I am in love with your layout and the decor. I’m starting a 16x40 using this layout except the 10 extra ft. You guys did a beautiful job!!! One of the best IMO I’ve seen.
What you can do in your office / bedroom is put a Murphy bed they have plans online to make a Murphy bed that wall give you a lot of space Plus have your office I think that's what I would do
I think your house setup is perfect, the only thing I would change is the a/c's. I would put air & heat Mini Splits above the bedrooms. Thanks for sharing!❤
Hi Jason! The tutorial on floor planning and reasoning was very, very well thought out. You've allowed us to express our 2¢'s worth so here it is: I would of done pocket doors for the bedrooms and bathrooms so you don't lose any "wall space" to put dressers or cabinets or furniture on. Also, if it were my kitchen I would try to maximize the counter space by building cabinets that are a lot deeper than the standard/ normal size (adding about 1 1/2 ft more)( because of the stationary appliances that take up precious workable space) and with all slide out shelving and drawers for the extra storage with no problems for accessibility. The work island for me would be on lockable rolling casters with one side of it having a fold down same as the counter that can be used as extra counter for preparing, dining or any type of work projects when in the up position. Being movable can accommodate a slew of uses and can be used in the porch area also or turned sideways in the kitchen/living area. On that island under the main stationary top I also would have a slide out counter that would almost double the surface for when you have friends and family there. Can you tell I have a small non functional kitchen and gripe about lack of work surfaces? Hope there's something there that you can use if you choose when you get your new home. Oops I almost forgot, I also seen on someone's small shed where they had a Murphy's dining table that pulled down from the wall and where the kitchen counter ended a fold down table that lifted up adjoining the dining table for a "U" shaped dining or prep area that joined together almost seamlessly. Ingenious! When the Murphy's table was in the "up" position the legs were made to look like a big picture frame with chalk board paint underneath. Clever, clever, clever! The ingenuity of people always amazes and inspires me! Why have something stationary and small when all you have to do is incorporate pull down, lift ups, slide outs, casters and get more surfaces for the same floor space footprint?
The former owner of my home did a fold down work bench in the garage so it is not in the way for parking your cars. The same concepts can be used in your barns for working on projects or tending to an animal.
love the layout! the second bathroom with the closet laundry I would put a door through so visitors don't have to go through a bedroom to use the bathroom. It is actually more what I am looking for, been trying to find one that is disabled friendly with the possibility of my daughter and granddaughter living with me (for in home care after surgery)
Jason, your are right when it comes down to actual room sizes considering if one is building with 2x4 or 2x6 on exterior walls which cuts it back like 6" when going the 2x4 route, its more energy wise to build with 2x6 walls & insulation varies then 2x4 interior walls but over all it was an amazing layout, very wise keeping all plumbing together. Thanks for everything y'all share...
We tried to really think it out before building. And doing all the plumbing on one side saved me from crawling under the house... which I wanted to avoid at all costs! Haha
The Crocker Homestead , I can understand that but unfortunately I've got to " get under" the one I'll be getting to do the plumbing & wrap it up since it gets more colder here in Arkansas but where y'all are gets damn cold too at times, thanks for reply Jason y'all take care, & stay warm
I'm new to your channel so it looks absolutely amazing, but what I want to know is the same as a Mobile Home what is the insulation Factor in these ... I been in mobile home where they are stacked with insulation From an R31 in the ceiling to at least that much in the walls , me I prefer as much as I can get in a wall if I can get double that hey why not ! We all know why ! I lived in homes that had very little insulation in them... Went thru double what the rent was for them on utilities! $450 rent but utilities were $900 month, it can have all the luxury you can stand ,but the windows need to be double glass , if not your throwing money out windows ...
Hi I am sort of new to your channel, I love the home that you have built for your twin brother. Out of you and your brother,who owns the property. I like that you all like to live of the land, I enjoy seeing all the animals.
One main thing I would change is I would have the guest bathroom open up to the main living area. I lived in a place before where both the bathrooms were in the bedrooms and so whenever anyone wanted to use a bathroom, they would have to go through a bedroom.
I have been wondering what we would be doing for our plumbing. I liked the idea of putting it all one side, genius! My husband will appreciate not having to crawl somewhere too lol. Thanks for your videos! they have helped immensely!
I love your layout. My only thought is, I wouldn't have wanted my toddlers at the other end of the house, but that's just me. It's a great kitchen. The only thing I would change is to stack the microwave and toaster oven if possible and push it closer to the fridge to create more usable counter space. Again, that's just me.
We don't have any kids, so it wasn't something to really consider at the time. And we're going to build something to get the microwave off the counter to gain more space. Nothing wrong with your opinion! Everyone has their own needs!
Really? 26' away is hardly an issue surely? In a two-bedroom house, your options are a little limited, but if you want two bedrooms together you can sort it out to meet your needs, just like he said.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The only option with this draw out is to do cabinetry for such items but at tall pantry type cabinet won't standup to the wear & tear of vaccumme, etc unless made of 100% solid wood. Will also be harder to clean out dirt/dust associated with storing cleaning stuff.
Hey everyone, the best success that ive had was with the Wilfs Shed Formula (just google it) definately the most helpful info that I have ever followed.
You did a really nice job. If someone wants to copy your layout in a very cold climate, they might not want the plumbing on the exterior wall though. Even when well insulated there's a greater risk of pipes freezing.
The higher, the better since the cool air falls and heat rises. But it really didn't make a difference in our house. It pumps out more than enough cold for the space. So we wanted it low on the house to hide it from the outside
That is just about the exact same layout I drew up for my wife! Now, I can show her some pics of what it could be!! Thanks for sharing!!! Love this this video and the others I've seen. New sub!!
I love your presentation and positivity. Captains bed for dresser type storage Kitchen all on one wall. Giant island containing front load washer, dryer and dishwasher. Now she can watch football while doing laundry.
No closets in the main bedroom, no storage area even for the basics like brooms, vacuum, odd items or boxes....Everyone has odd things that need place to be stored! Not much thought went into this!
Lol Feel free to check out our other videos for all our storage space, there’s plenty. This is a very basic layout of our house. Not every detail is mentioned.
If it works for you, that's great! I need the space -- I have several sewing machines and make quilts, and I couldn't do it in that small a space. We built our home on 2+ acres here in Florida back in 2000. Your layout appears to work for you and that's great! We lived in Longview, Texas when our son was born, but have been in Florida since 1967. I'm almost 74, with serious spinal issues, must use a cane to walk, so I can't do garden/yard work any more! It looks like you've really got a good start! A lot of ingenuity in what you've done! Dutch made me do it!
Thank you! Thank e always say do what worlds best for YOU! We share our progress in hopes we can inspire others in some way. Everyone’s different and has different needs!
After the first video I stumbled on I started to look at your others. I'd just like to say that this is a great layout BUT...yes a but...you have NO storage. Also, I have a Golden Retriever which is a large dog. Just one large dog obliterates this plan. We need a King bed (ofc he sleeps with us). But well done! You asked what I would change..well the master would need to be 16ft (not 12). A few more closets ofc. Your island needs to be a tad smaller. Not in vertical but in horizontal width. Oven a must.. The laundry room shouldnt be in the 2nd Ba but in a separate room near the Kitchen. Other than that it is near perfect. Very impressed, ty for sharing!
Everyone has their own wants and needs! We don't need a lot of storage (we've down sized to a minimalistic lifestyle). But if people can take this floor plan and tweak it how they like, then I think that's great!!
I'm amazed ! What kind of insulation did You use ? I hope You are aware of how fortunate You are to have Public utilities ( water & electric ) ! I own 5 ac w/ no access to utilitys . Im thinking about building a 16x16 two story building ( similar to the one sold by Lowes ) . If I do it'll be rain water & solar , I may drill a well But , first I'll be checking w /codes to see if I can do anything like that .
This house is amazing. Can you tell me how if these houses would be better on the ground with cinder blocks and whatnot for a foundation even if it's on level ground, or would a cement slab be better to set the house on? My reason for asking is I live in Va. and if I ever build one of these I don't want to have to deal with the foundation issues I have had to deal with in this house I have now it has been an absolute nightmare. I'm so done with all of it. Also I would love to have one of these because I want to be as debt free as possible. TIA.
how much did running electrical cost? looking to buy one of these and make a custom floor plan good thing is that i’m a plumber so can tweak it the way I want
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work and home. I need help in addressing the question, "How (where) do I find land that will approve my home that was delivered?" I am fearful of making the investment for a house and then only to find out that it is not approved after it is delivered. That is a real fear for me. Also, can you recommend someone who can walk us through the whole process(including you), and naturally I don't expect anything for free. Thank you once again for such great content.
I doubt you’ll answer me but.. where in Texas can I buy about 20 acres and put a few of these down? I want to make 1 for each of my 4 son’s and 1 for me and my wife. This is all we need to live, I’m so tired of living to work instead of working to live. I now some places only allow 1 living space per lot. Thanks if you can give me ideas.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THIS WITH US. IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A SIMPLE LIVING METHOD, THIS LOOKS PERFECT. IM WONDFERING APPROX WHAT THE BASIC FLOOR LAYOUT WOULD COST.
FINALLY! The perfect floor plan. I already saw this house on Jared's video, but didn't realize it was this big. I will likely use this when I make my big move to eastern Oklahoma. I will likely put another door to one or both the bathrooms. Shoutout to Jared. Thank you.
It's my favorite shed to house design I'd like a bigger front porch and I'd put a floor in the back porch and maybe close in one end to use as a utility/laundry room..and I'd put a sliding glass door or maybe double French door on the back onto a bigger deck
Me and my family are doing a shed to home 16x50 lofted barn we was wondering the height of the building how many center block should we put it on . take in consideration the plumbing.
What do you think about adding another trailer/shed to this design in the future? Maybe expanding off of the backdoor? Is that cost efficient or just buy a house?
I do like to lay out that you guys came up with. If it was me I would only have one bedroom since I am single and make the bedroom larger. Would have my kitchen on the opposite end of my bedroom and have a porch to walk out on.
Get a microwave with convection same as a oven then put it up sharp carousel high price but had one for 24 years brown food just like a oven with out the heat of a oven
Thank you for the video... well done I like the house... the layout is functional... however I don't think it would work for me... then again I have a big family so I need more rooms thus a different floorplan and footprint would be needed...
I have a question, I thought homestead life was supposed to be a minimum living lifestyle and Cheaper lifestyle. I heard you say y’all land is in Terrell TX I’ve looked for land there and it’s super expensive so did y’all find sweet deal there or what?
No, not a sweet deal haha but when you live an hour from Dallas because of your 9 to 5 job... not much you can do. But an update for you... my brother Jared (he has his own channel now (search: Jared Crocker) lives here by himself (he has the 9 to 5 job) and my wife and I are looking for some cheap land to live the minimal lifestyle like we wanted. So we're getting there... But had to accommodate the corporate job for a while
We can only look at simple line drawing for so long... It would be better to actually see more of your actual structure and building. Boring explanation of drawings that goes on and on and on... from a piece of paper is just not interesting.
The layout is super great. Especially for a single father. Bedrooms on opposite side of the house. Privacy at it's finest.And with the open kitchen and living room it doesn't feel so like a small apartment. Now time to find some cheap land and buy a 16×50 and get to work. Regular houses that size will run u over $100,000+ now adays
Someone could put in an RV stove/oven if they want to, and they don’t take a lot of space. My travel trailer has a microwave built in above it. That could work too. I love your style, and I especially love the open concept. 🥰 I have a different layout in mind. I want to add a sunroom addition in the future, and I want my first phase to be large bedrooms with a center bathroom/laundry. One bedroom is gonna be a bunk room & playroom for my kids. The entry hall will be about 5 feet wide, with the top of the bathroom capped creating a large plant ledge above it. There will be two dormers on the front on each side of the front porch, and one on the back over the plant ledge, loft. I am aiming for a sun porch addition, to act as the living room, with a kitchen. I had a sunporch on my 50’s ranch in 2001-2005. It was the best room in the house, and the space I still long for today. It gave us panoramic views, plenty of ventilation, because we could open windows and get fantastic cross breezes, and a multi-purpose space. We used it as a gathering spot for holidays and birthdays, a dining room, and even a playroom for my older kids. That room is where memories will be made.
When drawing a plan, it’s good to give the walls some thickness. If you’re framing with 2x4’s, you can lose a foot or two of floor area in the walls. A little suggestion for some situations is to use narrower lumber. I built a wall between 2 closets using using 2x3’s or ripped 2x4’s. If you don’t have plumbing or electrical outlets/switches, you don’t need 3.5”. Electrical even works with 2.5”.
Just a thought Near front window across from kitchen. A small wood burning stove. Due to heat rising in the main living room. Install small thermostat control fans duct to both bed room ends .
I never saw this video before....I like the way you explained the layout...what a great design 👍 Love the kitchen counter space.... is so important to have that...everyone is always in the kitchen....no matter how big your house is. You all did a great job on Jared's house ...but it is because of you "Jason " You're like a handy contractor ...you work as a plumber, electrician and a good builder. You're a hard working person with knowledge and experience. You will finish your house in 60 days....and it will be beautiful.
Was there enough crawl space underneath the house to run heating and cooling under the home and up through the floors? Or would you need to build up a crawl space like on a traditional home (I'm assuming that is the traditional way wherever you are located it's the most common in NC) or maybe is there enough room to run it over head in the ceiling if one were to take away the vaulted ceiling look? Idk I'm just bouncing idea's around in my head.
Dimensions should be inside to inside of your rooms , your over all dimension is 16×50 have to allow for wall framing to give accurate interior room size , but its a nice layout would be very adequate for weekend or vacation living
I am in love with your layout and the decor. I’m starting a 16x40 using this layout except the 10 extra ft. You guys did a beautiful job!!! One of the best IMO I’ve seen.

Sweet layout, I would put a wood stove in on one of the outside walls ... love my wood stove 👍🏻
Hi Jason! The tutorial on floor planning and reasoning was very, very well thought out.

If u dont mind can u give me the other channel u was talking about I'm planning out a shed to home and would live to check it out ty
love the layout! the second bathroom with the closet laundry I would put a door through so visitors don't have to go through a bedroom to use the bathroom. It is actually more what I am looking for, been trying to find one that is disabled friendly with the possibility of my daughter and granddaughter living with me (for in home care after surgery)

Pocket doors on the bedrooms would take less space. Loved the layout.

Outstanding job- I like it as is - thanks for sharing 0:)
Thank you so much!
Needs more closet space for 2 people. Also a closet for brooms, vac, wash mops cleaning stuff. Also a pantry closet.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The only option with this draw out is to do cabinetry for such items but at tall pantry type cabinet won't standup to the wear & tear of vaccumme, etc unless made of 100% solid wood. Will also be harder to clean out dirt/dust associated with storing cleaning stuff.
Hey everyone, the best success that ive had was with the Wilfs Shed Formula (just google it) definately the most helpful info that I have ever followed.
You do realize it’s a 16x50 small home not a built house he did the best with the space he had
Very smart floorplan 👍
Thank you
Looks like a great layout for building this size
I'm actually leaning more towards a smaller build, but I'm just one guy with a dog 😁
You did a really nice job. If someone wants to copy your layout in a very cold climate, they might not want the plumbing on the exterior wall though. Even when well insulated there's a greater risk of pipes freezing.
That’s a good point! Luckily for us here in Texas we don’t get a whole lot of winter(let alone very cold) weather!
Niceeeeee I Will be doing something similar this year with my 16x50 . How much did you spend in total ?
I didn't hear the overall price. If I missed it I apologize.
HOW MUCH IS IT
Nice Layout... Why AC are in the floor AC unit should it be near to the ceiling 🤔that’s what I thought... you my friend did great job
The higher, the better since the cool air falls and heat rises. But it really didn't make a difference in our house. It pumps out more than enough cold for the space. So we wanted it low on the house to hide it from the outside
Very nice.
Wish u would do a finish walkthrough. 😁😁😁
We're ALMOST ready for that! Still working on the house . We did a finished bedroom and bathroom video though
Love your home. Great job.
Thank you so much!
What was the cost with what you did
I dont think you made it clear, where is the main bedroom? Also, what about the 2nd one?
I think bedroom #1 is considered the main or master bedroom, even tho I assumed the rooms r the same size
You win the internet today, Christopher!
@@TheCrockers haha
First time here, like your 16x50-how much ??
That is just about the exact same layout I drew up for my wife! Now, I can show her some pics of what it could be!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Love this this video and the others I've seen. New sub!!
That's so awesome! I guess great minds think alike!! Haha
I love your presentation and positivity.
Captains bed for dresser type storage
Kitchen all on one wall. Giant island containing front load washer, dryer and dishwasher. Now she can watch football while doing laundry.
Hey just a thought I seen an island that has rollers on them just a thought ...

Love your videos
Thank you so much!
For myself I love just the layout, I think I would do the same.
FINALLY! The perfect floor plan. I already saw this house on Jared's video, but didn't realize it was this big. I will likely use this when I make my big move to eastern Oklahoma. I will likely put another door to one or both the bathrooms. Shoutout to Jared. Thank you.
I would have used the closet space for the commode and put a shallow but longer closet along the wall opposite it.
It's my favorite shed to house design I'd like a bigger front porch and I'd put a floor in the back porch and maybe close in one end to use as a utility/laundry room..and I'd put a sliding glass door or maybe double French door on the back onto a bigger deck
Me and my family are doing a shed to home 16x50 lofted barn we was wondering the height of the building how many center block should we put it on . take in consideration the plumbing.
I love it no changes at all..
Closet's NOT in Bathroom(too much humidity)
MORE closet and storage, laundry?
What do you think about adding another trailer/shed to this design in the future? Maybe expanding off of the backdoor? Is that cost efficient or just buy a house?
I do like to lay out that you guys came up with. If it was me I would only have one bedroom since I am single and make the bedroom larger. Would have my kitchen on the opposite end of my bedroom and have a porch to walk out on.
It's perfect! Awesome! What's the cost of that size of building? Where do you find them?
I really like the layout. Only change I would make would be pocket doors into the bedrooms.
Love the thot process on your design - when do you video a walk thru?
We have a whole Shed To House playlist if you’d like to check it out, lots of walk throughs
My headphones were turned up way too loud for that intro. 📢🔊😐
Great video though!
Is there any advantage to putting a 16 by 54 on a footer foundation. What do you reccomd and what did you put yours on?
You should get a caravan oven, it's the size of a microwave. I have had my one for 15 years.
Which dealer/ location did you purchase your shed from? Were you happy with the service?
I LOVE IT. ITS AMAZING. Did you certified it in your county.
You can also easily add on with an enclosed hallway at the back the mirror image the first behind it.
Where do you buy the building at? I live in Georgia and I am really wanting to do this!
How do I learn more about purchasing this style shed?
Love the layout and the look. We'll thought out design. Definitely pocket doors.
I like the open concept and split master bedrooms with restrooms..
Well done 👍 A+ guys!
Thanks so much!
Can't wait for it to be built good luck! Look forward to the walk thru!!!
Great layout! Y'all did great!
Is it sturdy, how would it stand up against 90 mile an hour wind?
How much does something like this cost to purchase all said and done
No closet in the bedrooms? Deal breaker for the lady...
If you build a shelf strong enough to hold the microwave on the wall above the counter top then you will have more space on the counter top
Get a microwave with convection same as a oven then put it up sharp carousel high price but had one for 24 years brown food just like a oven with out the heat of a oven
I love it but would only have one bath and have a side by side washer and dryer
So did you actually start with a shed? Where did you purchase?
Thank you for the video... well done I like the house... the layout is functional... however I don't think it would work for me... then again I have a big family so I need more rooms thus a different floorplan and footprint would be needed...
Yeah we're very lucky we don't have kids right now. We'll have to add on if we do haha
Needs more closets, plus upper cabinets in kitchen.
This is great feels like home. Greeting from N C we love TX
How much was the cost of your home without the finished inside?
Us people are so stupid please repeat everything so I can get it ok
Omg I love everything about this!!!
I have a question, I thought homestead life was supposed to be a minimum living lifestyle and Cheaper lifestyle. I heard you say y’all land is in Terrell TX I’ve looked for land there and it’s super expensive so did y’all find sweet deal there or what?
No, not a sweet deal haha but when you live an hour from Dallas because of your 9 to 5 job... not much you can do. But an update for you... my brother Jared (he has his own channel now (search: Jared Crocker) lives here by himself (he has the 9 to 5 job) and my wife and I are looking for some cheap land to live the minimal lifestyle like we wanted. So we're getting there... But had to accommodate the corporate job for a while
Smart layout!
Thank you
I liked the plan, but you repeat to much...
We can only look at simple line drawing for so long... It would be better to actually see more of your actual structure and building. Boring explanation of drawings that goes on and on and on... from a piece of paper is just not interesting.
We have an entire shed to House playlist if you want to check it out, this video was highly requested and that’s why we did it this way.
I would need a laundry room/storage closet.
Pocket Doors would be better for the inside
How much (ball park) did it total?
Here’s a dumb question… can these be moved/sold after they’re finished out like this?
Not a dumb question! Yes they can! But if you use drywall, you have the chance of it cracking at the seems
Great plan
Can you show a three bedroom plan
The layout is super great. Especially for a single father. Bedrooms on opposite side of the house. Privacy at it's finest.And with the open kitchen and living room it doesn't feel so like a small apartment. Now time to find some cheap land and buy a 16×50 and get to work. Regular houses that size will run u over $100,000+ now adays
can you send me a pdf of your layout?
How many sf for the entire shed?
Great floor plan, looks bigger then it is.
Yes it does! When we got it, we thought it was going to be way too small haha we were wrong!
What is the total cost of the finished product?
Check out our other videos, we have a total cost video! 👍🏼
Someone could put in an RV stove/oven if they want to, and they don’t take a lot of space. My travel trailer has a microwave built in above it. That could work too. I love your style, and I especially love the open concept. 🥰 I have a different layout in mind. I want to add a sunroom addition in the future, and I want my first phase to be large bedrooms with a center bathroom/laundry. One bedroom is gonna be a bunk room & playroom for my kids. The entry hall will be about 5 feet wide, with the top of the bathroom capped creating a large plant ledge above it. There will be two dormers on the front on each side of the front porch, and one on the back over the plant ledge, loft. I am aiming for a sun porch addition, to act as the living room, with a kitchen. I had a sunporch on my 50’s ranch in 2001-2005. It was the best room in the house, and the space I still long for today. It gave us panoramic views, plenty of ventilation, because we could open windows and get fantastic cross breezes, and a multi-purpose space. We used it as a gathering spot for holidays and birthdays, a dining room, and even a playroom for my older kids. That room is where memories will be made.
When drawing a plan, it’s good to give the walls some thickness. If you’re framing with 2x4’s, you can lose a foot or two of floor area in the walls.
A little suggestion for some situations is to use narrower lumber. I built a wall between 2 closets using using 2x3’s or ripped 2x4’s. If you don’t have plumbing or electrical outlets/switches, you don’t need 3.5”. Electrical even works with 2.5”.
Just a thought
Near front window across from kitchen. A small wood burning stove. Due to heat rising in the main living room. Install small thermostat control fans duct to both bed room ends .
I never saw this video before....I like the way you explained the layout...what a great design 👍
Love the kitchen counter space.... is so important to have that...everyone is always in the kitchen....no matter how big your house is.
You all did a great job on Jared's house ...but it is because of you "Jason " You're like a handy contractor ...you work as a plumber, electrician and a good builder.
You're a hard working person with knowledge and experience.
You will finish your house in 60 days....and it will be beautiful.
Was there enough crawl space underneath the house to run heating and cooling under the home and up through the floors? Or would you need to build up a crawl space like on a traditional home (I'm assuming that is the traditional way wherever you are located it's the most common in NC) or maybe is there enough room to run it over head in the ceiling if one were to take away the vaulted ceiling look? Idk I'm just bouncing idea's around in my head.
Dimensions should be inside to inside of your rooms , your over all dimension is 16×50 have to allow for wall framing to give accurate interior room size , but its a nice layout would be very adequate for weekend or vacation living
Where is your breaker box at?
