Ep 7. After Surviving Cancer, Kristi and Her Husband Rafael Are Going Tiny to Enjoy More Out of Life

After surviving cancer, Kristi and her husband Rafael are looking for a way to fully experience life and make the most out of every moment. They've decided that downsizing to a tiny house is just what they need to achieve their dreams.

In this episode of Tiny House Hunters, we follow Kristi and Rafael as they search for the perfect tiny home. They are looking for a space that is both functional and comfortable, with enough room to accommodate their needs as a couple, but not so large that it becomes overwhelming. With a budget of $80,000, they are hoping to find a tiny house that will allow them to enjoy life to the fullest.

The couple has a few must-haves on their list, including a full kitchen, a sizeable bathroom, and a comfortable sleeping area. They are also looking for a space that has plenty of storage solutions, as they don't want to give up their hobbies and interests just because they're moving into a tiny house. Kristi is an avid quilter and Rafael is a dedicated outdoor enthusiast, so they want to make sure their new home is designed to accommodate their passions.

The first tiny house they tour is a 300-square-foot home on wheels that features a cozy living area, a lofted sleeping space, and a full kitchen. The house is designed with lots of storage solutions, including a built-in bookshelf and a staircase with hidden drawers. While the couple is impressed with the smart design features, they realize that the lofted sleeping space might be challenging for Rafael, who has some mobility issues.

The second tiny house they view is a 400-square-foot home with a more open floor plan. The house features a large kitchen with full-sized appliances and a generous living space with a comfortable sofa and a fold-down dining table. The bedroom area is separated from the living area by a wall and features a queen-sized bed and plenty of storage. While Kristi and Rafael love the layout of the home, they are concerned that the $85,000 price tag is over their budget.

The final tiny house they view is a 350-square-foot home that is designed with sustainability in mind. The house features a solar panel system, a composting toilet, and a smart storage system that maximizes every inch of space. The home's materials were chosen with eco-friendliness in mind, and the house even features a small vegetable garden off the front porch. While the cost of the house is on budget at $78,000, they are concerned that the home's unique features might make it more challenging to resell in the future.

After touring the homes and weighing their options, Kristi and Rafael make a decision that will allow them to live their dream life in a tiny house that meets all their needs. Tune in to this episode of Tiny House Hunters to see which home they choose and how they create a functional and cozy space that allows them to truly enjoy every moment of their lives.
