Painting Exterior of My Tiny Home in the Grove at ITH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- During my second visit to The Grove in Newport, TN my brother tags along to assist me with painting of the exterior of my 8 x 20 Incred-I-Box as part of the Incredible Tiny Homes community. We spent three days fighting "mother nature" and working very hard to paint two sides of my tiny home. I will explain the process and the paints used. In addition, there will be an interaction between myself and my brother David. Also, we will present some exciting news at the end of the video presentation regarding my RUclips channel.
I saw your painted home, at The Grove, before I saw your video! 😄 When Randy and Amanda did a recent update on The Grove, Amanda pointed out your painted home, and admired your color choices.
I'm enjoying your videos. Happy adventures! 🌻🌻🌻
Thanks so much for joining myself and my brother paint the exterior of my tiny home. Yes, I was aware that they admired my home on a video with their huge RUclips channel.
I saw that video first, then the video of you painting the inside popped up on my feed. I'm a new subscriber, looking forward to following you on your new journey.
I watched the same ITH video and when I saw the pretty sage paint, I thought to myself, "I bet that is VanLifeStorytelling's place!"
@@carlenewheelock4408 You totally correct and thanks for watching
@@MrLivewire1970 Welcome aboard and happy to have you as a new subscriber too!
One Thousand Subscribers and thanks so much everyone for watching my RUclips channel as I move from van life living full-time to tiny home living. 👋Thanks so very much everyone and if you like this video please hit the "Like" button!
👍🏻🏡👍🏻
There's a whole story between these two guys. That line that the brother wants to get to know him better says a lot.
Fair enough and understood. One of the brothers, Robert lived in the great State of Oregon for 15 years and during that time it was challenging to spend quality time together, Thanks for watching.
I love the Grove. Lucky Man. Enjoy your beautiful Tiny Home. I like Randy and Amanda. ITH.
Yes, I think once everyone moves in and then everyone adds their own personal touches it will be a wonderful community to live in and very grateful to Randy and Amanda.
I think it's great that you and your brother are getting the chance to spend so much time together! Congratulations on reaching (and now surpassing) 1,000 subscribers! Thanks so much for sharing your journey and the tips.
Melanie, it has been a true blessing to be able to spend some quality time with my brother and thanks for watching and joining our journey together
Keep the videos coming, I love how you speak so positive about your experience! Love the colors, remember Randy is adding privacy fencing between the houses, but again watch out and don’t hit it! 😂😅😂
Thanks for the favorable comments and it will be great to see the privacy fences up and will be careful.
I love the color of your Tiny, I even saw a video were Amanda from ITH admires your house 👍😊 Great job.
Keep the updates coming 👍🎉
Yes, Amanda and Randy beat us to the punch with a video put on RUclips I believe yesterday. Thanks for watching and I will continue to provide updates.
Love the tiny home along with the painting,God bless💜🪻
Doris, thanks for the favorable comments and God Bless you as well!
Blessing having your brother helping with this project. Hoping to see more videos.
Indeed, it was a huge blessing to have an extra body to assist with painting the outside especially regarding the side of the 8x20 wall that is 13 feet tall.
Hi Robert!
I seen your home on a video from Randy Jones Owner and Amanda! And I renovate homes so I know preparation has to be done right. Very impressed! And am a Independent sales rep for ITH. So I watch them alway’s lol. I thought the paint work was spectacular! So nicely done! The prep work is so important. And I noticed as Amanda noticed the Beautiful color immediately! And Congratulations on RUclips subscribers! And your Brother has been such a Blessing to you! And has a Beautiful Home! Looking forward to your knowledge on the homes at The Grove. God Bless you All!
Mary, thanks for watching and prepping the walls are important and glad that I went with the Sherwin Williams primer and paint. Good luck being a sales rep.
Classy of you to highlight and support local businesses. Fun to watch your journey!
Thanks so very much for your kind comments and thanks for your support
Kind of your brother to help you. I agree about both the spigot and the driveways.
When I went to Quartzite to see the Iboxes in person, I was surprised by just how small they are, and how truly sparce they are with few electrical outlets, etc. Once I saw them in person, I started called them Franken-boxes because they remind me of Frankenstein's monster all patched together with all the metal brads all over.
You can't beat an Incredibox on price, though, especially when you compare it with being homeless. It's a safe, dry, warm place to put your life together. Yes, a spigot would be nice, and it would've made sense for a regular home, but with a yard that tiny, all you'll need is a jumbo watering can.
I've lived small to tiny since 1995, and honestly, it has NOT gotten easier, only more difficult. I can live small 350-500 sq ft, but less than that, and it gets severely claustrophobic real quick, and I have 13 ft ceilings.
Few things were worse than being on lockdown in a 7.5 x 16-foot space...with no yard...and common halls and elevators. At least there, you'll each have your own teeny "yard". I had to get an additional 5 x 15 storage unit for seasonal things, like snowboarding gear, scuba gear, boxes of taxes and memorabilia. Tiny home storage SUCKS, which is why I'll likely go back to small living after 8 years living tiny. You barely have room to stand up and stretch out. You can gain weight very quickly during winter if you don't force yourself out in the cold temps to go on daily walks.
Some days, I log 55 steps...the ENTIRE day, and that is not good. Definitely get outside everyday. lol
Wow! I have been so busy and I saw you huge comment and sorry that I did respond sooner. First, thanks telling me your story and I do admire you for living in a tiny home for so long. I have not spent my first night in mine yet. I continue to wish you the very best and good health and God Bless!
Enjoy yourselves!!! 😀
Enjoy your new home!
Looking forward to moving in and getting to see how to live in a tiny home. Thanks!
Congrats ! What a nice brotherly collaboration 😊😊
Thanks and it was a pleasant experience to witness
Wonderful story ! Looking forward to more ❤️
It was a pleasure to produce...takes time but fun
I like your mindset "you have one shot at getting this right!"
I have done my best and it is not perfect but a home that I can be happy living in.
I subscribed because I recently lost my partner of 44-years, I'm still living in our four-bedroom two bath home that was too much home when there were two of us, so now I'm rattling around all by my lonesome. I wanted to see someone move into a tiny home so I could wrap my mind around moving into one also. I enjoy painting, do not enjoy going up and down a ladder. 🤣
I am sorry for your lost and painting can be relaxing. I agree with you that going up and down ladders can be scary
lol I saw your home in one of Randy and amandas tours of the grove. It looked so good!
Ashley, you are correct that Amanda and Randy both highlighted my home in a video that they produced about visiting the residents of the Grove. it was received in a favorable light.
It was great seeing brothers helping each other! Looking forward to hearing your adventures with your tiny home and surrounding areas!
Love Sage green!! Your home is coming along nicely! So nice of your brother to help out!! Your videos are definitely informative for those who have also purchased an incredi-box. Looking forward to more videos on your adventures in Tennessee! WOW, what a treat to see Dan Tyminski!! Awesome band. Unfortunately I missed his show when he was recently in NJ but he's coming back for the Woodstown NJ three day event at the end of summer. Anyway, keep those videos coming, you've got a knack for this and I have no doubt your channel is going to continue to catch on!
Thanks so very much for your favorable and kind comments. Yes, I do spend quite a lot time and effort to produce quality and informative videos and great that channel is growing. We really enjoyed the band and if I had a partner to dance with I might have moved my feet too! Thanks for being part of the journey.
Great colors you
Chose for your home. I wish health joy and lots of fun in your new home.
Thanks so very much and on the outside after I paint the exterior door the color of Rockwood Clay it will pop even more. Thanks for the favorable comments.
What a fun & informative video! Well done Brothers!!
Greatly appreciate the favorable comments and we did quite well and I am proud of my brother, David. Thanks for watching and making a comment.
very nice color choice
Congratulations on your new home and your 1000 subs! I am a sub now too!
Welcome to the channel and well said!
Your hard work is paying off. Your home is looking good. Nice to meet your brother, Dave. Working together builds a special bond.
Thanks and it was hard work but so rewarding as when you are done you can see the results
Enjoyed watching your video. Great tips on painting your tiny home and on fun things to do in the area. Enjoy your home and continue creating wonderful memories with your brother.
thanks so much and since my brother likes to fish I am likely forward to spending more time with him and the rest of my family members
Welcome to The Grove. Really well done.❤❤❤❤❤ wishing you the very best.
I love your channel!!!Congrats on your new home in the Grove. The Grove is going to be a beautiful place to live. Your great voice is so informative. I cannot wait till your home is completed. God bless you and your brother in Jesus name. Your brother is so handsome!!! So happy for you!!!!
Yes, my brother is from my mother's side of the family and he has all the hair! Many people have stated that he looks like Mike Douglas. Thanks for watching and God Bless
The color is beautiful, looking forward to updates too!
Thanks
Congrats!
Thanks and it was our pleasure to produce the video
I've often thought that you just can't go wrong with any of the sagey shades of green on home exteriors. Your new home just proves that theory. Thanks for the organized and informative videos of your tiny home process, right down to the helpful info about the local hotel. You're just the kind if homeowner they are thrilled to attract.
Thanks so very much for the favorable comments and your support and watching my video.
It looks so good! 😍 Love the sage green.
Thanks so very much for watching and I love the Sage Green color too!
Well, my lordly what delight man. I enjoyed your video and seeing how your bother supports you moving to The Grove. You will quickly meet your new friends in that neighborhood as well as the others in the other neighborhoods. Go on the 1 mile walking trail and am sure you meet lots of new friends. Congrats for making your first milestone with YT.
Great! It sounds as though you live in the ITH community?
Nice, soothing colors. Good choice 👍
Thanks so very much and thanks for watching
I love the color that you're painting you're incredible Box colors. Thanks so much for sharing.🎉
My pleasure and thanks for watching
🎉 Congratulations ‼️
1000 SUBS.
That happened fast.
Good for you!
- Your paint looks great. It’s definitely worth doing it right.
It’ll last a very long time.
BFN 🥳
Thanks so much for the favorable comments and I totally agree. Some owners who have painted their outside walls with latex paint and I have been told that after a few years that paint might peel off. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful. Incredible tiny homes showed your tiny house on one of there RUclips videos. They loved the way you painted it.
greatly appreciate it and thanks
You guys are terrific. You made me laugh out loud! I love your humor. Can’t wait to meet you. I live at the Beach since last September. I love it here. You will too. The people are great and really a great community.
Thanks so very much and appreciate the kind words. I am looking forward to living in The Grove. Best wishes to you at the Beach. Look forward to meeting you.
Congratulations! 🎉
Thanks and I am quite happy with the favorable direction the channel is moving.
Love the color palette of your tiny home. Congratulations on 1K. 🎉
Thanks and many months ago since I was going to use Sherwin Williams paints I secured a FREE phone appointment with a color advisor and we both came up with the colors and once I paint the front door, it will pop even more. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations ! Its heartwarming to see you and your bro working on your project together. I am sure you're gonna love it there and look forward to see your next video!
Congrats on the home and the channel. It's a beautiful area of the country, I have family in the Knoxville area. Your brother David should start his own channel. It sounds like he does a lot of interesting outdoor activities and he seems to have that laidback personality that most people enjoy.
I have made two trips to the area and once the home is livable I am exited to see the area more and enjoy
I love the color of ur tiny home. Great job U2.👏🏽👍🏽 p.s. congratulations on 1000 subscribers. 🎉🎊🎈🧨
Thanks so very much and the response has been much more rewarding with regards to the tiny home living versus the van life living.
Your paint choice looks great! Happy for you to get to spend time together. I caught that getting to know him better. Life takes us away from each other sometimes. I love my family too!
Congrats on a 1000 followers!Maybe your numbers will be doubled shortly!
Being around family and spending quality time is important
The house came out beautiful. Once you get the door painted too the house will really pop with color. I see you used the egg shell finish which turned out perfect. Great work. (Congratulations with your over 1000 subscribers which should mean you can petition for monetization too. :-))
Paul, thanks so very much for your favorable comments regarding the type of paint and the channel. Yes, I am amazing pleased and proud of reaching the 1,000 subscribers and it makes all the hard work of producing the video more worthwhile.
@@VanLifeStorytelling Hope you don't mind but I had "name dropped" your youtube channel name in one of Randy's video comments when people were admiring your home all painted. (Hopefully it brought a few people over.) 🙂
Congratulations on 1000k subscribers. I can see it’s increased even more now. Wishing you the best and I’ll continue to watch your tiny house life from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching all the way from UK.
Your house looks great! I cant wait to see it after you move in.
Me too and can't wait to move in
Love you guys and great job on tiny home you are working on and how you are getting help from family. Looking forward on more video's on the Grove.
Thanks for watching and I hope to do another soon as I plan top pick up my second tiny home soon from ITH
Enjoyed your video - watching from England 👍
Thanks for watching all the way from England
@@VanLifeStorytelling I've subbed so I'll get an update 🙂
@@lesleygilbert1945 very good and updates coming and thanks
Congratulations on 1000 subscribers 🎉🎉🎊🎊 Love the colors you chose for your tiny home 🏡😊❤ You and your brother did a great job painting 😊❤ and yes that's a beautiful lamp next to where you sit on the other video.😊❤ Have a great day ❣️❤😊
Thanks for watching and providing the favorable comments
What fun times!!!
I watched one of Randy's videos the other day and they were talking about a trailer already painted... my thoughts went straight to u!!
What great memories made ❤
Congrats on ur 1000 followers
Thanks so very much and what a wonderful memory with my brother. Thanks for watching
LOVE the colors you chose..So glad your brother was there to help you paint and spend time together.. I was wondering if there was a faucet outside to water plants or wash your car etc. And does your cell phone work well being inside so much steel...😊
Yes, it was such a blessing to have my brother there. Regarding the cleaning of the brushes and such we initially had to purchase one-gallon water jugs and then once we secured water in the home, we refilled the jugs accordingly. It is my understanding that if you have cell phone service with AT&T that the service is better than the others. Thanks so watching the video.
you guys did a great job painting, Sherwin Williams paint is great according to my storytelling painter hubby, congrats on your 1k
Great and glad to hear
I love following your story and love the tiny house movement. You hit upon showing some of Newport - Please continue to do so for those geographically too far away - its interesting to see what the area offers! thank you!
Will certainly plan to do so once all the painting both inside and outside is complete and thanks
What a great video😊
CHEERS🎉to many years of happiness in your New adventure ‼️🎉
Thanks so very much it will be my summer residence
Love the color's! While looking at the rivets/seams on the inside, while you painted, it reminded me of a 70's mobile home I owned in the 80's. It had dark paneling throughout, so I used a textured paint, (can be tinted to any color) with a thick, wiry roller, not unlike stucco, (they have many types of roller designs) which really helped to camouflage the paneling. I was surprised at how good it turned out. I'll bet that would work on the inside of these tiny home's, and minimalize the appearance of the rivets and seams, with no more work than regular painting. What color is the door going to be?
Fayanne, good point and wonderful insight on your part. I think that I am using a 1/2 inch brush. We both were tapping the points of our brushes directly into the rivets to cover. The front door is going to be a Rockwood Clay color from Sherwin Williams. I plan to start painting it the next visit if the weather allows me.
The color looks great. I was wondering about the difficulty of getting paint to stick to that metal permanently. Is the primer that you used for that purpose? Thank you for your advice.
@@Swan-rb4yg It is made for metal or steel applications and that is WHY I made an investment with one of the better paints for the tiny home. Thanks!
That was awesome!
So neat to meet you guys! Your brother is so kind, nice, and awesome to help you. We are all lucky in different ways! So glad you got to make this video and share this experience with us
See you one day again soon!
I lived in central Oregon for 15 years and due to distance I did not spend much quality time with him. Now, that I live with him it has been a blessing to get to know him better
@@VanLifeStorytelling that's great to hear! Time is very precious. Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon!
@@ScarieWOW look forward to seeing you soon and watch everything for me
Congratulations on 1000 subscribers!! Great color choices for the new home!
thanks so very much and appreciate the thoughts
Congratulations on your new tiny home..it looks great!
Thanks so very much and appreciate you watching the video
I like to watch your videos! How lucky you are to have two Tiny Homes?! I hope to have one as soon as I can. I have to pay off a vehicle I got a few years ago. IF I had known about the Tiny Homes, I would have purchased one of them instead of a SUV that I really did not need. Any who I just wanted to compliment you on your choice of colors for yours in The Grove, the door looks so nice!
Brenda, thanks so very much and I sold my pleasure way van to pay for most of the two tiny homes. However, to get both of them furnished is taking WAY more money than I liked. Wishing you the best with purchasing your own tiny home.
Yes, it is costly to furnish at the beginning. The monthly cost after getting one paid for is what is so great! The utilities are cheaper and so is upkeep. Keep in touch so I will know how you are doing. Are you living in one or using them as an income generator only? I am so excited about ITH and what they are doing. It is an awesome thing for seniors to live and be around other like minded people! You have done a good job with getting your homes to make folks want to stay in one for a visit or longer! Good luck to you!
@@brendaelk69 Thanks and initially it can be expensive and after that should be more reasonable. As of now, not using either as an income source.
@@VanLifeStorytelling OMG, You had a Pleasure Way Van? Those are so neat! They cost as much as a tiny home! Or More!
@@brendaelk69 Yes, my van was a used one and cost me about $80,000
Very nice colors
Looks great, congratulations 🎉. 🎉
Thanks for watching and best regards
Congratulations on your milestone!!🎉. The house is looking good.
Thank so very much for watching
CONGRATULATIONS ON 1000!🎉🎉 THE TINY HOUSE IS LOOKING GREAT!
Thanks
Nice start on the painting- love the green color too.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for information on painting the Incredibox .😊
You are totally welcome. I hope to do a video just on the proper steps to paint a steel tiny home at some point.
Nice color choices
A Hugh tip install rain gutters asap .. The rain water came down got into the window frames and rotted the wood and walls mold .
Please don’t let that happen to your wonderful new home . New sub … Linda
Linda, thanks for the huge tip. Can I ask, do you own a ITH model or just a home in general?
So enjoyed your video, I have a house there also and look forward to talking with you about your adventures 🎉
Wonderful! Do you live in the Grove or one of the other three communities?
I’m renting a tiny in the forest and doing some improvements in preparation for Grove living by end of June.
@@beverlyclark5579 Good for you and good luck!
Your home looks great!
Thanks so very much.
Great to see two brothers remain as HaPpY together as you two are. Congratulations David's brother, on your first 1K subscribers. You gona give us your name?
My name is Robert and thanks for watching
Hey, I wanna go bass fishing with you when I get moved into Buffalo Creek!!
Okay and I look forward to the experience with you and when you you move in?
New subscriber! ❤️
I was subscriber 999
Congratulations! Thanks for being a fan
Love your incredibox 😊 I am signed up to get a tiny home in Abbeville SC
The town officials voted no to tiny homes in Abbeville.
Good for you
@@CampingTherapy Wow! Sorry to hear that
🤘
I just subscribed to your channel. I to will be "hopefully soon" moving into the community. My home will be in the Prairie. Nice talking to you, maybe meet you in person sometime soon.
Thanks so very much and good luck with moving into the Prairie and I look forward to meeting you
Thank You for sharing how you painted your Tiny Home. I plan on buying a tiny home from them a 10 x 28. I am thinking that I will let them paint the outside and I will do the skirting and I will paint the inside. I watched a video about the additional fees and I think painting outside, inside and skirting was $13,000?
Hi,
Nice color choice. Congratulations on 1000 subscribers. You and your brother make a great team. I know you did 2 coats of primer, then the paint. How many gallons did it you use for each?
Confirming you wiped the exterior with white vinegar before priming?
Thank you
See you soon :)
very good question, I think that I purchased two gallons of primer for the inside and the same for the outside. However, I run out and just purchased another gallon of primer to complete the inside. I purchased one gallon of the sage color and I purchased another galloon of sage too. I hope that helps and if you are just doing one coat of primer you would not use as much.
@@VanLifeStorytelling thank you very much

Whats the brand of microphone you are using? Sound quality is great! Love your tiny home!
Thanks so very much and I am using the Saramonic brand of mircophone. Thanks so very much for the favorable comments and your support and watching my video.
Hi awesome guys 👏👏👏we will be neighbors there in the same community now telme about insurance for the house which company because I talked to gaigo, and they say they don’t have insurance for tiny house on wheels; if can help me on that I will appreciate! Thank you 🌟🙏
I got my tiny insured with a company that insures RVs and I think their number is 1-844-747-9320 which is McGriff Insurance. Good luck!
Robert, I very curious about the siding on your tiny home. It looks like it overlaps, rather than side by side, either vertically or horizontally. I suppose cost is an issue with this type of structure. What is the composition of the siding?
Charlie, my good friend all the walls both inside and out are door remnants from the leftover cut section of a metal door. Most metal doors are exterior doors and just like my door there is section replaced by glass as a window. The part that was "cut out" is the section of my walls. Each piece is screwed down from metal screws and that is why you see the rivets. If installed properly and laid over it should not leak. In fact, the walls are so study that you don't even require to paint them. However, much better to paint as my brother and I did. It is wonderful question and thanks for asking and I hope that I have answered it for you. God Bless my friend.
Congrats on the membership! I will get right to the point, what are your ages? I know... So rude, huh?
Thanks for watching and I am the oldest and we both are in our mid-60's. No worries!
Will you be living in TN, or In FL? Or, will you be using it as an Air B&B? I have a lot in the Prairie. Been too ill, to get this condo decluttered, and cleaned to sell, God willing. I keep praying He will help me get this done. Would love to meet you, once I get settled there. I could be your older sister! 😁👍🤭
@@abundantlyclear I will spend my summers in TN and then spend the fall and spring in north Florida as I cheer on the lady FSU soccer and softball programs
Water spickets you do need.
Totally agree and thanks for watching
Are u monetized yet? I have enjoyed watching your progress so far
Not yet and thanks for watching. I need to find out how to get monetized.
@@VanLifeStorytelling u need 4000 watch hours and 1000 subscribers
Get everyone u know to rewatch all your videos over and over or do a live showing your tiny house. Try to stay on 1 hr. U get lots of time built up that way quick
@@carol07643 Thanks for the advice and if I ever slow down from one tiny home to the other, good suggestion
@@carol07643 Wow! Dop you have a RUclips channel?
What an amazing accomplishment & adventure. So nice of your brother to be there as well. All the outdoor activities you both mentioned I sure hope to do down there someday. Been studying the region, Smokey Mountain, Appalachia & Newport in particular with ITH for 2 yrs now. I need to stop day dreaming & make it a reality & almost "spiritual journey". Look forward to your next video sir..👍
Come on the join us and if you live at the ITH community, it is my understanding there is a group of folks who hike as a group. Thanks for watching.
You've done yourself well by going from temporarily homeless to owning both a Florida escape and a mountain area home 🤍💚💛💚🤍
Thanks so very much for your kind words and your support
