LOL some people would complain about being hung with a new rope. If living in a little community doesn’t appeal to you, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! I will put my tiny home on property in the woods because it’s what makes me happy. But gazillions of people live in condos or apartments. I think it’s neat the way individual tastes and creativity is encouraged instead of everything being the same. Once again, if you LIKE everything being the same, find a situation that fits you. But don’t complain or criticize this model.
OMG…..what a heartfelt community….happy tears came to my eyes listening to how happy & grateful the Grove residents are. I just love the Grove…beautiful, colorful, quaint gardens..the cuteness is abundant. I really enjoy this video!!!!! Mmm..I think I’ll watch it again. Love you guys. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🏠🐶
These people have found contentment. It is truly amazing what Randy and Amanda have created and obviously very much needed. Continue to do what is in your heart Randy. Sending very best wishes from England.
I so love the Grove. There’s a couple of us that walk our dogs at night and love seeing what everyone is doing with their homes. I’ve met so many of the Grove residents and they are all so nice. I really think happy people attract other happy people. I live at the Beach and feel the same way, I thank God every day for sending me here. My friends feel the same way. Thank you so much Randy and Amanda and everyone at ITH. God bless you.
😮😊what a beautiful lay out for the Grove. I absolutely love it! Each home owner has plenty front yard space,yet close enough to help each other in time of need. Your houses on wheel has more front yard spaces than some of our regular housing neighborhoods here in NJ. This is what the affordable housing all about! We need more communities like this in America! Keep up the great work!
This was an amazing video! To see the residents and hear how much they love their homes and the entire community was so heartwarming! I was pretty sure Randy was gonna tear up any minute and it would have been just fine. The feeling of accomplishment has to be overwhelming when you hear those folks praise their homes and community and the both of you! I can't wait to see the other streets in this area. It's going to be exciting! Have a wonderful week and God Bless you for all you do!!
@@Swim136 he said they were going to get topsoil. I guess the residents get to decide if they want low maintenance ground cover, grass, rocks, veg garden, etc.
well hey Chris. great comment and to my surprise we have the same name. Im also Chris Dunn. I live in North Central Florida originally from Waterbury, CT. Talk about coincidence.
@@timeforchange3786 - Yes, I'd rather have clover or other ground cover instead of grass. You don't have to maintain it, rarely needs to be cut, and can be walked on.
That chicken wire set up for that porch is great for her dog. Good idea to enclose a porch with the illusion of it still being open. The dog is outside but not out loose. That's good for both the dog and the neighbors.
WOW! The Grove is looking awesome!! Randy and Amanda I've been watching this channel for several years and it is just amazing the growth and progress that I've seen happen. Randy and Amanda you definitely both have a "Hearts of Gold"!! I believe most business owners would have spun this in a way that was all about them profiting! You both have totally put the people first. You've changed SO many lives!! I really don't know how you shoulder all the responsibility that goes into running your operation but somehow you manage to. You give back even I do believe at times at your own expense. Anyone who cannot see that does not belong there!! It was so nice to see someone sing your praises because you both deserve that. I am very proud of both of you and I truly hope you are proud of yourselves!!! PS: I hope some of the homeowners are open for some house tours. I LOVE seeing the creativity people come up with!! Bless you both! I do believe God will continue to bless you because your hearts are in the right place!!
Way back when Randy announced to open up the Grove section of the community, that there would be a contest to show off the way that each home owner decorated or what they did to set-apart their home from another resident’s home. I cant’t wait for those videos!!! It won’t be too long for the majority of the units to be placed and to be occupied, whether it is by the full time resident or how a unit , that was purchased for an Air B&B rental, is set up & show-cased. The creativity and practical use of small spaces can be very interesting, informative, and innovative, for sure! Let the tours & voting, begin!
The Grove could really use a designated area for 2nd vehicle and visitor parking. The Grove is really taking shape, love all the colors and individual touches!
The lady from Lexington, VA is quite talented! She could sell her painted rocks at craft shows. You all should have a resident craft fair! Randy, you are recreating the world that WE grew up with. Everybody looking out for everybody else. A sense of community and belonging. Something that has been lost in many other communities. Thank you. Hoping to join those happy people in another year. ❤
Life has gotten so hard for folks just to survive now days, and being older and alone can be financially crippling. Yes these communities and houses are lower costing but they have given back people's pride and hope for a better future. Friends and family connections for those who were previously isolated and alone. It warms my heart to see how much joy the residents have now in their daily lives.
Everything looks really wonderful! What people need to realize is the people that live in a close community close to each other chose that. They could go up on the mountain and be more separate if they wanted to.
@@timeforchange3786yes. i was under the impression that a shed and porch/deck was included in the price of the 12’x20’ home/lot. I see no space for one, unless there is a separate area for all of the ones that opted for one.
I like some of the bright colors people picked for their homes. Makes them look fun and unique. (At least you won't pull into someone else's driveway accidently like if they were all painted the same color.🙂)
Randy, Amanda, I've been visiting the smallest and most picturesque towns in East Tennessee, but the beautiful relaxed and joyful atmosphere that exists in the ITH communities is very UNIQUE!! Thank you for the "Vital Environments" you manage to create!!❤❤❤
All these residents are displaying the sentiments that you hoped for in the Grove! They love 💕 where they are, their neighbors, and the community spirit that is everywhere! Your giving praise to Randy and Amanda was so helpful to their psyche and totally reduces the small number of critics. ✅
God Bless each and every one at The Grove. Everyone is celebrating their individual tastes and there isn't any competition. Such a God send. Community is also a great medicine for positive mental health. I was just watching a report on the homeless situation in LA and how the counsel of leaders was saying tiny homes are not a solution to the homeless condition. OH, my word...How is that so? Look at the example The Grove is showing. How affordable housing can give each person a sense of pride, self-worth, and community with people in similar situations. There is harmony, a clean environment, and support. Give them a home and they will ban together and make it beautiful. And the naysayers are only alienating themselves. People are fed up with negativity. We should all pray in unison that the powers in lawmaking can't rid the world of this beautiful solution. Praying that Randy's and ITH's dream will become the dream of the whole affordable housing epidemic.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for sharing the latest and letting us meet your community. And what a community it is. The ladies are GREAT!!!! Such a positive attitude and beautiful thoughts that they shared with you and us. I love what they are doing with their homes and how their homes are an extension of them and their spirits. AWESOME
Hey Randy and Amanda I loved this video! Randy do you see how your vision is coming to fruition, by this time next year no one will believe that's the Grove! I love how each home owner is really personalizing their space and they're happy! Randy I know you were overjoyed in your spirit to hear such positive accolades 🤣🙌 This is your testimony "see what God has done"! Blessings 🙏😊
we went there earlier this year and stayed in the blue Airbnb on the beach. It was a great experience, we got to enjoy actually trying one out. I highly recommend it if you can do it.
I have watched you forever Randy ❤. I have seen and felt your struggles through the years. Well, Randy this video made me cry. To see their darling homes 🏡 as you and Amanda stroll. Providing a community for them and seeing the birds flying🐦👏. You've really done something magical Randy. I call you Winnie the Pooh Bear in my head. Providing jobs and creating a community, it's just exquisite Randy!!!
Hi Randy, just a thought - on the island in the pond you dug out you should plant a weeping willow tree. Once it grows up, I think it will look awesome!
Wow and Wow, what a lovely loving video. Just hearing what so many people on Olive Tree Way had to say about how they love their community. The last lady had me crying with joy and such hope for those people who are starting over in a new place. It is nice that they are working on their own places, but will help others. I love a neighborhood where you meet up to talk in the street or in mine on the sidewalk. I can see these people having bar-b-ques or pot lock. Randy, You are responsible for this. Much love to the whole business, men and women building, people in the sales office, doing all the booking, it takes a village and you have created one.
Wow! That was 38 mins and 5 seconds of Happy! The Grove is really coming to life! You couldn't have sat down and scripted this video to make it any better! The crane at the edge of the lake, happy neighbors with cute puppies, people gardening and fixing up their places....even hummingbirds showing up, right on cue! If any of the city planners wanna ask questions, just show'em THIS! (Matter of fact, I'd email it to the mayor TONIGHT!) It didn't hurt, either, that the UPS man showed up right when he did. (Lots of us are really dependent on our Amazon deliveries, lol.) That lady from Hawaii's endorsement was the frosting on the cake. Good Job, Randy Jones! (And 'Manders, too!!)😊
Love it ! the Grove is a fabulous community! That tree of life giving that tiny home shade has the best spot 😊 once all the trees are all in gonna be like putting on lipstick that final touch. Lol so many like minded folks in this community. Friends helping each other. ❤❤❤❤ incredible fabulously done
I’m amazed at how fast the grove has come along. The river rock decretive borders with flowers are absolutely gorgeous. That bird looked like a stork. Seeing a hummingbird so up close is a blessing.
The only thing missing is a big enough yard with grass for a dog you can let out during the day....and I wouldn't be happy looking out my kitchen window at the side of someones house
I've been watching you over time. This video answered a nagging thought I had about environment and community. Beautiful. I agree with your decision to put a solid fence along the roadway ( near video end). This may increase a sense of safety for residents - it would for me. I LOVE the rock gardens and decks!!!! I'm going to look into the Grove.
I just kinda sniffled my through this one. OMG y’all are seriously changing the world & making it possible for folks to be truly happy with what truly counts. Bless y’all!
😇 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙌 🫶 🙌 🙏 🙏 🙏 😇 Oh my goodness, thank you so much for creating this heartfelt ♥️ community where we can make friends and help & support each other in our lives everyday! With tears of gratitude, Thank you ITH!
Great job on all of the decorating! Every once in a while I cry because I want to be there so bad. Hubby just keeps telling me that we will, and I say as long as Randy doesn't run out of room. Love you guys! The crazy pillow lady.😊
In a lot of cities there are houses that are so close together you can hardly walk between them. Everyone will have a wonderful idea of decorating. You would definitely feel safe laying in your bed at night surrounded by lovely neighbours.
See Randy…..we told you everyone who counts appreciates you. This was a great video and it was a shot of positivity brought to us by your happy homeowners!
I have those birds walking around my property in pairs (Florida). I call them toddlers they’re so big. I believe they’re some kind of Heron. The Grove is adorable, and the residents so friendly and caring.
@@SharonUK Sandhill cranes reside in Florida and are easily identifiable because of their red heads, do your "big birds" have red heads and grey bodies? If not, they are probably egrets.
@@SharonUK I live in Vero Beach. Moved here from NY 4.5 years ago. Did you buy a house ? I’m praying to buy an 8x10 I-box. My house here is loaded with mold behind the walls, ceilings, etc… I have to get out of it.
What a wonderful community the Groves is. The homes are really looking pretty. Once everyone put their touches in their front yards and the Crabapple trees are planted it’s going to WOW Factor Plus!!!! Randy your vision for each community has been spot on. Don’t ever let anyone discourage you, You Be A Genius. Love you two. ✊🏻✊🏻🙏🙏🏠🏡🏘️🥇🌴🌳🌲
Just found your channel the other day and I’m so happy, I’m hooked lol 😂 I love the community and the lovely tiny homes 🏡 ❤I wish we had something like this in the UK 🇬🇧
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️. I hope Randy and Amanda will watch reruns of this on the days when things look bleak. That or go take a walk in these beautiful communities you have created to soak up the love❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a positive looking community . The colors are stunning. No doubt in my mind your vision Randy. Na sayers you don't have to pay attention,obviously this delightful life is not for you. People are enjoying the freedom of living within their means. Randy and Amanda have provided. What a fabulous working set of minds. Yes it brings tears to my eyes and heart ❤️ just joyous. WE GET IT.....those of like minds
How sad that is how you saw things. I saw a group of women who have their own homes and whose creations are an extension of themselves. Each of those ladies are individuals whose creations extend beyond themselves and they share their happiness with others. It was so beautiful.
What a wonderful tour of one street in The Grove! Everyone is sooooooo happy livin' the good life. Love what they're all doing to decorate their homes and yards.
One of the best videos I have seen in some time. It looks like the residents are coming together to form a real community. BTW, that bird appears to be a great white egret. I could not see its legs, but if they were black, then it is a great white egret.
I have been following/subscribed for a while. Saving my $$$. I love the spirit of the grove! Randy and Amanda, ya'll are so kind, loving and generous. Thank you for blessings so many lives. 🙏💌
❤ I just LOVE the vibe at the Grove! I teared up hearing how happy the people are there. I would be there in a minute if I had the means and my family moved with me. ❤
Beautiful just Beautiful !! Love everything Y'all are Doing !! Texting with tears !! Thanks for Being caring Loving People !! The best is yet to Come.. God Bless
These are such adorable little homes I love how everyone is putting such a beautiful personal touch. The burgundy home is wonderful! She has made it so beautiful. I hope people will let us see the inside of their places so we can get a good idea how to use the inside space to the fullest. I have a feeling some of the insides are just as wonderful as the porches : ) I love to see how The Grove is coming to life and what everyone is doing to their little places!
Congratulations! What a nice project!! Perhaps a good idea could be to get in touch with many organizations who can help you develop some kind of regenerative work, with the pond and surroundings, to restore wildlife and make it completely sustainable. All the best form far away Argentina!!!
When I lived in Florida there was one of those birds that came to my kitchen window for breakfast and then again at suppertime. He or she was a Egret. they love fish but will eat almost anything I fed him bread and he even tryed my turkey bacon. Love love love how the grove has grown.
Relax folks please. This was 20 yrs ago in the middle of a Florida drought. I obviously didn't know better. However when a large bird flys up to you it isn't because they need or want cuddles. He drank fresh water from a tuna can and stale bread from the ground that I and my ancestors before me sprinkled on the ground for the squirrels and birds after breakfast. He was so happy he had something he returned whenever he was in the neighborhood. I suspect it all was much better than the dead fish on the beach from the red tide. Thank you and Have a nice day.
Wonderful video of Community living with heart felt feeling of happiness. Looks awesome. Love it Randy, you had a Dream!!! Looks like that dream is coming true in spades. Thank you too Amanda.💕💕 From OZ.🤗
WOW Beautiful Amanda and Randy. Can it get any better! The GROVE is way more than a row of BEAUTIFUL houses. It is a row of AMAZING WONDERFUL people living in the Grove. Randy and Amanda you took a chance and the people took a chance and I am just in AWE listening. Please Please keep sharing. ❤
Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you guys got such nice loving compliments from your people in the grove. We keep tellin ya you are doing a BEAUTIFUL thing💗💞 Its nice to hear how you have changed peoples lives..now did anyone else hear the theme song from Weeds when those cute colorful houses were shown? "🎶Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of tickytacky, little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same. 🎶There's a Pink one , and a Green one, and a Blue one, and a 🎶Yellow one....🎶lol They look Soooo CUTE!!! Did you know once you build a pond, fish will eventually start to appear? There is some proof the birds, like the one in the video, bring back eggs on their feet or drop a fresh fish full of eggs from another pond while flying and plant them in the next pond. There are many accounts of people who have ponds where the fish just started to appear. Sounds crazy but I guess nature takes over when given the chance.
Just a thought I had about the crab apple trees. I think it's wonderful to put a tree on everyone's lot, but if everyone has the same kind of tree, you're going to be overwhelmed with just one type of fruit. Wouldn't it be great if instead, you could plant a few different kinds of fruit tree? (I'd vote for peach!! 😁) That way, come harvest time, folks could share and everyone would end up with a variety. Of course it may be too late to change that plan now. Anyway, like I said, just a thought. You guys are doing great though. Keep up the good work. I watch most all of your videos. Once I sell my current home and figure out a few logistics, I hope to become a future customer. 😊
Yes peach lemon apple pear a variety of fruit trees that can handle the weather imagine just walking by pick a fruit snack on it on the way to fish for dinner then head to community farden fir fresh veggies 😊❤
I just love these walk-throughs The Grove ( and all the other neighborhoods)… my Son and I are planning to come up from Florida to visit in the early fall.. I just need to walk through the models and see it ‘in real time’… have a beautiful day🌹🌹🌹
Well Done Randy & Amanda!!!! You two are changing the world one person at a time! I love turning on my computer and seeing/watching Y'All. You brighten my day and I really wish I was there . Im financially able, only problem is Im stuck in a "situation", I just need to be brave and make the move. Do you have a lot/place that I Can bring my horse with me, mayb if I was to lease an extra lot....maybe on the mountain?? Best wishes to You All~
Hi Randy & Amanda 🙋♀️ This is an awesome video, love it❤❤ Love to see how the residents are doing their yards, porches etc.❤😊 15:43 Enjoyed seeing the hummingbirds ❤❤ Beautiful community ❤❤😊
Another morning with you and my coffee. I'm watching 16 hours after you posted. I had my doubts about the grove with the houses being so close together -- Wow, am I impressed! I love it! I tell my family and friends about you and maybe one day I can be apart of your community. 😊 Btw, I watch you on my TV and just had to grab my laptop and comment.
I just love the Beach and the Grove. This is sooooo encouraging! Question: The Incred-I-boxes that are lined up on the main road are those lots? ❤❤❤It’s all love! I see how come those home owners are happy-they have a huge burden lifted. Giving makes me happy. Amanda are y’all hiring? I am trying to get there!
The 8x20 Incrediboxes lined up there are the finished Black Friday Sale homes, waiting to be picked up or delivered to their homeowners. They are all sold, not on lots, and most are going elsewhere. ITH is growing, always looking for hard working, positive, team players, and never seem to have enough painters (if you don't mind being cross trained, they love employees who can do more than 1 thing, and are willing to be trained in the ITH way).
LOL some people would complain about being hung with a new rope. If living in a little community doesn’t appeal to you, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! I will put my tiny home on property in the woods because it’s what makes me happy. But gazillions of people live in condos or apartments. I think it’s neat the way individual tastes and creativity is encouraged instead of everything being the same. Once again, if you LIKE everything being the same, find a situation that fits you. But don’t complain or criticize this model.
well said!
Amen!
OMG…..what a heartfelt community….happy tears came to my eyes listening to how happy & grateful the Grove residents are. I just love the Grove…beautiful, colorful, quaint gardens..the cuteness is abundant. I really enjoy this video!!!!! Mmm..I think I’ll watch it again. Love you guys. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🏠🐶
A little to much there
These people have found contentment. It is truly amazing what Randy and Amanda have created and obviously very much needed. Continue to do what is in your heart Randy. Sending very best wishes from England.
I'm looking for contentment!!!
Yeah me too!!!!
@@Bridget82267 I hope you both find it. It is worth more than any monetary value. Sending you both love x
It's stork
I so love the Grove. There’s a couple of us that walk our dogs at night and love seeing what everyone is doing with their homes. I’ve met so many of the Grove residents and they are all so nice. I really think happy people attract other happy people. I live at the Beach and feel the same way, I thank God every day for sending me here. My friends feel the same way. Thank you so much Randy and Amanda and everyone at ITH. God bless you.

❤️🎉
If i didnt have 200 family members 4 boys and all the grands id be there for sure. Im in northern PERU, SOUTH AMERICA ❤❤❤❤

Did you hear that Maui is on FIRE? I used to live there. It's very disheartening to watch.
It takes time to build anything and much longer to create something. You are building tiny houses and creating community. Well done. God bless.

Because these people can afford their own little home they have joy and contentment so it brings out their creativity! They are happy!!
They feel like a million dollars! Wow God Bless You All. Very Humbling.😊❤

I’m amazed at how fast the grove has come along. The river rock decretive borders with flowers are absolutely gorgeous. That bird looked like a stork. Seeing a hummingbird so up close is a blessing.
The only thing missing is a big enough yard with grass for a dog you can let out during the day....and I wouldn't be happy looking out my kitchen window at the side of someones house
I've been watching you over time. This video answered a nagging thought I had about environment and community. Beautiful. I agree with your decision to put a solid fence along the roadway ( near video end). This may increase a sense of safety for residents - it would for me. I LOVE the rock gardens and decks!!!! I'm going to look into the Grove.
I just kinda sniffled my through this one. OMG y’all are seriously changing the world & making it possible for folks to be truly happy with what truly counts. Bless y’all!
😇 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙌 🫶 🙌 🙏 🙏 🙏 😇
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for creating this heartfelt ♥️ community where we can make friends and help & support each other in our lives everyday!
With tears of gratitude,
Thank you ITH!
Great job on all of the decorating! Every once in a while I cry because I want to be there so bad. Hubby just keeps telling me that we will, and I say as long as Randy doesn't run out of room. Love you guys! The crazy pillow lady.😊
In a lot of cities there are houses that are so close together you can hardly walk between them. Everyone will have a wonderful idea of decorating. You would definitely feel safe laying in your bed at night surrounded by lovely neighbours.
See Randy…..we told you everyone who counts appreciates you. This was a great video and it was a shot of positivity brought to us by your happy homeowners!
I have those birds walking around my property in pairs (Florida). I call them toddlers they’re so big. I believe they’re some kind of Heron.
The Grove is adorable, and the residents so friendly and caring.
They sure are toddler size. I’m in Florida too and my husband loves capturing photos and video of them. Very beautiful birds.
I'm pretty sure it's an egret.
@@AZHITW you are right. It's an egret.
@@SharonUK Sandhill cranes reside in Florida and are easily identifiable because of their red heads, do your "big birds" have red heads and grey bodies? If not, they are probably egrets.
@@SharonUK I live in Vero Beach. Moved here from NY 4.5 years ago. Did you buy a house ? I’m praying to buy an 8x10 I-box. My house here is loaded with mold behind the walls, ceilings, etc… I have to get out of it.
Wow that is a real testimony on how wonderful what you are doing for people.
So amazing every time I watch it get better and better…
your community is filling up with some creative folks! The little houses are being decorated so beautifully .
Love the stone flower beds 💞🙋♀️☕🧁🧘♀️
They are gorgeous
What a wonderful community the Groves is. The homes are really looking pretty. Once everyone put their touches in their front yards and the Crabapple trees are planted it’s going to WOW Factor Plus!!!! Randy your vision for each community has been spot on. Don’t ever let anyone discourage you, You Be A Genius. Love you two. ✊🏻✊🏻🙏🙏🏠🏡🏘️🥇🌴🌳🌲
Her little pink home is adorable 😊
I hope one day they do a tour
I really love the way they are making their homes... HOMES!!!! ❤
Well Randy, I hope you are smiling from ear to ear. Very heartwarming video.
Just found your channel the other day and I’m so happy, I’m hooked lol 😂 I love the community and the lovely tiny homes 🏡 ❤I wish we had something like this in the UK 🇬🇧
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️. I hope Randy and Amanda will watch reruns of this on the days when things look bleak. That or go take a walk in these beautiful communities you have created to soak up the love❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a positive looking community . The colors are stunning. No doubt in my mind your vision Randy. Na sayers you don't have to pay attention,obviously this delightful life is not for you. People are enjoying the freedom of living within their means. Randy and Amanda have provided. What a fabulous working set of minds.
Yes it brings tears to my eyes and heart ❤️ just joyous.
WE GET IT.....those of like minds
The Grove is looking absolutely fantastic 👌
Such a beautiful community and I'm so looking forward to being a part of this amazing community at Buffalo Creek ❤
So much for privacy and peace living so close to neighbors.
They have other neighborhoods that have bigger lots.
It's the choice they made, just as apartment or row house dwellers make their choices. You are free to choose other options.
@@chezmoi42 Amen, I know some other developers who offer land for tiny homes.
@@annjames1837😂
How sad that is how you saw things. I saw a group of women who have their own homes and whose creations are an extension of themselves. Each of those ladies are individuals whose creations extend beyond themselves and they share their happiness with others. It was so beautiful.
Wow!!! How very very nice The Grove looks 🤩🤩.
I imagine that there's nothing like getting in on the beginning of a community to help shape it! It's looking so lovely!
I think the Grove is beautiful!! What a blessing that Randy created these communities! So many happy people…can’t wait til we are there!!!
Ya'll should do a Halloween decoration and Christmas decoration contest in the grove. Winner get's a free panel or something for their yard, lol
I was thinking that too. A fall and holiday home tour like they do in wealthy neighborhoods.
Great idea!
That is a respectable tiny home place.👍
Awwww i want to live there soooooo much! Love this video Randy and Amanda! ❤
The Grove is looking amazing. It is nice to see how people are decorating the houses and the property.
You guys should be so proud of what you are accomplishing in the Grove community. Everyone seems so happy there!
This was so awesome to hear these people and to see everyone out working in their yards... it's just BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
The fences & work the residents have done have really made this look like a beautiful neighborhood.
Well this was super fun and encouraging!! I am super impressed with how this turned out and how sweet everyone is to each other ❤
What a wonderful tour of one street in The Grove! Everyone is sooooooo happy livin' the good life. Love what they're all doing to decorate their homes and yards.
One of the best videos I have seen in some time. It looks like the residents are coming together to form a real community. BTW, that bird appears to be a great white egret. I could not see its legs, but if they were black, then it is a great white egret.
Absolutely love that the ladies have brought over fish, from the river to the pond. That fisher bird appreciates them, too❣️
What beautiful souls these ladies have. I want to live there too!
I have been following/subscribed for a while. Saving my $$$. I love the spirit of the grove!
Randy and Amanda, ya'll are so kind, loving and generous. Thank you for blessings so many lives.
🙏💌
❤ I just LOVE the vibe at the Grove! I teared up hearing how happy the people are there. I would be there in a minute if I had the means and my family moved with me. ❤
This is an awesome planned community, and it is so great that y'all did it!!!😊🎉❤
Beautiful just Beautiful !! Love everything Y'all are Doing !! Texting with tears !! Thanks for Being caring Loving People !! The best is yet to Come.. God Bless
This video made me cry. Randy to see your dream come to life is so awesome, I call yawl my peeps.💌
These are such adorable little homes I love how everyone is putting such a beautiful personal touch. The burgundy home is wonderful! She has made it so beautiful. I hope people will let us see the inside of their places so we can get a good idea how to use the inside space to the fullest. I have a feeling some of the insides are just as wonderful as the porches : ) I love to see how The Grove is coming to life and what everyone is doing to their little places!
Congratulations! What a nice project!! Perhaps a good idea could be to get in touch with many organizations who can help you develop some kind of regenerative work, with the pond and surroundings, to restore wildlife and make it completely sustainable. All the best form far away Argentina!!!
When I lived in Florida there was one of those birds that came to my kitchen window for breakfast and then again at suppertime. He or she was a Egret. they love fish but will eat almost anything I fed him bread and he even tryed my turkey bacon. Love love love how the grove has grown.
@@mwheezy8885 Good information.
Relax folks please. This was 20 yrs ago in the middle of a Florida drought. I obviously didn't know better. However when a large bird flys up to you it isn't because they need or want cuddles. He drank fresh water from a tuna can and stale bread from the ground that I and my ancestors before me sprinkled on the ground for the squirrels and birds after breakfast. He was so happy he had something he returned whenever he was in the neighborhood. I suspect it all was much better than the dead fish on the beach from the red tide. Thank you and Have a nice day.
Wonderful video of Community living with heart felt feeling of happiness. Looks awesome. Love it Randy, you had a Dream!!! Looks like that dream is coming true in spades. Thank you too Amanda.💕💕 From OZ.🤗
Everything about this video gave me a warm-fuzzy feeling about the Grove Community!!
What a amazing video and people brought tears to my eyes. This is my dream. ❤
What a wonderful video. Love seeing how happy people r there. Your dreams r coming true Randy. Just Amazing.
WOW Beautiful Amanda and Randy. Can it get any better! The GROVE is way more than a row of BEAUTIFUL houses. It is a row of AMAZING WONDERFUL people living in the Grove. Randy and Amanda you took a chance and the people took a chance and I am just in AWE listening. Please Please keep sharing. ❤
Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you guys got such nice loving compliments from your people in the grove. We keep tellin ya you are doing a BEAUTIFUL thing💗💞 Its nice to hear how you have changed peoples lives..now did anyone else hear the theme song from Weeds when those cute colorful houses were shown? "🎶Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of tickytacky, little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same. 🎶There's a Pink one , and a Green one, and a Blue one, and a 🎶Yellow one....🎶lol They look Soooo CUTE!!! Did you know once you build a pond, fish will eventually start to appear? There is some proof the birds, like the one in the video, bring back eggs on their feet or drop a fresh fish full of eggs from another pond while flying and plant them in the next pond. There are many accounts of people who have ponds where the fish just started to appear. Sounds crazy but I guess nature takes over when given the chance.
What a great video!! God bless you Randy and Amanda, you are Truly living your dream!! Continued success!!
What a beautiful little Community makes my ❤ happy to see these people so happy about their homes!
Just a thought I had about the crab apple trees. I think it's wonderful to put a tree on everyone's lot, but if everyone has the same kind of tree, you're going to be overwhelmed with just one type of fruit. Wouldn't it be great if instead, you could plant a few different kinds of fruit tree? (I'd vote for peach!! 😁) That way, come harvest time, folks could share and everyone would end up with a variety. Of course it may be too late to change that plan now. Anyway, like I said, just a thought. You guys are doing great though. Keep up the good work. I watch most all of your videos. Once I sell my current home and figure out a few logistics, I hope to become a future customer. 😊
Yes peach lemon apple pear a variety of fruit trees that can handle the weather imagine just walking by pick a fruit snack on it on the way to fish for dinner then head to community farden fir fresh veggies 😊❤
@@lesialepleyfail9361 he says one day they will have a fruit orchard somewhere.
Oh, for the canopy.. okay, gotcha.
@@nightbird4747
Yeah, I'm sure whatever they come up with, it'll become more impressive each year. They're off to a great start.@@lesialepleyfail9361
They are probably flowering crabs with no fruit. Fruiting crab apples are very very messy.
I just love these walk-throughs The Grove ( and all the other neighborhoods)… my Son and I are planning to come up from Florida to visit in the early fall.. I just need to walk through the models and see it ‘in real time’… have a beautiful day🌹🌹🌹
Love it guys, been fun watching your Plans come together and I will keep watching. Big Hugs from Australia!
Well Done Randy & Amanda!!!! You two are changing the world one person at a time! I love turning on my computer and seeing/watching Y'All. You brighten my day and I really wish I was there . Im financially able, only problem is Im stuck in a "situation", I just need to be brave and make the move. Do you have a lot/place that I Can bring my horse with me, mayb if I was to lease an extra lot....maybe on the mountain?? Best wishes to You All~
Hi Randy & Amanda 🙋♀️ This is an awesome video, love it❤❤ Love to see how the residents are doing their yards, porches etc.❤😊 15:43 Enjoyed seeing the hummingbirds ❤❤ Beautiful community ❤❤😊
Awwwwe ....... I thought Randy was going to cry.
This was a great video. I always dreamed of doing something like this up here north of Toronto.
Another morning with you and my coffee. I'm watching 16 hours after you posted. I had my doubts about the grove with the houses being so close together -- Wow, am I impressed! I love it! I tell my family and friends about you and maybe one day I can be apart of your community. 😊 Btw, I watch you on my TV and just had to grab my laptop and comment.
Good job everyone 🎊🎉🎈💞
This video was AWESOME SAUCE! Sign me up for the next high-density neighborhood you develop!
Thanks for showing us all the updates at the Grove! Love the colors and the unique spin every homeowner has brought to it. Great job!❤
A sense of community with individuality. I would love to live on any ITH property. Thank you for helping to make dreams come true.
The Grove is really coming along! It looks beautiful! The people that were able to afford and move into their house now are so fortunate!
It does look very cute. The various colored row houses look awesome. Great job everyone!
I just love the Beach and the Grove. This is sooooo encouraging!
Question: The Incred-I-boxes that are lined up on the main road are those lots?
❤❤❤It’s all love! I see how come those home owners are happy-they have a huge burden lifted. Giving makes me happy.
Amanda are y’all hiring?
I am trying to get there!
The 8x20 Incrediboxes lined up there are the finished Black Friday Sale homes, waiting to be picked up or delivered to their homeowners. They are all sold, not on lots, and most are going elsewhere. ITH is growing, always looking for hard working, positive, team players, and never seem to have enough painters (if you don't mind being cross trained, they love employees who can do more than 1 thing, and are willing to be trained in the ITH way).
