No, no I'm just kidding.
2
Welcome to Boxable Casita Come on in take a look around
3
Boxable Casita has nine
4
and a half foot ceilings eight foot tall windows eight foot
5
tall doors everything is three foot wide gives you a tremendous
6
sense of space it's one of our secret sauce ingredients to
7
really make everything feel very very big the casita is also 19 by 19
8
so not so tiny
9
when you think our other product in this space is about
10
eight foot wide nobody wants to live in something that's eight foot wide
11
so these are 19 foot wide it's really a different feeling
12
and the casita is basically divided the design i wonder if it's the most successful design in the history of creation,
13
actually with 170,000 pre-orders, but that's just me being immodest for the company.
14
But the design of the talks gone into the design with our designers and it's basically in quadrants.
15
So where I'm standing right now is in this quadrant over here, which is the bedroom quadrant, which is a queen size bed, full queen size bed.
16
There's nothing half sized about boxable or even the boxable casita.
17
In this quadrant over here is the bathroom because nighttime, go to the bathroom.
18
That's what happens.
19
So the layout is very good for what we call the back of the house.
20
And we've got a back door here, which we can take a look at.
21
But first, check out the bathroom.
22
So in this unit, we've got a full glass door.
23
It's pretty nice.
24
and over here a nice compact washer dryer goes boxed in
25
so you can put a laundry center over here really super functional we pay a lot of attention to storage
26
so come on in it's really nice always neutral colors
27
because we don't know who's going to live in it
28
so they need to be able to dial it in with their own style their own substance
29
so if we make them mostly white with neutral colors black
30
and white black and gray white and gray it just appeals to a very broad audience.
31
Courts, counters, tons and tons of storage.
32
Big announcement on our cabinetry coming soon.
33
I think it's pretty mind-blowing from the market, so sorry to tease, but I can't tell you more than that right now.
34
And look at this huge shower, eight foot tall.
35
I'm probably around 6'2 with my cowboy boots on, so very tall.
36
But if I was in bare feet and I was really 6'2, which I'm not, that's a really tall shower head.
37
And when you stand in here, because this is so tall, my showers are about here,
38
it feels grand it feels absolutely great and it feels like you're really in a very generous space which frankly
39
you are so let's go to the front of the house
40
and i can describe that
41
so here's the front of the house this is where we walked in uh
42
and again here's the quadrant we walk in over to the left is a couch tv closet
43
and over to the right because you're on the couch watching the tv we need snacks
44
So the kitchen is next to the couch.
45
And look at this.
46
Huge Z-Wave countertop courts.
47
Beautiful little hanging light so you can do some work.
48
You can get a coffee or dinner with your significant other or just a friend.
49
And just very, very nice.
50
Twin sinks, window over the sink.
51
Who doesn't want a window over the sink so when you can ask somebody else to wash the dishes for you, at least you're giving them a nice view.
52
And again, lots and lots of cabinetry.
53
I'm dying to tell you the upgrade on the cabinetry we're doing
54
because it's mind-blowing but I can't do it today and
55
because it's Casita and everything is full-size you know we have obviously a full-size fridge
56
which is pretty nice obviously somebody's been drinking what appears to be very inexpensive
57
champagne so that's clearly not mine and yeah pretty nice we change all always with these
58
we're constantly changing on on the on the appliances we're actually coming out with own branded appliances
59
which is pretty good we can raise the quality lower the price
60
which is the possible way
61
and do them in in large in large volumes uh how about we turn around
62
and take a look out back one of the nice things
63
about casita is uh we offer them with back doors
64
so you get a front door and a back door
65
and you say why do i need a back door in something that's 19 foot by
66
and it's so
67
that you can have a yard you can have a really
68
generous yard you can make this as big as you want
69
so depending on your use case on what your your plot is like
70
or what you plan on doing with the casita just leaving
71
this door open expands the living space it actually expands the inside living space uh depending on you know the
72
if your climate is moderate
73
so beautiful flooring it's all part of the box full system we're not in production with this year
74
but they just lay down snap together we're thinking of everything
75
we can for our customers the goal of boxable is to
76
solve the housing crisis very very tiny goal we'll see
77
if we get there i think we have a really good shot at getting at getting there
78
and the goal of boxable is three things
79
the highest quality the lowest cost and the maximum speed
80
because we have to deliver in high high high volumes those are the three legs of our table
81
which makes it very stable

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
