As a new episode of Tiny House Hunters' season 3, episode 9 named "Free to Be Tiny" airs, viewers get to witness the journey of a young couple, Daniel and Vanessa, who are looking for a tiny house to reduce their carbon footprint and live a minimalistic lifestyle. This episode is centered around their search for an environmental-friendly and economical tiny house that can cater to their needs.
Since the couple is located in the heart of Portland, Oregon, a city that is known for its eco-friendly culture, they are determined to find a house that can follow suit. So, they hire a couple of real estate agents to help them with their search.
The couple's first priority is to find a tiny house with a yard so that they can try their hands at organic gardening, composting, and raised beds. The real estate agent takes them to a 300 square feet house that has a spacious yard, sidewalks, and shaded trees. The couple is excited about the potential of having their own organic garden but the house's price tag is too steep for their budget.
The next house they check out is a 240 square feet tiny house that is entirely off the grid. The house runs on solar, has a composting toilet, and a shower that is hooked up to a nearby stream. Although the idea of living an off the grid lifestyle sounds appealing to them, the couple is not ready to give up their creature comforts such as a regular flushing toilet. Hence, they decide to pass on the house.
Another house they checked out was a 200 square feet tiny house that is located on the outskirts of Portland. The house was built with recycled materials and has a modern design with floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide plenty of natural light. Although the price tag was steep for their budget, the couple loved the idea of owning a tiny house that is both modern and eco-friendly.
Finally, they found a 250 square feet tiny house built with sustainable bamboo and non-toxic materials. The house was built on a trailer, which meant they could take it anywhere they want. Moreover, it featured a spacious kitchen and dining area, along with a separate bedroom and bathroom. The couple loved the idea of being able to move their house wherever they want and they also appreciated the eco-friendly features of the house.
Ultimately, the couple decided to purchase the bamboo tiny house. They were thrilled with the idea of owning a house that is eco-friendly, economical, and meets their needs. This house allows them to live a simple and minimalistic lifestyle while being mindful of their carbon footprint.
Overall, Tiny House Hunters season 3 episode 9 provides an insightful glimpse into the challenges and advantages of living in a tiny house. It showcases how living a simple and sustainable life can not only reduce your carbon footprint but also helps you save money and increase your quality of life.
