We have two Tuff Shed offices in our backyard. I was able to design the first one myself and the awesome Home Depot rep configured it for me on the computer. Our county code enforcement dept came out to approve both of them. I put up the insulation, walls and flooring. An electrician put in electricity. A handyman put in our air conditioners. I painted the buildings. Tuff Shed installed the windows, doors, and roofs. Tuff Shed sent out two Master Carpenters to replicate the first office for our second office. They both are very strongly built. Oh did I forget to tell you that I am a senior citizen woman...lol! If I can do it so can you!
Oh that is so awesome to hear!!! Way to go! And of course thank you for sharing your amazing shed to house story!!! If you ever would like to be highlighted on one of our videos, please send me an email at: bettertogetherlife@gmail.com Thanks!
ive had a tough shed 2 story for 15 years paid 5k for it and put the loft in myself for an additional 500. its still going strong. they build nice sheds
Out here in Arizona the state stopped them from selling the 2 story version. The loft space cannot have a head clearance over 5 ft. The state wants you to pay a ton of extra money to build a second floor.
When conservatives bitch about "regulations" these are the kinds of them that should be examples. I'm not sure if that's a state regulation or a more local municipal one, though.
If you want to live without codes, look for places without natural disasters. In defense of California building codes, 5.* earthquakes that leave thousands dead in other places just knock some stuff off shelves in California. There's also the fire recommendations that should be codes. When you see blocks of burnt-down devastation and one house still standing in the midst of it, that's somebody who actually took the fire recommendations seriously. Know your area. Know your perils. Plan accordingly. If you live in tornado alley, build a cellar. If you live in a flood zone, build on a rise. The first code of design is that it should be survivable.
When you see blocks of burnt down homes with one still standing it's because a DEW (Directed Energy Weapon) missed it's target, either on purpose or due to an error.
@@IceLynneI see you're one of those who feels helpless before a massive overarching conspiracy with godlike powers. It's not your fault. You have been groomed to believe in this by lesser, clumsier powers who don't have the resources to develop actual directed energy weapons but who want to frighten you anyway into a state where you can be easily manipulated. These lesser powers are sort of like Saruman in the end of The Lord of the Rings (book version, not movie version) where it was said that he had only one power left: the power of his voice. You have been lied to. These lies will often incorporate bits of truth (DEW is possible, but not economically feasible) to make them more believable. Different groups in different social bubbles are told different fearsome things--for instance Muslims will be told that Christians and Jews are out to persecute them, Christians and Jews will be told that Muslims and atheists are out to persecute them, atheists will be told that Christians and Muslims are out to persecute them, so that all might act scared and suspicious of each other, reinforcing the fear in each other. That's just one example. This is because the Cold War, and the subsequent fall of the USSR, showed that America can't be defeated from outside financially or militarily. The only way to defeat us is to persuade us to turn against ourselves. Our power has been that we are the UNITED States of America--we have always derived our strength from our diverse population working together, and the synergy that comes of that. Only two other countries are as diverse: India, which is weakened by all their different groups fighting amongst each other, and the Russian Federation, which has been weakened by suppressing its diversity. If those who hate us can turn our greatest strength into a weakness, we will fall out of the picture. These lies have come out of Russia, China and Iran, with a bit from North Korea. They're not so much working together as stealing ideas from each other and hijacking each other's efforts to reap benefits for themselves. Nobody wants to conquer us per se. The logistics would be impossible, as we have allies to the north and south and oceans to either side (although they are working hard to convince us that our southern ally is an enemy.) But they want us to become too feeble to venture from our continent and help our allies abroad, so that they can do whatever they want to their neighbors. They want us to cease to be the world's strongest nation. Hopefully, they'd like to see us dissolve altogether and just cease to bug them. They are lying to you. They post fake pictures to convince you, like a photo that claimed to show a DEW beam from space igniting Hawaii. The picture in fact showed a harmless rare light phenomenon, photographed in Montana, of a focused light beam, caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere. The wild conifers, in varieties typical of the Northwestern United States, should have been a tip-off that this was not Hawaii. They will mention real things taken completely out of context, like the Kyoto Accords warning that if we don't curb global climate change we could see an 80% drop in the population by 2050. They will twist this to claim that a satanic conspiracy wants to reduce the population by 80% by 2050. If you see part of the comment out of the whole context, you could be deceived. Another trick is to take old events and make them sound like they're happening now. For instance, reporting that miles of city blocks had burned down due to riots in Portland. And if you do a quick google search you will find numerous article headlines confirming this...except that the articles are all in historical websites, and this happened a hundred years ago. And then there's the Funny Milk deception. If someone takes a glass of perfectly good milk, takes a sip, makes a face, and then hands it to you asking, "Do you think this milk tastes funny?" you are likely to taste undertones to the flavors that you normally don't notice, and conclude that the milk has gone bad. In the same way a deceiver can set a context for you that makes you think something is off that is not. For instance, Wayfair Market often gives girl names to various designs of furniture, and prices them for an upscale market. I've met people deceived into believing that actual girls with those names are being smuggled inside the furniture (eve furniture with no room to smuggle anybody inside) because the prices are more than people on working-class salaries would pay. As for the idea of a massive conspiracy run by a whole host of satanic elites, it couldn't work. It would require too many narcissists (because who else wants to rule the world?) to work harmoniously for generations. Narcissists don't play well together. They each want to be the only boss in the room. They will make fragile alliances, but these never last longer than a few years at best before they turn on each other. Xi, for instance, has already backstabbed Putin, two years after declaring their friendship without limits. No way can they cooperate long enough to develop DEWs. I could go on. It's all psy-ops. Learn about logic fallacies, sound research techniques, and the manipulation techniques that might be used against you, to spot these trolls. They have no power that we don't hand them. Good luck, friend.
Full bath in upstairs suite, with stacked laundry and 1/4 bath under the stairs, open living area with kitchen,3' off the ground with covered wrap around deck , I'm in!!😊😊😊
I would want a separate washer and dryer. I like to start the second load while the first load is drying. The washing machines they make today take twice as long to do a load of clothes. The wash cycle should not take longer than 25 minutes to do. But they say they are saving energy. Hog Wash! 73
On the note of buying land, look for land that has an old rundown trailer on it. Most people don't to hassle with having the old house removed, so you can typically get the land a little below market. Plus, the land already has utilities ran.
Could I live in that? YES! The secret to tiny home living is have big outside spaces. I built my 16'x24', 384 square feet, tiny home 11yrs ago. Every year I take my tax return money and savings account to do one project per year. I added a 16'x24' attached rear screened in porch, then attached to that a 16'x24' carport, then a 12'x16' shed, then took one quarter of my screened in porch and framed it to be my new bedroom 8'x12', then took my old bedroom 8'x10' and turned it into my laundry, linen, pantry, utility room, then every year I would get one dump truck load of limestone making a 50'x50' parking lot for guest parking, then I cemented under my carport, under my house, and under my porch, then I added a courtyard fence from my front corner of my house to my shed and from my shed rear corner to parallel my house, porch, and carport, both fences totaling 60', then I attached a fire pit awning to my carport to the courtyard fence, it is 16'x33', then I put 1300 stepping stones in my courtyard in a two rows grey and six rows red pattern, and this year I changed out my carport tin roof for new galvalume corrugated metal. All my roofs are the new galvalume corrugated metal except my shed which was made from my grandfather's old shed that is about 50yrs old. Next year I will add 12'x16' to my screened in porch, then the next year after that I will add a roof from my fire pit awning to my shed which will be 20'x20' and then I will make an outdoor kitchen under that roof, then the next year I will put up a lattice roof from my house to shed which will be 15'x15' for a meditation/herb garden with seating and a water feature or water fountain. I already have a hammock under my fire pit awning, and I will add an outdoor shower in the corner of my screened in porch addition and a jetted free-standing tub in the porch also. Then I will take out my tub/shower in my house and put in a custom shower. My point is if you tiny you have to utilize the outside for living spaces, like a screened in porch, outdoor kitchen, covered patio or covered fire pit area. That way you can do it over time and not all at once, its also less to insure as outdoor spaces cost less to insure, repair, and to replace. And you can do the additions over time at your own pace. Now my 400 square foot house is 1800 square foot total and 480 square foot living, but my homeowner's insurance is still only $1,100 per year. It keeps my cost of living low. Now I just have to switch from low efficiency window units to super high efficiency heat pump split ac systems. I like having a window unit as a backup and to help cool down my house in the 117F heat index south Louisiana summers especially if I want to cook in such a small house in that kind of heat.
Wow! This is amazing, Ross! I am planning to purchase some land in south Louisiana and possibly build a tiny home on it like the one shown in the video. I want to do exactly what you have done over time. Thank you for sharing this! It's very inspiring! :)
@@yoshikagarner6655 I would also say that if you buy a tiny home but you feel like one or more rooms are too small, when you add an addition weather attached or not, you can make a bigger version of that room there. Let's say your need a larger bedroom, on your addition you can make a bedroom as big as you want, you just have to insulate the walls, floor and ceiling, wire it with electricity, sheetrock, I recommend shipping lap or asking Home Depot/Lowes for any scrap boards to make into shiplap for your walls and ceiling. I like shiplap over sheetrock because it's easy, just cut, screw, and paint if you want, no skilled labor like with Sheetrock and easy to replace unlike repairs with Sheetrock. Then add a high efficiency heat pump split unit in that room and bam you have a perfect sized bedroom. You can do that with any room you need bigger like a huge laundry room, big outdoor kitchen, out door kitchens are good for in the summer when you don't want to heat up your house or make it smell to much like food like when cooking seafood. Don't have enough room in your bathroom bam add it to one of your additions as big as you want. I will have an outdoor shower in my screened in porch the a jetted free standing tub in my porch so after a long day I can take a shower then get in the jetted tub and watch my fire pit and enjoy a few beers or bourbon on the rocks.
@@yoshikagarner6655 a few things I recommend on your tiny home 1) corrugated galvalume metal, last 50yrs if you paint on cool seal to reseal the screw heads so they don't leak 2) additions add space that can extend your house's space 3) if you want your tiny home to be moveable let's say if you want to take it with you on vacation sometimes, you can make your additions not attached to your home but the home parks in between the additions that are on three of the four sides 4) high efficiency heat pump split units. If you live in the super hot and humid south then I would recommend getting them one size bigger than you need ie, 9000btu needed then get 12,000btu, 12,000 needed then get 18,000. Because when they rate the needed BTUs for a space they do not consider the 5 months when it's 117F heat index and 98% humidity. If it's still too hot in your tiny home also confirm the floor is insulated if not you can pay or go to home Depot and buy the two tank mix and spray high r-value close cell expansion foam under your floor, if still not cold enough I would either add one 9,000 or 12,000 btu window unit to the bedroom and living room to help in the hottest part of the year. Remember the SEER is the efficiency number and the highest you can afford will keep your electric bill lower 5) pay or paint your metal roof with cool seal after installed and then every 10yrs to help seal all the screw heads because the washers dry rot over time and allow wat er rust the screws and allows water under your roof rotting your wood 6) laundry/pantry/utility/linen room can be an insulated, and air conditioned on one of your additions so you can have a huge room to store washer, dryer, standing or chest freezer, huge pantry, all your storage that you want air conditioned and not in a shed 7) outside spaces are key, cover patio, covered fire pit awning, out door kitchen, bigger bathroom, bigger bedroom, guest bedroom, open deck, all can be added to one or all of your additions. If you have the money pay someone, if you DIY them watch RUclips as they have a ton of videos on additions, decks, plumbing, I would just get an electrician for the electric to be safe and a plumber for gas to be safe 8) I recommend putting your tiny home on a cement slab and putting about 5 cinder blocks high for you house to rest on, the slab only needs to be 2" thick but where the load is the footings have to be 16"x16" for load-bearing, confirm with your local building code 9) good luck with your tiny home and remember it takes time and the more time you take the more you live in it the more you realize what you actually do and want to do so you can build to what you want and need. That way it's easy for you to use a creeper to roll under your house for repairs
@RossMalagarie , wow! Thank you! Do you happen to do this kind of work for others, as well, or just for yourself? I am really looking to get home, so I wouldn't have a large mortgage. I want financial freedom from a large mortgage...I just want to live a simple life.
@@yoshikagarner6165 sorry just for my self, I am single, and a fire fighter so to keep my bills down I do everything myself but sorry I don't do constructive for work. I hope you can find a good, inexpensive person to do your work. You may also want to look into Home Depot Tough shed as they can be converted into a house pretty easily by getting with your local building code department and asking before what it would take. It's usually a little bigger floor joists, hurricane straps and that's about it, that way all you have to do is finish the inside, electric, gas, plumbing, shiplap, flooring, painting Tough Sheds and United Portable Buildings are two good shed that can easily be used for homes just confirm with your local building code department first.
Honestly that space under the stares is perfect to put your shower. Right up against that wall parallel to the second flight underneath. Build out a wall a few feet and put your bathroom sink and toilet right there. Keep the water downstairs. From there put a back door and atleast one window on the back wall. From there, small kitchen, probably on the opposing wall from the stairs. One wall, fridge, counter, cabinets. Done. Everything else is open floor. Figure it out 👍
This house would be huge for me. My house is 16 x 12 single story, stick built not "tough shed", but basically the same thing. It is fully insulated and finished with drywall like any other house, with carpet and vinyl floors. I have an open front room with full kitchen, small dining table, couch and desk. Then there is a full bathroom w/ shower, and two small bedrooms (one has bunk beds). It works fine for me, and would be fine for 2 to 3 people. people need to figure out things are not going to get better, and learn to get out of all these big debt and tax laden city homes. get a spit of rural land _(or several acres if you have the money)_ in a friendly state without all the stupid garbage "codes" and regulations _(such as rural missouri/ozark mountains)_ , get something like this in the video or smaller, and a wood stove while they still can. just my 2 cents
@kirksway1 they're very small 🙂 like my queen bed is surrounded on 3 sides by the back and side walls. Little hard to put the sheets on, but doable. I also have a stand alone closet built into the front corner of the bedroom. Next to the closet is the door that opens into this main bedroom, and then the other room has its own door just inside. Its not a perfect setup, but it works. and its just me here anyway. I just use the other room for extra clothes and such, but there are two bunk beds there if needed.
I might bolt on a second, much smaller, shed to the back to hold the bathroom/laundry. Working with the manufacturer, you could probably add a second story to the smaller shed for a second story bathroom.
Spray foam every little nook and cranny in that thing, and it'd probably be very very easy to keep warm. Power bill would probably be less than $60 a month in that, easily, and that's assuming you've got a small sound system, computer, large TV, or something. Could get a mini split for heat/AC. Have one vented upstairs, and one vented downstairs.
Very thorough and helpful construction and stylish Shed Plans! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG Numerous examples of different shed styles . Other may feature more styles, but this was the best Ryan's Shed Plans I found that gave a good sampling and a lot of good information about actually constructing a shed.
I live in California in an unpermitted dwelling. It's two Tuff Sheds with a section in between and a few other rooms off one end. In Kern County, where I live, they don't seem to care what you do in unincorporated areas of the county.
I believe in Massachusetts if you buy land that doesn't have anything built on it you just have to have it rezoned for either commercial or residential which takes some time
Hahaha, Holly you would LOVE IT!!!! And you can check out our actual house tour here on the channel. There you can see how we converted our 16x48 shed. Thanks!!!
When I was in Alabama I watched a guy buy one on a few acres. About a year later I saw him out there putting a brick facade on it. Looked like a small house.
I been in one at home Depot in Blairsville GA. Also the one room each floor model. I liked the one room version better there was one at the Home Depot in Blue Ridge GA that had log siding. Good choice if you zoning jurisdiction allows them. 73
You could absolutely turn that into an amazing tiny house, and you really wouldn't have to pour a crapload into it to make it habitable. I like the wooden look, so I would insulate the walls and hammer wooden boards back on them; I'd leave the celing alone since I think it looks great as is. Those floor planks would make great places to post pictures and other decorations. Obviously I'd need plumbing, and would have to add a servicable bathroom and kitchen; along with water and septic systems to go with them. I'd probably go with a rainwater assisted tank. As for getting power to the home, I would definitely go off grid with solar. I'm seriously going to look into this.
So glad I bought my building in 2018!! It is only a workshop but really nice. Most places in WV do not have codes........to bad you are so far away!! Thx
Then add the cost to build a kitchen, build a bathroom, insulate walls & ceiling, finish the walls & ceiling, heat & cool, land to put it on.... Have to have electricity, water/well and a sewer/septic. $60k-$90k and you still live in a shed.
This is the first time I've seen, much less heard, about a two story shed. I had no idea that was even a thing. I'd live in one of those. Hell, I'm gonna build that design in Ark.
That first interior shot made me think of the Riverwood Trader building in Skyrim, legit, put a fireplace in the center, some tables and chairs, and a long counter with shelves behind it, and boom there it is
I did except it was a single story. It was the cabin in the woods while I house hunted. I wouldn’t live in one full time though. That price is pretty high for unfinished space.
Great points!! Thank you soooo much for watching and for commenting. It really does mean SOOOO MUCH to us and our new Shed to House channel!! So many more videos coming!!!
I TOTALLY get it! We live in a 16x48 cabin on 7 acres. You can see it all here: ruclips.net/video/xnLRPmVZO0g/видео.htmlsi=1fBq5u5exKG8kENg And then here is a full tour of our house: ruclips.net/video/wXb_mIG00LI/видео.htmlsi=1wrSPj8YOk3zNbPK
Also, you cannot alter the building at all if you're doing a monthly payment. You have to pay it off first before you can even insulate it. At least that's how it is at alot of places in michigan.
My hubby and I are stuck in an Old Mobile home that's rotting, moldy and falling apart. We have land, but no money to fix up a 1950's Mobile home. I want to light my home on fire then buy one of these two story sheds for us. He's 42 and I'm 38. Both our kids are adults and we want to live a simple tiny life with a small foot print. This shed would be PERFECTO!
This is exactly what I was going to say. Whether in an area prone to hurricanes, tornados, straight-line winds, earthquakes, or other natural phenomena, building codes are there for the protection of the people living in a structure. While the guy in this video might be able to build something safe for his family to live in, there are many, many people who don’t care about that or don’t have the knowledge or skill necessary to build something that’s safe for habitation. Someone could install something incorrectly and endanger his children. Improper electrical wiring could cause a fire. An improperly installed propane tank could cause the building to explode. There are SO many reasons to want building codes and inspections, especially for a residence or rental property.
Oh man, I am sorry to hear that. Well we would love to help you get setup with a Shed to House. Send us an email to bettertogetherlife@gmail.com once you find a piece of land!
Nice video bud! been wondering how do you guys and other alt/tiny home guys manage bathroom and kitchen plumbing waste water grey and sewer so on so on? composing toilets I hear are a common option but no one seams to mention grey. septic tank systems where crazy expensive the last time I looked into it.
I haven't seen these in a long time and I have tried to order one but I was told they were discontinued. So it was super cool but now, with all the BS going on in the housing market you can't get them.
Just build a steel barn and build inside of that a second floor. or open high ceiling plan. 700 sq is like 20k. I been thinking of doing this on a property I have but this price seems higher than what I remembered. it's nice though. you have to bring this to a planning board and it now requires a fire suppressant system which Im told is about 2000 bucks. most states require this now. how much for rock-board and puddy and fiberglass insulation? do you need it in the ceiling only or the walls too?
You still need to include the concrete slab to place it in, permits to install it, plumbing for city water and sewer, and electrical to hooked to the grid, Just buying the building is the start of it.
Absolutely Jodi! In fact have you seen our actual home that we have lived in for the last 5 years? Here is our tour: 800sqft Shed to House Conversion Tour ruclips.net/video/wXb_mIG00LI/видео.html
@@shedtohouseyeah they have or had a one room downstairs and one room upstairs. I almost bought one. Then came my mother and father in laws place it's a one bedroom cottage and has everything you need. 73
Not sure what you question is. If you want to flush a toilet and have a dishwasher, you will need plumbing. Or if you want a composting toilet you won’t need a septic. If you want to have lights, then you’ll want electrical. If you want to be “off grid”, then you will need solar and batteries. Ask me more questions if I didn’t understand.
Americam housing has gotten so expensive, the market needs more houses under 1000SF that are affordable, but investors don't want to build them because the money isn't there on small properties.
I agree! But yet now there are companies like United Portable Buildings that are filling this gap!!! The only thing is you have to be in the southern states, and need to find land without building codes. Mainly just so you can build SMALL. They are still safe structures.
After buying the plumbing, electrical, and insulation being done it'll cost as much as a modular! This site doesn't tell you the most exspensive part is those three things not to mention finished walls!!!!
Well if you go with United Portable Buildings, you wouldn’t even need to connect them. You could build a 20x60 if you wanted to!! Https://shedview.goupb.com/?dealer=1504
I know that United Portable Buildings can make them 20ft wide, by how ever LONG you want! So a 20x60ft building would give you a 1200sqft footprint. And then with a second story you have yourself a 2400sqft home!! Wow! Let me know if you have any other questions! 😁
They did, as far as Tuff Shed goes. My local Home Depot has had one sitting in their parking lot for years as demo. Won’t sell it at a discount (or at all since there’s no SKU for it now). They’ll just tear it apart and haul it to the dump
Before covid 2018 $24,880 After covid, after record inflation, after corporate America making record profits, fuel surcharges and just because they can $78,880
NOT AVAILABLE IN ALL AREAS! Also Cheaper To Build On Site By About Half! I Live in the Panhandle of Florida. Not Available in MY Area. To Build On Site, it Would Cost Less Than $15,000! IF I Build It Myself, It would Cost even Less! YES, I know Not everyone Can Build. Some Still Learn and DO it themselves. IF They Have The Time! YOUR Situation Will Vary!
Be careful! Doing this may be unlawful in your state. Some people bought a shed and were going to live in it temporarily until they got their house built. The state they were in stopped them. These sheds are sometimes not built to dwelling structural standards. I did notice there are no grade stamps on the structural members in this video. That is a big NO!
Cant have those in California, they will triple the price and also give some away to the homeless . ruining the whole idea for everyone like we always do here.
in 2023 this would be worth like 1 million Canadian pesos...i work 50hrs a week and i'm a professional and even then ...i'm not sure i could afford to live in this alone i'd probably have to get someone to stick around and pay his half...
Shoot, just hook it up with some electricity and some AC units and you're feckin golden. After that it's just furnishing and electronics. Perfect tiny home.
We have two Tuff Shed offices in our backyard. I was able to design the first one myself and the awesome Home Depot rep configured it for me on the computer. Our county code enforcement dept came out to approve both of them. I put up the insulation, walls and flooring. An electrician put in electricity. A handyman put in our air conditioners. I painted the buildings. Tuff Shed installed the windows, doors, and roofs. Tuff Shed sent out two Master Carpenters to replicate the first office for our second office. They both are very strongly built. Oh did I forget to tell you that I am a senior citizen woman...lol! If I can do it so can you!
Oh that is so awesome to hear!!! Way to go! And of course thank you for sharing your amazing shed to house story!!!
If you ever would like to be highlighted on one of our videos, please send me an email at: bettertogetherlife@gmail.com
Thanks!
You only pay $30,000 that includes labor fixing your tiny home ?
cost for each?
@AssurPete $10,000 for each shell and about $15,000 completed.
Wow!!!!
ive had a tough shed 2 story for 15 years paid 5k for it and put the loft in myself for an additional 500. its still going strong. they build nice sheds
Oh that’s so awesome to hear! Glad you’ve had a great experience with them.
The title of this video is misleading. I expected to see the actual conversation of the shed. Disappointed.☹️
I’m very sorry, still trying to find one of these being converted. Once I find one I’ll definitely film it! 👍🏻
You too I was also thinking the same
Out here in Arizona the state stopped them from selling the 2 story version. The loft space cannot have a head clearance over 5 ft. The state wants you to pay a ton of extra money to build a second floor.
That is the dumbest thing ever. 🤦🏼♂️
fuck
Move out of that shit hole cesspool of a state.
When conservatives bitch about "regulations" these are the kinds of them that should be examples. I'm not sure if that's a state regulation or a more local municipal one, though.
Well... there goes my plans...for now.
I've seen a lot of videos regarding this particular shed and how great it could be, yet I haven't once seen anyone show a finished out home.
I am trying to find one Lori, but you are correct.
@@shedtohouse Thanks! I'm curious to see one if you find it.
You betcha! 😁
@@shedtohousethese folks appear to have done it:

If you want to live without codes, look for places without natural disasters. In defense of California building codes, 5.* earthquakes that leave thousands dead in other places just knock some stuff off shelves in California. There's also the fire recommendations that should be codes. When you see blocks of burnt-down devastation and one house still standing in the midst of it, that's somebody who actually took the fire recommendations seriously.
Know your area. Know your perils. Plan accordingly. If you live in tornado alley, build a cellar. If you live in a flood zone, build on a rise. The first code of design is that it should be survivable.
I like that, “know your perils”! Haha.
Thanks a bunch!!
Ah. Good point of view. 💯🥺👌🏾
When you see blocks of burnt down homes with one still standing it's because a DEW (Directed Energy Weapon) missed it's target, either on purpose or due to an error.
@@IceLynneI see you're one of those who feels helpless before a massive overarching conspiracy with godlike powers. It's not your fault. You have been groomed to believe in this by lesser, clumsier powers who don't have the resources to develop actual directed energy weapons but who want to frighten you anyway into a state where you can be easily manipulated.
These lesser powers are sort of like Saruman in the end of The Lord of the Rings (book version, not movie version) where it was said that he had only one power left: the power of his voice. You have been lied to. These lies will often incorporate bits of truth (DEW is possible, but not economically feasible) to make them more believable. Different groups in different social bubbles are told different fearsome things--for instance Muslims will be told that Christians and Jews are out to persecute them, Christians and Jews will be told that Muslims and atheists are out to persecute them, atheists will be told that Christians and Muslims are out to persecute them, so that all might act scared and suspicious of each other, reinforcing the fear in each other. That's just one example.
This is because the Cold War, and the subsequent fall of the USSR, showed that America can't be defeated from outside financially or militarily. The only way to defeat us is to persuade us to turn against ourselves. Our power has been that we are the UNITED States of America--we have always derived our strength from our diverse population working together, and the synergy that comes of that. Only two other countries are as diverse: India, which is weakened by all their different groups fighting amongst each other, and the Russian Federation, which has been weakened by suppressing its diversity. If those who hate us can turn our greatest strength into a weakness, we will fall out of the picture.
These lies have come out of Russia, China and Iran, with a bit from North Korea. They're not so much working together as stealing ideas from each other and hijacking each other's efforts to reap benefits for themselves.
Nobody wants to conquer us per se. The logistics would be impossible, as we have allies to the north and south and oceans to either side (although they are working hard to convince us that our southern ally is an enemy.) But they want us to become too feeble to venture from our continent and help our allies abroad, so that they can do whatever they want to their neighbors. They want us to cease to be the world's strongest nation. Hopefully, they'd like to see us dissolve altogether and just cease to bug them.
They are lying to you. They post fake pictures to convince you, like a photo that claimed to show a DEW beam from space igniting Hawaii. The picture in fact showed a harmless rare light phenomenon, photographed in Montana, of a focused light beam, caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere. The wild conifers, in varieties typical of the Northwestern United States, should have been a tip-off that this was not Hawaii.
They will mention real things taken completely out of context, like the Kyoto Accords warning that if we don't curb global climate change we could see an 80% drop in the population by 2050. They will twist this to claim that a satanic conspiracy wants to reduce the population by 80% by 2050. If you see part of the comment out of the whole context, you could be deceived.
Another trick is to take old events and make them sound like they're happening now. For instance, reporting that miles of city blocks had burned down due to riots in Portland. And if you do a quick google search you will find numerous article headlines confirming this...except that the articles are all in historical websites, and this happened a hundred years ago.
And then there's the Funny Milk deception. If someone takes a glass of perfectly good milk, takes a sip, makes a face, and then hands it to you asking, "Do you think this milk tastes funny?" you are likely to taste undertones to the flavors that you normally don't notice, and conclude that the milk has gone bad. In the same way a deceiver can set a context for you that makes you think something is off that is not. For instance, Wayfair Market often gives girl names to various designs of furniture, and prices them for an upscale market. I've met people deceived into believing that actual girls with those names are being smuggled inside the furniture (eve furniture with no room to smuggle anybody inside) because the prices are more than people on working-class salaries would pay.
As for the idea of a massive conspiracy run by a whole host of satanic elites, it couldn't work. It would require too many narcissists (because who else wants to rule the world?) to work harmoniously for generations. Narcissists don't play well together. They each want to be the only boss in the room. They will make fragile alliances, but these never last longer than a few years at best before they turn on each other. Xi, for instance, has already backstabbed Putin, two years after declaring their friendship without limits. No way can they cooperate long enough to develop DEWs.
I could go on. It's all psy-ops. Learn about logic fallacies, sound research techniques, and the manipulation techniques that might be used against you, to spot these trolls. They have no power that we don't hand them.
Good luck, friend.
@@DoloresJNurss 😂 😂 😂 😂 I knew if I made the right comment I could out you for the nut case you are! lol. That was way too easy 😂 😂
Full bath in upstairs suite, with stacked laundry and 1/4 bath under the stairs, open living area with kitchen,3' off the ground with covered wrap around deck , I'm in!!😊😊😊
Love it Edward!!! Great additions!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly except I would go with an all n one washer/dryer combo.
I would want a separate washer and dryer. I like to start the second load while the first load is drying. The washing machines they make today take twice as long to do a load of clothes. The wash cycle should not take longer than 25 minutes to do. But they say they are saving energy. Hog Wash! 73
That sounds nice👍
On the note of buying land, look for land that has an old rundown trailer on it. Most people don't to hassle with having the old house removed, so you can typically get the land a little below market. Plus, the land already has utilities ran.
EXCELLENT POINT!!!! Love this!
Could I live in that? YES! The secret to tiny home living is have big outside spaces. I built my 16'x24', 384 square feet, tiny home 11yrs ago. Every year I take my tax return money and savings account to do one project per year. I added a 16'x24' attached rear screened in porch, then attached to that a 16'x24' carport, then a 12'x16' shed, then took one quarter of my screened in porch and framed it to be my new bedroom 8'x12', then took my old bedroom 8'x10' and turned it into my laundry, linen, pantry, utility room, then every year I would get one dump truck load of limestone making a 50'x50' parking lot for guest parking, then I cemented under my carport, under my house, and under my porch, then I added a courtyard fence from my front corner of my house to my shed and from my shed rear corner to parallel my house, porch, and carport, both fences totaling 60', then I attached a fire pit awning to my carport to the courtyard fence, it is 16'x33', then I put 1300 stepping stones in my courtyard in a two rows grey and six rows red pattern, and this year I changed out my carport tin roof for new galvalume corrugated metal. All my roofs are the new galvalume corrugated metal except my shed which was made from my grandfather's old shed that is about 50yrs old. Next year I will add 12'x16' to my screened in porch, then the next year after that I will add a roof from my fire pit awning to my shed which will be 20'x20' and then I will make an outdoor kitchen under that roof, then the next year I will put up a lattice roof from my house to shed which will be 15'x15' for a meditation/herb garden with seating and a water feature or water fountain. I already have a hammock under my fire pit awning, and I will add an outdoor shower in the corner of my screened in porch addition and a jetted free-standing tub in the porch also. Then I will take out my tub/shower in my house and put in a custom shower. My point is if you tiny you have to utilize the outside for living spaces, like a screened in porch, outdoor kitchen, covered patio or covered fire pit area. That way you can do it over time and not all at once, its also less to insure as outdoor spaces cost less to insure, repair, and to replace. And you can do the additions over time at your own pace. Now my 400 square foot house is 1800 square foot total and 480 square foot living, but my homeowner's insurance is still only $1,100 per year. It keeps my cost of living low. Now I just have to switch from low efficiency window units to super high efficiency heat pump split ac systems. I like having a window unit as a backup and to help cool down my house in the 117F heat index south Louisiana summers especially if I want to cook in such a small house in that kind of heat.
Wow! This is amazing, Ross! I am planning to purchase some land in south Louisiana and possibly build a tiny home on it like the one shown in the video. I want to do exactly what you have done over time. Thank you for sharing this! It's very inspiring! :)
@@yoshikagarner6655 I would also say that if you buy a tiny home but you feel like one or more rooms are too small, when you add an addition weather attached or not, you can make a bigger version of that room there. Let's say your need a larger bedroom, on your addition you can make a bedroom as big as you want, you just have to insulate the walls, floor and ceiling, wire it with electricity, sheetrock, I recommend shipping lap or asking Home Depot/Lowes for any scrap boards to make into shiplap for your walls and ceiling. I like shiplap over sheetrock because it's easy, just cut, screw, and paint if you want, no skilled labor like with Sheetrock and easy to replace unlike repairs with Sheetrock. Then add a high efficiency heat pump split unit in that room and bam you have a perfect sized bedroom. You can do that with any room you need bigger like a huge laundry room, big outdoor kitchen, out door kitchens are good for in the summer when you don't want to heat up your house or make it smell to much like food like when cooking seafood. Don't have enough room in your bathroom bam add it to one of your additions as big as you want. I will have an outdoor shower in my screened in porch the a jetted free standing tub in my porch so after a long day I can take a shower then get in the jetted tub and watch my fire pit and enjoy a few beers or bourbon on the rocks.
@@yoshikagarner6655 a few things I recommend on your tiny home
1) corrugated galvalume metal, last 50yrs if you paint on cool seal to reseal the screw heads so they don't leak
2) additions add space that can extend your house's space
3) if you want your tiny home to be moveable let's say if you want to take it with you on vacation sometimes, you can make your additions not attached to your home but the home parks in between the additions that are on three of the four sides
4) high efficiency heat pump split units. If you live in the super hot and humid south then I would recommend getting them one size bigger than you need ie, 9000btu needed then get 12,000btu, 12,000 needed then get 18,000. Because when they rate the needed BTUs for a space they do not consider the 5 months when it's 117F heat index and 98% humidity. If it's still too hot in your tiny home also confirm the floor is insulated if not you can pay or go to home Depot and buy the two tank mix and spray high r-value close cell expansion foam under your floor, if still not cold enough I would either add one 9,000 or 12,000 btu window unit to the bedroom and living room to help in the hottest part of the year. Remember the SEER is the efficiency number and the highest you can afford will keep your electric bill lower
5) pay or paint your metal roof with cool seal after installed and then every 10yrs to help seal all the screw heads because the washers dry rot over time and allow wat er rust the screws and allows water under your roof rotting your wood
6) laundry/pantry/utility/linen room can be an insulated, and air conditioned on one of your additions so you can have a huge room to store washer, dryer, standing or chest freezer, huge pantry, all your storage that you want air conditioned and not in a shed
7) outside spaces are key, cover patio, covered fire pit awning, out door kitchen, bigger bathroom, bigger bedroom, guest bedroom, open deck, all can be added to one or all of your additions. If you have the money pay someone, if you DIY them watch RUclips as they have a ton of videos on additions, decks, plumbing, I would just get an electrician for the electric to be safe and a plumber for gas to be safe
8) I recommend putting your tiny home on a cement slab and putting about 5 cinder blocks high for you house to rest on, the slab only needs to be 2" thick but where the load is the footings have to be 16"x16" for load-bearing, confirm with your local building code
9) good luck with your tiny home and remember it takes time and the more time you take the more you live in it the more you realize what you actually do and want to do so you can build to what you want and need. That way it's easy for you to use a creeper to roll under your house for repairs
@RossMalagarie , wow! Thank you! Do you happen to do this kind of work for others, as well, or just for yourself? I am really looking to get home, so I wouldn't have a large mortgage. I want financial freedom from a large mortgage...I just want to live a simple life.
@@yoshikagarner6165 sorry just for my self, I am single, and a fire fighter so to keep my bills down I do everything myself but sorry I don't do constructive for work. I hope you can find a good, inexpensive person to do your work. You may also want to look into Home Depot Tough shed as they can be converted into a house pretty easily by getting with your local building code department and asking before what it would take. It's usually a little bigger floor joists, hurricane straps and that's about it, that way all you have to do is finish the inside, electric, gas, plumbing, shiplap, flooring, painting
Tough Sheds and United Portable Buildings are two good shed that can easily be used for homes just confirm with your local building code department first.
Honestly that space under the stares is perfect to put your shower. Right up against that wall parallel to the second flight underneath. Build out a wall a few feet and put your bathroom sink and toilet right there. Keep the water downstairs. From there put a back door and atleast one window on the back wall. From there, small kitchen, probably on the opposing wall from the stairs. One wall, fridge, counter, cabinets. Done. Everything else is open floor. Figure it out 👍
I would get 2 of those and sit them side by side - one facing forward and the other facing backyard and merge them into a full size home.
Oh wow that is a GREAT IDEA!!!!!
You would need to adjust the roof so water doesn’t pool where the 2 roofs meet. Unless you put the 2 houses in-line with each other.
Correct! Great point!
This house would be huge for me. My house is 16 x 12 single story, stick built not "tough shed", but basically the same thing. It is fully insulated and finished with drywall like any other house, with carpet and vinyl floors. I have an open front room with full kitchen, small dining table, couch and desk. Then there is a full bathroom w/ shower, and two small bedrooms (one has bunk beds). It works fine for me, and would be fine for 2 to 3 people. people need to figure out things are not going to get better, and learn to get out of all these big debt and tax laden city homes. get a spit of rural land _(or several acres if you have the money)_ in a friendly state without all the stupid garbage "codes" and regulations _(such as rural missouri/ozark mountains)_ , get something like this in the video or smaller, and a wood stove while they still can. just my 2 cents
This sounds AWESOME!!! Love it!
how do you get 2 bedrooms in a 16x12?
@kirksway1 they're very small 🙂 like my queen bed is surrounded on 3 sides by the back and side walls. Little hard to put the sheets on, but doable. I also have a stand alone closet built into the front corner of the bedroom. Next to the closet is the door that opens into this main bedroom, and then the other room has its own door just inside. Its not a perfect setup, but it works. and its just me here anyway. I just use the other room for extra clothes and such, but there are two bunk beds there if needed.
I might bolt on a second, much smaller, shed to the back to hold the bathroom/laundry. Working with the manufacturer, you could probably add a second story to the smaller shed for a second story bathroom.
Leo this is an EXCELLENT idea!!!! Now I want to do this!!!!
Spray foam every little nook and cranny in that thing, and it'd probably be very very easy to keep warm. Power bill would probably be less than $60 a month in that, easily, and that's assuming you've got a small sound system, computer, large TV, or something. Could get a mini split for heat/AC. Have one vented upstairs, and one vented downstairs.
Absolutely!!!!! Love it!
Very thorough and helpful construction and stylish Shed Plans! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG Numerous examples of different shed styles . Other may feature more styles, but this was the best Ryan's Shed Plans I found that gave a good sampling and a lot of good information about actually constructing a shed.
Hmm
I live in California in an unpermitted dwelling. It's two Tuff Sheds with a section in between and a few other rooms off one end. In Kern County, where I live, they don't seem to care what you do in unincorporated areas of the county.
Oh AWESOME!!!!!
This and a few acres, life is good
You know it!!!
I believe in Massachusetts if you buy land that doesn't have anything built on it you just have to have it rezoned for either commercial or residential which takes some time
Wow, that’s a bummer.
Southern New England is mostly like this
This is actually how some houses are in the Philippines.
oh wow, that's super cool!!!!
just from the first minute of the video, I would say yes, looks like the perfect amount of space for me lol
Awesome! So glad you liked it!!!!
i havent even watched a second of this, and yes, yes i would live in that
Hahaha, Holly you would LOVE IT!!!! And you can check out our actual house tour here on the channel. There you can see how we converted our 16x48 shed.
Thanks!!!
When I was in Alabama I watched a guy buy one on a few acres. About a year later I saw him out there putting a brick facade on it. Looked like a small house.
Oh wow!!! Adding brick would make this legit!!!!
Get 2 and join them side by side and you got a big 2 bedroom full kitchen and full living room house 😊
That is a FANTASTIC IDEA!!!!
@@shedtohouseyes you would call it a double wide shed. Lots of possibilities. 73
🤣🤣. I like it!
@@shedtohouse The single is already bigger then most peoples 1 bedroom apartments nowadays lol
You can even have a single master staircase this way
I been in one at home Depot in Blairsville GA. Also the one room each floor model. I liked the one room version better there was one at the Home Depot in Blue Ridge GA that had log siding. Good choice if you zoning jurisdiction allows them. 73
You could absolutely turn that into an amazing tiny house, and you really wouldn't have to pour a crapload into it to make it habitable. I like the wooden look, so I would insulate the walls and hammer wooden boards back on them; I'd leave the celing alone since I think it looks great as is. Those floor planks would make great places to post pictures and other decorations. Obviously I'd need plumbing, and would have to add a servicable bathroom and kitchen; along with water and septic systems to go with them. I'd probably go with a rainwater assisted tank. As for getting power to the home, I would definitely go off grid with solar. I'm seriously going to look into this.
So glad I bought my building in 2018!! It is only a workshop but really nice. Most places in WV do not have codes........to bad you are so far away!! Thx
Oh absolutely!!! Yes it is way better now than in 2018!
$30,000 and no one complaining about the price . It's a shed .
It’s a lot of money, yes. Inflation is killing us all!!
Then add the cost to build a kitchen, build a bathroom, insulate walls & ceiling, finish the walls & ceiling, heat & cool, land to put it on.... Have to have electricity, water/well and a sewer/septic. $60k-$90k and you still live in a shed.
@@JohnOBryan So at that point the only difference between the "shed" and a "house" is: square footage.
Great walk through
Oh thank you so much Dolores!!! I really do appreciate you watching and commenting. It helps out this new channel SOOOO MUCH!!!!!
This is the first time I've seen, much less heard, about a two story shed. I had no idea that was even a thing.
I'd live in one of those. Hell, I'm gonna build that design in Ark.
This would be epic for the kids to move out but stay on the property
Absolutely!!!
I would love that as a man cave. Upstairs for my collectibles & downstairs as a home gym
Absolutely!!
That first interior shot made me think of the Riverwood Trader building in Skyrim, legit, put a fireplace in the center, some tables and chairs, and a long counter with shelves behind it, and boom there it is
That’s so awesome!
I did except it was a single story. It was the cabin in the woods while I house hunted.
I wouldn’t live in one full time though.
That price is pretty high for unfinished space.
Great points!! Thank you soooo much for watching and for commenting. It really does mean SOOOO MUCH to us and our new Shed to House channel!!
So many more videos coming!!!
I've lived in a school bus for 5 years all 4 seasons. I would kill for a couple acres and a 16x40 cabin.
I TOTALLY get it! We live in a 16x48 cabin on 7 acres. You can see it all here:

And then here is a full tour of our house:
ruclips.net/video/wXb_mIG00LI/видео.htmlsi=1wrSPj8YOk3zNbPK
Also, you cannot alter the building at all if you're doing a monthly payment. You have to pay it off first before you can even insulate it. At least that's how it is at alot of places in michigan.
Depending on wind zone ratings and city and zoning areas even in the backwoods. Snow rating so think and buy accordingly.
Great point. Thank you for your input for sure!!!
I would most definitely like to live in one these, because the house I have now is falling apart and it would take about 50k to fix.
Oh yikes Jeffery I am so sorry. That horrible. 😕
My hubby and I are stuck in an Old Mobile home that's rotting, moldy and falling apart. We have land, but no money to fix up a 1950's Mobile home. I want to light my home on fire then buy one of these two story sheds for us. He's 42 and I'm 38. Both our kids are adults and we want to live a simple tiny life with a small foot print. This shed would be PERFECTO!
Heck yes. I would love something like that.
That’s great David, thank you and glad you liked it!!!
All I needed to hear was "here in Texas" to become a new subscriber...
Haha, love it!
I live in a hurricane zone in the south where they have strict building codes. There are reasons to have building codes.
This is exactly what I was going to say. Whether in an area prone to hurricanes, tornados, straight-line winds, earthquakes, or other natural phenomena, building codes are there for the protection of the people living in a structure.
While the guy in this video might be able to build something safe for his family to live in, there are many, many people who don’t care about that or don’t have the knowledge or skill necessary to build something that’s safe for habitation. Someone could install something incorrectly and endanger his children. Improper electrical wiring could cause a fire. An improperly installed propane tank could cause the building to explode. There are SO many reasons to want building codes and inspections, especially for a residence or rental property.
Yea, I probably wouldn’t want to live in one of these on the coast. I agree.
So do I - and if you’re in the county, you can do as you please.

@@WaitWhatsMyName pretty much...
That 37.4% interest on the financing is wild.
I certainly would NOT do that.
Nice video bud! been wondering how do you guys and other alt/tiny home guys manage bathroom and kitchen plumbing waste water grey and sewer so on so on? composing toilets I hear are a common option but no one seams to mention grey. septic tank systems where crazy expensive the last time I looked into it.
Thank you so much!!! Yup, there are so many things says to build these out!
These are $8000 for 1 floor and 2 bed loft in North Carolina...a 2 floor would probably be $12000. $30,000 is utterly preposterous as hell
That’s a great deal!!!!
I want a comfortable tiny home . Not one where i feel like its only a path . But nice idea just need a bit bigger
I haven't seen these in a long time and I have tried to order one but I was told they were discontinued. So it was super cool but now, with all the BS going on in the housing market you can't get them.
i could use this as a personnel gym for my 4 acre yard.
Nice!!!!
Thank you.
You bet!!!!! Thank you too for watching!
Just build a steel barn and build inside of that a second floor. or open high ceiling plan. 700 sq is like 20k. I been thinking of doing this on a property I have but this price seems higher than what I remembered. it's nice though. you have to bring this to a planning board and it now requires a fire suppressant system which Im told is about 2000 bucks. most states require this now. how much for rock-board and puddy and fiberglass insulation? do you need it in the ceiling only or the walls too?
Oh wow, 700sqft for only $20k??? That’s not bad at all!
Thanks Pete!!
Absolutely, hopeful for the property to put it on Selah.
just need to add insolation drywall electrical outlets and plumbing and yeah a decent house for probabaly under 60k
Absolutely Steven!!! You are so right!
You still need to include the concrete slab to place it in, permits to install it, plumbing for city water and sewer, and electrical to hooked to the grid, Just buying the building is the start of it.
Don’t need permits in many rural counties! At least down in the south.
😁👍🏻

Surprisingly enough, this shed is actually a little TO BIG for me. 😂

@@shedtohouseyeah they have or had a one room downstairs and one room upstairs. I almost bought one. Then came my mother and father in laws place it's a one bedroom cottage and has everything you need. 73
yes
Haha, that’s so awesome!!! Thanks for watching and the comment Mage!!!!
Is it possible to insure these properties? What is permitting like?
what about plumbing and electrical?
Not sure what you question is. If you want to flush a toilet and have a dishwasher, you will need plumbing. Or if you want a composting toilet you won’t need a septic.
If you want to have lights, then you’ll want electrical. If you want to be “off grid”, then you will need solar and batteries.
Ask me more questions if I didn’t understand.
What’s the sq ft? It’s cute. What would it cost to hav 2 baths

I looked at home depot and didn’t see it there, does anyone know if this model is still being made?? Please and thank you if anyone knows
What state do you live in?
Love it.
Americam housing has gotten so expensive, the market needs more houses under 1000SF that are affordable, but investors don't want to build them because the money isn't there on small properties.
I agree! But yet now there are companies like United Portable Buildings that are filling this gap!!!
The only thing is you have to be in the southern states, and need to find land without building codes. Mainly just so you can build SMALL. They are still safe structures.
Would this be easy to build on ur own ?
i cant find these even online?? do they still make them?
You can build one here:
Https://shedview.goupb.com/?dealer=1504
I am a big guy so I would probably buy tw0 put them together and drop the wall
That is a GREAT IDEA!!! Thanks so much Drake!
After buying the plumbing, electrical, and insulation being done it'll cost as much as a modular! This site doesn't tell you the most exspensive part is those three things not to mention finished walls!!!!
i looked into doing this but came out just as cheap to have someone do the rought shell of a house.
Oh really! That would be a great contact to know!!!
id get 2 and connect them
That would be Awesome!!!!!
Can I buy 4 or 5 of them and build them together?
Well if you go with United Portable Buildings, you wouldn’t even need to connect them. You could build a 20x60 if you wanted to!!
Https://shedview.goupb.com/?dealer=1504
You know America is in decay when your dream home is a tuff shed.
Not a bad point.
How big do they make these?
I know that United Portable Buildings can make them 20ft wide, by how ever LONG you want! So a 20x60ft building would give you a 1200sqft footprint. And then with a second story you have yourself a 2400sqft home!! Wow!
Let me know if you have any other questions! 😁
I thought they discontinued this shed
You can get it here: Https://shedview.goupb.com/?dealer=1504
They did, as far as Tuff Shed goes. My local Home Depot has had one sitting in their parking lot for years as demo. Won’t sell it at a discount (or at all since there’s no SKU for it now). They’ll just tear it apart and haul it to the dump
Why is there no joist hangers? Already a big code violation.
Not sure Darth. But there isn’t code violation when there aren’t any building codes.
OF COURSE THE JOIST SIT ON THE TOP PLATES LOL
Well there are some buildings that have a sleeping loft where the joists don’t sit on the top plate.
So I just always want people to be aware. 👍🏻
I would not pay $3,000 for a porch and you can bill it yourself

Thanks for the AMAZING comment!! 😁👍🏻
Be careful! Doing this may be unlawful in your state. Some people bought a shed and were going to live in it temporarily until they got their house built. The state they were in stopped them. These sheds are sometimes not built to dwelling structural standards. I did notice there are no grade stamps on the structural members in this video. That is a big NO!
Would be over $120K to do all that and that doesn’t include plumbing or electricity or sewer
Why would you say that? I can get a price from a company not even close to that.
Cant have those in California, they will triple the price and also give some away to the homeless . ruining the whole idea for everyone like we always do here.
Such a shame, vote for change by leaving the state and giving your talents to another state!
in 2023 this would be worth like 1 million Canadian pesos...i work 50hrs a week and i'm a professional and even then ...i'm not sure i could afford to live in this alone i'd probably have to get someone to stick around and pay his half...
No, you are working with them because they gave you the building.
Nope. I began working with them in 2018. I never got a building from them until 2020.
But good try.
And that's just for the shed. Not furniture, hooking electricity up to it, insulation. Oof.
Well, the furniture parts is obvious. Most apartments don’t come with furniture.
Easy…💪🏿
Haha, love it!!!
Wow I built the same thing myself for 8700 dollars with interior finished. Don't be lazy do it yourself
Niiiiice!!!! Way to go!!
Is that how much it cost you ?
süper 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇹🇷
Thanks a bunch!!!!
Lol before got it so it's 100 k now for that shed
Shoot, just hook it up with some electricity and some AC units and you're feckin golden. After that it's just furnishing and electronics. Perfect tiny home.
