‘My back hurts watching this’ people cry as a woman shows off her tiny home – and there’s not enough room to stand up
TINY homes might not be for everyone, but this woman has made the space work for her – even if she can’t stand up stright.
Bresha Jeanae lives in a small home in Houston, Texas, and has to crawl or bend over to get to her bed.
Although the entire home doesn’t have a low ceiling, Bresha’s bedroom is only 3 ft 6 inches high, making it difficult to get in and out.
Posting about her tiny home journey on social media, Bresha confessed that everyone has something to say about her new abode.
But it doesn’t matter because as far as she’s concerned it’s her dream home.
“It’s so cosy, she said in one clip, “yes I have to bend down for three seconds to get to my bed but that’s it.”
Since the ceiling is so low in the bedroom there’s not enough room for a full bedframe or the usual furniture you’d expect in a bedroom.
Despite that, she’s managed to make the tiny house a home with a few cute additions, like nice bedding and bedside tables.
Although she could technically get the roof raised on the home, it’s just not an option for Bresha.
“This tiny home is considered an RV park home, so it sits on wheels at all times and can be moved anywhere.
“So if I raised the roof it would no longer be 399 sq ft, which is what it has to be for it to be considered an RV park home,” she expalined.
Not only that, but the small size of the pad means that Bresha doesn’t have to pay property taxes.
“I definitely want to avoid [paying that] at all costs,” she said.
Although the low roof might seem annoying, she assured viewers on TikTok it doesn’t bother her too much, unless she’s making the bed or wants to redecorate.
Despite Bresha insisting it doesn’t bother her people were still amazed she bought the home with such a low roof.
“My backs hurting watching this,” one person commented on the clip.
A second wrote: “I’m sorry but no Queen, you deserve better. A new home where your back isn’t paying the consequences.”
“I promise it’s not that bad,” Bresha replied to one of the comments, explaining that she probably only has to bend over up there around three times per day.
“A lot of people think I just stand bent over up here all the time and I’m going to get back problems when I’m older but that’s not the case, “she said.
As for the rest of the home, there’s more space than you might expect, and there’s even a bedroom downstairs with a normal height ceiling.
Bresha said she didn’t want to use that space as her bedroom though since it’s much smaller, despite the higher ceiling.
But not everyone was convinced.
“My claustrophobia would end my in my sleep I cannot even look at that ceiling,” one person commented on Bresha’s viral video.
“I can barely breathe just watching this,” another said.
And a third chimed in: “I would forget and bump my head all the time.”
