1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,800 2 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,780 DYLAN: Our goal is to just enjoy the countryside 3 00:00:02,780 --> 00:00:03,700 while we're young. 4 00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:05,770 We can travel with the jobs we have. 5 00:00:05,770 --> 00:00:07,460 We don't miss this opportunity to do this. 6 00:00:07,460 --> 00:00:15,650 7 00:00:15,650 --> 00:00:16,580 AMY: Hi, I'm Amy. 8 00:00:16,580 --> 00:00:17,550 DYLAN: And I'm Dylan. 9 00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:19,070 AMY: And this is our tiny house. 10 00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:22,880 DYLAN: Our house is 24 foot by eight and a half by 13 foot 11 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,210 tall. 12 00:00:24,210 --> 00:00:26,270 AMY: We started off with what's called a shell. 13 00:00:26,270 --> 00:00:30,350 So it was just a basic structure set on top of a trailer. 14 00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:33,200 And we did everything else-- the siding, we did the roofing, 15 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,820 we did the insulation, the electric, 16 00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:38,700 the plumbing, all the cabinetry, the walls, the floors. 17 00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:41,390 It's definitely a labor of love. 18 00:00:41,390 --> 00:00:44,190 So let us show you around a little bit. 19 00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:46,400 The outside of our house kind of has 20 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,630 a unique design, where it's split in between two 21 00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:49,430 different material. 22 00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:51,510 It doesn't really serve a certain purpose. 23 00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:53,210 We just like the way that it looked. 24 00:00:53,210 --> 00:00:55,610 DYLAN: Our roof is a special material called [INAUDIBLE],, 25 00:00:55,610 --> 00:00:57,440 which is actually an asphalt byproduct. 26 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,000 It's very DIY friendly. 27 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,972 And it's hurricane rated, which is very important to us. 28 00:01:00,972 --> 00:01:02,405 Because our house is going down the highway 29 00:01:02,405 --> 00:01:05,450 at 70 miles an hour sometimes. 30 00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:07,550 For me, I absolutely needed this living room 31 00:01:07,550 --> 00:01:10,460 to have a media center that I could come home to and relax 32 00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:11,900 on the couch and watch TV. 33 00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:16,020 So part of that was having a projector to save space. 34 00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:18,605 The other thing was actually storing a lot of my electronics 35 00:01:18,605 --> 00:01:20,274 up in that loft area. 36 00:01:20,274 --> 00:01:21,940 As you can tell, we have this really high ceiling. 37 00:01:21,940 --> 00:01:24,690 And it's great to hide all these different devices. 38 00:01:24,690 --> 00:01:29,420 So to hide this away and keep Amy happy was a big deal. 39 00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:31,370 And then over on this side, this is what you'd 40 00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:33,590 call our dining room area. 41 00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:34,610 This looks like a chalkboard. 42 00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:37,250 But Amy built this so that it folds down. 43 00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:38,990 And it's held up by two magnets that 44 00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:42,530 keep the table up against the wall when we're moving. 45 00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:43,940 In order to actually sit at the table, 46 00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:46,330 we have to pull out chairs. 47 00:01:46,330 --> 00:01:49,680 And then Amy can sit at the table to eat her dinner. 48 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,720 AMY: We do sometimes actually eat dinner together. 49 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,767 He was just saying that it's just me eating dinner. 50 00:01:53,767 --> 00:01:55,200 [LAUGHS] 51 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,090 DYLAN: So off of our dining room is the kitchen area, 52 00:01:58,090 --> 00:01:59,730 with this long countertop. 53 00:01:59,730 --> 00:02:01,830 Most of our appliances are full-sized, 54 00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:03,030 including the sink here. 55 00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:05,990 The cabinet itself that this countertop is on top of, 56 00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:07,110 Amy built herself. 57 00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:11,190 Every single drawer slide, the painting, the handles-- 58 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:13,380 everything was done by Amy. 59 00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:15,280 So welcome to our bedroom. 60 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,530 Well, actually, it's Mama's bedroom. 61 00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:17,910 We just sleep up here. 62 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:20,250 AMY: We have a full-sized bed up here, which 63 00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:22,200 works fine for the three of us. 64 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,540 We took advantage of some of the wall space up here. 65 00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:25,450 We've got my uke. 66 00:02:25,450 --> 00:02:29,160 I have a little side table that I keep glasses and random 67 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,450 stuff at the end of the night. 68 00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:32,520 We have outlets up here to charge our phones. 69 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,710 So it's everything we need in a space up here. 70 00:02:35,710 --> 00:02:36,960 Also up here in the loft, we have 71 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,430 some more clothing storage. 72 00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:40,240 So we have one basket up here that 73 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,930 kind of keeps my PJs and stuff. 74 00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:44,400 But this serves a nice dual purpose. 75 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,510 It's a little half wall, so that we're not just going 76 00:02:46,510 --> 00:02:48,210 to fall out of the loft here. 77 00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:53,150 But then it also opens up, and we've got five cubbies in here 78 00:02:53,150 --> 00:02:55,820 for more folded clothing. 79 00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:57,720 DYLAN: This is the most private room in the entire house. 80 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,980 This is the bathroom. 81 00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:02,020 There's plenty of space for a shower, for our toilet, 82 00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:05,080 and, also, a sink with countertop space for Amy 83 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,880 to do her makeup and store toothbrushes 84 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,200 and things like that. 85 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,480 So the really, really unique thing about our tiny house 86 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,330 is that it's the only tiny house featuring a smart mirror. 87 00:03:13,330 --> 00:03:16,660 And that is basically an Android tablet with a touch screen, 88 00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:20,050 which allows you to look at the internet, see the weather, 89 00:03:20,050 --> 00:03:21,007 check the traffic. 90 00:03:21,007 --> 00:03:22,840 Everything that you can do with your phone or a tablet, 91 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,190 you can do with your own bathroom mirror. 92 00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:28,210 93 00:03:28,210 --> 00:03:30,840 AMY: Thanks for checking out our tiny home. 94 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,117
