Tiny House Design

Includes a charming front porch

So they decided to build a tiny home

Summary of the video

• After losing a job and then working 4 jobs between them - to pay their mortgage - Gary and Debra decided to live more simply
• They found a builder on Craig's list who builds tiny house floor plans. So about $15,000 later, they had their own tiny house - all 320 square feet.
• They thought of buying a mobile home but it was much more expensive ($50,000 - $60,000)
• Their 320 square foot home (and their front porch) is 10 feet wide
• Their home plus the small building beside them (used for their home business) cost about $20,000
• Their home is paid for - so no mortgage
• They rent the piece of land that their house sits on - for about $145 a month
• Their home has full-sized kitchen appliances.
• The ceilings are tall - which helps to give their home a more spacious feeling.
• They can comfortably sleep 6 - 8 people in their tiny home design.
• Their son's room is a loft above the living room. He is home schooled.
• The family shares one dresser and each person has 1 drawer for their clothes, plus a sock drawer that is shared.
• They have a walk-in closet.
• They cannot walk past each other without touching or bumping into each other, but they like the closeness of that.
• Debra and Gary make their living by sewing baby gifts and selling them on etsy.com (minkeebabygifts). Their workplace is a small building next door to their home.
