I was one of those people that suggested to have the 2 bottom steps flip up or move to side out of the pathway for walking. I believe that idea is a great one. I’m sure others would agree also.
@@Roobah YUP... a good opportunity to create an efficiently produced prototype step with removable or preferably slide in bottom 2 steps... That can be a permanent amenity if well designed, and efficiently produced. The bottom steps do NOT need glide hardware.... I have an old wooden drawer on its side in my kitchen... Gets used as a seat, used as storage, and used as a step... It's heavyweight solid wood.... We have 8 little plastic feet on the bottom... That is simply and easily slides around on with hardly much of a push. There are 2 types of easy furniture feet... Those you hammer in(break easily) ... And those you screw in(very tugged and long lasting) .... The hammer in type often split(and the nails often bend during installation 1 in 10 will breal... The screw in type are solid, don't break, long lasting, and permanently glide well... But require a guide hole drilled.... So the screw in type would be a good candidate for the bottom set of 2 steps.... Would need 8 glides.... Might get away with 6 glides.... 3 or 4 each side rolight and left
@@Roobah and how is @Roobah? Hoping you are well... Happy belated Easter, and joyous spring... Winter seems like it was long this year... Hope you are well...
Was wondering the height of these built homes, and if they can go just around the limit of height is allowed maybe it would give more head room for taller customers, and if can’t raise height of house perhaps not put door by loft and not have window exactly under where the loft would be maybe to lower window so loft can be low but high enough for some headroom, but if it was mine the height of 6ft would be high enough because I'm short and the only person I know over 6ft is my ex and he's not welcome to be in there anyways 😅, but having the footage higher would be nice not sure of limit, maybe 13ft -14ft
It's for sleeping...duck your head! 🤦 Or just put your bed on the floor level and use the loft for storage. Or buy a different model. Or stay where you are and don't buy one 🤷
@@KatieAllison77 I just have a knee jerk reaction to negative Nellies 🤣 Offer your suggestions in a positive way, or realize it's your opinion and maybe, just maybe, not everyone has the same requirements
@@Bosslady0202 The floor of the loft is at the top of the door, so it can't be lowered without moving the door. I think he said they were going to make the steps steeper so as to eliminate one, that would be the first step to make a bit more room between the door and the living area.
@@loripalmieri1205 LOL, I heard what he said, he described it as a "full bedroom. But people read or watch television in bed, hopefully they change their sheets and maybe they even have sex there. This is a prototype, presumably presented to "us" to point out things they might have missed. FWIW, sleeping lofts can vary from cozy sanctuaries to coffin-like, the difference is a matter of inches.
I'm 5'5 short 😂 I still would want more headroom, if it can be done, I think having similar inside styles would be ok if outside isn't the same, other homes have stairs and lofts with headroom, thinking if height of homes are the same or not to make it different 🤔
@@KatieAllison77 I like Randy's home designs, this is the first one I really don't like. If you put a normal mattress up top and simply sit up in your bed your head is gonna hit the ceiling. Look at randy sitting here. 05:08 If he had a mattress under his bum he'd be hitting his head. Randy is about 5ft8 I think, maybe a little shorter.
I don't think it's really a good idea to have microwave on top of frig. because it's too high and too much chance of getting burnt.....can't see what your hands are taking out of microwave. I wouldn't want my microwave up there.
What is the tongue weight? You have to know the tongue weight as well before you say, pull it with a pickup truck. Since know one in the past has revealed the true scale weight of any tiny home or the tongue weight, or the GVWR of the trailer they are using, I cannot buy any of these specials being offered.
This is an Amazing Design, that is a lot of Square Footage for the Money !! I studied Architecture as that was my Dream, though I did not get that Dream. I Know and Understand Design and Spaces. This is an Outstanding Deal for the Money !! Beautiful Design ! As for that Chopped Stringer that looks Sketch, but it will hold a person. It will look and fit right with the modification you mentioned. RANDY, I know you Love your Incred-i-Box. BUT, I think You and Ace Deserve one of these Models. Man you created something Amazing, get one of these for you and Ace, you Deserve it !! 😊
QUESTION : IF Randy is "still living in the 8x16' Incredibox", ... Then WHAT HAPPENED to the Custom Tiny Home that the crew BUILT for Randy ????? I am sure MANY Others want to know as well ..... 🤔
maybe leave the landing, but move the bottom portion under the window, so it's a straight shot going up. The bottom portion of the stairs could be used for additional seating in the living area, and maybe, drawers for storage. I agree with what someone else said about needing more headroom upstairs. Maybe drop the loft just a little. It's a great concept though, I bet you'll sell a bunch
I think it could possibly be dropped just a bit, but I also see the point of having the most headroom in the spaces where you spend the most time. I personally wouldn't mind it coming down a couple of inches but I'm not claustrophobic 🤷
My friend Paulette just visited today and sent me lots of photos including herself inside one of the homes!! I’m so excited. I hope you wind up selling this model on an ongoing basis, it’s a game changer. I really love it.
It would have more curb appeal if the top loft window was centered over the door and the 3040 was more centered in the low wall beneath the steep roof. On the back, it would look better if the other loft window was centered over the kitchen window...imho. Does the lower bathroom ceiling allow solar in the bathroom over toilet, as usual?
I think id get one without the loft or stairs. I would enjoy the open air feeling. I want to order one but cant right now. I love the 24 feet length of this one.
I would put the bed down under an elevated floor, then fewer steps up into the lofted livingroom with smaller windows. Bathroom with small storage loft at other end and kitchen/dining space. Having to move the unit back to TN if something isn't right makes me nervous. Staff need to watch what's included, my contract didn't have everything. So, I lost my $500 deposit having to cancel my two units. 😢 I truly wanted one for me, one for my 20 year old grandson I raised. 😢
You know if all ex couples were as nice to each other and treated each other with respect like you and Randy, I think they would be a whole lot less tension in the world.
The bedroom is a nice size , because your not going to be living 18 hours in that space , you will be downstairs and out side right. I love it.patricia
Yes Manders! 👍😉That’s what I’ve been thinking about since watching these tiny homes, I’d definitely have to have one of those safety ladders upstairs! By the way, this is such a great deal but when I’m ready I’d have to have a bit more room in the bathroom for a jetted tub, a real fireplace (wood or gas) somewhere in living room with a mantle, and a bit more head room in the loft. I know some are saying that you’re only going to sleep up there, but I like to relax in bed with a book and look out at whatever views up high through the windows. I did notice though not enough space above the entry door to lower the loft. Love the stairs and how it separates the two areas,yet doesn’t look closed off, and the option to have a second loft. I’d probably have to go with a custom with all my preferences lol. Hope Sam continues to get better, prayers up for all of you!😘🙏❤️
Very cute & a great deal for the money :) Re an escape ladder, homeowners could attach a narrow but *very sturdy* ornamental plant trellis to the outside wall to use in an emergency. Plus it would look pretty. (Some TH designers make the bottom 2 stair steps able to roll & tuck away under the main steps. You should consider this as an option. This way LR access/the walk-thru area opens up a bit more.)
Please finish it and let Melanie decorate it. We really should see it before it is for sale. There is too much that we have to envision before we buy. The stairs are still in the experimental stage, the cabinets and toilet is not placed. I’m just saying that a prototype should be finished with the stairs and options before introducing it to the buying public. Just my opinion.
That’s because they are excited. I would love to see this decorated. I slept in a loft about that size, I’m 5’7” for myself it was comfy, I didn’t hit my head, it didn’t feel to small. I love these new houses.
@@PriscillaRencher You are preaching to the choir as to the great deals that ITH gives and, you are right, this is a great deal. I just want to see this great deal prettied up and decorated. That’s all. For what its worth, I am a HUGE fan of ITH and I never miss an episode with Randy, Amanda and Ace.
I got this one, the only thing I wish is that it was a 10' x 24", but I think I will be very happy with this one and for the price you can't beat it. I really appreciate you having one that I could afford with so much space.
I would totally hv giant magnets made for the outside(or inside) with art or flowers to reflect the seasons or even wood panel look. I would nvr get tired of what it looked like and the inside & outside would be easily resaleable by simple removal. ..lol you could print your family pictures for the inside and create a family tree or groupings without needing frames too. Love the metal walls
Is it possible to have the production line egress windows (i know only thw passenger side window comes with the house) to be a couple inches higher up. Once you put a mattress in the loft, it will block the light and airflow as they are so low. This might be better if the loft is dropped as suggested inthee other video. Both would probably be the best option.
Randy's goal is mass production of a tiny home. Hire a designer! It seems the design changes every month. My wife watches every one of your episodes and it frustrates me to see the design change so much. You are trying to build a CHEEP tiny home for production. Evidence by you stating the price over and over. Get a design and stick with it.
He'll learn in time.. The whole company is in a adjustment period. They are always striving to do better. They care not just about the company. But the people they serve. It takes time to get it right. Not disagreeing just my opinion.
I am getting me a couple of floor chairs and small desk you sit under and some floor cushions for upstairs. I was thinking though, it would be great to have a couple of plugs upstairs for lights and plugging in a laptop and phone.
You can make even more room for floor traffic by making the bottom step or 2 to be able to push back and slide under the other stairs. That way you can tuck away those bottom stairs during the day to have more space to walk around and pull them out at night when you're ready for bed, which is really the only time you'll need them out anyways.
I would have a little more pitch on the double dormer. It would help with snow load and keep from bashing your head so often until you learn the hard way?
I agree with everyone else with the loft space. I hope Randy makes it at least to where you can sit up in it with a thin mattress. That would be more beneficial to everyone. Can’t wait to see you when it’s done.
Fantastic. I would be happy to have a wonderful home 🏡 like this. If you people don't like this house then for goodness sake don't look. I love it! It is a miracle🎉. Thank You Randy Amanda and Ace❤. You are great and are ❤ 🙏👌 Incredible💖🙏💖
I'm curious, why didn't you make the shed roof from side to side with a gradual slope, instead front to back. That would have allowed for more height in the loft area as well as adding an add-ibox to the side.
If i have the opportunity to have a tiny house like this, i will do the bedroom in the oposite side and the door to open to the outside... love you guys, kisses to Ace 💕
Decorate it with a bed upstairs and see if it works before building more of them that way. I really don't like the stairs like that. I don't want steps in the middle of my living space. This is just me but I'd be willing to loose a little living room space for a slightly larger kitchen area. Just my thoughts.
I plan to buy one of his tiny homes when I retire and after something else happens (don't want to say, too sad to think about). I love Randy's designs except for some of this one. I'm not crazy about the steps sticking out into the room. I would be tripping over them all the time. And, yes, more head room. I think I'll stick to the bedroom being on the ground floor. Love you both Randy and Amanda. Can't wait to start shopping for a tiny home from ITH.
So just curious, if you put a King mattress up there is it not going to cover the window handle so you cant crank it? It's kind of hard to judge the space size and the window is basically on the floor. Just wondering.
I love this size of home. I think a daybed downstairs would work better. When you were in the loft it didn't look like you would have enough room after you put a mattress there. I think beings your doing a prototype this would be something to think about addressing. Please don't be affected it's just a suggestion. I love ITH and what your doing Randy and Amanda. Randy I was so sorry to hear about Sam. I'm so happy he pulled through. Sending him well wishes from Illinois.
I like how the stairs compartmentalize the home! It defines the kitchen/bathroom area and still has the large living room area downstairs. With the house being made with the ESP panels, it is light weight, lasts forever, and has a very attractive look! Y'all are right! This is the best yet and affordable! This model will put you On The Map, so to speak.
I love how homey this looks. I just need to figure out where I would put my clothes and dog groom supplies. My puppy would love those windows upstairs and they are safe too, so cool. Love Rany's crisp white shirt too, ha. I think I'd get a half fridge and put my clothes above it possibly. I don't use a microwave luckily. Hope his brother continues his healing journey.
I wondered about this as well. I'm not sure the ITH response understands your question. As it is, the double dormer section has exposed screws on this "smooth panel" home. The remedy would require using taller panels for dormer and gable ends, but I have heard no mention of them doing this. So, the only other option is to put lps or wood trim on the exterior horizontal seams where screws are exposed. Perhaps the ITH responder will clarify since your question wasn't answered. Either they put trim or make dormer and gable ends with taller panels to avoid having seam with screws.
Many of you are forgetting that different counties and states have different requirements for headroom for main living spaces, and some additionally have height requirements for lofts in tiny homes. In order the sell these nationwide, ITH and other manufacturers have to err on the side of building to fit the most expansive requirements. In CA, the main living space has to be at least a 6'4 or 6'8 clearance (something like that, I don't have it memorized), and the loft space has to have a 40" clearance. A 43" clearance is generous. And the whole building can't be higher than 13'6". So, there will be compromises in height, because it is dependent upon the height of the trailer and then how one meets building codes up to the height limit.
In this case, it's very straightforward. Overall height, 13'6" for towing purposes. The loft can't be lowered as things are because it's already at the top of the door. Functionally, there's a difference between a loft used for storage and one for sleeping.
I find a microwave needs to be lower, when you are short and you cook something hot, soup it can spill and burn you taking in down above your head. I liked it above the counter, just something to think about.
Not sure what kind of washer/dryer would be best in the spot allocated, but if side by side front loaders fit, then put microwave on one of them. If there is room enough a small shelf above could work.
Randy keeps saying: Loft is only Mattress to Sleep. So No Storage!… Bathroom behind Toilet will have the Solar System So… Mo Storage…. kitchen, Water Heater is under Kitchen Sink so, No Storage! Where do we put the Bathroom stuff? Dishes & Food??? Clothes???
Q: is there any way that the door placement can be switched for the window and the window put where the door is? I would put my eat at counter in the kitchen are just under the window is the placement could be switched.
I absolutely Love your design.❤ I wish I could afford one with the stairs, but unfortunately, I'm on a fixed income. I have my property to put it on, but again, I have no money to buy one. I live in my 25 year old van. It sure would be a nice upgrade. Maybe if you keep making them and if I ever win the lotto, I'll buy one.
I wish you did this esp home special with the woody/luanne layout. It’s the smartest layout you have and I would feel safe with the stairs at the end of the home.
There were LOTS of comments to have the bottom 2 steps able to detach or slide in out of the way
I was one of those people that suggested to have the 2 bottom steps flip up or move to side out of the pathway for walking. I believe that idea is a great one. I’m sure others would agree also.
They could just run the steps straight down the wall with a little landing area over the water heater and give you more walk area. I Iike that idea.
@@Roobah YUP... a good opportunity to create an efficiently produced prototype step with removable or preferably slide in bottom 2 steps...

I like the design but i do think the headroom, even with a thin mattress, would be difficult. Especially for a tall person.
I’m nearly 6’, and son is 6’5”… wish we could get a house here but everything is short..counters are for folks with less height.😢

So thankful Randy, that your brother miraculously has pulled through. God had His hand on him! May He keep it there. ❤
I like the separation of rooms in this. Plus, stairs is desirable over a ladder. I like this one!!
Back to the drawing board guys, there isn't any head space in the loft. Randy's head barely clears w/o a mattress.
It's for sleeping...duck your head! 🤦 Or just put your bed on the floor level and use the loft for storage. Or buy a different model. Or stay where you are and don't buy one 🤷

I was told only 1 egress included in the loft. Now you say 2. They didn't give me a ceiling fan, range hood or cooktop.
You should be getting the ceiling fan. Randy clearly says it is included.
If you can do this 8 x 24 I believe you could and should do the LouAnne house with panels! Let me know when you do, I'd be interested.

Always found it funny that you can buy a dwelling cheaper than a vehicle. I bought a trailer in 2008 for $5000. Bought a used truck for $6500.
So awesome!! Prayers for your brother, Randy! Hugs to you all!!

This house needs to be reconfigure. Stairs are in the way.
What a great place!
You know if all ex couples were as nice to each other and treated each other with respect like you and Randy, I think they would be a whole lot less tension in the world.
There is not one single closet.
I so wish I could pull it together and get out there. Dang great deal, a dream, disabled and alone I need this family ❤

I would do an over the range microwave with s vent hood. Convection oven with an air fryer, 4 appliances in one. And a bit lower than over the fridge.
I dont think there is room over the range for a microwave/hood, just a hood.

I would have a little more pitch on the double dormer. It would help with snow load and keep from bashing your head so often until you learn the hard way?
I think it's great that you have many options to suit people's different needs and preferences.
I agree with everyone else with the loft space. I hope Randy makes it at least to where you can sit up in it with a thin mattress. That would be more beneficial to everyone. Can’t wait to see you when it’s done.
I wish I could get one
Randy…. l LOVE THIS 💝
Fantastic. I would be happy to have a wonderful home 🏡 like this. If you people don't like this house then for goodness sake don't look. I love it! It is a miracle🎉. Thank You Randy Amanda and Ace❤. You are great and are ❤ 🙏👌 Incredible💖🙏💖
I'm curious, why didn't you make the shed roof from side to side with a gradual slope, instead front to back. That would have allowed for more height in the loft area as well as adding an add-ibox to the side.
No way you can put a mattress up there and sit up😂😂😂😂
If i have the opportunity to have a tiny house like this, i will do the bedroom in the oposite side and the door to open to the outside... love you guys, kisses to Ace 💕
Hi, does the cook top and range come with?
Decorate it with a bed upstairs and see if it works before building more of them that way. I really don't like the stairs like that. I don't want steps in the middle of my living space. This is just me but I'd be willing to loose a little living room space for a slightly larger kitchen area. Just my thoughts.
I plan to buy one of his tiny homes when I retire and after something else happens (don't want to say, too sad to think about). I love Randy's designs except for some of this one. I'm not crazy about the steps sticking out into the room. I would be tripping over them all the time. And, yes, more head room. I think I'll stick to the bedroom being on the ground floor. Love you both Randy and Amanda. Can't wait to start shopping for a tiny home from ITH.
I think this is the best design. You should offer this model, always ! Raise the price if you need to, but always have this model available for sale.
So just curious, if you put a King mattress up there is it not going to cover the window handle so you cant crank it? It's kind of hard to judge the space size and the window is basically on the floor. Just wondering.
I keep checking back for another video!
Arizona requires 6' 4" ceilings if you put it on a permanent foundation for those considering a loft on gable end.
Very nice...if the upstairs is for sleeping, it would be nice if a stair or two can be pushed in for more room during the day. Some people will trip.
I would love to decorate this floorplan. I’m obsessed with ESPs. Best bang for your buck.
In my dreams how I wish I could have a house like this.Can't wait to see when it's done
I love this size of home. I think a daybed downstairs would work better. When you were in the loft it didn't look like you would have enough room after you put a mattress there. I think beings your doing a prototype this would be something to think about addressing. Please don't be affected it's just a suggestion. I love ITH and what your doing Randy and Amanda. Randy I was so sorry to hear about Sam. I'm so happy he pulled through. Sending him well wishes from Illinois.
I like how the stairs compartmentalize the home! It defines the kitchen/bathroom area and still has the large living room area downstairs. With the house being made with the ESP panels, it is light weight, lasts forever, and has a very attractive look! Y'all are right! This is the best yet and affordable! This model will put you On The Map, so to speak.
I like the emp protection
I love how homey this looks. I just need to figure out where I would put my clothes and dog groom supplies. My puppy would love those windows upstairs and they are safe too, so cool. Love Rany's crisp white shirt too, ha. I think I'd get a half fridge and put my clothes above it possibly. I don't use a microwave luckily. Hope his brother continues his healing journey.
Could we do a video of the 25 that bought and updates how they decorated and where they parked their homes thx!
Did the weight ever get verified?
Why doesn't Randy move into the house his guys built for him? To respects what they did for him?
Don’t like how the stairs come out into the room. The loft needs to be higher.
Where are the outlets in the loft?
If you don’t get the steps where is the hot water heater? In the closet next to the bathroom?
He said it will be in the same place, in a cabinet next to the combo W/D hook-ups.
End of the kitchen counter
Will you put trim across the seams with screws outside?
These are the new panels and they will not have the screws exposed 😊
I wondered about this as well. I'm not sure the ITH response understands your question. As it is, the double dormer section has exposed screws on this "smooth panel" home. The remedy would require using taller panels for dormer and gable ends, but I have heard no mention of them doing this. So, the only other option is to put lps or wood trim on the exterior horizontal seams where screws are exposed. Perhaps the ITH responder will clarify since your question wasn't answered. Either they put trim or make dormer and gable ends with taller panels to avoid having seam with screws.
Just wondering if you could swing the bottom steps around in front of the window ? Keep the landing, visitors can use the steps to set on.
Much love ITH
Nice home!
I can buy one for $25000 now?❤
A microwave above your head? Could you imagine heating your coffee up and spilling it on yourself?
Thank you explaining everything that you are doing in this, I like the stairs now that there was a good view. 🙂
Many of you are forgetting that different counties and states have different requirements for headroom for main living spaces, and some additionally have height requirements for lofts in tiny homes. In order the sell these nationwide, ITH and other manufacturers have to err on the side of building to fit the most expansive requirements. In CA, the main living space has to be at least a 6'4 or 6'8 clearance (something like that, I don't have it memorized), and the loft space has to have a 40" clearance. A 43" clearance is generous. And the whole building can't be higher than 13'6". So, there will be compromises in height, because it is dependent upon the height of the trailer and then how one meets building codes up to the height limit.
In this case, it's very straightforward. Overall height, 13'6" for towing purposes. The loft can't be lowered as things are because it's already at the top of the door. Functionally, there's a difference between a loft used for storage and one for sleeping.
I find a microwave needs to be lower, when you are short and you cook something hot, soup it can spill and burn you taking in down above your head. I liked it above the counter, just something to think about.
Wish I had the money.... What a, colossal opportunity
Not sure what kind of washer/dryer would be best in the spot allocated, but if side by side front loaders fit, then put microwave on one of them. If there is room enough a small shelf above could work.
If the Solar System is in Cabinet behind Toilet, Can You still put the Tankless in same Cabinet?
Good question, let me find out
Randy just said, under the stairs
So, if you get the stairs, there are no drawers in the kitchen? I agree with many that a microwave above the fridge is a bad idea.
Can the Front;Door be moved toward living room 2 feet to be able to have a tall cabinet for food and Storage?
Goodmorning! Yes a full home!!! Would love to know the weight!
Absolutely, finding that out now 😉
I would like the weight as well please.
Randy keeps saying: Loft is only Mattress to Sleep. So No Storage!… Bathroom behind Toilet will have the Solar System So… Mo Storage…. kitchen, Water Heater is under Kitchen Sink so, No Storage! Where do we put the Bathroom stuff? Dishes & Food??? Clothes???
Q: is there any way that the door placement can be switched for the window and the window put where the door is? I would put my eat at counter in the kitchen are just under the window is the placement could be switched.
I absolutely Love your design.❤ I wish I could afford one with the stairs, but unfortunately, I'm on a fixed income. I have my property to put it on, but again, I have no money to buy one. I live in my 25 year old van. It sure would be a nice upgrade. Maybe if you keep making them and if I ever win the lotto, I'll buy one.
Well done Randy 👍
Great home Great prices 8by24 Hello Randy Amanda and ACE.🧸 of Knoxville Tennessee.
I wish you did this esp home special with the woody/luanne layout. It’s the smartest layout you have and I would feel safe with the stairs at the end of the home.
