The pothole windows are cool but not very practical for the sleeping Loft. You need something larger for cross ventilation with some screens. 🇬🇧

I like the overall design of your tiny home and the port holes are a neat idea, but in the hot summer months. You're going to regret not having windows on both ends in the sleeping loft for cross ventilation. It's going to be toasty up there and not have a second exit.

Moving that mattress didn't make you look stupid it made you human. We've all had these problems but you pushed through and laughed. Congratulations it looks beautiful. Great job.
I think the fact that you built this is the best. The satisfaction must be absolutely fabulous. I SAY GOOD ON YOU.

Don't know what I liked best: your choice of music, the (hilarious) struggle with the mattress, or your blatant enjoyment of the finished bedroom! 👍😆

Should have gotten a purple. Comes compressed in a box.
Right on man! I gotta say, your mindset of finding humor in your struggle with the mattress seems like a surefire way to happiness - self-deprecation at times of struggle kind of takes the wind out of the sales of the frustration! Thanks for that reminder :)
Love it! Id probably make the bedroom window large enough to escape from if there's a fire (from personal experience), but you did an amazing job!!! Best of luck with your new biz venture!
I love the design of your cabin but I would seriously consider putting an exit window or two on the loft, maybe one at either end. Would be nice to know you can get out if your exit is blocked by a fire in the lower level. And add a smoke alarm too...

**Cough** for the love of god PLEASE attach a couple of concrete anchors with stainless steel aircraft cable to the cabin for support *so it doesn't topple over* preferably connect the cables to the top 1/4th of the cabin with two attachment points on each side- ensuring your cables are tight **Cough** Did you hear something?

Yes, I heard my anxiety screaming 'Super cute, but for the love of mercy put an emergency exit window up there and move the port windows on the side walls or something!' Oh, me nerves!
the lights make a huge difference to the cosy feeling up stairs . well done .
Can I make a suggestion.. sell your tiny homes by getting the person who wants one to participate in the building ! Not only will the home get built faster but you are sharing the knowledge. They get their home a bit cheaper, faster and they feel good about the home they built. I have a daughter who would love the opportunity!

(Assuming they agree if course) What if I supply an awesome YUMMY meal for everyone helping? 💪💜💫

Only if you are able and willing to climb up that ladder.
In your next build, give yourself an extra half a foot in the bedroom. it's nice that the bed fits perfectly but it'll be a nightmare to change the sheets. If you add a half a foot (six inches), you'll have room to put your feet to pull off the sheets. you will also have a place to put extra sweatpants/t-shirts/blankets in folded form (tucked in the corner).
You are hysterical I love watching you you’re a real person with real obstacles, like we all are. showing it like it really is. nothing Easy! good for you! I love what you’re doing! I love your cute tiny cabin!

You are so entertaining Jacob! Smashing job on the very cozy bedroom - my favorite part!
You have every right to be proud of your accomplishment‼️
I think when you have like 1 millions subs you should still say “unemployed filmmaker” as your intro.
Hi Jacob so excited to see your tiny House hotel coming together and I'm really enjoying your content! Just a suggestion, as this is your first b and b style business it would be great to see you interview a local air b n b host to get some tips and tricks on how to run it once you open (and hopefully give them some exposure ready for the end of lockdown). To stop it getting too serious I'd love you to conduct the interview while both of you are out kayaking! All the best and keep being awesome.
I like the shape of the roof a lot, as well as the ridge pole and lights. In the future, a compressed mattress would be easier to get upstairs, so that when you unpack it, it fluffs up and into place. I do think a larger window at each end would give better cross-ventilation than the two small portholes, although they are cute.
Happy day! I think it's cute as a bug in a rug!🙌💥💞👌🎉🎊
Hi, it's me again I love it! Its sos cozy and inviting and I desperately want to stay one day, I lobe how it looks like it had eyes and quite how creative and quirky you and the home is! You so deserve what's coming because its going to be good! Also the craftmenshin on the stairs! Mess and chaos is definitely necessary so is laughter! Your life is definitely on track, just a slightly bumpy one but this goes so much higher! Glad you raised the mattress, was slightly worried. Stay wholesome, Stay crazy and be you (also you so need a second pair of hands)
Super excited and happy for you!!❤

Hello Julie how are you doing!!
I clapped when you got the mattress in place.
You should've tied the mattress up and taking it up then it would've been easier to get it up to the loft
What a lovely feeling! Congratulations on the build!
Little Orchard Hideaways is a great name! So frickin cute.
Great job
Fantastic !!!! Lovely bedroom , sleeping !! yay !!!!
You're very entertaining. I could watch you all day. The fairy light fiasco hade rolling in tears. I can totally relate.
for your next cabin loft - memory foam rolls up - roll it and secure it with rope, twine or a bungee cords to get it up the stairs. :)

You've built a very cool micro house, I really like what you've done! Seven years ago I built myself a 8ft x 16ft tiny house with a upper sleeping loft, the entire interior is finished in native yellow poplar wood. I have a 30 inch x 30 inch window in the end wall of the sleeping loft plus a ceiling vent to help vent excess heat. I don't know how hot your summers get but without better air flow in your micro house there could be a problem with excess heat in the sleeping loft. Also in case of fire you have no way of escape except down the stairs - I can exit the window in my sleeping loft in case of an emergency. As I said though, you've created something really cool! You can see my tiny house over to the left in my profile picture.

I think if the roof had been a foot taller, the loft would have been less cramped. I agree with the people who say there needs to be a way to escape from the loft, it could save your life. If you are using a gas cooker, you could have fumes accumulating in the loft so more ventilation is a serious consideration. When you installed your window and door, I didn’t see any tarpaper wrapped on the inside of the framing before you put them in. This could present some issues later on with water infiltration and eventually wood rot, not to mention insect munching on damp wood. I really love this little cabin, and the interior finishing is imaginative and well done.
Next time try rolling the mattress up as tight as possible, & tie it w/ something (like hay string or whatever you call it). Makes an easier bundle to stuff up the stairs....

Your humorous presentation makes for engaging viewing.

I have to say I envy you. This feeling of having built something yourself ... you can almost sympathize with it. Unfortunately, although I have good ideas, I have two left hands, which is why I always let things go like that.
This truly looks lovely! Can't wait to see the next episode
