He has a viral videoTikTok user Jeff (@hittaa_jeff) showed subscribers his new house.

He explained that the prefab house that arrived that morning was assembled quickly and easily.

According to Jeff, it took five Amazon employees 27 minutes to install the house.

The TikToker also revealed that the Amazon specialist he spoke with provided him with two couches for seating.

In addition to helping him get started on the furniture, the worker also gave Jeff an “upgrade” to the house.

He said she changed the color and increased the area to make the space “much bigger”.

Before giving a tour of the interior, he paid attention to the plumbing on the outside of the house and the glass doors.

Inside, Jeff showed his listeners the kitchen and living room, including two free couches.

He also gave viewers a peek inside his future bathroom and bedroom.

However, he revealed that not all aspects of the tiny house were perfect.

A TikToker pointed out a decor item he disliked in the bathroom.

“I like the bathroom, but I don’t like that it’s all plastic, fake marble,” he explained.

Jeff also pointed out a major design challenge when it comes to his budget home.

The ceilings are very low, I’m not going to lie, I’m 5’8, so they’re not very high, they’re very low,” he said.

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the tiny house in the comments section.

Tiny houses. Frequently asked questions

The tiny house movement started in the US before gaining popularity in the UK.

What is a tiny house?

Tiny houses are small, fully equipped living spaces designed for a greener lifestyle. Although they vary in size and shape, tiny houses typically range in size from 15 to 50 square meters, are made of sustainable materials, and are easier—and cheaper—to maintain than traditional brick homes.

Are tiny houses legal in the UK?

If a tiny house does not exceed 19.8 x 6.7m in size, it is considered a caravan under UK law. Therefore, tiny houses are classified as legal additional living space.

Can you get a mortgage on a tiny house?

The small size and relatively low cost of tiny houses means that they are not usually considered eligible for a mortgage. However, there are many loan options available to finance your dreams of the perfect mobile home.
