Wooooahhh. Seriously the most inventive use of this space yet. Nice job, Christopher Richards. I can see a mini winter greenhouse space off the kitchen that moves onto the patio in summer - and a good space for a little cylinder stove or something. Deserts get cold too.
Thank you so much! I'm having a blast with this project :) love your ideas; it has been fun trying to create a space that's suitable to cold winters and hot summers. I've winterized my swing wall for the season which has helped a lot with thermal value :)
@@chrisr4065 Hellooo, Christopher. Hope you're doing well! I was wondering if you've made any progress since this video went up. I would love to see it. :-)
@@cleoharper1842 hi, cleo! I've made huge progress since this video! I have some photos I could email you if you would like :) I have also posted an ad on Albuquerque Craigslist as I have a killer job opportunity back east and would love for someone to get more & sooner use of the cabin/property. My email is christopherthesage@gmail.com 🌻
@@chrisr4065 Oh man how come this comment never reached me?? I'll bet that Craigslist ad is long gone. Glad to hear about your job, congratulations! I hope it goes to a good home. If there's still a chance to see the pictures I would love to! As I've said before your take on this plan is my favorite.
@@cleoharper1842 I appreciate you, Cleo! No worries at all, I ended up getting my asking price, but I do still have some photos of how it turned out. The cabin went to a good fellow who will get better immediate use out of it than I will. I'm thinking about a storage container in Taos next :) My email is christopherthesage@gmail.com :)
Christopher is doing a great job on his A-frame. I'm excited that you have another book out, Deek. I still look at and use your first book as a #goals book. I hope to one day have a little tiny house village. I will definitely get this new book. Thanks for posting. : )
@@relaxshacksDOTcom You are so welcome. Can't wait for the new book to arrive. (I always take book 1 with me when I get a chance for hammock time...and daydream of having a relax shack some day.) Thanks. : )
I feel ya on the storage. I’ve been in my SUV for two years so a tiny house would be upsizing. I don’t have enough stuff to fill one. I like seeing videos featuring people with little to no construction experience. Gives hope to all of us average enthusiasts without a “handy” relative. The only power tool I’ve used is a drill. My tiny building projects experience has involved letting Home Depot cut all the wood for me at no charge. I wonder if I could get away with that building a tiny house? 🤔 BTW, I have all your books Deek. Keep ‘em coming, they’re all great.
I mean the only other power tool I would even feel was a big asset for these is a skill saw lol, and there are so few cuts you could get by with a handsaw made for wood
This is a great idea to do half and half of the transforming part and of the permanent bump out. Also, I like the idea of adding on the sides. If you could put a gable on the backside for a door way, you wouldn't need a door on the bedroom end. You could make a very small bathroom and bedroom. Another thing, if you had a ladder to the loft, you could have a transforming bump out above the permanent one and use it as the roof of the permanent structure as a porch. Hmm. I think that I am going to have to build it and show it to you.
I love the idea :) I'm thinking to try and keep the desert out of the cabin, I'm going to make a little "mudroom" build-off where the door is currently located. I put the door on the bedroom side for security and better access to other structures on the property :)
Deek, usually use of the phrase "smash that like button" guarantees I will not but l made an exception for the keeping-it-real tongue in cheek delivery. I appreciate your continuous originality. Also, when will you publish the underground sleeper video? I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for that since the first sketch! Now this tease?! Keep up the good work.
Coming soon- I FINALLY finished the plans- they are up and running on the site. For the underground sleeper I filmed SO MUCH of the build that the edit is taking awhile..... thanks for watching!
I'm almost there when I retire , it's very nice little place ,I'm just wondering how to keep creatures from going under the house , when I built mine that's going to be my biggest concern
@@DesertHeat12 I was not planning on posting anything myself, but I may get excited and have to :) check out Socorro county: no zoning laws/building codes & land goes pretty cheap out there
@@chrisr4065 I can imagine you will! I love Socorro county, have a burger for me at the Buckhorn! Maybe we will be neighbors one day...as the raven flies! I'm stuck in upstate NY for a couple more years, but I visit NM frequently!
I'm about $5000 in and all that is left is detailing the interior and furnishing. I basically bought everything from home depot and had to 86 the swingwall, so you can definitely do it cheaper.

Not as sure if you thought about this but she could even go as far as to make your storage Los big enough to wear if you did have someone you could have a mattress a small mattress like one of those yoga size mattresses the ones that are long like when we were kids and have that where you could have an extra person sleep up there just in case or maybe even two
We haven't- thats why I was joking about it/making fun of myself for randomly using it out of the blue (though I do have A LOT of southern friends)..... Anyway, thanks for checking it out.
Plans for the original version of the A-frame can be found here- and thanks for watching! relaxshacks.myshopify.com/collections/all
How I can build a 10 x 13 cabin the woods of desmoines / Ankeny iowa. Any advice for me
But he has that property and if so, he pays more taxes and are under state regulation?
Deek I would love to see a double sized version of your A-frame plans!
Wooooahhh.

Cool idea for permanent living space. Love what you are doing.
Here is a another LIKE for the inspiring content and your bilingual skills.
Muchas gracias Francisco! Espero que lo estás haciendo bien
Great Job!! This is REALLY inspiring! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love the book! Starting a build in 29 Palms.. I feel more confident now.
This is very cool and yeah, you can say you have experience now! Truly awesome build. Thank you for sharing..
It looks nice. Thanks for sharing!!

yeah I was pondering something similar :D gives more space but keep the charm of the A-frame

Do you happen to have an update on his house? I am gathering ideas for a tiny home for myself.

Fantastic build!
Nice work, I think it will turn out fantastic :)
Small space HAMMOCK ! Nice home.
awesome mod. i like the build-out as a sleeping nook. i wonder, could you theoretically do another build-out opposite?
Why not :)
Some day
Where's the basement I love the idea, seems confining, happy building,
I'm almost there when I retire , it's very nice little place ,I'm just wondering how to keep creatures from going under the house , when I built mine that's going to be my biggest concern
Are the plans user friendly to alter it to heighten the ceiling to a 14-16 ft ceiling?
Just wondering what the total height of this would be? Is it enough to do a loft bedroom at the top?
Just under 12ft. Definitely could do a bedroom up top, but it would literally be only a bed in the room, and probably no more than a twin.
Is there a update in 2021
Curious to know what you will ultimately put on the outside? I know what that New Mexican sun does to wood, especially OSB. :)
I went with some simple cedar smart side :)
@@chrisr4065 will you be posting when it's all finished. Looking at doing something similar and looking around at land options in NM as well :)
@@DesertHeat12 I was not planning on posting anything myself, but I may get excited and have to :) check out Socorro county: no zoning laws/building codes & land goes pretty cheap out there

What was the total $$ for the supplies doing two of these structures?
I'm about $5000 in and all that is left is detailing the interior and furnishing. I basically bought everything from home depot and had to 86 the swingwall, so you can definitely do it cheaper.
Love this! Thanks
That things gotta be a sauna in the summer.
i have no experience what so ever BUT I want to build a tiny house in the desert

I would only put Chests of Drawers on Vertical Walls.
Estimated cost??
Update on this young mans cabin?
Not as sure if you thought about this but she could even go as far as to make your storage Los big enough to wear if you did have someone you could have a mattress a small mattress like one of those yoga size mattresses the ones that are long like when we were kids and have that where you could have an extra person sleep up there just in case or maybe even two
what is his channel name?
Nice human oven
when did mass start using "y'all"? 😳
We haven't- thats why I was joking about it/making fun of myself for randomly using it out of the blue (though I do have A LOT of southern friends)..... Anyway, thanks for checking it out.

You could also build yourself a bathroom with a composting toilet
