  3. Australia is also ridiculously expensive. We need to establish tiny home communities that give accommodation and hope.

  4. I always wonder what would happen if one person becomes incapacitated and can no longer climb stairs to reach the bedroom loft. This house is nice, although somewhat crowded . I don't see any option there for a downstairs bedroom. I also wonder how often they have to clean. I've heard from others that tiny homes get dusty and dirty very fast. I'm fast approaching 70, looking toward the future, would not want a loft bedroom.

  5. Okkkkkk y’all got the moves!!! ❤❤❤ I want to be like you all when I get your age. ❤❤ keep up the activities ❤❤❤

  6. What a beautiful area of the country to call, "home." Ty so much for sharing your video. Happy to hear residents have more control of their environment. Your little dog is a cutie patootie! God bless ✝️ y'all. 🤗🤗 CarrieJo/NC

  7. What a sweet couple they are and what a fabulous home they've made together, TFS.

  8. Nice and cozy, beautiful place surrounds this home. Seems super cluttered though for my taste. The clutter feels claustrophobic to me.

  9. It is interesting to see a tiny home with a lower ceiling to accommodate more head room in the lofts, however I would install a foam bumper overhead in case they have a tall visitor. This couple is very interesting and their home looks lived in, the kitchen is very nice. Again a very good interview and video. Very professional.

  10. Well that is good space for your bedrooms that too lol that way from 510 five that’s pretty good I like that design you guys picked out a good design

  11. That’s sounds like our landlord in our trailer park in Canada here all day doing is just take the money didn’t want to fix up the park or anything just like you guys you got people who, like to read these jobs, improve their yard and that which I think we should start doing here, what we need to get done it for the landlord to do it

  12. Do that up here in Canada I never thought of that is I’m a co-op member and never thought of that my wife and I would do sometimes co-op shopping not as much really like we used to prices gone up around here so much I can’t afford to buy co op

  13. Very nice to see an active older couple! They have set up their tiny and its lot to really work for them. How fortunate that they were able to form a coop to purchase their mobile home park! I hope more groups are able to do this so that they are not held to ransom by people wanting to make quick money!

  14. How do they manage in the winter with so much of their lifestyle being outdoors ?
