    For me, this weeks episode is a great reminder of why I first became passionate about tiny houses. So many people feel as though the cost of housing has just ran away on them and there's no way to make things work. Bethan's story is a great reminder that with hard work and some good decisions, it's still possible to make the dream happen! We hope you enjoy this episode. With Love, Bryce & Rasa

      a little tidbit you might want to know: In the US, a lot of older (and some new) trailers -- "manufactured" homes but still cheap - have vertical ribs where the wall panels meet. This little house has those ... "yuck." They really can make a place look cheap & I know other container homes have something akin to drywall so no seams/ribs. (just thought I'd mention it cuz I'll bet somebody else will notice one day) -- it's VERY nice on all other points.

      That must have made it difficult for you. I live in Sydney Australia so would not have been able to use them anyway.
      I really love your layout and that’s what I was interested in. My son’s a builder so could build this for me.

It was emotional to see her cry those happy tears for what she's accomplished. Good for her. She's probably a wonderful friend too. And wow, what a result for $47KUSD. Pretty incredible.

    Thanks for filming Bethans home. There are many women who are living in precarious financial situations that could see them homeless and on the streets. I feel this story and what Bethan has done shows that there are real options for a lot of women to secure their futures long term and provide them with a proper home and financial stability. Best wishes to you both and Bethan. These stories are so important not only for the tny spaces but the lives that it changes. x

      Thank you so much for this comment! It’s so true. Part of my journey is in 2020 I started working with the over 65s and so retirement was front and centre on my mind. I realised quickly that my generation will not be able to retire as we will still be paying rent (and those who managed to get on the housing ladder - mortgages). The stats are clear and the ministry of finance even did a report on it at the Auckland ageing conference last year! Us single women are in the toughest spots. Made worse by the gender pay gap 😢 Part of the reason I got so emotional was talking about this with Bryce and his amazing questions! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    I started watching this channel around 2018 which inspired me to dream of a tiny home in a small farm, started saving more as much as I can. In the latter part of 2020, started communicating with a contractor for a 8 m x 8 m home design. In November 1, 2021, I slept in my home for the first time with just a bed, a dining table, a camping stove, a few plates and spoons, etc. It is still a work in progress but it is truly heartwarming to have a safe home for me and my pets.

    This video just moved me to tears. I'm a pianist and sometimes I get anxiety ridden about the thought of ever being able to save up, buy and build something for myself without the help of anyone. Thank you Bethan, Bryce and living big community for what you've done ❤ I see now it's totally possible for me to have a beautiful home like Bethan's and Live Debt free on my own with the lifestyle I have as a musician 🥰✨ that's such an empowering thought to have from watching a RUclips video

    BRYCE & RASA ... Thank you for your channel. Because of you two, I have just purchased a Hino truck to tow my future tiny home. I will be attending the Tiny Home Expo in Toowoomba, QLD, on June 9th & 10th 2023. I am giddy with excitement for that little trip.
    Again, thank you for opening up my eyes to a way of living I know I can accomplish. I am forever grateful. Love Veronica 💜

    How moving to hear how much of a difference this tiny home has made in Bethan's life! I am so inspired. It is such a lovely and simple design, too, and rather perfect if you don't want a loft and want a tub and need some space for your clothes. I love having the washing machine in the kitchen too. I'm very inspired by this story. Thanks again for sharing another beautiful tiny home, Bryce and Rasa, and good luck to Bethan. I hope you'll show us her home again when she's found her own land and done the decorating that she's hoping for!

      Hi Angela! Yes a few people said that to me when I was getting the loan “most people have car loans more expensive than your house” 😂 It’s amazing too that tiny houses don’t depreciate so fingers crossed if I ever do have to sell it’ll b ok ♥️♥️♥️

    We all can relate with Bethan. When we work hard to have something of our own and debt free it’s really a wonderful relief feeling. To enjoy life stress free as long as we can.. congratulations Bethan you’ve build a comfy home and the land is beautiful which you will own soon enough ❤️❤️ thanks Bryce and Rasa for sharing.

    I loved Bethan and her house and how emotional she is about what she's achieved. I'm in the process of having a one-level tiny home of the same size built, and it's inspiring to see someone who's already travelled this path and just how happy and content she is.

    Bethan is a breath of fresh air! (The Welsh and the Kiwis - two of the friendliest and most down-to-earth nationalities; between that and similar landscapes, I can see why she chose to emigrate to NZ.) The house is wonderful, and hats off to her for creating a lifestyle that suits her so well!
