
@@donnalf184 Brunswick is very nice. My niece lives (rents) there. She was looking for a home in the area but anything with land is expensive there. (She was looking for something under $400K) (I remember Brunswick in the 1960's when the base used to be there....my aunt had a cottage on Bailey Island and when we visited always stopped in Brunswick on the way there.) I hope you find your dream home at an affordable price. (I like it here in MA but slowly I am getting priced out of here with the high taxes, etc. while being on a fixed income now that I'm retired.)
@@pcthayer Boy, that sure is so true for so Many retired people. I’m not paying 400k for a house. We will buy land and either do a cabin or larger tiny house. You can still find a piece of property at what we consider a good price. At this point in our lives we just want to own everything free and clear. No mortgage, car payments or credit card debt. It’s the only way to live moving forward into your elder years.
@@donnalf184 You have the plan nailed down. That is the only way to retire....debt free. You mentioned Augusta, think that area could be more affordable than the others mentioned. Good luck.
😊
You are looking so much better Melissa. You are not looking so stressed as you did before. I think you will love your new home!!!
Looks can be deceiving lol I'm quite stressed with everything!
@@italian_grl everything will work out my friend. Just tell yourself I’m going to take it one day at a time!! The first month when you move you should get settled in and you being with your sister will make it a lot easier for you. It’s fantastic you both have each other to check out the area, jobs, etc. Having the beautiful creek close to you will be nice. Kody will love it and you can relax there too!! I’m so excited for you getting back into your home. After you do a good cleaning inside and decorate your home you will feel so great!!
One thing at a time,🎉❤. I live in Western nc but maybe 2 or more hours from your new spot, I did love the drive you took us on through the gorge😊
I’m so excited for you and Kody! 🎉
Thank you🥰🤗
Cody loves his mom!!! ❤ Glad you deleted that person. Tired of people being rude behind their computer. Have a good week Melissa!!!
Yes, i am tired of the rude people too!! I never go on other people's social media and make stupid, rude comments. I'd i dont like their videos, or the person, i move on. So many keyboard bullies that need to find a hobby . 🙄🤣😂
You have a good week too!!! 🥰
Check with your neighbor (mike), maybe he and my mom would be interested in buying it. Maybe it could be slid over. I have seen sheds "shifted" by rolling them on PVC pipes. You are right about this country's sad economic situation. I once heard that the USA could become another Venezuela, that went from wealthy to 3rd world because of the government. When you get to Bryson, check with Chamber of Commerce, find out what people/tourists go there for and that may help you decide on where to look for employment. I know someone who used to work on the train as a guide/narrator. It wouldn't be all that different than talking on You Tube. Steady employment might be at Fryemont Inn at the registration desk...maybe?
My mom is trying to take the shed, or give it to my sister i mean. I think they have a way to get it down to NC, not sure.
@@italian_grl OK, just thought I would mention it. And I was speaking for my mom w/o checking with her. With the right utility trailer with ramp, I think it would be able to go.
I understand completely how you feel … high cost of living is so bad! My grocery bill sure is higher … I buy what I can and what I can’t … I don’t! Hope your move is a smooth one … and I know you and Kody will be happy to have ‘Blue’ back! Kody is really going to wonder … what are we doing Mom?? He’ll be happy to get his couch back and you’ll be happy to get your bed back! lol I know I would! God Bless you both! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
I know, Kody is used to out here now, and here we go again, moving!! He will be so happy to get his loveseat back, and yes! I will love getting my bed back! 🤪😂🥰have a great week!!! 💚
Youre right about what you said about animals and people and those kind of people should never adopt animals
Hope everyone stops and thinks about how out of sight every thing is now compared to four years ago when they go vote in November.
AMEN! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Exactly. I never go in to politics with anyone cause some are crazy! Smh. But yeah, i know exactly what u mean.
I rely on my iPhone too, have nothing else either. 😊 Everything So costly! 😢
Exactly. I do it all on this phone!!! That's why i wanted a really good one, cause i was starting my CZcams. 😊
U speak the truth, so down to earth UR. God bless U & Cody 😊 ❤ your channel. 😂
Awww thank you for the kind words!! I'm so glad you like my channel. 🥰🤗
What's JACKED is how we as ppl ain't got NO SAY SO about how everything is increasing We just gotta pay it or get OUT it's so SAD
Yes!! You said it! Exactly. My question is... since the price of EVERYTHING keeps going up, why doesn't the pay at our jobs go up to make it a little more affordable to pay our bills!?! It's crazy, and scary. A lot of people are struggling! And doing whatever they can just to survive.
I hope everyone is paying attention to the campaigns. Dems want to raise taxes. Rep want tax cuts.
Think a lot of people have their tiny homes & RVs paid for so $700 isn’t bad if that’s the only expense you have for the month. People are desperate to find a place to park their tiny homes & RVs so they have to pay whatever someone wants to charge. It’s unfortunate but understandable.
I know a few people that had to finance their tiny homes... so they have that payment on top of the lot rent and other expenses they have. I guess it's just a lot to people struggling, or that don't have really high paying jobs, or can't physicallywork full time.. I don't have an over abundance amount of bills but let me tell you, they really add up quickly!
@@italian_grl well I hate that but if they can’t afford it don’t get it!
Situations change though!! Maybe they got things when they could afford it, and then things went downhill or they lost a good paying job, or got divorced, or had medical bills. This is why i never judge anyone because life happens sometimes.
@@italian_grl I am not judging just saying maybe just just work harder and don't put down how hard you have it! I hate you had to get divorce but has been a while now!
@@rhondalain5966 Quit being rude you never know what people are going through but people like you continue to judge others!
Yep I was told I needed to remove my dog cause he's so big 82 pds. No way will I ever he's my ride or die side kick! I just got a huge shocker when suddenly half my tiny lost power! I had to dip in savings to hire electrician to put in new underground wire from pole to tiny! I own outright my tiny rent lot is resonable but life keeps throwing a monkey wrench into my way its always a storm waiting to kick us. Greed is getting so bad now. Even my vet charged me 268.00 fir 6 months flea heart meds! Chewy it's only 190. Even My vet is price gouging 😢
I'm sorry, it just really sucks sometimes!! I'm glad you still have your dog too. Shame on these places TRYING to MAKE people get rid of their dogs just have housing. It's criminal. People do more damage than dogs! And yes i know what u mean, i can see why some don't get their dogs all the meds they need, look how much they charge! People are so greedy. Hugs to you my friend! I'm here if u need to talk or vent! 🤗🩷
So glad to see your daughter,have a fun time😅🌻🌼🇺🇸
Good luck with the move and everything else going on. (It is ashame that you will have to leave the storage shed behind, it looks beautiful and I'm sure cost a pretty penny to build.)
I'm pretty sure it's not being left behind. My mom will find somehow to get it there.?
I told her she should sell it... kind of an eyesore and it wasn't even done too good.
@@italian_grl That's great that she'll be selling it or getting it down to your new location.
@@italian_grl Hey Melissa, I'm the person that's going to move onto your lot. I'd be interested in talking with you about possibly buying the shed. If interested, let me know and I'll ask Sandra to give you my contact info.
🌸👍🏻🌸
Lazy is beautiful❤❤❤
So glad you are getting things going. Take a lot of time with your daughter!! My brother just passed unexpectedly 3 days ago and my heart is broken. We were only 18 months apart and so we went through school together, a lot of our friends were the same , and he was my bud. My son and his family and my dad are all that's left now.
Awww I'm so sorry for your loss! That is heartbreaking. I know nothing i can say will help, but I'll keep you in my prayers. ❤️🙏
Your daughter is very beautiful, hi Lacy have fun with your mom.
