  • The volume on this video is pretty low...

  • I agree with you, br33zin. A roof skylight could be kicked out and a person saved. The architectural window in Jay's loft--not so much. Have a wonderful holiday.

  • @coolkayaker1 I couldn't agree more but this could be altered. By putting in a skylight you could offer yourself a larger exit. Although it would be to the roof a jump from there instead of being killed would of course be better...In my opinion at least

  • I have a 6th, and one extremely crucial. Fire egress. In the loft out the window--but window too small. Out the kitchen out the window--but window might be too small. The most likely place for fire is main floor, and a homeowner would be trapped in the loft and killed (or suffocated by the smoke). Small spaces, heaters, propane, candles, etc. Every time I see Jay's home, esp the loft, I cringe at the lack of emergency egress.

  • How hard would it be to install solar panels? Then, you're really off the grid, or at least edging close.

  • Thanks for posting this! I've been chewing on the idea of getting a Tumbleweed for some time now, and I'm excited to have such a thorough review of improvement suggestions.

  • check out this guys website, its ace! Lots of excellent related videos and great ideas. Thanks

  • Good ideas but delivery is really poor!

  • @bessiewapp

    I have a "tankless" or "on-demand" hot water unit and it takes up to 10 seconds to get hot, no way over a minute. My gas and water bill are lower and that' matters a lot, as well as it taking up less space.

  • @DevilsAdvocateism I have to admit, radiant floor heating was the one idea offered in the vid that I kind of scratched my head on.

    Seemed like 'overkill', and not keeping in line with the philosophy behind having a tiny house to begin with.

    However, maybe it's cheaper/simpler to install than is commonly realized.
