$78,000 Small House Build with Land
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 ноя 2019
- The small house / cabin is done and finished. It sold in 2 days for $95,000. Most of the materials were bought from Home Depot or Lowes. Everything is off the shelf no custom expensive anything. The house features.
1. Triple Pane windows
2. Granite countertops in kitchen and bathroom
3. Upgraded insulation R38 Roof R15 Walls R30 Crawl space
4. Central heating and air
5. Half acre of your own land
6. Solid pine doors and solid board trim including tongue and groove
7. Tongue and groove vinyl floor (that I love)
8. 50 Gallon water heater for long hot showers
9. 10 by 15 Deck (pressure treated)
10. Hardie board siding (cement board)
11. last but not least affordable mortgage payment of less then $500
That is why I love what I do, no builder works for over 3 months to make $10,000. The person that bought this is, on the verge of retirement and he wanted something small and affordable to move into in his older years.
If you build this for yourself your payment would be $372 a month. If you financed the full $78,000 at 4% fixed interest rate for 30 years mortgage.

This home has such beautiful detail for the price . I didn't think it was possible to get a brand new home and the land for that kind of price in this day and age ! Very good job .
@@nebraskagirl5661 I love what I do so money is not my primary motivator. I grew up dirt poor so building affordable housing has a special place in my heart, might sound cheesy or corny but it's true.
Migraine Craftsman How long did it take you to build the house?
@@MigraineCraftsman Doesn't sound cheesy or corny at all , it sounds like you are a good decent person who cares about people .
@@jackieayala9860 A bit over 3 months
What a beautiful little home! The person who bought it, is very lucky to have had you as the builder! Love your work. 😊
Thx Jo, dog and him are moved in. I visited him couple days ago, I do that with people I like.
You have a good heart 😊
Jo Vander Tuig He does have a good heart!!!!
Migraine Craftsman That is very sweet of you to visit him. Very rare for a builder!!!! Maybe it has a little to do with you, “Letting your baby go”. You have spent many months tending to your baby!!!
Boom!
A house that will be used for decades and it's cheaper than a new fully loaded truck
Yes Sir, you are first to comment big thumbs up :-)
Take a look at the comment I just made, I list all the major features of the house.
Where do you live where a truck would cost nearly $100k?
@@narutofanar He meant the 78k it took to build here is a Ford f150 I put together for 68K shop.ford.com/build/f150/?gnav=vhpnav#/config/Config%5B%7CFord%7CF-150%7C2020%7C1%7C1.%7C701A.W1E.....SS6.991.55A.53A.CCAB.RETAIL.PLA.%5D
@@MigraineCraftsman thanks. That price is now f150 territory. Used to be loaded f250 territory.
@@jl9678 Trucks are getting crazy expensive, I paid $13,700 for my Taco and would love to get a Tundra but not anytime soon. Gotta save my pennies I guess.
Wonderful, we need more homes this size and price and not McMansions.
Wish I could give you 50 thumbs up for that comment.
@@MigraineCraftsman Me too!
Totally agree
darkmoonlady2002 No matter how much money I had I wouldn’t want a McMansion. This house looks very comfortable.
I think this house is so cute! Perfect for a single person or a couple. Please ignore any negative comments left by mean people. I hope that you have a wonderful and blessed day!
Dude you sound like a guy with a truly good heart. Your explainations are very informative and you said you do this to help people afford places like these. God is looking for more people like you! Keep it up and don't ever change a thing! Especially in this day and age. God bless you my friend.
Wow! This home would be perfect for my adult disabled daughter who is in a wheelchair but wants to live independent! Great video! Great house!
I have the same issue with my grown son who lives with his father! If my ex dies, I want my son to have his own place, but he could be in my property. I have a shed that could be expanded and updated to make him a living area. I was also thinking of a motor home that I could park behind my privacy fence gate.
I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. Thank you!!! 🙏🙏
I'm thinking the same for my daughter.
What impressive me most:
The vaulted ceiling
The gutters- shows the builder's thinking about the life of the house
The t&g wood on ceiling - wow, what a great feeling
The nice deck to extend living space
The upgraded hardware, same finish thru out home
The upgraded doors
The window in the bathroom
Cross ventilation capacity
The extra insulation and triple pane windows- this builder cares how the home will function.
Wow! Sold me.
Thank you, this builder appreciates your kind words :-)
You are the best thinking of people who do not or may not be able to afford all the fancy stuff! I love it
Fantastic , this is what house prices really are , not the mega inflated prices we get presented with , thanks a lot
Take a look at the video after this one I talk about how to get it done even cheaper.
Nothing fancy, nothing crazy. Love your little houses and your attention to detail and quality!
Yup, simple goes a long way in todays complicated world.
I love the "budget" homes you build.
You take simple, inexpensive materials and show that an attractive, comfortable, fully livable home can be possible for those on a tight budget. keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind words.
They build everything?
Wow I want a house like this, I live in Texas I can imagine myself in the country side enjoying nature and life itself, I’m 22 live in Houston a big city full of big houses but empty pockets and even emptier souls
In Texas you can easily build this in a country side as you said just gotta save some pennies and work your butt of for a while, that is what I did and you can do it too.
Go after it!
I like that what you said it not the house but being content with what you have thanks.
@@MigraineCraftsman What about in California, like let's say in the rural or wooded areas up north (north of Sacramento or east between Sac and Tahoe)? I'm guessing it would cost more but how much more?
I’m from England, it totally amazes me how you see many many people in different countries that have some Crazy idea that buying a house the size of a city will make them happy.
Then they have this Massive house, or 28 cars and are Missable.
I guess people get brainwashed by our world media and advertising into Thinking that buying items makes you happy.
It’s a short term fix, go buy any massive house, or sports cars Etc, it will give you a Buzz for so long .....then it fades .....people can’t Buy happiness.
It’s very similar with Everything, we get brainwashed from an early age on Looks, so we look for a good looking partner, male or female .....then sit around and can’t figure out things when we realise it’s not want me want, and it don’t make us happy.
We allowed ourselves to be brainwashed by BS, but society is Full of very powerful tool, media and advertising .....extremely powerful.
I met the stunning blonde and dated her for 4 years about 20 years ago .....Look are Not the answer, it’s what is in a persons heart that matters, what they stand for!
Same with money, if they have a Million dollars or are Broke, they are still the same person ....that don’t change.
What a beautiful little home; everything is perfect! As an older person who is downsizing, this home would definitely be quite adequate for everything needed to live a simple, peaceful life. The two areas I wouldn't want too meager are the kitchen and bathroom and you nailed both of them...each full size with all the necessities and plenty of room. Thank you for your great videos and for providing inspiration towards small can be just as good (or better) than big. Cheaper to heat and cool, easier to clean and definitely quite comfortably livable!
:)
I love your philosophy on building and the homes you create.
Thank you, I know what it feels like when you just want to have a simple house you can afford and everything out there is out of reach because it's too expensive.
Really great build. The only thing i would change if i could would be to put the breaker box in the bathroom with the waterheater/washer/dryer hookups. You do great work.
You should be proud of what you do; your attention to the details adds to the quality of the product. The floor plan is well thought out and I could easily live in one of your properties. This is the second video of yours I have viewed; the first one was a couple of days ago. When you enjoy what you do, you will never work a day in your life. It may draw me back to Georgia after more than 20 years. Nicely done!
I watched the whole series on this build and it looks awsome. The inside is like a small house from the 1800s or early 1900s to me. 👍
Two words: nice & cozy 👌
Loved it. Person who bought that house is very lucky.
I love this little house, so cute!! Love the storage you put above the closet in the bedroom to
Thx, I'm going to have to do that in all my builds, I like how it turned out.
Yes, and the builder's idea to later and simple stained cabinets on bedroom wall is a good storage solution.
Also, electrical panel inside home is very convenient, easily covered with a mirror or framed artwork.
I'm new to the channel and I'm excited to see your next video where you talk about how you could build this house cheaper than the $78,000. When I think of a small affordable home, my mind is in the $50,000 range. Something you can buy and pay off in no more than 5 to 10 years at most. It's so hard to find a builder who will build affordable housing anymore. They are all so greedy and only want to build mansions to maximize profits. Great channel.
Next vid should be up, I was going to say tomorrow but it's 1am here so today I just need to get some sleep, welcome to the channel btw.
Man I really want to live in one of these. My favorite was that 900 sq foot one you built
Wait till you see the next one :-) working on the first vid.
I lived in a place with similar storage up in the air and I was amazed at the amount of stuff that I can put in there!
I love this cabin! It shows that you love what you do.
A matching island with stools would be perfect. Great job...thanks for sharing.
I also like that the wood accents and black hardware is used throughout-- continuity is important in a small space. I do wonder how much it would all cost in 2023.
Love the storage above the closet in bedroom, great use of the space
My experiment, but I think it worked out well.
I've binge watched all your videos...guess I'm as much a nerd for this stuff as you are lol. Love what you do, you're an inspiration for sure. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Thank you Sir, I'm glad I'm not alone.
Thank you for putting in nice elongated toilets in your builds instead of crappy, round, tiny toilets
I love all of the words that you use. And I love the vinyl flooring. I think it’s great that some people still appreciate a natural products instead of burying everything under paint. To me the grain of wood and then knots in it or what makes it so beautiful plus it has its own smell, and I don’t care for paint to make the wood grains look better than paint any day of the week. If I had any pain at all it would be around the crown molding and base
Good job, bro! Oh so cute house...No wonder it was snatched up so quickly!! The wood doors were so worth it...Make it feels like a cabin for sure. Love the view at the end!
Thank you Marsha always nice to see you.
Great job...the house looks awesome! Really like the way you did such a quality job!
Thank you Jim, wait till you see what I have up my sleeve for the next house.
Oh, I need this for me and my 2 fur babies! I love the beautiful setting and the deck....We would spend a lot of our time out there. ❤️
I love tiny houses. Please keep doing what you're doing.
The deck space adds so much to the total space of the house too. Absolutely love it!!
Thank you, I like how it turned out too, especially how high of the ground it felt almost like a tree house.
Simple, beautiful, affordable!! I love the deck and the kitchen.
Thx Nikos, I figured people would enjoy sitting out there and with all the windows you can see everyone if you have company.
Great build, simple but elegant. Thanks for posting the completed project. I’m sure you got buyers lining up. Take care & God Bless.
A beautiful house for an older person. I imagine that a little house like this is not very common. I'm an old man and I would love to purchase one for myself right about now, I just need to find one. It's wonderful of you to build things like this, not everyone wants or needs a McMansion. You do excellent work, the house is beautiful. 8-)
Wow it looks phenomenal. I love how you take the basic materials and turn it into something that looks much nicer. Like you said you don't need to spend $10,000 to get a nice kitchen.
I would love to build a small home like that for my customers. Everyone here in Texas wants a 4000 sqft. McMansion for the same price... lol. Good job!
Yeah I hear that all the time I would build it for half that twice as big and three times faster :-)
Happy New years btw take care.
Love your workmanship on your homes! Perfect size for 1 person. Well done! I would live in it in a heartbeat!
What an amazing job!! I wish I could purchase one of his homes!! And yes, I watched it to the end! I love it too!! 👍
I love the tongue & groove ceilings and how you trimmed out the cabinets in that, too. The cabinets look much more finished that way and it adds a cozy feel to have the wood grain to look at. Very thoughtful design, too. It's so perfect! And someone can afford to live there when rents are $1000 and up, they will be able to build equity and have financial freedom within a few years. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, that was my experiment to see if there was a market for this. It sold in 2 days so I would say the experiment was successfull.
You did a beautiful job this is a lovely home...
Wow , it's perfect and affordable! Great for older people!
beautifully done. I'd live there in a heart beat. Congratulations to the new owner.
damn, that turned out AMAZING. This is inspiring to just do this. I just turned 50 and have a window to do this right now. thanks man, appreciate you sharing this and congratulations!
Thank you, make sure you look at next weeks video, I am going to talk about how to get this done cheaper.
It’s a charming house with a great deck!
This is really nice,I can tell that u put your heart in it keep doing what you’re doing
That house turned out great and at a very reasonable price! Thank you for sharing!
This is a great build with new materials. If you want to go lower get the cabinets from Habitat for Humanity store and find all the doors at a building junk yard. Contacting a kitchen renovator will sometimes score you a used set of cabinets. Dry wall ceilings and plastic switch covers will also save money. It is easier to install a 200$ tub than setting up a pan for a shower.
All great ideas, tomorrow I will release an episode how to do this even cheaper with new materials as you said.
You did a great job! I love all of your little touches this house is gorgeous. It appears to be bigger than 450 ft.
It feels like a house, a minature small little house. That is what people told me.
It really is perfect!
Just love the floors and windows!!
Never heard that about the fridge being next to the stove.
A wealth of knowledge you give, Sir.
Thank You
SO CUTE!!!! When he opens the door it's just a joy to see!!!
bifold closet doors on hinges -- genius!
I think this is just the perfect house!
Almost a tiny house almost....
The only thing I would like in any place I live in in the future>>larger doorways>>I have had so many problems getting furniture in and out. I'm a short, older woman. LOVE that you used triple pane windows.
Really great video! Affordable housing does exist. Thank you for making this possible.
I have the same kitchen faucet. Nice. Thank you for the breakdown of this project.
My pleasure next week it will be an even bigger breakdown how to get this done even cheaper.
@@MigraineCraftsman Like to get something like this on 10 acres in N.C. Unfortunately, can't seem to find anything under $500 per month. Would like the split system heating and cooling;) Looking forward to your update. Pleasant Sunday to you:)
I would be thrilled to live here.
Wonderful! You & your work are a true inspiration! Thank you!
I love this..especially the views...you did a fabulous job
Cute! And very cute how you love everything ;-)
That is a beautiful little house. You can even make one with a loft in the living room area as a second bedroom.
Yup this can be easily modified to do that. I had that in mind when I was designing it.
Yes, or for extra storage
Man you did a nice job! It would be even cooler if it had a spiral staircase going down to a basement man cave workshop!!
I thought about that but the cost of that would have been around 7 to 10 thousand dollars more.
I'd live in this in a minute. Exactly what I'm looking for when I get ready to retire in 5 years
wow, amazing work!!!
Wow.... You should be very pleased with the outcome... You did a great job ! Keep it up
Thank you, I'm planning some crazy stuff for the next house we'll see if it pans out.
@@MigraineCraftsman I'm sure it will....
Migraine Craftsman Cannot wait for that!!!
You did amazing work! Well done! Creative and very cool! :) Thanks for sharing!
I like the open storage over the closet, your off-season clothes or Christmas ornaments can be in a climate-controlled space instead of a hot shed or something.
Looks great good job
Great job! I thought that a sliding or barn door would be great in front of that water tank.
So cute and affordable. Great job Migraine craftsman. Thanks a lot for the information.
Your work is very nice. All the details and consideration to make it long lasting.
Very nice sir great work.
Thank you Terrance
How satisfying is that.
I love what I do lol
Looks beautiful! Congrats to the new owners. So blessed!
You do beautiful work. Love the doors.
Great job!
Thx
Absolutely amazing!🙌
Thank you /cheers
@@MigraineCraftsman every contractor should be as attentive as you 😆
@@robynnaturegirl8979 Only if you knew, I was made fun of because I put in triple pane windows in this house. But these are my babies and they get the good stuff so I don't care what they say.
This is so beautiful, makes so much sense! Great for retirement,low income, in law suite, people with handicap, newly Weds ,starter homes! What a blessing you are ❤️
Thank you, not bad to own a house with a payment that looks like a car payment. :-)
I like the bi fold idea. The wood trim looks great as well.
Just a perfect little house. Perfect retirement home.
Thank you, that is exactly what happened a person nearing retirement bought it.
The view of trees is another big plus
@@bellasue02 Almost like being in a tree house
Love your houses! Quality workmanship! I loved that you thought about extra storage . I don’t like seeing the water heater but for $78,000 I would hang a curtain (like you said) just so I could have the ceilings, floors & trim ! (Oh, I love the Deck too)!
Thx J. it's hard to hide stuff in 448 square feet :-)
I know you do above exceptional & amazing quality work! Quality materials and love seeing all the ceiling, floors, trim! That hot water heater (50 gal at that) is really minimal because of Your Time, Effort and workmanship in 448 sq ft ! Thank You! I am already sharing the video!
@@zollo9623 Thank you for taking your time and sharing my vids, I'm trying to show people you can do this in an affordable manner and we don't have to slave over the next 30 years with high mortgage payments.
I so enjoy and appreciate your videos and workmanship. I'm rewatching your series with a smile. Your work is through and unassuming yet shines with creativity. Thanks very much for the videos.
This turned out so nice! ❤️
I have a nice piece of property in Talmage Kansas for retirement ... I’m thinking to build something very similar ... you did a great job on this little house , it looks fantastic.
Thank you, build small and you'll love it especially when you are on a fixed income in retirement.
Love it!
Thx Art
Totally awesome! Wish I lived there! Love love love it😁
I remember the day that you bought the land and voila here is the house on that land. It is beautiful and more important affordable. Congrats Mr. Craftsman
My baby is sold now on to the next one. Zeyno, I am close to deciding on what to do next, the house will be a hair under 800 square feet, you are the first one to know.
@@MigraineCraftsman Thank you so much sharing with me ❤. I m so curious about it can't wait to see the land and everything.
Migraine Craftsman I know now!!!!! Yeah Me!!!!! I wanna know too!!!! Can’t wait!!!!
No video of crawl space and how HVAC is set up? Please add it in next video. Very nice little home. Keep up good work, it's hard to find such good contractor as you are.
Psst take a look here :-) ruclips.net/video/imdrJyWn2QM/видео.html
Everybody this guy puts his all and then so much more into building his homes. He is a rare gem in this business. You definitely need to get on board with this guy. Many on here are loving what he is doing. I know I do!!!
EXCITING!!!! Got my hot tea, in my comfy pj’s, getting ready to watch the big reveal of MC’S BABY!!!!!
Well hello and welcome!!!
>Nice curb appeal (No zombies in sight) LOL!!!
>I just envisioned you laying on the roof ridge.
>I like the ideal of no mulch, no bugs, like you said. But it could attract frog squatters.
>”NOBODY PUTS MC IN A CORNER!!!”
What is that from??
>Lots of space for essentials, desk, sofa, and the tv to watch our Migraine Craftsman!!!!
>Quality stainless steel appliances, sweet!!! I clean them everyday, got to wipe in the direction of the grain or risk making a visible scratch.
>High demand for granite, very smart!!
>$78,000 for the build and land, affordable!!!
>This is not nerdy stuff, it is very intriguing stuff.
>I could definitely make some great meals in that kitchen. I love to cook!!!
>Small house, BUT, can cook a whole Thanksgiving meal and have company sit comfortably.
>All that wood adds a warm, cozy feeling.
>The tongue and groove on the sides of the cabinets gives it a finished look. NICE!!!!
>No wonder you like to show the doors, they are beautiful!!! Nice shot!!!!!
>Very creative on the storage area and the closet door.
>You just go ahead and, “Do what the heck you what!!!” It is your baby!!!
>NOT SKIPPING ANYTHING, I have watched it over and over, and rewinding for two hours!!!! LOL!!! Didn’t want to miss any detail.
>Vaulting it makes it look bigger.
>Most logical place for the hot water heater. And especially the washer and dryer like you said.
>Very genius ideal for using a kitchen cabinet as the vanity, have space on the side for stuff.
>Big shower, I can sit and shave my legs!! Lol!
>I use the word wonky too!!!!!
>SAMSUNG, NICE!!!
>A nice, big deck!!! A few steaks on the grill, margarita in my hand, relaxing back in some lounge chairs, some great music playing with a blanket of stars overhead, perfect!!!!!
>Lots of land to build something else if I want.
>That’s the little house!!!! Magnifico!!!!
>Easy to clean, is a huge plus!!!
>Next episode, even cheaper, sweet!!!!
From the cabinets, the boards on the sides of them, the ceiling, the floors, the doors, the trim, the electrical plates, the ceiling fans, to the hardware all matching, It all makes the house have a smooth flow to it. It is all cohesive. Easy on the eyes!!!! Not wonky!!!! You have thought about every little detail and it shows. You definitely do quality work.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. This is just a truly remarkable house. Simple,, easy to clean, cohesive flow, quality work, perfect materials, AND AN AFFORDABLE MORTGAGE!!!!!
Apologizing for such a long comment. It seems like I always have too much to say!!!!!
Thx Peaches for the kind words. I put in a lot of thought into my designs, they might be small but they are very livable. I try to think what people need and cover the basics and add some quality over the bare minimums some people do. As you know I can also write a mile long comment but my head been hurting for 2 days so far. Thx for stopping by I really appreciate it and thank you again for the kind words.
Migraine Craftsman Awwwww Peaches!!!!! I love peaches!!! Georgia Peach!!! You are very welcome. Small is great. When people want to build big, live above their means and they struggle is when trouble could creep in easily, their get behind on payments, and BOOM!!!!! FORECLOSURE!!!! It is tough enough in our crazy world as it is, then the burden of a huge mortgage, can make a person physically sick with stress. Your well thought out formula can help some people remove that burden. We only need certain things to be comfortable, but so many think they need more. Did SIMS help inspire your love of building? LOL!! I am so sorry for writing long ass comments, my brain is constantly thinking in overdrive and the words just keep spilling out. So, so sorry your head has been hurting for 2 days. I just don’t know how you function with migraines.
Beautiful home on a lovely lot! I'm very impressed. Just perfect!
Thank you.
Congratulations! You did a beautiful job!!!
I want a little home like that.
:-)
Where was this house when I was house hunting? Lol
It would have been mine.
$20,000 for 3 months work... not bad at all.
Minus the broker commission it's less then that, I'm actually gonna talk about that in the next episode.
@@MigraineCraftsman I look forward to it.
This is really nice. I especially love what you did with the bi-fold door. It's my least favorite type of door and now I know what I can do about them.
Great little house you have build there. Thanks for sharing this with us. 👍😁
Great to see you Braxx, was getting worried a little :-)
As a single person, who does not need much space. I would totally live in this house. I say its time to go back to basics. We need more affordable homes, not these 5 bedrooms, double garage that could cost upwards of a $million$.
(I live in Canada). I am considered low income, so these types of homes, and size, and the cost would help so many. Owing something and having it paid off before retirement would be an accomplishment.
Also less materials being used and less impact on the environment
My goal is to build a little subdivision made of these, well see how it all turns out. I agree with what you said sometimes less is more, as in more time to do something that you love instead of worring about a huge mortgage payment.
Migraine Craftsman I hope all the success for you. I just turned 35, I can not afford a home that costs a half million dollars at this point. But if I am able to get something for $100K or less, pay it off in 15 years or less. (Did the math at $700 a month)
Everyone deserves to own something and be able enjoy the later years without the stress of, if they will have a roof over their heads
Where are you located ? Again I'm new so may ask answered questions? A small community of these ?!?! Sounds like a plan 👍🏡
@@joycescott6066 NC and GA area.
It looks SO good! Congratulations! Been watching from the beginning. Do you plan on installing a shower door? If someone puts a curtain, I worry that water would get everywhere.
Nice to see you again AR, I usually leave that decision for the homeowner I try to leave just enough so they can put their own touch on the house and it saves me couple of dollars.
Gorgeous home!!
