Converting a Tuff Shed into a Tiny House | DIY Summer project | Glamping in style

- Camping in style, making a Tuff Shed into a luxury cabin/BUNKHOUSE. Why camp in a tent, 200 square feet for glamping. Watch this DIY summer project converting a simple shed to a deluxe living space for the family to camp in.
Now you have seen it can be done, Do It Yourself (DIY). Build a Tiny House just for the kicks of it. Now don't trust me, Watch a Youube, then copy what they say. It wont work, but you still find a way to do it. No matter what it will show, it will take 10 time longer then a professional, but you aint paying for there labor. A DIY person sticks it out and finishes . Also, we are cheap, inexpensive labor. That why we do it. :-)

Every time I see those big sheds I think, "That's big enough for a house." Thanks for showing me how to do it.
your welcome, have a great day
Two things to keep in mind. Seal everything and replace the windows.
Thnx for the good advise, I put in double pain windows and sealed everything. You are correct on this. Thnx for the comment
That depends on where you live, I live in just north of Tucson in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains and there's no need to replace the windows because the weather is mostly mild and even when it gets "hot" there's always a breeze coming down off the mountains.
@@TheREALOC1972 Thnx for the info. Have a great day.
If its in North Country and gonna be used in winter, dont seal it too tight, keep some airflow or it will mold out. Cabin fever...
@@jimtoohey7242 yep, gotta do that i the desert to for air flow
Re-using painters tape. This is a man after my own heart. Frugality at its best.
EDIT: Watched further and see it is your WIFE who is being frugal. Very nice.
Building your own of anything feels so liberating!
clears the mind and work always feels good when its done.
And ........ CHEAPER!!!!!!!
I prefer hotels.
Not bad. I did this but with lots more in 2015. Totally off grid, 27 miles from a power source' In Flagstaff az. It's in the paper. Used 400 watts of solar from renergy solar And build my own system. Same system is still working today Only upgraded to 600. Refrigerator freezer, TV, Fans and led lights. Cast iron woodburning stove. Queen size bed in the loft. 196 Square feet perfect for 2. Also used energy seal blown in Self expanding foam. Same green foam used in the baby's rooms in the hospital. Totally amazing and adds 30% ragidity to the structure. Removed the aluminum windows and add a double pane gas filled vinyl windows. Big improvement. Good start guys have fun. I did for 3 and a 1/2 years before I sold it and moved. Oh and total cost $15,000 not including property. Sold for over $180k. Off grid ❤️
cool, I am glad it worked out for you. I am in it around 20K without the property, costs have gone up
Very nice. Inspiring, thank you. I would like to do the same in Tennessee. I'm going to build in a very remote, rural location, completely off-grid, also. A Batchelor pad for myself and my dog. Another out building/garage for the truck, ATV, and storage of supplies. I can't wait. Saving my money now....
They've got you on infra red.
Last yr, my son's friend bought this and we wired it for him in a weekend! Elec hot water tank went under the stair landing. Elec Panel was above that with elec service meter on the N end of the building. Circuits went up through upper and lower stair well walls. Toilet, shower, was under stairs, 30" door on rt end. Kitchen cabinets from stair to bathroom door. Wood stove in S. back corner of liv room. Mini/split AC N end, next to elec service. Upstairs big bedroom and sleeper/sofa down stairs for company. His Tuff Shed roof sagged and walls spread after heavy rains! We pulled the walls back in with come-alongs, Bolted steel cables thru the wall headers, next to each roof rafter with turn buckles in the center for adjusting. Then added an L shaped brace above the ceiling and short vertical 2x4's bracing the center ridge. Building wouldn't have passed a framing inspection as-is but the guys who built the kit weren't framers and there was no inspections out in the country... Glad we caught it in the elec rough in stage!
sounds like a learning project. thanx for your story. others can learn from it. Have a wonderful day.
@@FearlessRambler Roof trusses prevent the spreading effect. But open roof rafters werent secured to ceiling joists... We fixed it for him...
Love the gun up in the loft lol. Essential.
yep, when you up no where, you dont know the type of critters that might be roaming around (LOL), have a great day
I plan on owning a ranch in the future and building little cabins/cottages and for some reason this man is like the grandfather I never had.
Thats a great dream, thanx for sharing
Shanty Town...Nice! If i end up with more Refugee relatives from Los Angeles, i may have to build out a few tiny homes.
i don't like how you referred to this goal as a "shanty town"@@pariahthistledowne3934
“You will own nothing and you will be happy”
The memories of working along with Grandpa building that cabin at his property.
I'm glad at the end of the video you let people know how long it truly takes to build the off-grid cabin
Thanx for the comment, this is a project of endurance, but it it fun seeing it go together. Have a wonderful day
I think it really depends on where you live. My uncles can put this together in 1 week but they’re carpenters in the Bahamas….. just depends.
@@nessforbes7400 UH, ya, In almost any endeavor, location, location, location! And as has been noted by the producer of the vid, the time allotted and to be clever and comical, we do not know what his "real job" is or his other responsibilities are..
Just depends on your time and money. It can be done in 2 or 3 days if you commit your time to it
Using this video as a reference for my own tiny home! Slowly but surely I’m getting off grid
This was a two year project so far. Slow but worth it. Glad to hear you are going off grid
These sheds actually seem nicer than some of the tiny homes. Wouldn't be a bad solution for some homeless people.
I seen something similar they produce up in Portland OR for small dealings for the homeless.
@@FearlessRambler I had heard something like that, but I also heard some of those communities were getting bulldozed which is really cruel.
Ya, the Mayor of Omaha Nebraska is "looking into this".
Who will take little time to trash them…….😮
@@brianjones7660 Blanket assumption much?
Are you ready to build the best chicken coop ever? Then you need this book! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxLum--iPp9YKZ09j1BMdHaBMLkrGfIbcm It has tons of awesome barns and coops that you can choose from, without making you dizzy with too many options. The book is super easy to follow, with lots of pictures and videos to show you how it's done. But don't expect to learn everything about chickens here, this book is all about the structures. You'll have to look elsewhere for chicken care tips. Trust me, this book is a must-have for any chicken lover!
This is what we have done "Tiny House Heating with NO Electricity for OFF-Grid" ruclips.net/video/T5fXSBjAVKA/видео.html . Take a look and have a great day.
I always look at these sheds and think what a great she-shed it would make or a joke that that’s where my dad will go 😆. So so I just have the rifle for the room but hey it’s a start 😆 great video!
It would be a great project for a she-shed. With mountain lions ans bears that go through the property, sometimes you need to be prepared. At least a noise maker. Have a great day.
Little Cabin in the Woods looks great!!! Now you can enjoy your time at the cabin!😜
It will be nice to just sit around and enjoy, thnx for the comment
Such a great build! Great video also. Thank you!
Glad you like it! Thnx for the comment. Have a great dsy.
Your comment at the end of the video gave me hope on my project.... Ive had mind sitting on my property for about 2 years now....... Still waiting to get it started. Soon enough... Ours is a 12x32
I usually just pull the weather stripping out when painting door jambs. I promise it pops back in. Looks fantastic.
That's a great hack, thnk you
Looks like I can only give you one thumbs up. But I did subscribe. Good job.
I appreciate that! More adventure to come. Thanx for watching and subscribing
My friends dad had 3 tiny houses that he did his self for rentals mine was a old shed it was 14W 24L with a full bathroom with tub single story had heat & AC of course no permits I was there 3 years I loved it wish i was still there they were separated on the property nice and quiet
Sounds like a nice tiny house, Thanx for sharing
May I ask what you paid for rent
This is everything I’ve ever wanted in a video
Thnks for this nice comment, have a great day.
1Bluetti AC500 and 3 Bluetti B300S battery solar generator
Great idea 👍
10:13 those are the days I live for fun active day get to settle down fire going ! Hearing insect and the sun going down!
Means it’s a good day! I’m ready for that happiness
Spray foam insulation and double pane windows. I know because i built a tiny mobile cabin out of a shed. You’re also better buying a fridge/freezer cooler like Newair that is built for solar. If you’re doing a mobile build, stay away from drywall. Weight is everything.
Thanx for the great ideas, The frig was bought to do a solar experiment with solar. I will make a vid showing why and how I did it. I will try to justify the cost. If it doesn't work, then a 12V frig it will be.
I look forward to the day when I can do something similar to this.
It would be a fun project for you, have a great day
@Fearless Rambler you have nothing better to do than reply to every Tom, Dick, and Harry in your RUclips comment section? 🤣
@@pattyqubensis8222
Except for you, jackass.
You are one cool hombre.
Thinkin about one of these for a huntin vacay spot. Perfect.
It works well for the weekender and perfect for the huntr
Fantastic video, thank you for sharing. As a Los Angeles resident I can tell you that this could go for about $2000 ~ 3000+/month (minimum) as a rental. Great build!
Thnx, have a great day
yeah...INSANE! My 400 sq ft Studio on 4th floor Walk-up at the Brookmoor in Old Town Pasadena was $425/Month back in '90....and BadaBing! Now it is $2400/month. Mortgage on this 4 Bed Doublewide is $625/Month, on some Family land in the Beautiful Southern Ozarks. ..never would i go back to LA.
Great job . Remember to insulate the deck box and seal everything up to avoid condensation and bug infestation. Very inspiring for a tiny vacation home.
Thank you for you ideas and comment. Bugs are never fun. Have a great day.
Glad you commented. I bought a deck box to hold our bee boxes & etc........ imagine my surprise when I opened it up after winter. Everything in the world made a home. They infested everything...... which makes more work for me & I'm old & lazy 😋💖. Everything has to be emptied out & the box HAS to be taken apart cause things lay eggs everywhere. smh lol.....Live & Learn. 🙃😎🌻
Solar is perfect for a simple energy star fridge. Keeps ice as good as standard home utilities.
So true
Yup. I have a homemade solar system my genius wife designed from scratch. We use glass matt deep cycle batteries. I run my refrigerator just fine. I like to yell "ICE from the power of the SUN!!!" Our only bill is 20 bucks per month for water.
That's great or should I say "cool", thanx for the comment and have a great day
Love the wholesome narration haha
Thnx for the comment, if you want some more wholesome comments, try the Finished shed vid, ruclips.net/video/Gw-fqnAReis/видео.html . have a great day.
The movie the shining..."Here's Johnny "!!!!
Yap I should have said "Here's Rambler!!!" lol
I built my own shed and made it into a tiny house for me and I as 52 and yes a woman . It is my get away on my land a little way from my modular house . Insulated with rock wool and nice front porch 16x22 . I just wish I had done a higher roof line for a loft space . I ran electric and water and added a mini fridge and sink. Can tell you those plastic deck boxes don't last mine was lucky it made it 4 years and I live in Southside VA so not exposed to alot of snow .It was protected from summer heat by a pergola I built and in sumer pergola had shade cloth on it . I spent over 200 dollars on that box to store furniture cushions in the winter . Then I built a wood one with feet and waterproofed it
Sounds like a wonderful place. It sure means more when you put the effort building yourself. Thanx for the info, Nice job. Have a great day.
@@FearlessRambler back then it was cheaper to build your own , now not so much . got a great pic of a baby bear sitting on a rocking chair on the front porch
Get a mechanical timer light/power switch. That way you never leave your main lights on and run your batteries down when you don't need light.
Thats a great idea. I probably need to put a timer on each circuit.
@@FearlessRambler I do that for my shed which is powered by a 20W solar cell and a 100 AH deep cell battery. The reason for using a mechanical instead of an electronic timer is that as the battery voltage decreases below the design operating voltage of the timer the timer's logic may become unstable.
I use a the 100 AH battery in case I want to run some corded power tools like table saws.
I know everyone supports Lithium Ion, but lead cell car batteries are still a great choice. Less prone to catching fire if they overheat, and will last practically forever as long as they’re recharged often. Just make sure you use car batteries, and not batteries meant for recreational vehicles. Those eventually reach a point where they won’t recharge due to the lack of solids inside.
For the first year I used a old car battery, it worked for our needs, at least before I put in a electric frig. Thanx for the comment and have a great day.
@@FearlessRambler Of course. Good information given is something everyone should want. Your video is great, by the by.
I subbed in the first 45 seconds because I like you already.
thanx for joining the crew here at this channel. We always like new friends, Have a great day.
Looks so awesome!!!!!
He is the finished shed if you are interested. ruclips.net/video/Gw-fqnAReis/видео.html Thnx for the comment and have a great day.
This is so cool 😎 I enjoyed it.
I know nothing about construction or anything but I’m glad I checked this out, you are such a sweetheart with good vibes. Nice video dude!
You need a touch of ambience . . . Get one of those large (26"x20.5") oval black tubs from TractorSupply to pour a cement hearth with multi colored pebbles as decoration. Now get a SPARK mini potbelly stove. Now you in the WayBack Machine 😃.
Lovely job on your cabin ✅
LOL
Look absolutely beautiful man!!
You’re a trip, dude! I love it. Thoroughly enjoyed the vid and continue fearlessly rambling 🖖
Thank you, one day I will finish and have a place to lay my head. Have a great day.
This is great
Thnx for such a nice comment, have a great day.
Wow. Very good 👍👍 You gotta have some fun too. It takes a long time to get stuff done.
Thank you, it has been to build
It looks fabulous! I love it!
Thank you, lots a work but it should pay of in fun
Looks like you're on your way to a very cool setup! 🇺🇸🤜
Thanx, that's the great thing of youtube. You can learn from other and give it a try. That how I have gotten any of this stuff done. Thanx for watching and commenting on these activities. Have a great day.
I would love that shed!!!
Amazing work! Underrated video
Much appreciated!
❤ thank you !
Planning my own shed to cabin conversion ….
Nice to have money, nicer to have skill, good job.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day.
Very nice work, it looks sensible and do-able!

Good info
WHOA! You all made that look amazing!
Thank you so much!! Its been a fun hobby. Have a great day.
Me gusto mucho su trabajo en esta cabaña es muy bonita, pero más su trabajo ,mis más sinceras felicitaciones para Terry y George ,un abrazo .
gracias por el abrazo. Esta cabaña es para el disfrute del trabajo duro. Mi amor para ustedes familia. terri y george
Thank you for sharing and you have a beautiful lady helping you. I hope you guys have many fun times in the cabin 👍🏻
Thanks so much, Terri is the also the smart one. Have a great day
I have the same adventure shirt😂 really like the info you shared
Thnx for the comment, have a great day.
Wow, George this is epic! This was incredible to see. You have done a fabulous job building a home away from home. We can't wait to see more. Thanks for sharing this adventure and thanks for the shout out too.
Now you know why I miss your live shows. It would be fun to join your travel group during you chats.
@@FearlessRambler , we changed our time slot on Saturday to 6:00 PM EST . We hope you can join us live one day too, or better yet, on a cruise.
nice shed convertion
Looking great.
Thanks for the visit
That house looks amazing!!! Good work!
Thank you!! Have a great day.
Thanks for sharing...Excellent job!
thanx for watching, Have a great day
That is fabulous
Almost as good as yours
@@FearlessRambler You (Terri) should do some Dutch oven cooking videos
This looks so cool. I just got a she shed a 10×16 double loft shed. I've been dreading how much the electrical will cost. It's good to know that solar could be an option.
I hope you have fun trimming out you she shed. Double loft, wow.
@@FearlessRambler Thanks so much!
Im so happy for you. I would like to do same thing. But I need to know where I can go that will allow it. Congratulations
@lakishadm6587 Thanks so much. I would start with your neighborhood. If you live in an hoa community they have guidelines on how big it can be, color etc. Luckily my neighborhood doesn't have one so that was a bonus. Next you want to figure out the purpose of your space and if you want it to be a standalone unit like a tiny house or just an outfitted shed. If you want to make out a tiny home look for land and price the cost of adding utilities to that area. It can get expensive.
@@tiarrabiggs thank you so much. yes I been looking for land from different states because I'm open to relocation. I looked at Illinois, Missouri, Arizona, Tennessee, Mississippi. I'm exhausted lol. I've read building and zoning codes. Just want a place that I can build solely but most places you have to already have property on it. So it's a little frustrating.
Excellent photography 📸
Thank you so much 😀
Great idea! Enjoyed the video! Be safe out there!
Thank you watching, Have a great day
Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure! Thnks for joining us on this project. Have a great day.
Nice clean build out!
Thank you for your nice comment, its been fun building it. Have a great day.
This is gold!
Thank you, have a great day Dario
I bought a building very similar from Derksen Builders. The delivery was well done with perfect installation of foundation blocks and leveling.
sounds cool.
This came out Beautiful! What a fun process! 💞 Great job!
Thanks so much! 😊
So creative..thank you
Welcome 😊
Get a spiral stair to second floor to extend the top floor all the way
That wa one of mu ideas working on the shed, since it is a bunkhouse for short term living, we went with the look of a tall ceiling and a small sleeping area, but a great idea so thank you.
lots of good ideas
Its be fun and educational to build it. Thank goodness for you tubers with ideas and instruction how to do stuff. Have a great day.
Awesome bro!!💪🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
Thanx, glad you joined in with us on this ever going project
You get three thumbs up!
Super creative.
Thank you. It survived the long winter and 15 feet of snow on top of it. Have a great day.
Very, very nice job!!
Thank you, have a wonderful day
Excellent! My dream come true!
Mine too! Its been a fun project. Have a great day
dig down 6 feet. get some metal tube and bury it and use the low energy to move a fan and move earth cooled AC....
cool idea
strongly recommend you put in holes for ventilation for the solar inverter setup, otherwise that thing will cook itself to death within low single digit years
Great advise, I will be building a solar shed this spring for the equipment. I will add some 12v fans to help with the circulation in the shed. Thnx for the advise, have a great day.
Very cool
thank you
Love it, nice work!
Thank you! Cheers! Have a great day.
Thank You for sharing 🏡
Thanks for watching!
Great job sir keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Paint the trim before you cut/install it. Easier to do small dabs over nail holes and joints
tap, me and Terri talked about that after that last night, thanx for the comment so true
Good video. Keep us posted on how the solar power system works in practice .Thanks for sharing.
The solar worked well for the 12V lights and the 110v, but have not tested out the refrigerator yet, need to change out the batteries in the spring. Thanx for the comment
Im grateful to see your journey. Make sure you wash your hands with rosemary fresh and eat celery seeds to keep your hands strong for the girl in the video. Rosemary helps with the mites. Thank you for the info :)
ans don't for get the fennel seed, thanx for the tip. Have a great day.
Your awesome
Good to see you didn't skip the vapor barrier! This has always been a dream of mine. Cheers!
It was part of the shed kit, it good to have it on. Thnx for the comment. Have a great day.
Very good presentation and craftmanship
Thank you, have a great day
Puppy wasn’t sleeping, he was resting his eyes while he supervised
lol
Great video!
Thanks for the visit, have a great day
That Ikea kitchen will last about 3 years. Like the project tho. Would have spray foamed (closed cell) tho for insulation and structural improvement. Hate the exposed fasteners on the siding and roof…they always leak…only go with hidden fasteners.
Live and learn, but this has been a fun project. I went the easy route on the insulation. Spay would have been so much nicer. Thanx for the comment and have a great day .
Looks like a worthwhile endeavor! Excited to see how it comes together!
Will Prowse is pretty amazing.
Thank you
Beautiful
Thank you
Love your energy!!! Subscribing today 😁
Welcome!! It nice to have you on board
Pretty kool 😎
thnx
The rifle is a nice touch.
It is, but that only a bb gun
