Bonus Love: My Youtube Tiny House Fandom
As you can tell, I spend a lot of time on Youtube as I lie in bed, tired or in pain or both. I've killed quite some time watching snake eggs hatch or an ADHD host from Detroit making a reptarium with his family, a Filipino-Canadian ant guy who was a singer on a reality show raise a parrot, or another family build their homestead building by building by hand.
Of course, the Living Big in a Tiny House channel, and the host Bryce Langston, are my all-time favorites. He's had his own tiny homes, and you can see a video of his current house, which he lives and works in. He's so positive, and he's had good videographers, so there is a high quality to the tours.

But the company building company I love to watch the most is Minimaliste, and while I like the clean, modern look of their homes inside and out, it's because of the charm of the co-owner and CEO, Phil. There are in jokes, like Phil's weird French-Canadian pronunciation in English of some words (like cedar). And he's so earnest and charming, unscripted and real. They are musicians, so there's some little bits of their personal life as they show off their models.
This video is a good example. It's a high-end, custom job for a client who will live full-time in it. But the Quebec-based company also does some bare bones models. They build for a cold climate. This particular tiny has radiant floor heating--I'm so jealous. In this tour, Phil shares the limelight with the co-owner and builder, JP.
