This channel has rapidly become our absolute favorite!! Great tiny home ideas, always so entertaining with Randy and Amanda giving us excellent information and so funny!!...thank you and keep up the great work!!
I LOVE that kitchen! I enjoy cooking and find the tiny kitchens way too small, this one is perfect. The only change I would make is get the toilet out of the flow of traffic, maybe swap spaces with the hot water heater.
I've always like the Detroit. Single floor living space, separate bedroom, more storage in the kitchen, big bathroom with the 36" shower. You could put in a combo w/d and have a clothes rod all the way across. Or cabinets. Love the blue color outside!
I learned from a long-term remodeler that using quarter turn knobs for water is the best. The regular ones leak, and he was right, because I had that problem with my washer line.
@@american_woman Thank you. I've paid attention over the years from what I have learned from very experienced people. I don't know everything, and I ask a lot of questions. Sometimes from several people until it makes sense. These boxes ITH makes are not high quality and its sad.
My concern with container homes is that they were originally built to be stacked on freighters to travel across the open seas. What I have been told is the container manufacturers sprayed hazardous materials along the floor so if waves crashed over the side of the freighter the sea water could not permeate into the container floor and thus damage whatever items were being shipped. With that said, did ITH strip out the floor to remover those hazardous materials?
Don't hold your breath. These come from China, and anyone with two brain cells will realize lot of the materials they use are highly toxic. Besides that, their steel is not the high standards like US Steel is. So be prepared for lots of rust!
If I chose an 8x40 high cube container home, I would want the inside design like the one Randy's son designed with the huge bathroom and full size shower. ❤ God bless ITH! ❤🙏❤️
Love it but I agree with some others--bathroom configuration needs to be rethought and the tv wall needs need to on the side with the open door so you can have a sofa on the closed side of the sliding glass door. How about moving the kitchen pantry shelves and have the bathroom door there so that all of the bathroom area is to the left and closed off. I hate walking through a bathroom.
@@american_woman His older models were better. But he doesn't build them anymore. Its all these quick builds, slap them together, get them out the door, collect the dough, no time to customize. He's gone cheap and in the end, it will hurt him. No matter what, I wouldn't buy a container home, not unless it was properly insulated, designed, and all the toxins were removed. I had plans laid out which I sent to Tim and wanted a Spanish style home; I was told NO. Only pick from ones on his website. (He also removed the Craftsman.) So with that, I said Ba-Bye! If I want a tiny home, I will find a much better builder/designer. They are out there and many do customizations. I wonder if these suckers are finding insurance coverage and how much are they paying. At the end of the day, I can find a small home that is 900 sq. ft. and have way more room than these boxes. On land which is valuable!
I seriously like the container homes. A bay window, or two, will really open up that interior and a wrap around, screened, deck could double the living space. You'd never have to worry about termites or having to put on a new roof again. Properly anchored and secured they can easily weather a hurricane. A container home is definitely on my short list for a retirement home.
I love container homes, but I prefer the Eurasian living container models because they are wider. 3m or 10' is simply better for living than 8'. Those 2' or 60cm make all the difference. I used to have an office in a living container and it was great. You could heat that up with a lighter. It had double bunk beds on each side, that is impossible in an 8'.
10x40 containers cost more than 8x40s, and the cost of building materials and labor for the larger containers would be noticeably higher also, making the overall price of the 10x40 home significantly more. Most Tiny Home buyers are couples and singles who have no need for two bunk beds. Anything over 8.5' wide requires purchasing a government permit to move it on public roads, and in some places you'll need to hire a driver with a commercial license to move it. Which size is "better" depends entirely on the needs and wants of the buyers. Some people would be just fine with an 8x40, and some wouldn't. To each his/her own.
Maybe my favorite model. I think it's the best designed container home out there. Too many builders want to open the whole side with windows eliminating too much wall space, in my opinion. I love this design. The ONLY thing I wish was different would be for the toilet not to show when you look straight down the container to the bedroom. I'm guessing that's just a space issue and that there's no way to turn it so it's not sticking out. Still, my favorite container home design by far.
I agree about the window ratio. Most Tiny Homes come with all the windows when I would prefer more solid walls for art & stuff. I guess it comes down to personal aesthetics.
Beautiful - I love container homes! I've seen a DIYer use transom windows with a pulley system (so you can open/close the window if you want privacy) above the doors on the interior walls to help with airflow when doors are closed. The sprinkler system is a great touch!
The bathroom in the floor plan on the ITH website is different. This one has been customized by the homeowner, leaving room for something of their choice in their bathroom.
Would love to see this with the German style "rolladen" rolling shutters I saw all over the place there, and reinforced window frames, to really drive home the toughness of these little units. They help with energy efficiency, too, as well as general security
we saw one at your community, when we came over, but did not get to tour one yet, but this looks nice, we toured several of your tiny homes while we were there and posted it we thought they were built well
Now this is what is for me and my family. Yes your sake home is so needed for many people like seniors that can’t move around that much. Or young people needing a place to sleep etc. and for the homeless to feel safe at night. Cities need to pick these up stat. And get those homes But for so many that want a forever home we need this Space. Thank you.
FINALLY! Been waiting so long to see that beautiful blue container get built! I am so glad you added the extra mini split. I have a few years yet before I retire but this is my dream home and to live in one of your communities. As always your work is beautiful!
These new containers are IMPERVIOUS to weather! The walls are 1/8" thick steel. Always go for the "High-Cube" models... you get an extra 12"" of height. Plenty of space for under-floor wiring/ plumbing and a built ceiling. Standard cube is 7'-10" inside height, High-cube is 8'-10" inside height. An entire roof deck makes it luxurious. One thing though... these containers are HEAVY!
I absolutely love container homes. This one looks great. Just have to figure out how to get over the 400sqft minimum square footage for my area to make that a primary residence. Maybe add an Add-a-box to the side! ;)
I learned something in this video. Condensation in container homes, something to watch out for. It's like van vehicles homes on wheels. They get that condensation living in them. I really like the goose neck faucet at the corner not in the center of the sink area. That gives more room to wash ur pots without hitting the faucet. 👍🏾👏🏾 What about not waking off the rooms up to the ceiling? Frame the side but leave out the top part of the wall. Then there's enough air flowing through all the rooms? Fan at I end mini split at the other end? 🤔
A closet in the BR would be nice. Maybe you can take some of the bathroom to give the BR more space. Although I guess it would be hard to do if sized for a W/D and shower. You'd have room to have a little over in there too!. Can this go on any of the properties at ITH? Not sure what their size limit is for the Buffalo Creek property. It is a nicely done home and strong. Thanks for showing us!
That color looks good for a container. 7 foot interior width is way too small and having to walk by your toilet all the time would be annoying. A 10 foot wide container would be fantastic, but of course, they don't make those.
I absolutely love the Detroit container home. The only thing I would change is to put a apartment size stove/oven where the counters burners are. Can that be done??
May want to consider pocket doors rather than barn doors. Design wise, barn doors are loosing popularity. Their time has come & gone. Maybe dual sliding doors, half the width of the doorway on either side. Glad to see you continually are growing & keeping things fresh & exciting. Love the two-sided kitchen in this one.
Pocket doors were some of the worst design mistakes of the 70s and 80s. They always get stuck eventually and are very hard to fix. I’ll take barn doors over pockets any day.
@@lraMelvinChippensteinEsq I can agree with part of what you say, but if installed correctly and if the home owner isn't banging them back and forth, I don't see an issue. My dad put one in the house he built and it was Ok. And this was back in the 50s. I find them so much more space saving.
@@anonymous-ir3tf My bathroom has one (from the 80s) and I have to keep a crowbar on the inside just in case one day it decides it’s no longer going to open all the way.
This looks like the layout on the website, but after I saw this video, I went and checked it again and it is different on the website. I keep looking at all the models trying to find the right one, so I was looking at this one off and on. Yes, the toilet was an issue if I want a grab bar. But now the one on the website I like much better. This might be the one for me but too bad I will miss my chance to get Buffalo Creek deal.
I like this only it’s really narrower than like. 2 together would be great. Coming from a 24 hundred sq foot home this is a bit too narrow. It is a really cool build! The name The Detroit!
That's a very important question. My hope is that Randy, Amanda and sales are all aligned and like dozens of other small tiny home businesses, they will keep their word.
Did he say seventy-five thousand for a trailer. LMAO

I have to watch Randy & Amanda every day It’s my happy medicine
I would get a bigger bathroom sink .😊😊😊
And not nudged up against the side wall.
Me too a regular vanity

Swap sides with the toilet and sink and the water heater washer dryer.👍👍

It is a big blue beauty! If I did not have the 12x20 this would definitely be my next choice! 💙
@@lolaoh2001 same here!
The valves for washer dryer should be moved to above the hot water tank. This way you can shut off after washing clothes.

They use 1 use new containers and meticulously cleanse the floor. We live with things every day that were in those containers lol
Love the color, and space!!! What a big home!!!

There's a fully finished, lived in tour video here on this channel. Search for Detroit by Incredible Tiny Homes.
I see why this is called The Detroit. If you've ever been to that city, you'd know.
@@american_woman 😆 So is Randy when he sees how many suckers he's pulling in. The way he builds these, I'd never let him build a sticks and bricks.

Container roofs only last 20-ish years. The most load bearing part of the roof are the four corners.
@@anonymous-ir3tf yep they sure do. 👍🏻
@@Lynore_Marie Yes, that is true.
@@anonymous-ir3tf or one installed after you get it to the destination.
Oh my God I love the container home so much room. I think that would be beautiful up on the mountain.😊
❤Wow that's AWESOME.
THATS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN INSIDE OF A CONTAINOR..ITS BEAUTIFUL..LOVE IT❤
Wow. A true Galley kitchen. Amanda is correct. Never touch that outer surface and color. Beautiful!

@incredibletinyhomes could this be customized with a bumpout in bedroom? I can't give up my king bed 😂
That toilet is in a terrible place!😳
Also plenty of room for a larger vanity.

The interior transom windows on a pulley is a great idea!
Love the Container home. It'll be perfect Solar Panels for Off Grid living.
The bathroom is designed very oddly, almost cornered in and open to rest of home.
The bathroom in the floor plan on the ITH website is different. This one has been customized by the homeowner, leaving room for something of their choice in their bathroom.
I’m thinking you could change out the sink to one with a longer counter but keep the sink narrow
I was just thinking about the container homes yesterday and here it is in a video!

This is GREAT!! Well done.
I wish Randy would start adding some upper kitchen cabinets to his homes .
Oh wow! I’ve been patiently waiting for this one!! I love it!
I ❤❤❤ the Detroit!
I believe my second tiny will be one!
Thanks for all you do! ❤
I love this home .
The first container home I saw was Martha's video from about a year ago. I love her home. You guys have done a great job with the design!!
Martha is the one that designed her home. Luann and Martha need hired ❤.
@@bethgreen5587 I didn't realize that. Love her design!! Luann's too!!! I agree, they should get some commission or something. LOL!
we saw one at your community, when we came over, but did not get to tour one yet, but this looks nice, we toured several of your tiny homes while we were there and posted it we thought they were built well
In the bedroom, why is the mini split not centered on the rear wall?
@@KatieAllison77 Cheap is what you pay and cheap is what you'll get. So many other better designers out there, its incredible.
😱 I can't make up my mind lol I luv them all between the Dalton, Lexington now this one has a full bedroom too ! I really like the container
I love it, too! This is really big, maybe not so wide, but seems huge anyway.
That blue on the outside and the white inside, really looks nice! 🤓👍
Why such a tiny bathroom sink.
Because everyone is a midget and weighs less than 100 pounds.
@@american_woman Why give him all that dough so you end up spending MORE to get it the way you want? Makes no sense to me!
This would be my pick - of any of the Tiny Homes.

Any mention about air exchanges?
Can’t wait to see Amazing Amandas’ decorating!

So how long will this one take
That's a very important question. My hope is that Randy, Amanda and sales are all aligned and like dozens of other small tiny home businesses, they will keep their word.
I like this one. Me personally I like a decent size living room and a separate bedroom.
Did you know that if you laquer the inside of the container you don't get condensation
Is that exhaust van vented outside?
Yes.
This is what my husband is looking for. Can we have plain drywall inside? I would love this at Buffalo Creek.
I really love this and the price is great , it's beautiful. You need to de ornate this Amenda and start showing this . TFS patsy
why didnt you put the minisplit in the kitchen? then it will reach xxx
I think the sink should be nearer to the toilet and leave the space after that. Love it otherwise😊
I would prefered a much longer sink to hold my electric toothbrush, water flosser and other things. I guess that could be installed later.
I don’t care how excited the lady in the background sounded. $75,000 is absolutely ridiculous.
The toilet needs to be moved to where the vanity is! When flushing, germs WILL fly into the kitchen!
