Without further ado,
let's check out this innovative tiny house design that's great for people who
want to retire in a tiny house.
Hi, this is Ray and this is my tiny house.
I actually had a heart attack that woke me up and said that life wasn't working
like it was and so I wanted to find something different.
Space was not an issue for me, but if I was going to do this,
it was go big or go home.
I wanted to use everything I had learned through my life and build something that
I wanted. And then I wanted to get out of the rat race. And actually
wanted to move to a different area.
Hi. Welcome to my teeny house.
So this is designed with two slide outs. One,
has a three by five slide out and one that has a three by seven slide.
It is designed to be on grid or off-grid and this is the main living room up
front here. I wanted to have a lot of windows.
So we have the base set up in here when we did the windows up top so that we can
actually have lots of lighting in here. Um,
this also is designed for multiple types of heating. So first of all,
this is a, a small, uh, standard stove that you can use to heat.
It only takes up to nine inch logs, but it's great for a little fire,
puts out about 8,000 BTUs. If you don't want to use that,
you can go to the propane.
I wanted to do something that when you came in you just went 'ah' and so one of
the things you do is break up the wall. So what I came up with,
the idea was why not put a three foot chair rail and actually make the break the
color up. And that's where you see the cherry in the middle there.
This is the large slide-out large slide out has multiple purposes.
So the outside of it is for holding batteries and the inside was turned into a
couch.
And the reason why it's a little bit higher is we had to put in built in beds.
So basically this handles two beds. If you open them up like this,
they will pull out and you can actually pull them out here.
A little touchy because they're a little bit of weight, but you can pull them out.
Just going straight down. You've got two cushions.
I had specially designed for the bed, full twin bed,
put your pillows back around it and you've got a complete bed.
The other one does identical what this one does.
So in the case of if you have a single person, you can make this a twin bed.
It's over six foot long so there's no problem.
Stay sitting here and sleeping here and then when you're done,
basically just takes a couple minutes, move your pillows,
tucks under slides back in.
So I'm 57 years old and Um, I was planning on retiring.
So when I designed this I thought, well,
I really didn't want to be upstairs all the time in a loft.
I wanted to be able to sleep here,
offer sleeping for multiple people. Then
have the upstairs for guests and that kind of stuff.
The other thing is because it's a little higher when you're sitting there,
your feet dangle and that's not good for your feet,
so you can lose your pressure in your feet.
So what we did is we put these in here.
I did put these in here as a design so that you can use them as step ladders to
get up there. You can use it for foot rest and if you have children,
small children, stuff like that.
I found out that people think that's a great spot for putting,
children can actually have a seat for that. And then of course storage,
storage and storage. Everybody in the teeny house community
wants to know about storage.
So what I said is, okay, let's do a Gable roof.
this is a nine 12 pitch and this is the sixth pitch.
So the pitches are a little bit different because of the sizes.
You could see a little gap in the roof up there and you'll see the air in it.
That's because this light out still has three inches to go out.
Once it locks into place, then we do this, if you look at the small slide out,
what you do and when you're done is you just fill it with neoprene.
Well let's say that I really wanted to have a big area
this comes all the way out.
So now I can actually sit here and I have a full kitchen table,
A little bit high. This adjusts up or down. You can actually bring a chair in.
You've got a full kitchen tables. You can sit here, you can sit here and have dinner.
So now we've done the main living area.
We're going to show you some of the comforts, the comforts that I needed.
Closet. It's fully Cedar, lined, my golf clothes,
my hats and all my stuff.
Nice little two foot by two foot closet.
So this right here for doing your,
I have two skylights and so this controller, they're solar powered skylights.
So basically I can open and close the skylights with this controller and the
skylights have blinds. So in the winter time you can take them,
close them and you don't have to look at the rain coming in.
So one of the things is that kitchens are important.
So what I want to do is be able to have a good sink and be able to wash my
dishes and do everything.
And I want to be able to cook and I wanted to make sure that I had a exhaust
correct. He wants water. That's what he wants.
So what I did was research everything. Get with high efficiency
You may pay a little bit more. Um,
some of the things get warranties on some don't
but if you really want to live here, if this is going to be your home,
invest in your appliances and invest in good stuff.
This is just like a real house.
You're not going to see where you're missing things.
There's tons and tons of storage.
I can design a pantry door that basically slides
in my original design.
I was going to put a window in the bathroom and I changed it to a back door.
You really do need to have two in and outs in your house because the fact is if
something happens in the middle, you need to get out through the one way.
We have a standard shower. You can actually have jets come from the top,
from the sides and from the bottoms.
It's kind of like a massaging shower. It's a fantastic shower.
This is a Luno system. What it does is dehumidify as the air,
and it's designed to take air from the outside, bring it in,
and equalize it to the air pressure that's inside.
And then there's another one in the kitchen that takes it, equalizes it,
and sends it to the outside.
You get a lot of humidity and stuff in small places.
This helps prevent that and you can tell it. It's nice in here.
Everything I own, there's no mortgage.
I wanted to show the dreamers what could be, uh,
what your possibilities are to give you the American dream back.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video tour.
