    Pretty shed with pretty doors👍. Nice bed with storage space, very important in a Tiny house.👍

      I'm glad you like the look of the shed! The storage space under the bed is definitely a must! It makes use of that otherwise dead space

    Milk Frother - that what this device called. The max power consumption 500w. Strange that it didn't work.
    For external molding I would rather use small nails than screws, they cheaper and not that noticeable, better looking.
    For battery shed I would make it twice taller that needed to be, in any way you will upgrade your battery capacity over time.
    For battery shed you need ventilation, to extent battery life, but ventilation that will keep mouse and rats away. They love chewing cables.
    And thanks for another video.

      Exactly! I found it weird that the frother didnt work too. I wonder if my inverter is dying 🤷
      I thought about using nails instead of screws! To be honest I just ended up using the screws because it was what I had in the barn and I didnt want to go to the store for nails, but that makes sense!
      The battery I have at the moment only takes about a quarter of the space inside the shed, so I think I'll be able to at least triple my battery capacity before having to expand this little building. Thank you for letting me know about the ventilation, I didn't think about that!

    FYI the weather proofing membrane is widely used in Poland where i oryginally come from ( its called "papa"- really!) Anyway. Tha way yo make a roof whit it is : you make the roof boards ( or OSB plate in your case ) about 10 cm bigger on each side then you put papa on it, the trick to success lies in the overhang of the papa. You mesure about 1 or 2 cm puls the thickness of your roof boards more of the papa on each side. When you fold the papa on the edge of your roof board you are left with the 1 or 2 cm overhang that extend under the roof board, this is the drip edge it ensures that the water will newer find its way under and between papa and the roof boards. The extra 10 cm of roof on each side ensyre that the dripping wather wont drip on the walls ( higher buildings require more overhang). Hope this is understandable and not too confusing, and I hope it helps in the future. Much love from Germany !

      Thank you so much for this comment, what you explained makes a lot of sense! On this build I just went with what I felt was good, but next time I'll definitely keep those measures in mind!
      Thank you! 🙏

    Doors look great, another success with woodworking. You also used a lot of leftovers from other projects, there's never waste on a small holding.👍

    Wow well done you … lovely place for the battery hens lol but you did forget to protect your t-shirt while painting 😊

    Very nice! Looks like a great piece of furniture instead of a 'solar' shed. Is this a place to store the batteries and such? Build yourself a platform to use as level patio lounge space under that tree as well😊

    • @goncalovalle
      @goncalovalle  Год назад

      Thank you! I really like how it turned out! Yes, it houses the batteries and the other solar electricity components apart from the panels themselves!

    Congratulation to your new bed/couch. It looks indeed quite comfy. But I am a little worried about yourself since you seem to be quite exhausted. Maybe you should give yourself more time to relax.

    • @goncalovalle
      @goncalovalle  Год назад +2

      Thank you! It’s very nice of you to think about that. You’re right, I am a bit tired! I’m thinking of slowing down when the weather cools downs for winter 😉

    You have made the shed a great cozy space. You will end up crafting more multi use items for it with your woodworking!! Well done. Love the dollar storage, looks great❤❤

    Nice.....so that is going to "house" your batteries did you say earlier on?

    • @goncalovalle
      @goncalovalle  Год назад

      Yes! It’ll house everything apart from my solar panels. So it’ll be the batteries, solar charge controller and inverter!

    Did you have to secure the roof tiles to the roof and if so, how did you do that?

    • @goncalovalle
      @goncalovalle  Год назад +1

      The angle on the roof is small, so the tiles just stay up there without anything holding them. I’ll see how they handle the winter storms! 🤞
