I totally agree with the first part of your comment. I draw the line, however, wishing anyone live to be 140 years old. If I were 140 years old I wouldn't want to be around the vast majority of people who were 40, 50 or 60 years younger than me. What a snooze fest. Anyone younger than 100 wouldn't want to be around a 140 year old fart for more than a few minutes at a time, and really, who could blame them? Don't get me started on the lack of living relatives and who should decide when driving is no longer a good idea. Quick hide the car keys.

I apologize if I am going all out but isn't it deciding that the lifestyle change is the cause of him looking "amazing" a bit presumptuous? he is 70 and has lived in that house for 2 years. I may be going a bit extreme here but it may be because for the first time in video's from this channel I thought the title was a bit insulting towards the person in the video. The guy owned multiple properties he is actively doing things that he thinks benefit the people around him. The title hints that he is living in this house just to ensure a debt free retirement is a bit much. Again I apologize for going all out, I do not intent to be hurtful but assuming things about people or giving too much weight to one particular thing based on assumptions does not feel right to me.

Great to see a tiny house all on one level and user friendly for an older person. I have often watched tiny house living videos and thought "that's all very well when you are young". Also, I love the idea of community because so many tiny house videos feature people living in splendid isolation.

@rumigirl

5 жыл бұрын

I agree. And what I love about Pete's life is that he has both community AND splendid isolation. Many people seem to have a need for both; at least I do. And I'm bad at giving up things, so it's great to see he hasn't given up anything (of importance, anyway) to live this way. (Lots of people in tiny house videos seem to talk about realizing they can do without material things -- but I don't remember any that talk about this kind of "trade-off" -- which, like the other kind, turns out not to be a "trade-off", after all.) Such a lovely video!

I never knew that there was a "small house community" until I started to get interested in alternate, cheaper ways of living myself.

What a wise old man

Lovely house and even more lovely the cause of this person for building this tiny houses. Congratulations.

Um, this guy is 70 ? Looks younger & has the spirit of 35 year old ! What a Classy, well spoken, happy, calm, content & down to earth person ! I am soooooo Happy for him : ) I hope he is still doing well !! All the Best Peter if you read this ... : )

This is fabulous...here is something though to think about..there are 1000's of older trailers for sale...for $2000 to $3000 and sometimes less...why build something new if you can easily reno something that already has a footprint. a little sprucing up and adding some of the great ideas of this house and voila....movable pods for the homeless!!

bikinggal1 you are absolutely correct as I’ve seen them for sale on CL and other places..that’s my plan however now I have to look at trading in my Kia Soul because I don’t think it’ll tow a trailer.

I think about this also. And it seems trailers would be better suited for traveling than the tiny house?

Mostly plastic/fiberglass shells, with 1/4" paneling and particleboard build-out. So, basically, crap construction with no insulation. Hot in summer, cold in winter. The trailer frame may be usable, but is likely underweight for tiny home weights.

RVs are unbelievably cheap construction and you can’t find quality, even used, on the cheap. We had a hard time keeping warm even in a mild Florida winter! Better off buying a trailer & building. Especially if you can hit up a junkyard or salvage yard. You *can* find cheap or even free materials, especially if you know tradespeople.

Oh yeah he really does. I think if you are full of passion in life and love what you do, that's the real fountain of youth!

This is so great. Love the space... And for only around 10k? That's the icing on the cake. Looking forward to doing something like this in retirement!!!

mickyunit I love you tiny house how smart you are you have a good heart you’re smart and you do amazing jobI need one

One of the most innovative and cost-effective tiny house I have ever seen! Excellent design!

He’s such a stereotypical Canadian. The energy he gives off is calming, friendly, happy and just pleasant overall. Such an inspiration & hard to believe he’s 70!

A lovely episode. ...I think it's your best so far. Perfect little home for 1.

Thanks so much John!

How inspiring! He really knows how to put the Tiny House Movement across to the people who matter, the planners!

A big problem with tiny houses, I think, is the theme of "I do stuff elsewhere." So, one person can't sleep, so goes to an all-night coffee house to work; I entertain in coffee houses, libraries, etc. This is all very well if you have a vehicle, no problem driving at night, suitable places to go and meet people, etc. If your tiny house doesn't sustain your life, it's too small, imo. I am very interested in tiny houses for impoverished elderly, but the elderly in my area would be pretty much homebound.

the gentleman in this video is the only person I have watched say,he does things elsewhere,many people live in tiny homes and entertain,it just seems his preference is he likes the quiet of his home..so he goes out to meet with his friends family...

I know this town (and have met Pete) and everything is a 5-10 minute walk away and the weather is very mild. It's a real treat to be able to live there. Very community oriented. I lived there in a big house and still went out most of the time to socialize.

My girlfriend used to live in a studio apartment. She had her foldout bed folded out in the living room. It was very convenient if you know what I mean. : )

I've found my perfect tiny house! I just need the perfect place to put it. Although, I could easily move along with this baby. I wonder how much it weighs fully loaded? Is Canada more lenient as far as the tiny house movement? I even have the perfect trailer to build this on! No wonder he looks so amazing at 70, he has zero stress in his life which is the way life should be regardless of age if anyone would have asked me I would have told them but nobody asked! LOL! I'm tired of taking care of a house. I'm grateful to have my home but it's not the way I want to spend my life! Everyday when I wake up, I have to decide where to start cleaning. I want low maintenance and just the basic comforts. I might not mind doing the dishes if I only had 2 of everything! I've been getting downsized slowly, only keeping things that mean something to me and most of it is from nature anyway. This is the life for me!
