Woman shows off ‘tiny’ house under construction

In a video, the woman identified as @annsvan on TikTok said she had never imagined herself single and childless at 41, living in a van outside her mother’s house.

However, she found solace in being close to her mother and contributing to her care.

Ann disclosed that she has been living inside a van and then displayed her ‘tiny’ house under construction.

She reflected on her past, having spent 16 years in LA, and cherished the opportunity to make up for lost time with her mother.

In her words:

“I am 41 years old. Single without kids living in a van outside my mum’s house. I am currently building a tiny home next door to my mum.”

Never in a million years did I think I would end up in my 40s, single, without kids, living next to my mom. But now that I’m here, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I get to help take care of the person who took care of me as a child. I get to make up for loss time when I had moved away and lived in LA for 16 years. She also makes killer Thai food and I’m well fed.

“I am pumped I get to start this next chapter of my life with my mom and I get to create a beautiful oasis for us so we can grow old together.

“The time has come that my back is almost healed and I can finally finish the projects I started last year before my injury which are my tiny home next to my mom’s house as well as my Truck Cottage, then green house!

“I’m excited to share this next chapter of my journey. All my emo posts that I do won’t go away because I’m still emo af.”
