I usually like to watch the process of buying a house rather than fixing up a house, since the couples\/family usually have to prioritize what features of a home that they would like in their newest buy. You also get to compare houses and if you&#8217;re like me, you&#8217;re always hoping that they choose the house you like.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11265 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/d9110a19-3f29-4ed1-b55c-0f4aa6869a05-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/d9110a19-3f29-4ed1-b55c-0f4aa6869a05-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/d9110a19-3f29-4ed1-b55c-0f4aa6869a05-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/d9110a19-3f29-4ed1-b55c-0f4aa6869a05.jpeg 952w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After watching many of these shows, I start to notice more features that I wouldn&#8217;t normally notice in a house. Features such as popcorn ceiling, Jack-and-Jill bathrooms, baseboards and skylights are new terms I learnt whilst watching these shows. Even my youngest sister once pointed out whilst we were driving near the neighborhood that one of the houses had &#8220;character&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the shows feature tiny houses, such as the show Tiny House, Big Living. They typically showcase a house which is sort of like a trailer, it can be hooked up to a car and moved around. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11266 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1445891473784-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1445891473784-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1445891473784-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1445891473784.jpeg 966w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>These houses would have a kitchen, bathroom and bed, all at an average size of 180 square feet. Some of these houses feature a composting toilet, a type of toilet I know exists in the Dana building but have yet to set foot in it. Besides that, I find it fascinating that people elect to live in a small space, acknowledging that most of their time will be spent outdoors anyway. Another perk of living in a tiny house is that you won&#8217;t be tied to a hefty mortgage in the years to come as they cost anywhere between $10,000-$180,000, a whole lot less than what typical houses cost.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, I hope watching these house shows help me decide what kind of house I would want when buying one. A lesson I learnt from watching these shows is: location, location, location!<\/p>\n<p>(Image credits: Google Images)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching house shows, from Fixer Upper to Selling NYC, are always a great watch for me.
