    I've been a tiny house fan for quite a while. This is one of my all time favs. 1st - NO LOFT . . . Yay! Real plumbed toilet. All the wood makes it so warm and cozy. Amazing deck. Efficient and well-appointed kitchen. And - although I never thought about it b4 - outdoor shower is cool. Add an outdoor hot tub - and - I'm there. Love your variety when it comes to vlogs. Thanks!

    Thank you for taking the time and the effort to support mental health. One in five people in Canada are directly impacted in some way by mental health issues. Every little bit counts. Education is vital. Spread the word. Love your channel especially the train vlogs. When they are back on the tracks, I recommend you hit up VIA for a possible video series on the Prestige Class on the Canadian. My wife and I travelled from Halifax to Vancouver by train in 2019. From Toronto to Vancouver we did the Prestige class, with larger room, larget window, leather sofas that turn into a queen sized bed at night, and all bar drinks are included. It's a once-in-a-life-time experience and well suited for DownieLive

      It sounds amazing, Bill. It’s definitely on my list of train trips to experience, as soon as it is safe to travel across provinces again.
      Luckily I have already filmed a VIA Rail trip in Edmonton coming out in 2 weeks.
