Well, I just want to explain about the steps Oh, yeah, i'm definitely going to talk about them. Okay, and i'll show them some pictures too How they can move? Yeah, they're locked down with the wheels locked down and then there's a latch at the top And you unlock the wheels and under the latch and it rolls over to this other loft Okay, so this loft up here is kind of like the boys room And then the other loft over here, which are they the same size are the lofts the same size I always thought that one was a little bit bigger, but okay Okay, because it goes all the way over the porch. Yeah, and that one is storage So she doesn't get up there as much Where this one is used all the time. So the stairs stay here And she's got some storage area back here. Yeah, jay, uh, my oldest grandson is staying with me right now so that's Clothing. Yep. See she's already got all this storage space here in behind the steps And these are the steps that unlock And move there's the graduation wall let's show y'all a high school picture of me check out the hair Okay, so that is the main living area also the couch makes into a futon full-size bed yes And these are storage cubes can never have enough storage In a tiny house because i've got a toy box and uh extra clothing for The boys when they're here to go out and play and have And this is anderson's baby stuff because mom keeps anderson two or three days a week So lots of baby paraphernalia And she does not She has window air conditioning and electric heat. She has a couple of fireplaces I'll show you both of them So that's the main living area and when you come in and you turn to the left That is the kitchen and the dining area which will move when I don't have baby Paraphernalia. Yeah, a lot of times she has the table over here, but I kind of like it right there Yeah, I do too. It's off a little bit, but I don't care i'm off a little bit too And mom did all of this by herself cabinets countertops backsplash um She you hired somebody to do the drywall and electrical. Yes, and what? Roughed in plumbing and roughed in electrical. I hooked everything up right because I wanted to know how to do it And they showed me how to do it But jake helped some with the cabinets. Uh, my grandson the same with me and then allison helped me with the backsplash But i'm not done. I still like a lot of trim work to go and um but time You know all I got anyway, so but she has full-size appliances in here and then I have a pantry That I ordered everything from home depot And um Then I have the drawers Which I love because they're very accessible And then all my pots and pans are down here And then I have dishes In here and dishes in here now i'm going to also um Put open shelving right here Uh to the wall here so I can display plants and things like that She has a dishwasher. I have a built-in garbage and then another drawer for uh utensils And then the sink i'm gonna do a full-size sink, but at the time when I started this I just went with a bar top sink Because I didn't know how much room I was gonna have so you definitely have room for a full-size sink. Exactly Yes, and it won't be long i'm just you know, waiting to find one that I really love and these are like These are like a faux butcher block Or this actual butcher. No, it's actual Okay, actually Wood solid and she stained it a dark stain and sealed it in Not a gloss finish, but uh, and at the time I didn't really know what I were doing It's fine the backsplash is peeling stick, right? Okay. Yeah The kitchen is the way it's laid out It's plenty big enough for two or three people to be in here, but not move around a whole lot She did have a large fridge, but decided she did not need a large fridge and needed more counter space So she got a smaller fridge and i'm gonna have to redo my counter here because the refrigerator came to here Yeah, and I got to get me another cabinet Right because of the smaller mid-sized refrigerator plus I got more daylight through that window that I hated that I Had lost the daylight in there. Uh, remind me on the floors. Are they the tile? Peel and stick vinyl. Yes. Okay Yeah, she did a really good job on them. Well, are they coming up anywhere? It's been what? By the time I got to the bedroom I didn't do as good a job cutting the links So i've got some cracks in there But I have extra floor and all you have to do is peel it up put down, you know, whatever Okay moving i'm going to show you guys the loft real quick these are the steps They're narrow But plenty enough room And you can't really stand up in here and this is mostly game room for the grandsons There's the oldest one right there. He's actually full-size grown man now And uh me and allison did these floors up here And we had enough leftover that we just went up that back wall With it And we didn't plan on doing that, but it turned out pretty good So yeah, that is the loft And the storage loft up there and my pretty mama All right on to the bedroom now remember this was just one open shell and she had all these Put up all these walls frame these walls in and everything. You're going to show the four pictures. Anyway, yes I'll show y'all before she has not painted the paneling in here This is the paneling right that went that you bought. We like she liked the look of it And that's the back door, which was not here at all. No, I put that in. Yep, and the windows in the living room weren't in either, right? And she did have a single bed in here, but she just recently got a full-size bed and she does have risers To raise it up son She just has not got to that yet. I had to build me a little I was gonna say you must have built you a little tiny nightstand so she can still get her door open, but have her lamp and Place to put the phone and such Still some trim work to do in here as well. Yeah And this is her closet. Do you want to show the inside of the closet? It's it like i'm not done in here. So this is not how this has changed a lot Since you know, like every she thinks of something different to do and she does that so I'm, not sure if i'm gonna put door on it or I like the curtains because I have them over the Over there, but yeah, I like the curtains I'm, not sure It's the switch box, right? I was going to show them. There's not actually a window there, but that works Yeah So And moving on to the bathroom there wasn't a door here really not finished yes, really really really not finished because i'm gonna put cabinetry over and On top of the washer dryer and the bottom of the washer dryer This is a washer dryer combo. She does not she puts the clothes in washes them and then turns it on dryer Do you love this thing love it still but you know when you live alone And you wash a load a load a day You never you know get backed up or anything But like you say it takes a while it takes a while to dry them But I don't dry a lot of my clothes. Anyway, never have I hang up a lot of clothes, right? But it looked a lot different when I get the cabinet doors on the top and the bottom Yeah, but for space wise that worked out really good. I mean you could have got a stackable one, but yeah I'd just rather have that. Yeah I mean, I thought about it for a long time before I did it and this is actually going to be a is a storage and uh, just some of jay's hanging up clothes my Vacuum my hot water heaters in here Um, i've built a shelf up above to put my sewing machine and stuff on and my cleaning supplies Sewing supplies and all kinds of supplies Yeah, but she's done. You've done very well with um, storage solutions in here. Yeah when you're When you go from three thousand square foot to well, how many four hundred and seventy five four hundred and seventy five you know, that's not counting the lofts, but uh You can't really count them when you're doing four times Yeah, see the bathroom is not finished the drywall's up, but it's still got to be finished out It's actually rock that you put tile on but i'm not sure. Oh, you were gonna tile the whole bathroom. Yeah, i'm not sure Okay, and I have a full-size tub A little too much light coming in there from that. Okay. Yeah, there we go I have a full-size tub and I built me another little shelf over here And you just got a full tub surround for in here I do yeah Yeah, put that up myself. I actually re-copped it the other day because at the bottom Didn't do a very good job of it. So I redid it and did a better job so And you built this little shelf I see. You know what I built in that last season? That old shelf that was falling down that we've had for 40 years probably just redid it put a front on it And it's much more sturdy now Yeah A lot of things will change in here as I decide what to do with the walls and this is is this a This is like a meeting sink Yeah from Lowe's it's just a little vanity with you know with a cabinet under it, but it is I may go bigger with a bigger vanity and move the shelf, but I don't know I haven't decided that either Okay, is this mirror a thrifted mirror it is one that came out of the Jefferson title building in Birmingham when Mitch Oh, yeah, when y'all were doing demolition Which a lot of my stuff came from demolition projects Okay, so real quick We wanted to give y'all an overview of what she actually has in the house Because I know that a lot of people are doing tiny houses and they're curious Um, so yeah, how much about do you have in this house and explain what it what it entailed? Uh, I have about 40,000 in it uh that The house was repossessed So this the shell the camp the shed gonna show you pictures of it what it looked like when I got it It was 8,000 and then the electrical the whole getting it hooked to the house Uh everything it took to do it the guy that did it. It was somewhere around 5,000 That was my biggest expense. What about the septic tank septic tank was about three I did have a foundation put in it, which was about 3,000 And then my guy did the sheetrock and stuff Now you probably haven't counted all the little things you bought either Well, you know, I really haven't bought that well, I mean cabinets and flooring and stuff like that you did count all that It's it's right around 40,000. Maybe just a little over a little under okay, but uh It's very economical I got my highest electric bill last month, but guess what it was 20 degrees. I mean, you know for whatever month it was Uh, it was 170 dollars and that's my highest one. It's usually around 100. Yeah, and the cold.
