Adorable Tiny House Built By Love, Family and Community
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This tiny house is beautiful. It's cleverly designed, skilfully built, warm, well insulated and cosy. What truly makes it a home though is the story of it's DIY construction and how a loving and supportive family and community came together to make this young woman's dream possible.

My mom's family wasn't rich, but they were 6 sons who were all skilled carpenters. They would get together and build a house for each family member when they needed it. Family can be wonderful if they are there to help each other.

I will never understand the people who make rude, unkind remarks about the folks who’s tiny home sits on land owned by their parents. In many countries, it’s a time honored tradition amongst farm and ranch families with 3 or more generations sharing the land, but each in their own house. I think the ones who attack these folks are just spitefully jealous. Sad. I love that this young lady’s family helped her achieve her dream.

This one brought tears to my eyes.. she built it with her dad, the love she has for her house, and I love how you see the peace in her eyes. This one was great!
What a sweet lady and adorable tiny home but even more a testimony to loving relationships and kindness - made me smile the whole way through. Wonderful Dad too of course! Thanks for this - watching it was a real treat.

Hello Wendy
Now if only the entire world could treat each other like this woman, her family and community and live in that amount of gratitude, giving and humility. We'd be absolutely set as a species and planet.
I love how close she is to her family. I miss the days when my pops and I drank coffee in Starbucks every morning and I lived on the other side of the city. He lives in different continent now. Family is so important.
Tiny house people are some of the most humble and warm people. Downsizing to me is a spiritual movement that makes you appreciate more the material things you have and less the throw away consumerist lifestyles based on wanting more to fill the void created by modern expectations!!!!!!

Robin Corprew sure she is blessed. That’s what family is all about. Helping each other. Especially a parent to a child? It doesn’t seem like she is anything short of grateful and extremely appreciative. She didn’t need to mention the loan from her parents but she did. And a loan is just that. How do you know she isn’t making monthly installments to them? And paying for her portion of electric? You seem almost angry or jealous that she has parents that are able to do that for her. My mom is not able to ever or has ever been able to help me with money once in my life. It doesn’t make me bitter when I see someone that does have parents who have the finances to help them.

This was one of the nicest stories on youtube. Her parents are a blessing to her. First buying the land and then helping her build her home. It's especially nice that she can wake up and have time with them. They all have their own space. I love it. And what a nice place Oregon!! I would like to visit there sometime.

A very happy Thanksgiving to all of you! This is a very special Thanksgiving for me, because it's actually my very first one that I will celebrate in the USA! I have an Auntie who lives in Missouri and I have travelled to spend the day with her and my Uncle. She has lived in the US for a long time, and this is the first Thanksgiving that she will share with one of her New Zealand family members, so it's a very special occasion for us. I think this could be one of my favourite holidays. It's not about presents or anything superficial, just good food, connecting with loved ones and taking a bit of time out to reflect on the things that we can be thankful for in life. One of the things that I am very grateful for in life is all of you who subscribe, watch, like and share my videos and contribute to making this show possible. Thanks and love to you all!

Hello April your smile is priceless
There’s something about living a more simpler life that is so relaxing and stress free, this is my goal.....❤️🏡
This has to be one of my favorite stories. I have an Amish background and I bet my family and friends would enjoy a good old fashioned "house" raising! Maybe that is how we will build our tiny house once we have transitioned out of our van. Thank you for the idea Karissa!
Favorite tiny house story for me, I think, because this home is not just a house made of lumber & supplies, but a dwelling place knit together with love. Also, in a time when too many young women wait to buy (or build) a house until they collide with the "right" person, this young woman has a relationship with family, friends & this home that love helped build, so she's not just in limbo, but living. I love that!
What an incredible home. It's amazing that they built this themselves for $20,000. Beautiful!

Emily Che Oh my goodness, Emily, I just have to laugh!!! I made some comments, and after I posted I am reading through other viewers comments and just saw yours. It is crazy, but we wrote almost exactly the same things-ha,ha!! That has never happened to me before, but I guess it just confirms what is portrayed in this video. At first I thought the size of the house was much too small-for me, the one thing I really would want is a comfortable sofa, one that a person can lay back on and lounge with a good book on a cold, rainy day. And that sofa in this Tiny House just does not seem comfortable at all. But then after viewing the entire video the entire house just seems super cozy, and it fits the owners personality. She seems like a very kind, gentle spirit and that feeling is clearly reflected all throughout the video.
This is one of my favourite houses - I just love the story. Some tiny houses are great for the technology and some for the great space saving ideas, others for the lifestyle and minimalist ideals. But this is about love, community and connection. I love that.
The way her face lit up when she talked about working on this with her dad was so precious. Lovely

This episode was for me like a meditation. This tiny home has its own soul, what was created by these beautiful people. Thank you Bryce to make this video! Wish the best!
I was telling about these videos to a friend of mine and he is recovering from a spine surgery and is disabled at the moment. He says these videos disheartened him because all the videos seem like despite these houses being on a level by the nature of the whole shipping container style housing, they are clearly for able bodied people. I would love to see some videos of tiny houses owned by people with mobility issues and I sure hope they exist!
While listening to her talk, you can almost feel the warmth of her relationship with her parents! How come we don’t see this side of America that much!
I absolutely love how when you get up to the loft, you always have the most infectious smile, like a child climbing into a fort for the first time. Thank you for sharing not only these beautiful houses, but also the soul of those who call them home.
