It bothers me so badly that cities are towns are banning these tiny homes, while allowing landlords to make the rental market unaffordable for so many. They rather see ‘tent cities’ than see rows of beautiful tiny homes. All because those people will no longer be paying to the landlords, who been lining their pockets over the years too look the other way. Governments are now given fines too people who are using their own backyards too be build a tiny house, even if it’s for a family member. Now the government is telling people what they can and can not build on their own properties. Yet they make the people who are actually trying look like they are the dead beats of society!
It’s times like this I wish I could win millions, so I could buy land, just so people could bring their tiny homes and live again without worry..
Politicians care about annual budgets they can spend. In the US, those are funded by property taxes...
...law enforcement, fire personnel, 911 personnel, library personnel, city employees (roads, maintenance, city hall, etc)
...budgets for local roads, repair, maintenance/resurfacing, signs, stop lights, etc.
...buildings (police dept, firehouse, libraries, city hall, city pool, etc)
We are talking salaries, benefits, retirement, all the city vehicles, all emergency vehicles, etc.
That's just a quick off-the-top-of-my-head, it's far more complex (and expensive) than you likely imagine. That all has to be paid for by property taxes, maybe with a bit of federal funding thrown in to help out.
Now, think about how inexpensive tiny homes are compared to expensive homes, and think about the differences in a lifetime of property taxes (not just this year, every year, and how that compounds over decades).
Then you also have your narcissists, who don't want people of lower "class" and "lower social standing" living around them. Yes, they sincerely believe that because they're incapable of empathy for others.
I'm a huge proponent of tiny living and have been since 2010 (but I've mostly lived tiny since 1994). Yet, I still understand why city officials are concerned.
You can't have people just self-building structures in their yard that they don't have the education and training to adequately build, and that are not safely habitable, as they can put the entire neighborhood in danger with fire (or god forbid you move in someone who starts hoarding, and the dangers that bring into the neighborhood). Plus, you'll have drug traffickers building meth labs in rental home backyards. There are MANY things to consider because not everyone is a good person, who cares about the health and safety of others (like people who sell and make meth...or traffick humans). You can't be a shallow thinker, you MUST consider all the way this can be abused, misused, and become harmful.
Let's not forget that there are some sick and disturbed people in the world. Like the man who abducted a 10-year-old girl and built a separate home in his backyard, keeping her there until she was an adult and mother of her own child. Jaycee Dugard. That is the kind of thing they have to combat, consider, and try to find how to prevent that from happening.
Their job isn't just to think how to house people, but to keep people from burning the entire town down by having a poorly wired home that was never inspected and permitted, or that slipped off its uneven foundation and slid down the driveway and into a neighbor's yard, knocking down parts of others houses after it collapsed and started sliding downhill. We have enough of that happening already during prolonged weather events with homes on massive foundations.
@@le_th_umm it would still collect per square foot collectively. No it’s because citizens allow it by not putting in crafted elected officials willing to change laws created to satisfy the greedy
I’m honestly not sure why tax paying citizens don’t demand ( un-elect those not on board) the right to build any size & type home. Unless it’s a HOA you agree to ( and they can make up what they want too)- Americans ( and Canadians except they just all get in line with no freedom & nonTrumps grenades to throw back ) dummified to no freedom or rights to life liberty & pursuing happiness by basic land. & home freedom- and all the Democratic Party care about is revenge on Trump & freedom of men to take women sports or twerk in Obama June make homosexuality on steroids ( school agenda, body destruction by mentally I’ll minors unable to drink or vote.
Oh and the Republican Far Right only caring to fire back by election of Trumps in revenge (yes entrusting Nukes to him🤦🏽♀️ )
And meanwhile America 🇺🇸 is 🔥☄️ , low wages, shrinking Middle Class, folks retiring in van 🚐/car as home to avoid skid row.
What the heck is wrong with the voters. Put in coalition folks who will vote for changes you want & not stuff unneeded.
All of you can’t be zombies… right?
This makes me think the tiny home marketing to rich people needs to start BEFORE people begin creating and trying to capitalize on small home markets. That way, those that have money to make changes happen are more motivated to do so
you're so right. With the rental and building crisis, this is such a good idea. WTF!
Yea they change the building code in ontario. 10x10 no permit cannot be used for living only as storage. Just updating for ppl who gonna do the same
Canadaian government is ridiculous. Can y'all go out to eat yet or are you still stuck in your homes hiding from the flu.
This doesn't look like it was meant for living anyway, not in Ontario. Can you imagine having to walk outside to an outhouse in the winter. OR to take an outside shower in the winter. There's barely any shelf room, barely any storage. The kitchen is inadequate. This is a sculpture. I show off piece made by rich people who don't need a tiny house.
It doesn't appear to be "used for living." BTW the actual term in this case is "dwelling" and not every building in which people can sleep is considered a dwelling.
I think she did great with the space.
Sad. So no new building and this was grandfather in.
What a symbol of positive masculinity for a man to leave a safe space like this behind to his widow. Blessings.
In my area you don't need a permit for 120 square feet or less. However, once you decide to put utilities in that space, all sorts of permits and codes come into play.
You can build a Garage with a bathroom,,,, before you build a house,,,, that’s how people get around the codes here in Ms.
Good info. Thanks. After dealing with lot rent, required trailer with appropriate axles, cost of home, permit costs, transport etc, you could have purchased a regular, modest home. Not worth it, I've checked. Not permitted where I live anywhere. So complicated.
I was thinking the same thing. It's not really the size of the building that matters but rather how you use the building.
No one is going to GAF if you slept in it, but once you start installing plumbing, electrical outlets, roofing, etc. you better believe government will come at you with all sorts of permitting and building code requirements. This woman mentioned a well, so it appears she was fortunate to tap into an unregulated and unused water source.
Realistically, you want to bury a 10,000 gallon water tank because waiting until a drought happens is too late to do anything about it. A propane-powered generator and solar panels would be much more realistic options to power whatever needs power.
There are a lot of much more liveable "cabins in the woods" which were built in the wilderness by government agencies across the U.S. They sit abandoned for the sole purpose of temporarily housing lost or stranded hikers who may have got caught in a storm, have no idea where TF they are, etc.
And of course, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. National Park rangers, CIA, FBI and other three-letter agencies stop in and restock these places from time to time. ☠️
@@TuNnL
That sounds nice.
I'd like to see one.
@@TuNnL save water drink beer😂
I feel like this is the perfect place for a spiral staircase to be used. Have an iron one custom made. Would look so sick.
Someplaces, you can build something under a certain size without a permit, but you can't occupy it. Magic loopholes aren't always really that magical. I might do something like this, but I wouldn't tell everyone on the internet.
My thoughts too. We ordered a shed the max size you don't need a permit. It's bigger than when I rented a room called a studio in a converted office. Shared bathrooms and kitchen. Cool though. Art district right outside the door. But I think if we allowed someone to live in the shed we'd eventually be barred and probably fined.
She doesn’t live in it. It’s a glorified adult clubhouse.
She referred to her "house" regarding the water system. She doesnt live in it.
We need to break these rules. Brave new world.
@@TheAnnoyingBoss I agree. But telling the entire world you are doing it is a good way to not be able to do it long.
I love love love the green hanging lamp !!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
That's all I liked was the little green flower chandelier.
No closet no drawers for clothes nothing.
Outhouse 😬
No way!
Love it. BUT what's the deal with all the water damage. That was all I could think about.
Spare bathroom upstairs.
Same, that’s all I saw, was the water stains. Poor planning, bad engineering and possibly a lack of vapour barrier and insulation.
I don't see it. Which part?
@@TheImanuelita anytime they pan to show the full wall. You can see where water has damaged the wood running down from the windows at the top.

Finally, a tiny house video where the house is actually tiny!
What a beautifully done czcams.com/users/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
Stop by a Home Depot, Lowes or local shed builder. Prices vary with quality
Reminds me of a big version of the old red telephone boxes dotted all over the u k in the past , loved them !
Here in the US if it's on wheels you can find even more loopholes since it isn't classified as a permanent structure.
Nice tiny house. You could have a built in closet under the staircase. You could also have pull out draws between the steps for storage. Great idea with building up instead of building out. Love it.
You need to be doing a house like that,👍 brilliant idea
There is a very simple reason they didn't do this: Light. Those windows would all have been blocked up by the Staircase and the ground floor would be very dark.
Where is all your stuff?
Closet to collect junk? 🤭 Draws to fill with stuff? Just shelves to display your spices. Hooks to hang your coat, hat and pajamas.
As someone who is about to upgrade my kitchen and downstairs living area, her comment, “don’t design something ugly.” Really resonated. I’m very artistic so I know ugly when I see it, but I don’t know how to work with 3-D design… furniture with color and texture and sizes, etc. So, it sounds like I will be taking her other piece of advice- I’ll get some help! Lol 😅
PS I like that she compared this to a folly from the past. Wealthy land owners in England would build what looked to be like ruins of some ancient castle onto some piece of their land. Then they would take guests out for luncheons and day trips. So by comparing this red tower to a folly, they didn’t make it for full time living- more like day tripping. (Not “that” kind of tripping! 🙃) aAnd that is why it is a big job for her now that she wants to repurpose and retrofit things to create a more livable space.
I'd have to be tripping to live there full time
madam i dont mean to be frank but erecting a fucking shipping container object into the sky and painting it bright red and harkening it to a folly is *exactly* what "designing something ugly" is.
@@AGripOBabys To each their own, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I always loved tall living spaces like towers ❤
Fabulous tiny!! Love the design and compact but spacious footprint ❤
As an architect, the way this woman talks about this house makes my skin crawl. the humble brag is real. also blaming sb else for not planning a straicase in advance. Golden ratio. Healing the land by building on it. Definitely being not a container, just a container (and japanese?!) "inspired sculpture". Holy lord, so much BS crammed into such a short span of time, bless her. And don't build something ugly!! 😂
You are a mean architect who can't spell the word "staircase" properly.
Did you like that? Did you like how I said mean words to you? No. No, you did not. And yet you say mean things about the nice lady. You should sit in the corner and think about what you did, young man.
Architects hate Landscape Architects like Doctors hate Dentists hahaha. But yeah she's cringe.
She enjoys it, YT readers enjoy it! You don't need to design tents, or outhouses. Some people want to get away, take some risks and cannot afford a quality safe structure designed by an architect.
I would love it for an Art Studio! Perfect!
Exterior wrap around stairwell that leads upstairs that can be enclosed wider steps as storage by them wrapping around the height gives plenty of enclosed space.
Awesome… there is always a LOOP HOLE 🕳 😊👍 🏡
Very nice!! You’re setting the stage. It’s alway good to see more ways to go tiny!! The view is priceless.
Love your red box home. Good for you building it!!!
Hello Rebecca how are you doing today
I built a 196sq ft tiny house like 4 years ago with a 96sq ft upper loft and a 100sq ft first floor. The loft has a 2x8 removable floor on one side so you could get furniture up there and still have a whole floor minus the 2x2 ladder entrance in one corner. It can sleep 4 people and had a full kitchenette with a toilet and an outdoor shower because I built it beside my existing water spigot and ran an appliance extension cord out to it and made it a temporary building by using the weight of the second floor loft to hold the first floor together because the first floor was built out of concrete blocks that were only mortared for the base since you need a permit for anything higher than 4ft with concrete blocks but built as square shaped retaining walls. I loose placed the rest of the blocks to a height of 6"4 since you can stack blocks up to 6"8 without having to mortar them. I then built the loft with a heavy timber frame that was checkered to add extra support to the upper floor since the flooring would be missing 2ft of floor that was open to below and I couldn't use 2x10s for the loft flooring because of the air gap it would create at the top of the concrete blocks so I covered the block tops with flat 2x8s to seal them off and then used 2x6x10s across an 8x10 area and then added 2x4x8s laid flat across the 2x6s so that it created square timber support for the upper floor and then I had a pole installed by the ladder which doubled as a handrail for the loft ladder and the support beam for the open side of the upper loft.
I used a bathroom over the toilet storage rack as floating hanging shelves in my kitchenette that were suspended from the exposed upper koft rafters and 2 of those (minus the legs that came with them) perfectly held all of the dishes and kitchen utensils and such and I built the kitchenette out of an old grill bottom so there were shelves in the middle with two empty spaces on each side of it which I put short barstools in and the shelves were the perfect size to fit a microwave and small convection oven. I built a butcher block countertop for it (after removing the grill) and then beside it I put a mini fridge with a stove eye on top of it. I bought a backpack that had a built in water pouch with a tube you could drink water out of and I cut the pouch out of the bookbag and hung it above the countertop with a small sink tub that also hung on the wall beside a dish drying rack so I could pull it down off the wall and wash dishes in and then put back up so that my counter space could be used as the dining area or office space too. I then suspended a small metal shelf from the rafters and had space for a small tv, toaster, George foreman grill, silverware, measuring cups and whatnot. All of that fit into a 2x7 area of the first floor which gave me a 2x3 toilet area which has roll up bamboo curtains that went all the way to the floor around the toilet but could also be rolled back up and a cushion could cover the toilet (which had a lid) while hiding it if I needed an extra seat.
There was also a futon loveseat with an end table beside it that an antique typewriter sat on and a small trunk that doubled as a coffee table and that was the first floor. - Living room area that also could sleep 2 people, dining area, kitchen, office & bathroom in 100 SQ ft.
The upper loft has a queen sized mattress in it, a 2x4 closet, two 4 drawer plastic dressers, a headboard, mini cubby holes and an antique leather topped end table with a small tv & DVD player sitting on it.
I covered the outside with vinyl siding to hide the change from concrete block to timber framing and then added a slanted metal roof. It stands a smidge over 12 ft tall and it cost me $34 dollars to build it by using donated and recycled and repurposed materials for it all and I just barely got by without needing a permit by using the materials the way that I did.
Could I reach out to you to see this structure of yours? Sounds interesting!
No doubt about it, it’s absolutely amazingly and stunningly beautiful!!!
I absolutely love the regular creative videos I've gotten used to from you, but I'm definitely interested in how you go about making them as well, I could see a balance between the two working well here. That said I would be sad if the more high effort videos started dissapearing
you could side Murphy bed the loft, and get the lounge made modular so it could be moved, yet still built in....... great space,,, love it...... looks like a big red phone box, in an awesome way
What an absolutely wonderful set up
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing your home and story ❤
In our county anything you can walk under needs a permit , always check with permitting.
I always wanted an excuse to have a spiral staircase.
This would be a great design for one since there isn't much furniture up stairs to make it cumbersome
Id like a Fireman’s pole.. AKA.. a stripper pole 😂😂😂
I thought a spiral staircase would be awesome. It’s been a huge mistake. They aren’t practical. Especial for elderly, obese, etc. I am in the process of trying to redesign a more traditional staircase in a very size challenged space. Terrible idea.
@@Dontcomeformepeople that's true as spiral stairs take up a good footprint and you cant build anything into them or under them and they are a pain to go up and down
@@artmosley3337 Same!!! 😂😂😂
An elevator would be better for older people you could put an outdoor staircase as an escape if need be. I know it would spoil the looks of the building you could hide it in the back of the building. 73
Work smarter not harder! Good for them, brilliant idea. Love it!❤
OH My goodness. Fantastic
I love the square window sculpting.. :-)
Adorable place. I would love to live in a place like that.
This is amazing build great job
Very Nice!! Thanks for sharing it!
I watched this over & over never get tired 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯five stars
Absolutely gorgeous I love this your design it is just awesome it's beautiful
It looks pretty horrid from the outside, in my opinion, okay on the inside though.
Love this so much!
I love how you design as you learn more
I kept telling people there's a square footage loophole, and you proved me right. There is a minimum that you could build without the need of building permits, I'm sure it depends on one's location to, I know some places even have limits on how high one can build. Really great idea, neat tiny house.
Yes for building a SHED or temp structure but there is still an OCCUPANCY ISSUE, so it doesn’t negate that. Now if you live in say the sticks or in a county that has no building restrictions … you can do whatever you want. I would say since they’re so concerned about permitting, they ARE subjugated by building codes and restrictions which would then mean that this is NOT legal, they could be fined and forced to tear it down or risk having a lien placed on their property.
The whole loophole isn’t really relevant to occupancy of the structure, it’s ONLY relevant to building it. That’s the reason tiny homes have such a large following as they (mostly) circumvent building codes, regulations and restrictions as they are by definition a vehicle. With that being said… there is yet another issue that arises w tiny homes as some locations, counties, states etc have it stated that you cannot have occupancy in a vehicle. Even IF classified as an RV it gets tricky there too, as some law states you can’t have year round occupancy in an RV…. It’s a whole freaking conundrum that’s relevant to your situation, kind of “home” but most importantly YOUR LOCATION and it’s own laws, regulations and restrictions.
If you buy or park any of them on a property that has no building restrictions then you’re good but if not, you have to be prepared and have a plan for what might happen if someone finds out you’re living in a shed, tiny home, Rv or Van and be ready to move it. Much of the “alternative” lifestyle is a accepting that it’s not fully accepted and being prepared for it. Knowledge is power.
@@loduke3905 Thank you. Everyone is ignoring the occupancy issue. FYI, there are no jurisdictions in CAN or USA that do not have building codes. There re still a few without zoning, which confuses some people. The outdoor shower and outhouse would also be against the law in at least half the counties in the US.
@@timlyman4892 agreed. I'm sure I intermixed same of the official wording but in respect to building codes I am only referring to tiny homes which circumvent building codes as it is on wheels, classified as a trailer and in a "gray" area. Either way, people just need to take a little extra time and do the research before building or spending their hard earned money thinking it'll all work itself out. For many that could be devastating economically. Cheers
Some places do have height limits on allowed footprint, and permits required if adding concrete base, occupation, electricity, or plumbing. But cool idea and design. Just beautiful!
16 ft tall is the limit where I live
Really inspiring! Thank you
Love it looks like lots of peace.
0:13 is this water damage?
Yep…likely leaking windows…
I love it. Very very minimalistic. I just didn’t see a closet for your clothes. It is beautiful!
Leave them on a wall hook, Our there, not many clothes are needed.
This is still my favorite build. Love the outdoor kitchen, keeps the moisture outside. (Outside shower too).❤❤❤
Stunning. It's beautiful. ❤️
"Don't design something ugly" O.M.G.!. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent I Love your Beautiful Home!❤😁
beautiful, thank you for sharing
fantastic good luck all the rest of the way
This house looks really bespoke it looks like a cool Bristish phone box 🙂.
Regardless of size, you need a permit for the electrical work that was done. That is not exempt from a permit and inspection.
not if it is solar power and not grid connected ;-)
This is incredible!
This is my favorite tiny house of all time.
Where I live, you can build 10 x 10' but only one storey, and you can't live in it without an occupancy permit.
That's the entire US and Canada. Some areas allow up to 20 x 20, but still only allow one storey, and you can't live in it without an occupancy permit.
Great idea, ever thought of a water from air machine and a composting toilet. I have seen a large net as a floor in your void next to your sleeping area.
Nice! Thank you!
Very beautiful design.
Cool idea...spiral staircase probably would be safer...and does seem like a lot of leaking at some point..unless they used wood that was already damaged and that is how they kept the low budget...if so i think I would have sanded
Ida had a large step ladder w storage on sides
I was noticing the water staining, too. We had a house that was shiplap on the inside and metal roof A frame on the outside. It did this. It’s the condensation between the layers. So, not a full leak that you need to be worried with, but definitely annoying.
Anyone thinking to build something "2 story" for a tiny home like this, you can build the staircase outside the house like for a deck, and it may still not need a permit. Put a door at the top 👍
Maybe a basement with 10'0" ceiling height.
Thanks for the info.
Maybe the stairs could be converted into storage at least near the bottom? Gorgeous land!! So lovely.
Be aware that to know when no permit is needed it is important to know what a permit is needed for. Permits are different in different places.
Good for lands where no permits are needed.
Can you still avoid permitting if you build several 10x10 structures (some distance apart) and connect them with "hallways"? Probably not but it's a thought. Or maybe connect them with tunnels underground?
I think that depends on the local regulations, and if you are living in city limits, etc.
If the hallways are fully connected then they're definitely considered part of the structures and it would be considered a single piece.
Could have awnings with windbreaks in-between that serve as hallways.
Hope it's a mild climate though. If it's a place that requires significant heating or cooling you're setting yourself up for massive energy bills with small units exposed to the elements like this.
You should check the city/county regulations on non permitted structures in your area.
I live in Arizona and you can have up to a 400sqft structure that doesn't need permits. Some areas like in the city it can be up to 200sqft.
If you buy land that already has old structures on the property. You can rebuild them or build them larger. Because they are grandfathered in from the previous land owner.
@@priestesslucy3299 the smaller the unit is, the easier it is to heat, ironically. If you build "soda can" solar heaters along the walls you will be very comfortable even in winter
Waaajajaja...
One of my favorites! 😍
It's wonderful
The irony! "Don't design something ugly" as the camera pans over a red building sticking out like a sore thumb in the landscape. Not sure I'd want to hire experts to design a house. Check out Lloyd Kahn's books to see what dilettantes design.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. And then she totally lost me when she described farming as destroying land.
I looked at some land 25 years ago in CO selling in 5 acre parcels, then thought of it again a few months ago and looked up the homes built on those lots. Pretty, rustic wooden structures that blended into the wooded 5 acres? Nope. Big 5000 sq ft modern mansions. I was so disappointed 😥
Hello Judy how are you doing today
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Look at all the comments!!! Many Love It!!
A few are Artists that want a retreat!
@@katydid2877 See, all your fault! This is why they have strict zoning laws, to prevent Bill Gates from being a neighbor!
Since this is in Canada I'm guessing Zoning Laws are different because this wouldn't be allowed in all but ~8 Counties in the entire USA because it's a Domicile. All Counties that require Building permits in the USA have language stating that you cannot reside in an "Outbuilding" like a shed, even if it's under the SQFT maximum to require a permit.
These are all illegal as domiciles.
But you can live in a tent on a public sidewalk in any Democrat city. Meth optional.
@@oliveater2358 OR many Republican run Cities... Let's keep it REAL! ~Dr. J.

@@DJohnsonPsy lol, no. You keep it real demonrat
Her dearth of knowledge is really helpful 👍🏻
It’s adorable!
Check the codes in your area. Many have a height limit as well as size. Another limit is that the measurement is not the walls. But the roof overhang as well. It's what the inspectors call, "The shadow at noon" (pretending the sun is directly over the structure).
Buy a good size piece of property away from building codes and prying eyes
Sorry about the loss of your partner. Nice looking place you got there. Would local regulations allow you to have other towers like this one that you could link together with second story platforms/bridges or enclosed decks? Perhaps if you do choose to build another tower you might consider using a small house elevator? It doesn't have to be one that is entirely electric. When I was a teen my boarding school had a hand operated OTIS platform style freight elevator. There was a motor but it never worked. We'd either pull on rope to move the platform up or down. Later the seniors designed and installed a crank mechanism that was geared for hand operation and stationary bicycle so that we could peddle our way up and down the elevator shaft. It was certainly a creative solution.
That is awesome 😎
love this ! yesss
Desig by Design, Bugged by Bugs... I love it! haha
Love tiny houses! So cute! You probably can fit a small barhroom+shower under the stairs.
Never thought about it where is the bathroom? We don't live in the 1900s. I guess you can have a modern outhouse with a running water toilet. I saw one in PA where there were cottages everywhere. Not too many people lived there all year around. In fact the community water was turned off in late fall before freezing weather came along. (Shallow water lines). 73
She is awesome and so is this home.
Wow this is very cool!
01:10 Land that needed healing, that has been destroyed by farming!
What a statement!
First thing I thought of is does the 10ft parameter apply to the footprint on soil? Wonder if able to expand living area as long as it doesn't touch the ground(imagine something like a mushroom)
Great idea bro
10 ft is only for outbuildings - not places people live in. She's breaking a ton of laws.
do you think she lives here because she doesn't want to have larger and nicer house ??? or because corrupted government make everything for people won't be able to afford that house
@@timlyman4892 You got it! It is only an outbuilding. Not a residence. 🤭
As the owner said it is modelled on a folly, an architectural sculpture. They set it up to write and be creative in not to live in. It is beautiful and perfect for what it was intended.
She never sleeps there, well just to take a nap!
I think with a small space like that, I would have tried to build the stairs outside spiral around the house. The tiny house looks amazing congratulations.
This someone you would see on my Minecraft map, lol i love it!
Wonderful space.... Love it !
How lovely! I adore what you have done…and I bet it smells fantastic with the cedar! ♾💎
what a beautiful house!
Looks like you had a fun time building it and enjoy the space that it created for you both while he was around, and now he has left you with those great memories to continue cherishing.
All the folks on here nitpicking your 10x10 with loft... while they live in an 8x12 van 😅
If I had unlimited height I would have built that tower so much taller so I had a magnificent view. Cute space for a weekend not full time living
If the footprint issue is the only one, why not a few 10x10 towers linked by walkways on different floors? Something more organic to puzzle piece into the environment.
Trump Tower!
Looks like u could add another floor to the top and have a personal mini
Sky scraper. I love it.
I paid $23k cash for my 400sqft home in Tx. So blessed
This is beautiful 🥰 what a fantastic location 😲. I certainly could live here 🤗🇭🇲
I think most jurisdictions the small shed can be built without a permit but cannot be used as a dwelling. Also there is a height limit as well.
One of my relatives did that. It has a bathroom and kitchen, meeting all the necessary requirements for a dwelling, but it's not a dwelling, It's just beautiful, the shed and the surroundings. They use it on weekends, holidays, and for family gatherings. After retirement, he and his wife plan to move there permanently and acquire the necessary permits for that. He mentioned that going this route is easier than obtaining a building permit from the start.
Yep, looks like a large storage shed to me! Never seen anyone sleeping there.
@@PinePondCTDevilsHopyard-fy3hj of course, looks like no one ever lived in it. Just stuff inside.
Destroyed by farming?
Probably land bought by the CCP and abandoned.
Oh I Love this. LOve this. LOVe this. LOVE THIS.
Very extraneous unique tiny house
Unless the woodgrain is unusual - it looks like there has ben alot of water damage in this home - perhpas I'm wrong.
I like it but yes what's all that moisture damage on the WALLS?
I would have put a balcony at the top!
I think it looks like a phone box so that's what I would have called it.
THE PHONE BOX ☎️
Love it!
Very cool!
All these opinions she has on how you should do/design everything yet not one thought on maybe designing a dwelling to be waterproof.
And it’s not like a window was left open once on a rainy day. That is damage over time.
Caulk may be in next year's budget. Are you available to visit next year?
