I know exactly what he means; although I overthink and overbuilt, there's always a few things I could've improved on. But as a disabled DIYer I'm really proud of my ergonomic kitchen, Ikea hacks and tiny home/studio so despite being a perfectionist, I enjoy my home very much. Just like Mark! I'm taking away a ton of ideas for a next project whether part-time vanlife or improving on my space. Thanks Mark and Bryce, brilliant video and interview ❤️🛠️🙏

What a quality build

I admire his ability to foresee his future retirement days by simplifying his life, keeping himself active, reducing the amount of space and objects to deal with, etc. As well as, ensuring he will be free from paying rent and utilities. I like this approach as opposed to being in a convalescent home. 💚

@@denisepappas4644 Well most tiny's that i have seen which also or exclusively house women tend to have these shell or bowl type 'sinks' in the shower area. And seeing there is a laundry machine... guess if you have really vulnerable stuff that needs a hand wash. But even for those, washing machines have come quite far these days... So it's basically a wash things that are really dirty (like muddy boots) in there. Or bleed out a chicken perhaps. All those things i tend to hear women in my surroundings saying 'yeah, don't do that inside the house, you can those outside'... But hey, if you like deep laundry tubs, then good for you :) ... probably a lot more useful then one of those shell/bowl type things.

I like how Bryce avoids direct questions, instead he compliments the particular feature to keep the host(s) talking!

Love how he sunk the washer into to storage area, totally opens up the bathroom. Very nice house.

Im 16 years old and I want to build my own tiny house one day. I started designing it on paper and its been so much fun. My layout actually looks quite similar to this one and it was really cool to see how my own tiny house could look one day.

This has to be one of my favorites. And great to see someone in a later life stage downsizing and living more intentionally. It always seems like it's younger generations doing it just because it's impossible to get into homeownership.

Someone really invested good time in deciding what was important and baking it into the design. The material selections and components point to a man who is purposeful in life and places quality over quantity. The proportions really make a tiny house feel like a traditional residential home.

I agree completely, I've watched a ton of tiny house videos on this and other channels and I'm not sure I've ever seen a tiny house with every modern convenience appliance, all at full size. And he has enough power to run multiple appliances simultaneously. Every space in this house is fully functional including the living/lounge area with tons of storage and the entire house is aesthetically pleasing. He even has a portable patio. Brilliant design.

The amount of planning that went into this house is evident. Materials, fit and finish top notch. I think this is one of the nicest tiny homes you've shown us, Bryce. Thanks!

Bryce is the best at interviewing the homeowners. He notices everything and is able to point out features and building components he knows they are proud of. It always makes me smile when he mentions something and the homeowners light up and share proudly. This home is so wonderfully thought out. Mark did an excellent job of putting in everything that makes him comfortable. Great video 🥰. Beautiful home!!!

I love the coffee compartment. Beats cluttering up the countertop! Even if I never build a tiny, I will bookmark that idea, a slide out coffee compartment. Brilliant.
