| Tiny House, Big Living |
I find that I've said "I don't know why I waited so long" in my reviews on more than one occasion. This is another occasion. I have purchased my very first television show from Amazon and I'm thrilled I did. I purchased episode 4 of Tiny House, Big Living season 1. I feel a series binge coming on and I am pausing just long enough to tell you about this show.
Tiny House, Big Living on HGTV
I have not had cable for awhile. I've only had cable for a short stretch of time (about 2 1/2 years) over the past 10 years or so. I despise paying that much money for such poor service. The price tag seems so high for what it is and they hike the price higher each year. Basically, the only reason I had cable for those couple of years was for a few specific channels. HGTV was the primary channel I wanted to watch.
Somehow, I didn't see Tiny House, Big Living while I had cable. Perhaps it came out just after I disconnected cable. I had watched shows (I can't recall which channels.) such as Tiny House Nation, Treehouse Masters, and Tiny House Hunters.
Today, I started to search Amazon for those shows. And I found Tiny House, Big Living instead.
Tiny House, Big Living Season 1 - Episode 4
I chose episode 4 because the photo showed a plain but attractive exterior and a metal roof. Simple with a tin roof is along the lines of my preferred tiny home exteriors. But rest assured, there is a variety of exteriors to choose from in this series.
In this episode we watch a dad help his young adult daughter build a tiny house on a frame. Her goal was to have her own living space and to be debt free. His goal, among many including some ulterior motives, was for her to increase her ability to be independent through knowledge of home building.
We watch as choices are made and the home goes up. I loved their creativity, their choices for the interior, and how this young lady imagined an ingenious ladder system for her loft.
I will stop here. There's not much that can be said about a single episode without leaking some spoilers. If you are interested in Tiny Homes and haven't seen Tiny Homes, Big Living you might want to give it a peek.
Purchasing Television Shows and Movies From Amazon
In case I am not the only one who hasn't purchased television shows from Amazon I want to tell you how easy it is.
- Search Amazon as you would for any other item
- Search under the Television and Movies category
- Choose your item and click the "buy" button
- My episode opened immediately and I viewed it
- When I returned to watch a second time, I located it in my account in Amazon - under "Your Video Library"
Happy watching!
This sounds like a do-able option for me too. I don't do TV at all. Maybe one show in 3 or 4 months, but loved some of HGTV's offerings. Like you I hate to pay for cable for one show ....I will have to look into this option for myself. Thanks Dawn Rae!
ReplyDeleteI also have a thing called "sling tv" on my laptop. Sylvestermouse recommended it in one of her articles. There are some select HGTV shows that I can watch on sling. I don't watch Sling often, but when I do, it is HGTV. You might like some of the other channels offered on it.

ReplyDeleteOoooh, I haven't see Tiny Homes, Big Living either! It sounds wonderful and I know I would love the episode you have recommended.
ReplyDeleteWe removed cable tv from our home a while back now. The bill had simply gotten too high for so little in return. Now, I frequently purchase movies or a tv series from Amazon, but I especially love the shows that are included with Amazon Prime.
Between Sling and now these shows from Amazon, I'm set! I guess I'll have to check out Amazon prime now.
DeleteI use Sling TV to watch HGTV, including the Tiny House shows. Even though we're not interested in living in an honest-to-goodness tiny house, I'm always encouraged when I watch the shows, usually encouraged to get rid of something I don't need. And yes, I do purchase TV shows and an occasional movie from Amazon so I can stream and watch them anytime with no additional fee. We've never had a cable bill and prefer being selective when it comes to what we watch and, especially, what we buy to watch.

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this particular show before, I do like Tiny House Nation though so I'll have to check it out. The space saving solutions on these shows are often ingenius.
