I love the 12 foot width, and I agree that the walk-in shower would be better with one seat -- or none -- and you could put in your own if you want one. More room to move around in the shower is better! Lastly, I think the stairs could come out a bit more to make them less steep, plus enclosing the storage underneath would be preferred. Very nice park model, though! Love the kitchen and living room area, especially.

I like your feedback on this, to which I would add that whoever built this has no idea how long a piece of clothing on a hanger is. That upstairs clothes hanger might actually work if you lost the shelf above the hanger, and hung the rod higher. With the closet downstairs you could put two rods for more hanging space. I have even hung another rod below that wasn't as long (wide) as the upper rod (attaching it to the upper rod with rope or a chain), and leaving a wee bit of space at one end for a few dresses or anything longer. I totally think that drawers are much better use of space in a kitchen than the standard 24" deep cabinets. The pull-outs are helpful but depending on style can take up some of the room inside the cabinet. If you put windows on either side of the upstairs loft bedroom you could have a divider in the middle (set back enough for walking (crawling? LOL) space at the edge, and curtain off the end for privacy for two kids, or two separate guests, and each space would have its own natural light and ventilation. I'm surprised that they didn't tidy up those cords below the TV. Ugh. Such a simple fix. I don't like sofas or TVs (I have neither) but they seem to be popular. I could totally see four matching comfy armchairs around a round coffee table in that living space instead. I'd have a bathtub rather than a shower, and definitely a medicine cabinet. It can so easily be recessed into the wall! I actually don't like the layout of this bathroom. It feels a bit institutional. But Alexis, your comment about wallpaper is a great suggestion. One could also paint the backsplash in the kitchen for an inexpensive pop of colour. Just use gloss or semi-gloss paint for easy clean-up. Oops, this was long. Sorry you asked? LOL!

@TinyHouseExpedition

Right?! It’s lovely but just dying for some pops of color. 😁 But to each their own for sure; we’re always partial to a more vibrant color palette. Great feedback on closets!

Yes to all the excellent alternatives suggested by hosts, A & C. 👍 The kitchen's U-shaped work triangle is a win! A galley layout may be a necessity in an 8.5' & 10' wide TH, but opening those oven, dishwasher, cabinet, and fridge doors in this home will not impede family, friends, and furpals from passing by.😊 A covered porch is sweet for several options, imo. I'd enjoy it for guest entertainment space--hammock snoozes--wet weather gear coats/boots rack--seasonal decorations.

I think park model mobile homes got an upgrade when Tiny Houses got shoved into that category, but this one was very nice. I agree with the under-ladder broom storage, great idea. The outlet behind the couch is absolutely useless, unless it's wired to a switch, and you put lamps on end tables next to the couch and use that outlet. In the kitchen I noticed the lower cabinets are mostly corner cabinets that are harder to use, I heard someone say that below the countertop should only be draws that pull out to you and above the countertop should be cabinets you reach into, because it just works better. and hooks, lots more hooks.

Hi. I think this modality of the both of you trying a place and commenting your thoughts and thought process is a nice addition and something I haven't seen anywhere else. My suggestion is to alternate these videos with the regular ones where you don't appear and it is all about the owners, etc. Of course you'll see how these fare compared to the regular stuff. You certainly are knowledgeable and your advice and tips have value. Yet in these last videos you also mix an informal look and feel that is kind of more direct, down to earth and friendly. It would be awesome if in the future you could have (own) 1 of each type of tiny house (renting them of course but living in each for a while and commenting long term differences). Cheers

I agree about the shower, just give me a regular walk in, and I'll pug a fold up seat in if ever needed.

Design is everything. The loft is huge but planned all wrong, and the down stairs bedroom looked cramped. And those steep stairs, I could see someone falling late at night. The best thing about this semi tiny house is the kitchen. I wonder if the porch could have been screened in. It blow my mind to see such a big house designed not so great. Makes me wonder if the owners live tiny or just went cheep so they could add another rental.

Hmm not sure about that 🤔 there are only a few park models there now and diverse mix of ages currently. But the tiny home world leans older adult female for sure.

Ok, is a park model the same thing as mobile home, or modular home? I know its different from a tiny house on wheels, but I'm a little confused about what exactly it is.

@TinyHouseExpedition

14 күн бұрын

Completely understandable! It is confusing. The main difference between all of those is what building standards they use and size limitations. Park model RVs can only be 400 sqft; though, small lofts & covered porches are bonus space. They’re also meant for recreational use; however, many local areas don’t restrict year-round use or expressly allow full-time use. Most tiny house on wheels builders built to park model RV standards but exceed them; some can even be certified as modular homes too. Both modular & manufactured housing are built off-site in factories and both are considered residential housing. However, there are many key differences when it comes to strictness of building codes, building materials, mobility, customization, etc. Here’s a great breakdown: www.bankrate.com/real-estate/modular-vs-manufactured-homes/#difference

This is funny viewing as someone from the UK, at almost 400sq ft this is approximately half the size of a standard UK home! So would not really consider this 'tiny', but equivalent to a starter home or flat. It's curious, as you point out, that there are many inefficiencies in terms of space and storage despite being larger than a standard tiny. Makes me think that all homes should do the tiny approach to storage - anything can be a cupboard 😂
