Good point. Would have to dress it up or cover it somehow.

Good idea!

Thanks for watching and the compliment! We agree but plenty of folks get annoyed by us as well, so we try to avoid personal attacks or insults. A little tongue in cheek fun (the video thumbnail picture) and some comment replies are about as nasty as we get. The video was intended for our audience to be informed of what we knew of what was going on at the time but we still wish them the best and their RUclips channel is still going well. Thanks again for watching!

Understand but you could put a small rolling island in there and move it out of the way when not using it.

Thank you! 😊

We did not try as when we prepared to download the app we saw many reviews that said there were connection issues. Apparently it’s through Bluetooth pairing which we have problems with anyway from many other devices 😬This page on the TST site may help - tstebike.com/pages/app-register Would recommend not having the phone on wi-fi, being away from other Bluetooth devices, having only one phone in range and having the battery fully charged on the bike. Even with our more expensive Aventon bikes we were not impressed with the app and we used third party apps to track our rides and mileage (AllTrails, Strava, etc.). Hope this helps!

Yeah we noticed in a few Clayton homes we just toured that they are using wooden shelves and plastic covered wooden rods. Not too hard to install and a nice touch.

😁

Thanks for the compliment but please don’t base your life decisions on any advice from us! Thanks!

@@50pluslife360 I wouldn't do that, but it is an option if I find the perfect community. 😁

Thank you! 😊

Mrs. Tammy thanks you!

Wonderful! You’ve been watching us for a while! We’ve had this video up for a while! Glad you finally saw it! Thanks for watching! We appreciate you!

But there’s a water, fire, metal and earth (dirt on clothes) element all in one!

Because if they used small windows people would complain that it is too dark in the space. Can’t please everyone so they have to take those decisions. You likely could get yours with small windows if you’d like.

He didn’t design the space ask the builder

Us too but you can contact Ryan at Phoenix by text and he can discuss pricing with you.

As mentioned in the video just text Ryan at Phoenix to discuss pricing. This specific one was sold and you may choose different options so the price can vary significantly. All we know is it is likely well south of 100k.

We'll have a video with the same floor plan but with a porch coming out next weekend.

The contact info for Ryan is in the video. Basically this particular one has sold already, and they have so many options for customization that it's difficult to just give a price. Ryan at Phoenix can walk you through pricing and options relatively easily. Let's just say Phoenix homes are VERY affordable. Their typical prices are well below 100k.

Dishwasher??

I’m not 100% sure a dishwasher is an option but it may be. For now, the dishwasher is located about a foot and a half below your elbows. 😀

Slick like owl snot as we used to say! We were not trying to tip off per se, just reporting on what we read and what our experience has been with them. We still wish them the best and hope all goes well for them.

Thank you. We try if we remember to bring the tape measure. We started doing that because of a viewer suggestion.

Thanks for your comment! Great ideas. They do have several cabinet choices, and are even considering a different cabinet manufacturer. Customizations are essentially unlimited (within reason, of course) with Phoenix at this point, so it's a great time to buy if someone is ready to do so.

You "eft"? Hmm... When you started typing, I quit reading your comment. LOL Sorry the music bothered you. Mrs. Tammy usually chooses softer, more relaxing music, but folks complain about that! This time she wanted to try something different. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching though.

That's a difficult question to answer. Depends entirely on the builder, their location, the standards they build to, the flexibility of their design and options they offer. Additionally it depend on the materials used and their construction practices. In general, I'd say they are about the same or possibly a little better from what we've seen. Bear in mind, a majority of tiny homes on wheels are considered "Park Model RV's" and are built to an RV standard. Yet many mobile home manufacturers build Park Model RVs. Mobile homes are built to HUD standards which are a lot of 'red tape' for builders to jump through. For example, you can't have a mini-split in a HUD home, fire spread ratings have to be calculated, and other things which don't necessarily make a mobile home "safe". A tornado will flatten a steel building, a brick house, or an RV park model. It's an equal opportunity storm.

Yes, that's a fact, according to law. ANSI-119 requires it for all RV Park Model homes manufactured to that standard. It is a posting that ALL manufacturers are supposed to post clearly in two places - in the home and in the sales contract. What you choose to do with the home after you buy it is your business. It's like the warning label on a pack of cigarettes. You're still going to smoke them after you buy them (if you're a smoker).

Absolutely!

Maybe you need a new phone or TV with better resolution? You're not tuning in to You Tube with rabbit ears are you? LOL Or perhaps it's time to go to the optometrist. You're clearly not seeing what we see. It's natural pine tongue and groove which can be clear coated, painted or stained. You can also choose the option of mobile home walls (VOG - vinyl on gypsum) or ship lap.

Appreciate your concern on the pricing issue, but that's not the case here. Sounds like you're describing ITH's pricing strategy. The issue with giving pricing is three fold for us. First, we are not manufacturers or dealers, we just post tours of the houses. We go to multiple dealers and manufacturers. If the dealer or manufacturer requests us to not post prices, then we simply don't. Second is obviously time vs inflation. We may post a video this month with a price and two years down the road, someone sees the video and expects that price. That's not fair to the dealer or manufacturer, especially with inflation like it is. Third, with Phoenix in particular, they are a relatively new builder and are at this point able to customize so many things that it makes it tough to just say "here's the price". This model was already sold, so out of respect to the new owner, we would not disclose the purchase price. Phoenix offers 5 different porch options, 17 roof colors, 3 floor choices, 3 wall choices, paint vs stain, gas option, etc. So the best course for anyone truly interested is to call/text Ryan directly and discuss. 99% of people who complain about "no price" aren't even in the market for a tiny home, or are ready to buy right now anyway. Suffice to say, most of their home configurations would easily come in under 100k, which is where we as a channel like to film.

@@50pluslife360 It seems like you’re offended, and I can’t understand why you would be if you’re not affiliated with Phoenix. My comment was not directed at you, I obviously know you aren’t the builder/manufacturer. My comment was directed at Phoenix, hence my mentioning their website and complete lack of transparency regarding prices. You seem to have an issue with ITH, however despite the reasons you gave for not being able to give prices, ITH is from my experience, very transparent. Regarding inflation and such causing prices to go up, most other companies, at least ones that aren’t afraid to mention pricing, typically mention in videos “at the time of uploading, the home is going for (such and such amount) but the price can change”… just to give people an idea of the price range. I have contacted ITH before because despite your claims that 99% of people complaining about prices not being listed aren’t actually looking to buy a tiny home (not sure where those stats came from🤔), I actually AM looking to buy a tiny home, TWO tiny homes in fact (one for my husband and I and another for my in laws), and I found ITH to be very transparent in pricing and in no way did they try to upsell me at all, their website even listed the prices of homes (which I’m told they keep updated to be up to date on current prices) as well as the price for every single additional amenity they offer… so I know it’s possible for companies to list prices even if they offer additional amenities. This tiny home you’re showing was of particular interest to me, because I have to think of my in laws needs, the one floor layout is better for them. And while other tiny home builders offer one floor layouts, I personally liked this one the best… but I don’t trust companies that hide prices from buyers, I jut don’t trust them and I think a lot of people feel the same way… whether they’re of the 99% or the 1%. Have a good day.

No ma’am no offense taken. We often wish we could give prices as much as our audience wants to know them. Phoenix is just in a precarious position at the moment as they are a relatively new builder whose goal is to build a dealer network but they can and do have to sell directly until the network is in place. Dealers are a finicky bunch so most of the concern about providing prices revolves around that. They are more than happy to provide prices if you consider contacting them. Glad your experience with ITH has been positive and if you decide to buy from them we hope it continues. Our concern for our viewers was that ITH would advertise a price on their website and then go on RUclips and run a ‘special’ but someone who bought a day or two earlier was not offered the same special even though it would be months before their house construction was even started. They have even said on their videos that sales can’t keep straight with what is said on RUclips. So we just caution everyone to do their due diligence and homework before committing their hard earned life savings to a company. Just common sense. Many of our regular viewers know we are getting close to downsizing and considering an RV park model if things work out. Although we like a few of ITH Amish builds (Birmingham and Amanda) we feel that for nearly half the price we can get a park model of equal quality with an actual delivery date from a transparent builder such as Phoenix or a couple others we have profiled on our channel. Thanks for your feedback and we hope you stick with us! We wish you the best on your tiny adventure!

@@50pluslife360 Could just list the “base” price on the home being shown and mention pricing will vary depending on layout and amenities chosen.

@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdomi would love to talk to you about pricing on this unit it has nothing to do with hiding the price. This is a great price give me a call tomorrow i would be happy to help!! Paul and Tammy has done a great job with their videos and i will be glad to explain to you the why.

Thank you for your comment! and thanks for watching!

Good idea, but maybe out of our price range! We haven't seen any steel frame tinies that we remember unless you count the tuna can from ITH. Or, a shed conversion.

See some of our other comments. As shown, it's well under 100k.

The wire shelving depends totally on how they are installed. We just installed some in a spare closet in our kitchen to use as an appliance garage. One shelf has an insta-pot, a toaster oven, a waffle griddle and a cotton candy maker and it is not bending at all. Mr. Chubby could set his fat butt on there too and it will still stay in the wall. They have to be installed, braced and secured correctly. Plus, there are two different designs - a light duty and a heavy duty. I'm sure Phoenix would install wooden shelves and a wooded closet rod if you'd like.

@@50pluslife360 🤣

Thanks for your feedback! Ryan is browsing all the comments so I’m sure he’ll do what he can. Also check out the interview with Phoenix as it serves to answer a lot of questions as well. We’ve had mixed results with adding floor plans in our videos. We often put them on our community page if a dealer gives us a handout but if a company has them on their website we just usually link to that. We may try it again in the future. Thanks again and thanks for watching!
