Hello Devon, what a beautiful job you did, no clutter simple home with all the amenities, may i ask off the cuff, what mic and camera did you use when making this video, thank you in advance....I subscribed and liked by the way.
Would You consider offering the land for $500? I found your vid tonight and your plans are what I’ve been looking for tiny 1/2 acre lot with 100 yrs old house needs to be demolished
Thanks! Yeah, people definitely underestimate how much planning does go into even just a little tiny home. Things are well though! I'm gonna go take a nap, this video took me all week to put together. 🥱
Pro tip on the gravel driveway…start with large rock (#2 -#3 or baseball size) as your base and layer with smaller rock, (4 or 5 in mid layer) ) 7-9 on the cap. Those chips should be your 3rd cap layer. Otherwise you are going to lose a lot of rock sinking into the ground and constantly need to maintain and relayer the gravel.
I thought the price was insane but when you realize half the cost is basically the porch and the sauna, the house doesn't seem so bad but the porch and the sauna OMG. I'd be interested to hear what you would do differently
I don’t usually comment but I am officially a fan after watching this video. No fluff no excessive talking no dreams sold. Hey look this is what it is. I respect how you made this and will be following 🤟🏾
I'm so impressed with not only the structure and floor plan for the space, but what makes this video awesome in my view is that you've done something few others have... you've taken the time to break everything down according to the cost, which I'm guessing is one of the most important aspects of watching a video like this. My question when watching these types of videos is, is this actually doable for me and of so what would it actually take? You've not only answered this basic question, but taken it a step further and provided guidance on how to achieve this as well. Well done!
i don't know how your video ended up in my stream since i'm a very happy homeowner living not far from the beach in Southern Californnia ... but but but ... i watched every minute of your very entertaining video! Congrats to you on how fantastic your tiny home looks and the PROFIT you are enjoying from your rentals!
This is an absolutely beautiful design and definitely worth buying the plans for and I’m glad you’re breaking this down. The tiny home and prefab industry owes it to the public to tell people this is not some alternative to home purchasing in many instances. I think also it’s important that you mentioned to people how hard it is to finance some of these types of structures. That you’re not able to actually negate full tilt cost of a home.
This is awesome! Been following your journey since the pacific bin built and you’re growth is truly inspirational. Looking forward to see your future projects!
Amazing man. So well thought out and incredible you did it yourself. Only things I would change if I did it myself is putting geotextile fabric under the gravel driveway and using a Trex type decking for lower maintenance and splinters. But I understand sticking to the "Cedar Hollow" theme. Good job.
I honestly would have loved to use a timber tech or trex, but that easily would have added 20k to the already expensive deck. Also, I thought about using a fabric under the gravel but I like the idea of have the middle of the driveway having moss and low growth things on it. Adds to the natural feel of the forest. :)
The whole layout of the house and I’ll be things around. It are amazing. It’s quite impressive that you did everything yourself. I love that you just hung in there no matter how difficult it made. It come out top notch all your choices are aesthetically gorgeous. You are so fun to watch. Congrats! ( liked, and subscribed.)
Amazing--your creation, the beautiful "Cedar Hollow", does not look tiny. The living room area looks so spacious--I absolutely love the floor to ceiling windows and the ceiling is not too high--my preference. Most tinys I've been checking look cramped. Absolutely amazing work. Congratulations!
Exactly, the devil is in the details. Your own work & time are not free... if you account for it or for hiring professionals I bet the cost would more than double, if not triple.
@@mva6044a contractor is going to factor material markups at 12-40% and labor cost at 35% Taking out the frills and add-ons that aren’t structural: $83K Plus materials markup of $25-35K. Plus labor cost of approx $45-65K Yeah you’re looking at $180K for the base. That doesn’t include land.
That’s a crazy amount for such a small house but it came out awesome. Like you said it will pay for itself within the first year. Everything after that is straight up profit. Congratulations man came out great.
Love this. I want to do the same thing. You’re very handy and this doesn’t look beyond my ability either. Do you have a video of how you acquired the land, permits, utilities, etc? That’s what intimidates me the most
I like this guy. He honest about the costs. Unlike these other channels. Great looking place. That is what something like that would cost now a days. If you wanted bigger it would cost more.
You did such an amazing job on this home! It would EASILY cost $250,000 if you got a builder to do it. It looks wonderful and your design is impeccable. Awesome job!
@@brendanodowd4849 I think these videos are great but 95 percent of folks do not have the time or expertise to build. That means we would be forced to pay builders. I see the 250k quote for a builder to do this but did anyone add in land prices? that driveway and total plot of land could easily cost 25-50k. At the end of the day to do it a traditional way with a builder, electrician, plumber and building permits its going to cost you 300k minimum. That's for a 500sqft luxury home with 1 shower ,1 toilet a kitchen/living room and 1 bedroom. Lets get real, for small families this cannot work nor the boomer retired generation as the majority have 2-3 kids (now grown adults), imagine 5-10 people coming there for Christmas or new years or thanksgiving, where would you sleep. These homes primarily work as a rental (500 dollars -2k a night on airbnb depending on popularity) . I believe the law is no permanent home can be built if less than 900sqft.
I've built houses, that wouldn't cost anywhere near 250k in Texas or any state close by. A ton of new or used home cost is land, permitting, and costs, the profit margin for builders is generally 20%-40%. So even with the upgraded finishes a builder would probably cost about 150k for a smaller contractor minus the furniture electronics hot tub etc.
Bravo man, clearly you didn't have a lot of construction experience before doing this but you took it on like a champ.. Really like the drywall job bravery!!
Absolutely beautiful property!! And kudos to you for your hard work. One thing I notice that isn't being done a lot in tiny homes is a vent from the kitchen area to the outside. If you want to truly live in a tiny home, you need to be able to vent kitchen odors outside. Just my thoughts...
Devon, thanks for sharing, you are incredible doing all of this alone., the design and amenities is top level,and your hard work deserves pay off. The cost break down sharing is so helpful for me, the frankness get appreciated here❤
Devon, wow! Your amazing. Your hard work and diligence shines thru on this wonderful home. I wish I could buy one here in CT. But land costs are too much . But keep up the good work. You’re an inspiration.
I think you did a great job on this and you should be proud! I'd love to build a off grid desert version of this (no deck needed) @ about 800sf but would only have a budget of $60000 plus the land. Very inspiring and glad you posted!
Honestly, if you want to build I’d advise looking for ways to save money. The person who made this video did a great job, although there were a lot of added costs that really aren’t necessary. For example, you should probably look for an area with low cost permits, call the city and ask. Some places are over $20,000, some aren’t much more than $1,000 in some states and counties. The next and probably biggest change from this video is buying land that is completely flat, no trees, and has all utilities which can save you up to $50,000 because you don’t have to add all of that. And of course, you can use lower cost furniture and finishes while still making it look nice. Changing just those three things would probably cut the cost of these houses in half or more. Cut cost only where it won’t endanger your builders or yourself. Aesthetics and finishes don’t really matter that much with actual property value and double the cost while only adding 10% more value, it’s not worth your money. I believe to just keep it simple. As long as you do a lot of the work, you can probably complete it for around $60,000. Just cover the house once you finish framing to keep out the elements, and don’t let people steel your materials and tools.
Ok, I guess I'm hip to the right colors before watching this video...I built out my master closet and sprayed SW7008 Alabaster Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel....love it.
I'm curious about the anchors that support building foundations. What's the load-bearing capacity and strength of those anchors? It seems like the bolts (in the pillars) would wear down over time, but I'm sure there's some engineering data that shows the load and strength of those anchors in action. Can anyone share some insights or info on this?
The construction plans show all of the load specs and specification for the anchors. Which they are a slightly different variant in the construction plans vs what I used but mine are well within load tolerances.
Can you make a video about all the management details? How you manage, cost and fees of cleaning, etc.? To give an understanding of gross vs net profit?
@devonloerop you should be very proud of yourself! Everything is well thought out and it's beautiful. I'm guessing you went with cedar because it's rot resistant and durable. A person could easily build it cheaper with cheaper products but considering the location, that would bite you down the road. You must be very smart.
What a great result! Thank you for sharing! If there was just one luxury amenity exclusive for the Cedar Hollow that would be a must have for STR, which would it be?
incredible video. with your focus on ventilation, I'm surprised you didn't install proper ventilation for the stove. those microwave fans are terrible.
It would be interesting so hear you talk about how you sourced the few trades you hired (i.e electrician). How did you vet them? I'd also like to know more about if you hired any architects or engineers. A lot of the info that you said about choosing your HVAC equipment made me wondered how you "right-sized" your equipment.
Having a hard time following the numbers. R38 (12.75" nom) in 2x10 rafter bay w vent space? Even r30 is too thick. Are you saying the improvised septic tank(sic) passed inspection? Etc
The under-roof ventilation system against humidity-rot makes 'traditional-sense', but, more and more I wonder about how a system could do that, plus quickly become closed non-ventilating as defense against embers? Obviously, the house in the video is in a location where it would be pointless, but, I'm guessing in most areas it would make more sense. Bet Aussies have been thinking about this. Anyway, impressive video.
Great video! However, I am considering buying the cheapest prefab home I can find, perhaps one already built thats 20k to 30k. I believe that customers are just looking for a simple room, like a hotel, the privacy, and the amenities. Im hoping to make it under 50k for everything. A small lot closest to orlando FL as possible, for 10k, 25k for prefhome, 10k for utilities. 5k for hotub.
Hey Devon, just came across your videos, love the DIY construction in the forest! I wanted to ask how many homes is your lot zoned for with the city or county?
My wife and i contracted a builder to create a Geodesic dome...our price per the 710 sqft structure is coming in around $400ish full furnished. (buying the land, installing septic/well...etc all the labor, etc) We dont have the option to build ourselves so i am curious if you had to estimate how much you saved not having labor costs what do you think that number would be? 50,000....100,000....150,000?.. Thanks
I was wondering if the plans for the cedar hollow listed for sale on the website include list of materials and sizes required for the build? Also if there are any commenters who know about foundation, can you comment if you would go for concrete slab vs the ones in the video ? Thank you
The amount of money, time and efforts taken to build this home is extraordinary. If you could hire someone to do most of the works, the total cost could double.
At least double, but if it made back the cost in one year with mostly free labor, then it would make back the cost with paid labor in two years. Still that's an amazing return. If you buy a house and rent it out you're lucky to cover the mortgage and associated costs monthly. For the first couple of years you're usually in the red.

Those chips should be your 3rd cap layer. Otherwise you are going to lose a lot of rock sinking into the ground and constantly need to maintain and relayer the gravel.

$161,000 for the house plus the land
but without the labor cost coz he did it mostly. But still a decent price I guess.
And the labor which is usually 60% of a build cost.
So about $220,000 if we added labor costs? + whatever contractor bullshit is added

R38 (12.75" nom) in 2x10 rafter bay w vent space? Even r30 is too thick.
Are you saying the improvised septic tank(sic) passed inspection?
Etc
So you did pretty much all the labor ? If you used contractors, how much would labor cost in your area ?
Easily double.
@@devonloeropthanks so much for all the info
What was the land cost, size of lot, utilities costs etc?
What if you already have a concrete slate to build on with sewage/ water available
I am awed by your talent
For the SW7008 Alabaster interior, did you use flat, satin or egg shell?
I use flat because it looks better in photos imo but for longevity I'd probs recommend satin finish.
This looks great! Your costs were right on point.
My first freestanding Tobyhanna PA house cost $80,000 and its a three bed two bath with a garage and basement.
The under-roof ventilation system against humidity-rot makes 'traditional-sense', but, more and more I wonder about how a system could do that, plus quickly become closed non-ventilating as defense against embers? Obviously, the house in the video is in a location where it would be pointless, but, I'm guessing in most areas it would make more sense. Bet Aussies have been thinking about this. Anyway, impressive video.
This is Awesome bro. Great job
Great video! However, I am considering buying the cheapest prefab home I can find, perhaps one already built thats 20k to 30k. I believe that customers are just looking for a simple room, like a hotel, the privacy, and the amenities. Im hoping to make it under 50k for everything. A small lot closest to orlando FL as possible, for 10k, 25k for prefhome, 10k for utilities. 5k for hotub.
How much was the land and where/how did you get the land?
Hey Devon, just came across your videos, love the DIY construction in the forest! I wanted to ask how many homes is your lot zoned for with the city or county?
Dude. You ROCK..! You are hard worker..! I just purchased a copy of your house plans ..!
My wife and i contracted a builder to create a Geodesic dome...our price per the 710 sqft structure is coming in around $400ish full furnished. (buying the land, installing septic/well...etc all the labor, etc) We dont have the option to build ourselves so i am curious if you had to estimate how much you saved not having labor costs what do you think that number would be? 50,000....100,000....150,000?.. Thanks
Yo Devon, you are such an inspiration to me bro. It is so cool to see what you are creating. Love the builds and hope to stay in one some day
I appreciate it tons! Yeah, it's a ton of work but hopefully someday it will pay off 😅
Congratulations on this, very impressive!
Thanks!! I love how it turned out!
This is a wonderful spot. I’m glad I won a free weekend getaway here!
Excited to host you!!
How about all the other soft costs ex. permits, connection fees, & etc.?
This is amazing what you've done. The place is fantastic. You make me tired just watching you. Lol.
You building this yourself if amazing.
How long did it take to build?
If you mentioned the length of time in the video & I missed it. My apologies.
This is exactly the video I've been looking for. Thanks. I will buy the plan as soon as I find the land to deploy
Glad it was helpful! Just a heads up there's only a few codes left, so you'll def wana get them sooner then later or they'll go up a little bit.
@@devonloerop Seriously, amazing, but the biggest roadblock to EVERYONE is LAND. How did you get the land? How much did the last cost?
You need a video with BOXABL!
Truly a spectacular home.
I was wondering if the plans for the cedar hollow listed for sale on the website include list of materials and sizes required for the build?
Also if there are any commenters who know about foundation, can you comment if you would go for concrete slab vs the ones in the video ? Thank you
Will it survive in heavy storms and hurricanes?
Nothing impresses me anymore, but I gotta say Bravo to you man
The amount of money, time and efforts taken to build this home is extraordinary. If you could hire someone to do most of the works, the total cost could double.
At least double, but if it made back the cost in one year with mostly free labor, then it would make back the cost with paid labor in two years. Still that's an amazing return. If you buy a house and rent it out you're lucky to cover the mortgage and associated costs monthly. For the first couple of years you're usually in the red.
Great news! Only 2,330 rental nights to go before you break even!
Congrasts!!How long did it take to build from start to finish?
Awesome work. Excellently done!
Beautiful job, thank you for sharing. What brand is the couch and is that glass tile in the bathroom?
That is an incredible return
