Thank you for the drive-by at that place. So many things to have to consider. Kody is so lucky to have you keep his needs in mind while you look for a place. You do indeed have to be picky. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of toy Kody will choose with the gift card. 🥰🤗❤
Absolutely, be picky. Too damn close together. Keep looking. There was another CZcams channel that discussed the article that your local paper did on ITH. Very interesting. 50 Plus Life 360. Is the name of the channel. The ITH Cult followers were out in force.
Yes! They were vicious! Saying all kinds of negative stuff about you and your mom and I had to speak up and defend you and your mom in the comments! Those people and some of the residents can be a bit rude!😢
Oh yes, that totally can. That's why i don't watch many videos. All the randy worshippers out there!!! I just pray they see the truth some day... maybe they need something similar to happen to them to finally see the truth. It is what it is. I won't go there with those rude people, but i do thank you for sticking up for me and my mom.🥰 We know the truth!!! I think most can tell how we are, we are not fake like randy and Amanda!!!
@@YvetteabbyI really hate to say this, but the fan girls are getting to the gag are at the high level. Many people are happy, but then there are the fan girls.
@@italian_grl The couple on 50 plus life 360 didn't say anything negative about you, they stated they watched your channel, used your situation as an example of customer's experiences. They've been attacked by the cult worshippers as well.
I would be as picky as you want to be! You need to feel comfortable! ❤
Hi, wherever you choose to live, I would drive by different times of the day like morning afternoon and evenings to see what’s going on in the neighborhood.
What I'd really like to see is more people developing Tiny home communities so that there are more choices for you and others without crazy high rents. The best thing would be fairly flat land with some trees. They need to use their own money or a loan to develop the land. If people use older trailer parks, the infrastructure is already there. Make sure there's grass on at least 1/2 the lots, a laundry mat and community room/ center. Then add a dog park and/ or walking trail, as rents come in and the owners' funds increase .
Yes, exactly my thoughts!!! So many people see the need for places to put tiny homes but they're jacking up the rent and taking advantage of people not having a place to put their tiny home!! I think it's terrible!!! People don't have to charge as much as they do and for what??? U don't even get a darn hard. Smh
Im in the same perdicament some what like you... now that I'm working at Dollywood I'm looking to try and move close and be in a campgrounds with a nice camper...here is what ive been doing to get an idea of/on location...go onto google and put in long term campsites and where you want to be...ive been getting a lot on fb and i ceck into them and some will give you an idea of their location...but there are a lot in the Newport area...even check on your fb market place and put in what your looking for and area make sure they say that their long-term plus you can contact them and ask them your questions thats what im going to do with the ones that I've been writing down...im thinking more of the Newport area because theres less traffic there compared to Pigeon Forge area...good luck
I wouldn't want to be under a power line & people always driving by your lot. Sure wouldn't be very private... 🙄 The right place will show up for you & your boy. I'm glad you are being patient. Please give Kody a belated Happy Birthday hug & kiss for me! 😘💕
I agree with you. You should have a place/lot for you and Cody's comfort. For those who have a house that is 8 - 8.5 ft wide and 16- 30 Ft long and under 13 ft tall, with a vehicle that is very capable of towing it, that is great. But houses that are over 8.5 ft wide need special transport to be moved, and that can be expensive.
I hope Cody had a great birthday. I hope you have a good day too, and wishing you positive luck to find a lot, or switch houses on the lot that you are on. Too bad you couldn't switch refrigerators too. That Magic Chef fridge is real nice size for a Tiny House. I have been able to get quite a bit in mine, and my freezer also, I love my Magic Chef fridge. I had another one that my brother-in-law picked out after we all moved to the house we are into back in 2012. This Fall it will be 12 years in this house. That fridge didn't work anymore, so I got it replaced with the Magic Chef fridge, just like your mom's. This one has a bit more room, especially in the freezer. The other one was a Magic Chef, that lasted a decade. I have a good feeling this one will last at least that long. It has been over a year, just after Christmas 2022.
I like the Galanz retro style fridges, but the Magic Chef seems to have a roomier freezer which really helps, and the fridge part is awesome and more up to date. It even has a place for a six pack of can beverages.
Those are two Woody’s from ITH that are waiting on BC or the mountain…I seen one of the owner’s post on FB about those lots
I wonder if those wood houses had their exteriors stained or whatever treatment given? They're exposed to the elements and wood will deteriorate if not treated. I've read a BBB or Yelp review wherein the client/ owner said that his house was left outside on the lot for several months. He couldn't take possession of it because it needed some repairs but the company (ITH) wasn't responding.
ITH will not fix anything or return your call’s or emails. Randy Jones, is a huge liar, thief & Con-man. He will be shut down sooner, then U think. IRS will investigate him on taxes. He will be done for it. Amber was very smart to exit the sinking company. Just like a sinking ship, won’t be long & ITH will be another bankruptcy or seized by the Federal Government. 😮
@@ohHappyDay-zi9mr good to hear that they're stained. Still, those houses are deteriorating by being exposed to the elements (and the owner hasn't lived in them yet).
@@kitty_s23456 - Both are owner occupied. They are just living there until BC opens.
Yes, great location. You can bet that they will get filled up especially because of that. Lola's is just too far and I wouldn't like the isolation. This place could be a contender if you could pick the best lot that is left that would fit your and Cody's needs. You never know when new places will be developed but with that it seems the price tag keeps getting higher and higher. 🥰
Hey Melissa, I wanted yo let you know that you and your mom's tiny house situation was discussed on another YT channel, 50 Plus Life 360, a good discussion about ITH, a few of your viewer commented as well.
I found this channel after watching 50 plus life. 😊. As someone who considering going tiny and moving south in future the information from them hand Melissa has been extremely valuable.
@@lizzym9029hi. Before picking a builder, read reviews from Google, Yelp, FB, BBB, etc. Also, I suggest to watch the vids of Christina Smallhorn, a realtor. She has many vids abt TH, modular & manufactured homes, their pros & cons, etc.
I Agee with you when it comes to the poor animals!!
You have to be happy where you live. I didn’t think that would be very good with those hills. The right thing will come along. You can always find work wherever you are. The main thing is to be at peace with where you live!
You are so sweet. I love Kody.
Would you consider moving to another state? There is a new tiny house village being developed outside of Floyd VA. Lots of grass!!, The name of it is Mountain Haven tiny house village.
@@italian_grl I’m always looking myself. I want a tiny house in Maine or New Hampshire. Want my own little acre. With grass!!!! 😂
They only allow houses built by their builder. Tiny House listings. No other tiniest allowed
Hi Melissa!!! Hope you have a good day today!!
Keep looking!!!
Do you still work at North Face? Are you still on the list for an apt. close to your mother? At least you are checking everything out and not rushing your decision.
Keep in mind of hoa rules if theres no rules in place against this, but grass seed and plant your own grass for Cody! ❤ u can make your own dream yard using grass seed and cute little fences . Some of the big box stores have very pretty wood fences up to 4 feet tall, in sections, and pretty afforable surprisingly. Maybe by 1 section at a time as money affords. Each section is about 3-5 feet long. They piece together like a puzzle. What great spaces tho u drove thru. Definitely be picky! 😅 u gotta be! Its for the the long haul. Maybe chill out in your car there for lunch and dinner times eating , parked with windows open, see thenpatterns of neighbors in the spots u like. I agree with u i cant take dogs barking out of distress and being out in hot or cold ugh breaks my heart. I couldnt live next to that type of suffering 😢 or just plain ole chained up all day n night with no attention ugh 😭
Other than not being close to anything, I like where you currently live better.
Yes, i like Lola's better. Love the location where i looked today, but.... keep on searching!!
That's across from my storage unit...we moved to the grove but the hubs always keeps his eyes out on places...we should get together sometime now that we made it down from montana😊😊😊
What exactly happened in your experience with ITH? Can you explain please?
Good job at least looking at the place. You might just want to talk to Lola to see what she says. This way you have an answer either way. That was just a suggestion. Great to see you my friend. Good luck,
I wouldn’t want a place where everyone is on top of each other and no place to walk Kody. Keep looking something will turn up I just know it. 😊👍🏻❤️
I liked the way the houses were placed it made it so you aren't facing the neighbors like a regular neighborhood. The rent is good plus I seen a lot of grass. It is certainly one to consider.
Have you checked out Lakeland Ridge RV and Tiny Home Community in Beanstation
Those are probably temporary places for the ITH houses until they open bc and the mtn
It's too bad you're not happy with i t h
I think they're marvelous and offer a lot of different options....
Personally I think I T h offers a lot of different options on houses and on where to put them.... You obviously must have had a falling out with someone there too bad for you...
@@jayemowrey1416OH, IF YOU ONLY KNEW THE TRUTH!!! BY THE WAY…NO I DIDN’T BUY A HOME FROM ITH AND NEVER WILL!!!
@@jayemowrey1416hahaha. Did you buy from him? You’ll know the truth once you give him your life savings and don’t get it back.
I would talk to them and see the lots!!
Yes, Lola's is definitely better. You haven't mentioned anything about swapping tiny homes, so I'm guessing the quote from the move guy was really high. ☹Hang in there, your place will show up when you least expect it. Glad you had a good delivery day at least and you didn't have to go out of your way to check that place out. Have a great week!
I haven't asked yet, actually! I've been busy working every day since i only have my one job right now. I plan on asking him asap! I'm taking a day or two off real soon! Just trying to get a little ahead!
As a temporary thing are there any openings at the Dollar General you mention that is close by where you currently are? Just a thought for the time being as I would definitely stay where you are compared to the place you showed. Way to close...
I already asked at dollar general, for my second job, in addition to my delivery job but they aren't hiring. If they are hiring, it's pretty part time, i mean like 10 hrs part time lol. But it's close!!!
@@italian_grl I was hoping that was a possibility for the time being. Sending prayers that answers come soon so you can finally take a breather and feel settled...
It's hard to find land to buy to put a tiny home on. I've been looking at different places for a while in various states.
I wish you could find a nice acre of land you could put your tiny on and then it would be your own place ❤🙏🏻😊
I think that's what Teresa of "Rhinestones and Wrinkles" did. She bought an acre of land, put utilities in and is now building a shed-to-home conversion (as per her county's rules). Tiny homes are not allowed in her new area so she sold her TH and is doing a new build.
Yes, i do too... but i don't have the money for all that. I wish i did, but i don't.
Tiny house, tiny lot. Not for me, but it will need to a condition. You are right about the relocation charge. Hopefully this will shake it out and better options will present.
I would like being close to Walmart but I would keep looking,to close together ~
Agreed!!! Location was perfect but.... yeah.... that's about it. Keep on looking!
Acony Bell Tiny House Community is beautiful! It’s about half an hour outside of Asheville, NC. No idea what the lot prices are. They have plenty of grass.
It's expensive there. I checked that out years ago. Expensive to me anyways!!
@@italian_grlBeautiful place but I consider it expensive as well. It has new owners and I believe the rent is $700 a month.
@@raysun2beYes that place it beautiful yet expensive and have a wait list if I am not mistaken.
They looked like some tiny homes … mobile homes and RV’s … ?? Did you like it! No trees are there? $400 monthly?
Are you talking about moving your Tiny House in place of the one you have now! I am confused … not unusual for me! lol 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
The homes seem to be too close to the road. Too close for you and your beautiful doggie
👍❣️🌻🌻🇺🇸👍
Yes, pays not to make a hasty decision. There will be tradeoffs no matter where you end up. There is no perfect place. :)
Yep, that's for sure... but that's why i weigh my options! What's most important to me to have, and that's grass/ space outside for Kody.
Move ANYWHERE cheap. Save money for 2 years, work like a beast & buy land & be free forever!!
❤call first and see if they have more private flatter areas before you say anything. Stop and talk to the owners. You won't know what all they have until you talk to them.
Isn't that common sense to see the owners, before making judgments. They might have other areas. Who knows
New place opening up near Charlotte and ashville nc. Tiny home community. As for this video. It may not be for you. That's ok. I don't think I would like it with my dog. It would be a pain to have to drive to take him for a walk.
You must be picky or you could get moved into a very bad neighborhood situation.
My dogs and their comfort and happiness are the most important thing to me. Don't compromise where your dog is concerned! The right place will turn up. Sending hugs. 🥰
