Ep 11. Going Tiny Family Style In Omaha

In Season 5 of Tiny House Hunting, Episode 11, we meet a family from Omaha, Nebraska who is looking to downsize and go tiny. With a budget of $50,000 and a desire for eco-friendly and sustainable living, the family has enlisted the help of real estate agent Kelly, who has experience in finding tiny home options for families.

The episode opens with Kelly meeting the family at their current home, a spacious three-bedroom house that has become too large for the family of four. The parents, Kerri and Andrew, explain that they want to simplify their lives and reduce their carbon footprint by downsizing. They are also looking forward to spending more quality time together as a family.

Kelly takes the family on a tour of several tiny home options in the Omaha area. The first home they tour is a cozy 180-square-foot tiny home that is built on a trailer. The home has a small kitchen, a loft bedroom, and a composting toilet. While the family loves the idea of a smaller home, they worry that this particular option may be too small for their needs.

The next home they tour is a 350-square-foot tiny home on a foundation. The home has a large master bedroom, a spacious living area, and a full-sized kitchen. The family is impressed with the amount of space and the fact that the home is built with sustainable materials. However, they are concerned about the home's location, which is far from their children's school and Kerri's job.

Kelly then takes the family to view a 400-square-foot tiny home that is newer and more upscale than the previous options. The home has a large kitchen with high-end appliances, a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and a loft area that can be used as a second bedroom or office space. The family loves the home's modern and sleek design but is concerned about the high cost.

Finally, Kelly takes the family to tour a 500-square-foot house that is specifically designed for families. The home has a large master bedroom, a second bedroom for the children, and a spacious living area. There is also a full-sized kitchen and a bathroom with a bathtub, which the family is excited about. The home is also located in a great neighborhood and is close to the children's school and Kerri's job.

After touring all the options, the family must decide which tiny home is best for them. They discuss the pros and cons of each home and ultimately decide to go with the 500-square-foot family home. The home has the space they need, is eco-friendly and sustainable, and is located in a great neighborhood. The family is excited about their new life in a smaller home and looks forward to spending more time together as a family.

Overall, Going Tiny Family Style In Omaha is an inspiring episode that showcases the benefits of downsizing and living sustainably. The show also highlights the challenges of finding the right tiny home option for families and offers real-life solutions. Anyone interested in tiny homes, sustainable living, and simplifying their lives will enjoy this episode.
