That's a documentary I'd love to see. My husband and I would be divorced or murder-suicided within a couple of days in a tiny house. If you're going to have that small of a space, best (in my view) to have an apartment.
I wonder if the lack of hard hats, gloves, etc., are just for when the show is shooting and that once the scene is done, the protective equipment comes back on.
I remember when lots of real estate/remodeling shows were pushing open-plan McMansions with cavernous "great rooms" taking up pretty much the entire ground floor, and my thought was always about how much it would cost to heat or cool the space, and also wondering what is so terrible about interior walls.
An entire gated community of failed McMansions does have a special glow about it.
