"we just haven't really felt the pinch. i've been recording our journey in the tiny house on our youtube channel. we have the kitchen area, and then towards the front of the house – our bathroom in there. and then at the other end of the house, we have our living space. up the stairs, or ladder, should i say, you arrive at our main bedroom. watch your head because there's not much headroom up here. people are interested in living in a tiny house and what that entails."
大卫·韦斯特伍德
“我们没有感到生活很拮据。我一直在通过我们的 youtube 频道记录我俩在迷你住宅里的生活点滴。这里是厨房区域，房子前面是浴室。在迷你住宅的另一头是我们的生活空间。沿着梯子上去，就到了主卧。小心碰头，因为头顶上方的空间不大。网友们对住在迷你住宅里的体验很感兴趣。”
