I am Martha’s neighbor, I’m in a hobbit house across the way. I’m the one who nicknamed her house the death star, and was so glad to find out she was a true star wars fan! 😊 She’s thinking of putting a sign over the front door that says, “that’s no moon!” 💕
lol have we seen an inside tour of your house yet?? we may have to get Amanda on that if not...i want to see it..
Love it
What fun! You live in the polar opposite style of house, yet the people inside each one have so much in common. Lucky you to live in that great community.
Hi EJ, I've heard your name mentioned by Randy and Amanda in several videos but didn't know that you own the hobbit house. It's so cute and I'm sure it is beautiful on the inside. Hope you all continue to be blessed.
@Starr R. Stoddard I keep trying to reply but YT won't let me
She is uplifting. And Randy has made it possible with these communities. Smart business-wise ad smart for homeowners.
Her place is 320 square feet and I think she said it was less than $60,000. Where I live houses with as little as 800 square feet would cost a minimum of $500,000. The property prices go up from there! Those who say that these are too expensive must be using different math. I live in a rare mobile home park in Massachusetts and my lot rent is $821 a month. It covers water/sewer, tash, and snow plowing. If I wanted to rent an apartment the size of my trailer, it would cost $2500-$3000 a month and often won't include utilities.
Containers make great tiny homes. Very durable.
Thank you so much for showing u home to us , I am a single , my daughter finished her college n has a good job , I am 64 years old. Been looking at the tiny house for long time , but not think close where I live , I will be retiring next year , I have to looking for a place that I can afford to live in my retirement thank you so much . Lilly Li
I like the commumity & the trees. And I agree with her not wanting to sleep in a loft. And I really like the dark color
Randy Jones has a heart to help others, love the guy, a lot.
This is great for one or two. And if on one level, for people over 70.
My house is so small about 1200 square feet and the kitchen, living room and bathrooms are so small i can't imagine living in a tighter space with 2 kids but looks so nice
Yeah, design has a lot to do with it... Tiny Houses make use of every square inch versus how large houses are built that it's nice if they even make use of every square feet... It's also why most are having their tiny house custom built as then it's optimized for them with no wasted spaces they don't need.
Randy is a very smart guy to create these communities... And as a single person, I would love to live where I knew most of my neighbors (if not all) and we visited with each other. That's such a healthy environment. And she has everything she needs in that space! An queen sized bed, a full shower, a washer and dryer, a good sized oven and fridge, and lots of light -- and did you see all that wood? What a gorgeous interior. My heating bill for the 4-bedroom apartment I live in is $300 a month in the winter. I'd love to have a $30 a month bill. Her rent is reasonable, too. I envy her.
I've lived in apartments my entire adult life and I NEVER knew any of my neighbors. Still don't. It's sad. I sure do miss the sense of community. Plus rents are getting so flipping expensive!!! I want a slot in the Mountain!
Hello 👋, how are you doing?
Follow your dream. Don't admire what someone else has done or is doing. Get up and do it. All it takes is money and if you're working full time make a plan and carry it out. You only have one life. Live it.
My electric bill is the same for a 2 bedroom apartment.
loving your home 🏠
She’s so neat! No clutter! Love it! John 3:16❤️
I would live in that home and in that community in a heartbeat!
Hello late , how are you doing?
Me 2
Yes seems so peaceful
@Mantelar And...?
@@misstati-tatianna1627 it's just a front, it's not that peaceful
Martha, you look so happy, and that is what matters the most.
Martha, I just love the Death Star even though I'm a Star Trek fan. I would like to see a follow up video on the permanent location and the deck installed. Enjoy, salud!
Gracias
I did not get tired to see the beautiful Martha"s Container
Thanks for featuring Randy on your show he deserves it
Thanks for featuring Randy on your show he deserves it by the way everybody soon as he reaches 100,000 prescribers he's going to give a house away so be here and sign up
Martha, the 'Death Star' is stunning! It's so warm and elegant inside, which more than makes up for the rather stark (and very handsome) exterior. Thanks so much for sharing it with us, and for encouraging Jenna to feature Randy and his business as well. One thing I'm remarking as I watch is the number of single women in the development - that speaks volumes for the sense of security and community you find there, which will only increase as you all settle in. I wish you a long and happy life there ❤❤❤
Thank you, you are so right. We feel very safe here
Hi Martha,, I'll be a neighbor eventually, my lot is 281 in the Prairie. Looking forward to meeting you 😀
WOW What a Cozy Tiny!!!! Martha I am So Happy Your Dream came TRUE. BLESSINGS to YOU and ALL Your Neighbors. Much Love Lay Chaplain Kelly Chase 😊😊🌞☺️🌞
What he has done, was HELP human beings live..not just live to work. Beautiful
Love this sweet lady!
Martha is so cool. I love her personal style! The fit of her clothes, her hair, glasses, and the house! She is coolness personified,
Her smile is so genuine!
Just rewatched this video after seeing an updated one on Martha’s beautiful home. She has added and changed some things and it even looks prettier. She also decided to keep her home in this same area bc she loves her neighbors so much! How wonderful for her!
I would love to see a video about Martha again once she gets her deck done. Her choice of TH looks absolutely perfect for those of us who don’t wanna deal with stairs in our retirement years. Also she has everything in there washer dryer oven beautiful farm sink good size bathroom and bedroom and living room it’s just absolutely wonderful. By the way Randy has put 4 houses out on the prairie now so the prairie is available
I totally agree about not wanting to sleep in a loft -- it's great to see a beautiful tiny home without one.
Yes ! Let's see more of these !
I love how she has the pantry armoire in the kitchen and the armoire with glass panels in the laundry area. This is a beautiful tiny home!!
This is one of my favorites!!! I love it. 💛
I agree! I especially adored the one in the laundry area.
I like the fact that she has a oven and stove!😊
At ITH, there are a number of theme oriented houses reflecting the character and interest of that individual. My soon to be completed tiny (10 by 30) will likely be nicknamed Tiny Tinsel Town, to commentate my staggering collection of classic Hollywood films (total surround sound, of course!). This will enable ITH neighbors to gather to share a fun experience together! Numerous opportunities for our residents to develop friendships!
I've noticed that David and your plan sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure your neighbors will love it!
@@Swim136 I’m getting my new esp home (stuccoed outside with Indigo Blue) very similar color to Martha’s home. Since once I’m living solo I plan to operate it Hostel style (any paying customer has to tolerate my sleeping above in my loft while they get a closed off bedroom on main level). UT Orange would possibly deter guests who don’t share my passion for my school! (Poor lost souls!) But if I had a container home, you bet it would be bright Tennessee Orange!!
I also watch Randy Jones at Incredible Tiny Homes ! I love watching Randy and Amanda !
Lovely house for a lovely person in a sweet community developed by an innovator. Win...win...win...and win.
HER HOME IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Randy is the most honest man in the business. The people @ ITH are all so wonderful, helpful, & you can not find a better deal on the homes they build. If you want or need a tiny, Randy & the ITH FAMILY will help you get a tiny @ an affordable price. After you get your tiny from them they will stand behind there work & not blow you off. Your family for life! Chris from Missouri
My gosh Martha is beautiful!!! And her accent too. She could be in radio with that storytelling voice. Beautiful beautiful home. Thanks
I think Randy should make a Middle area between all of the sections where everyone can meet. Like a walking park. There could be a small grocery store, boutique, small drug store, an old fashion dinner/malt shop, A theater for entertainment. Use for all kinds of community plays, music, movies, Post office, etc. All these business could be run by the folks in the community. What do you all say to that idea? All in the center of the community.
Love the idea of the community supporting small biz. Might want to email them I don't think they monitor video comments.
You evidently haven’t watched his channel. They already have a walking trail that wraps around the entire 3 Communities. It’s so beautiful. They have 2 ponds on the Property. They have just started the roads fir The Mountain which is across the road from the 3 Communities he just completed. In fact, he just said they plan a Covered Bridge to one of the Ponds. There are so many things he has on the Drawing Board. Of course he plans to build a Community Building. The neatest is one of the residents planted grapes for wine and they are already producing. Fruit tress have been planted too. Randy plowed garden plots last spring for veggie gardens. Watch the channel and all the golf carts running around. Most of all Ace the resident side kick to Randy. We literally have watched the building of high roofs with guys dangling etc. Kinda exciting and we get to watch them actually build Tiny Homes.
@@Swim136 Yes, and they also had plans for allowing the community to set up little shops in a central area, run by people in the community. Just been a long time since that was discussed because of the lock down, etc. of the last 2 years...
@@Swim136 Yes I have have watched the channel. Please do not assume my interest, and knowledge regarding Randy's 43 acres he purchased. I am very sure the walking path is nice. I heard about the community garden too. These were some ideas. You can always have another walking path to the center where a pavilion & benches could be located. So quick to judge others. What a shame. Have a nice New 2022 Year. 😊
@@ZeoCyberG No time like now to begin those projects. Gives everyone a sense of community and hope for the future. It see community come together during difficult times.😇
This home is stunningly beautiful, truly dazzling. There should be a cover charge merely to enter! You’ll never be a complainer if you live in this container! Good gracious, it’s spacious! Great to be her neighbor. May be the Force be with you, Martha!
Hi David, I watched the video of your lovely home, I hope we get to see your new one later on. Thank you for sharing, hope you're having a great day.☺
@@mariperez9925 Thank you Mari. Safe bet that our future newer tiny will be likely featured by ITH. Hardly seems like over six months ago Randy filmed it (it was for sale)
Hello from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 I love this tiny house 🏡 This lady is so nice👍
wonderful... I visited Martha, her being a friend...I was amazed at how much room there was..
I so much admire what Randy is doing, his enthusiasm and love for building these communities is super inspiring. I cannot wait for the day I can live exactly this way in Australia. Martha's container layout is gorgeous - everything you could possibly need and more. Thanks again Jenna for another perfect video.
Agreed, wish we had options like this in Canada.
Yes, her home is lovely! That pantry - fabulous!
I have been watching ITH video's for about 2 months at night.I plan on retiring there...hopefully soon.Love her home
it's great. I would have put the bathroom at the very end so you don't have to walk through the bathroom to get to the bedroom, but if you have company and you don't want them to walk through your bedroom to get to the bathroom, then it makes sense. What a nice lady.
Of all the Tiny homes I've seen somehow I really do like the Shipping Container Home. To me the metal would be so much more stable, sturdy & endure moving. And I love love love the idea that she has left the original doors up, and once it's completely set up on the mountain, that the deck will go between the doors. I can envision that!! What a brilliant idea!! It will also give somewhat a bit of privacy! The best overall idea I have seen. 💕
I love that this channel is inclusive of everyone, unlike some other channels. Her home is beautiful! ❤️
I have been watching Incredible Tiny Homes, for the lat two days, as they have opened the third section up. It is known as the Prairie. It is so exciting. Next will be the Mountain, but first is the new factory, for building more tiny homes!!!
Glad to hear that! If I buy a tiny home, I think it will be one of Randy's!
I’d love to hear what you think of the tiny homes we tour.
@@Godwinpounds4333 please look elsewhere for female companionship.
Randy is a legend. I can't believe that I've only just stumbled upon his channel
That’s starting to Dawn on others too!
I wonder why people must “convince” their families? I don’t understand really. If my loved one told me they were buying a tiny house I would be so happy and excited for them. I long to downsize and simplify my life. I don’t think I could actually go completely tiny but a whole lot smaller - definitely. I am really fascinated with the lifestyle and simplifying - but whoever feels that this is perfect for them I support wholeheartedly. I think it is a wonderful alternative for young people, retired people and others to get out of the rent trap, live with just what you love and need and have more time, energy, and money to do what you love in life.
There's still people with misconceptions of what a tiny house is, like there's still those who cling to the stigma of trailer trash homes, for example. Some also just don't understand the appeal or may be among the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) crowd that think anything different is going to bring down property values or bring bad neighbors, etc. Many are also still clinging to the old beliefs that home should appreciate, be treated as investments, bigger is better, etc. and haven't learned the lessons from the housing bubble crash or understand how the housing system is a broken and failing system that's only going to continue to get worse unless something major changes... It takes time but eventually, more and more people will understand...
@@ZeoCyberG These are excellent insights which help me understand better. I couldn’t agree more that our housing system is broken. There are far too few affordable housing options and people pay much too large a percentage of their income for housing. I have wondered if the reason why tiny houses are not legal in some areas is due to the loss in property tax income for the city. What a shame though.
@@Moerocha62 Well, the good news is it's slowly turning around... Over 14 states have adopted Appendix Q, basically adding Tiny Houses to their building codes to at least make it possible to have one on a foundation, albeit there may be other obstacles to get around first... Tiny Houses are becoming a popular option for ADU's, even being allowed where other alternatives like RV's won't be allowed... There's continuing to be new developments like this community that specifically creates places for tiny houses. Though, most continue to be rental spaces and are zoned like RV parks, but there are a growing number where people can actually purchase the lot and have the home recognized as a residence and even be issued a certificate of occupancy... Helps that the housing problems are becoming undeniable to even the most resistant and public opinion has steadily shifted in favor of alternative options, providing increasing pressure to legislatures to make the changes to the laws. There's just still a long road ahead and change is slow as often such changes happen over years and even decades but it's happening and we can look at communities like this one for real results of that progress...
@@ZeoCyberG Yes that is good news. I would bet that these city counsels and other officials aren’t unlike other elected officials - affected by the monied interests. I think that public opinion is the key to some of this change as well. I live in a development above a golf course which we recently fought hard to prevent from being redeveloped. The owners wanted to build hundreds of homes & condos on it. It took years of organizing and appealing to the city to prevent it - but we finally won. It is still a golf course! So little green space is still around so we are thrilled.
A container home is perfect for someone working for FEMA. It’s practically all-weather proof! 👋 Hi Martha, from DC.
ITH is a beautiful community, just watch their videos.
ITH is the best builder. Hands down.
Love this ladies home and I love her hair, it's so beautiful.
Listening to Martha tell her story was so heart warming. I'm happy you found a home and a community.
I will love to know more about you and get to know each other as new friends, I hope you don't mind?
I love Randy from Incredible Tiny Homes. He has a great channel of the tiny homes he builds.
I call the color of this home charcoal. I love this tiny home. One level and beautiful.
This applies to tiny homes, O.T.G. and wheeled residences... The wisdom of simplicity. The luxury of efficiency.
Jenna, what a fabulous job that you and Martha did on this video. Martha’s story is wonderful and is where many of us are beginning our tiny house journey. Thank you Jenna and Martha!!
Hello, I would like to join a community, how to connect with Randy?
What a beautiful lovely lady who has brought so much to our community!!
Especially homemade lemon cake but just one was insufficient for gathering of six!!
This might be my favorite one so far. I love the log cabin look of the inside (I'd really like to know what oven that is). I also love the concept of forest, mountain, beach, prairie. And that he's charging a reasonable rent, when so many tiny home community owners are ripping people off. And, of course, I would love to be Martha's neighbor and friend. 😊
Thank you
A lovely lady with such an infectious smile………. Marvellous!!
A tiny home is in my future. The container home is definitely not out of the question and Randy's prices are very reasonable. thank you for sharing . I can't wait!
I'm considering a tiny home in the future, and I like the idea of using a shipping container. They're sturdy, a nice size, and my arthritic knees need everything on one level, no ladders or steep stairs.
@@rowanaforrest9792 After seeing this one, I think I agree with you. The only thing I would add is a tiny real fireplace/heater. The builder is someone I'm going to look into when the time comes. His prices seem reasonable and their work is nice.
@@Vashti0825 Oh yes, a real fireplace is a must, or I'd rather have a small pellet/wood stove with a flat top that I could do simple cooking on in case of a complete power outage. (Heating water or making soup, rice, or oatmeal.)
I've seen too many tiny houses that were unpractical but this one is great! Very livable and beautiful!
Nice looking home and a nice looking woman .That is all any single person needs .It has all the necessity and very well laid out .Women know how to dress up a home so as to make it cozy and practical. Great job 👏 Congrats
She looks healthy and happy. Well done.
I like the cozy cabin feel. I can see why she wants to move to the Mountain section because it will be a good fit. :D
Randy and Incredible Tiny Homes are revolutionizing the industry. Love them to pieces. Someday maybe I will be able to realize my dream of being a part of their community.
Randy is a awesome guy, I have talked to him at the factory.
Hello Janet how are you doing!!
@@larrybill2661 I am doing ok. Thank you for asking. Hope all is well with you as well.
@@janetclarkallthingsspiritual It my pleasure having you as a friend and where are you from?
@@larrybill2661 I am in the New England area.
What a Blessing, Home, Friends, RANDY, and STAFF.
I bet in the summer it’s gorgeous with the leaves on the trees giving the homes some shade and luscious woods to look at.
Nice warm and cozy home. I really like how she made it hers
Absolutely stunning. Randy is quite the mover and shaker of the tiny community.
THIS IS SO PEACEFUL AWAY FROM LOUD NOISES ALSO I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN AN AREA LIKE THIS ! GREAT JOB ON THE BUILD..
This lady has made this a real homely home....it's beautiful
Martha, I watched the video of the move of your home onto it's lot in the Forest several months ago, and loved the layout then. Now that you've decorated it, I love it even more! Like you, I'm going to take the plunge. I have some more repairs to do on my small house in Oregon, and then I'll be selling it and coming to Newport to buy an ITH tiny and live on the ITH Mountain. Can't wait! Thanks for the tour. ❤️
320 square feet is plenty of space for a single. On paper I've figured out something similar, 10 X 32, and it has room for everything. I'd add a deck beyond the sliding doors, and it could be screened in during the summer.
What a beautiful Lady and a beautiful home! It is so warm and welcoming.I love the sense of community that Randy created for everyone to live and enjoy their lives to the fullest! I live in a very small house, which I love,but there is no community and it gets lonely...
This is awesome! I just sold my house and plan on buying land out west. Something like this is exactly what I need to go along with a barn, covered parking, small farm and an above grounds pool!!
Thank you Martha for reaching out to Tiny House Giant Journey! I've been watching Randy, Amanda and ITH for the last six months and I absolutely LOVE THEM! Your home is beautiful!! And also like the name of your container "Death Star". I can't wait to purchase a Tiny Home from Randy and live in his community. 😘💖💖
You would love it
OK, so that tall pencil Christmas tree is THE sweetest thing I have seen in a tiny house. If you have room for a Christmas tree then you have room for anything. Your home is spectacular and I hope you are blessed with many, many years of happiness in it.
Thank you
It would help so much if our state would adopt this type of community " tiny house " so those who should be retired can be. Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii byways of Waikiki
Hi from Syracuse NY my friend and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures
This Container Home is so beautiful. Randy is a super, super guy. I watch a lot of his **ITH**videos. He is a great builder and has gone through some tough times. But he never gave up. Thank you for sharing this video. Loved it. God Bless.
Hello Betty how are you doing!!
@@larrybill2661 please look elsewhere for female companionship.
I agree with all you say about Randy. I live in U.K., I'm English. He is great and his homes are wonderful and his enthusiasm is catching. I am only able to dream. Good luck in your beautiful home. 🇬🇧👌🤗😀🤗
Living on a fixed income. How could I even start the idea of living in a tiny home? I live in a boarding house where my rent is two-thirds of my check. The rest goes to bills and whatever food I can afford for the month. I would love to live in a tiny home since it's only me. No family, so Holidays will be like every other day. Only one person there. I love your designs. Keep up the good work.
Thank You Jenna, Martha & Randy Jones at Incredible Tiny Homes ! I've been following Tiny House Giant & ITH's for a long time and I am so excited that You are showing Randy's Dream XOXO
You have homes on a completely different level of tiny homes GREAT JOB I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND THE HOMES I SEE ON YOUR CHANNEL AS WELL
What I love is that you have option to move your home. HUD mobile home communities really TRAP owners. Many have horrible landscape, poor management and once the owner pays off the house the owner cannot afford to move the home out of the park. I love that Randy is thinking of the owners. If you must live in close proximity GIVE your owners something besides another “trailer” to stare at. Love this!
My only issue is, I’ve watched Missing 411 so the forest makes me uneasy. I love the idea of a tiny house community though.
I wish somebody would do this here in England it would give everyone a chance to own a home
UK needs major reform of land ownership and development planning. For example, half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population. If the land were distributed evenly across England’s population, each person would have just over half an acre - an area roughly half the size of Parliament Square in central London. So there's actually enough land for everyone, just won't work with the present system managing it... While getting permission to develop a property can take so long, up to multiple years, that it puts high pressure to turn that property into a profitable one and that unfortunately makes it extremely hard for anyone to develop affordable housing, especially with so few actually owning the land, placing a lot of the control into special interests that don't have everyone's interest as a priority... Among other things they're messing up in the UK...
Hello Charlotte how are you doing!!
I want to be able to live in one in Philly! I doubt that it would be allowed in the city because of safety purposes first of all and secondly seemingly there would be political officials who would have so much to say about them and so much is all about money in Philly ... But we need more affordable housing badly because there's so much homelessness AND regentrification has taken over so much of the city! I would LOVE a tiny home of my own in a safe environment perhaps outside of Philly!
@@larrybill2661 please look elsewhere for female companionship.
Such a beautiful, cozy and elegant home. x
Martha's Container home is beautifully decorated. I would love to see more Container homes decorated as to how they worked around the width area being less than 8ft is challenging.
How idyllic, as we grow older lots of us yearn for peace and tranquillity. Love,y lady and a lovely looking community. Regards from England
Martha I love your container home!!! It has the most perfect layout! Congratulations 🎉
Thank you
I’m so happy that you are featuring Randy and his Incredible Tiny Homes community for the second time. I have followed Randy for years and have always wondered why he doesn’t seem to get any recognition within the Tiny house community. I LOVE his work and would feel so blessed to own one of his Incredible Tiny Homes, someday. So, thank you, Jenna, for giving him the recognition (I feel) he deserves.
Lovely, what a wonderful way to live.
Hello 👋, how are you doing?
@@Godwinpounds4333 please look elsewhere for female companionship.
I wish Ontario, Canada would have more of these. We have a huge housing crisis right now across our country and it’s just getting worse. These type of communities would help!
What a wonderful area to live! I lived in Morristown for awhile and it was my favorite place I’ve ever lived!! The home is beautiful 😍
Loooove that you built doors and kept originals! Can close it up on cold nights! Call it the love star! Daniel 4:27, 12:3 😁
I love love Randy n his dream of his tiny home community ❣️❣️
Congratulations you have a beautiful place and is not finished yet. Blessings to all of you Tiny Homes Community!!!
I love the warm simplicity of it, my kind of tiny house.
Martha's tiny home is so well-designed. And that tiny home community--WOW! I hope that we continue to see more and more of these communities showing up all over the world!
Love it how get in touch with randy
I want to live there just to hang out with Martha. She's adorable.
So now shipping containers are wonderful homes. I WAS CONSIDERED TRASH when I lived in a double wide. And I had a full basement, brick, windows and garage doors.
This was the most endearing video yet!!!!!!!! I’ve been watching Randy’s channel forever as I have yours. I think yours was one of the VERY first channels I found years ago when you first started. Karen Florida
