- In this episode our carport frame was delivered. Yes we plan on building a tiny house out of a carport frame. It is unconventional housing, and that is right up our alley. After all, we currently live in a converted School Bus, aka Skoolie! Minimalism is becoming a thing of the future and we are on board.

Well I guess crazy is all perspective. To me living in a small apartment in a big building surrounded by other big buildings full of small apartments in the heart of some big city is crazy. Personally I lean towards country creativity over Babylon crazy every time. Just driving through the middle of skyscrapers gives me mild anxiety. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Man you are spot on Luke. I could never imagine living in a big city with thousands of small apartments and hundreds and hundreds of skyscrapers. Thank you for watching. And thank you for the great comment
Nothing is as crazy as a 30 year mortgage. You guys rock!!!!
Patrick that is the best comment ever LOL
Yes
Great ideal I'm adding on to a building with car port frame we live debt free.
Did you ever finished the house??? I would like to see a video of it
Yes please!
Very attainable plan.I have looked for the cheapest way to build one also.If metal studding was used to frame out each side bay, landscape timbers could be used vertially to make the walls.A couple of small lenths of angle iron scibed in and screwed would insure a straight wall.Put in windows,doors,electric and plumling,sceen both sides and stucco with aircrete to finish.The ends,ceiling and even the floor over a crawl space could be done this way.Good luck.
Genius. I’ve had the idea for 5 years wish full thinking.. now I have a 18x21 enclosed carport on the way hopefully installed in the next few weeks for my horses.. after I buy my own land to start my own homestead I will probably get a bigger carport for the horses and use the one on its way as my first tiny home cabin office 🤠
Like every Settler ever would've loved to have that module construction. Think of it as a metal log cabin of today.
I’m super excited for you guys! Nothing about it is weird or crazy!! 12 years ago before the “Tiny House fad” kicked in I was researching ideas on how to convert a shed into a mother-in-law quarters! I sure got some weird looks back then lol! Now me and Keith’s goal is to grow old in a tiny out too! It is an economical and FREEING lifestyle!! Can’t wait to watch the build!
Thanks. LOL mother-in-law quarters! That sure seems like a really good goal. And yes debt-free will be freeing indeed. Thanks again
I've seen a few carports into cabin builds and I believe that's the way wife and I are leaning toward on southern Alabama land next year.
In Tn. now.
Great idea
Love the idea. Termites don't eat metal. Mortgage with interest is crazy to me.
I say whatever works for you guys. I commend you for trying something new and saving money. Good luck guys.
I think this is cool!
Thanks leatherwood
Just 5 years ago, I'd say y'all are nuts for the bus or the carport.
Now, however, I'm a bit jealous. LOL
When we moved out of the City we planned on "downsizing", but ended up with a place that was actually larger than what we moved from.
Lol we probably are nuts, and now that you don't think we are nuts, that just means that you are also a bit nuts too. Lol and welcome to the club. Hey at least you escaped from the city!!!
Right?
Seems a little crazy looking at it now, but I’m sure you guys will do a great job! Have fun!
Thanks guys!
Hello and Yes, looking forward to seeing your tiny house constructed. I found a video with a family living in a teepee and another in Chile, living in a cabooze.
😁💯👍
Thanks Linda. I think teepees are cool. A caboose sounds small lol. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Very cool.
Thanks
That’s awesome. What a way to take a deal and really make it work for you. Pretty soon you can put the kids in one of those spaces. Build up a Family compound. Love it.
Hey thanks farmer G
I just ordered my carport I getting the 30 by 18 with two 12 foot lean to well over 1200 square feet for 15900 can get much cheaper then that for a house will have 30 thousand in 10 acres and a 1200 square foot house can’t be that price in my book more people should think of this option I’m a bit lucky have already have a large concrete slab but for the same size to be build would be about 8 thousand hear
I have a 19' × 40' carport.
I could see myself converting mine to a house.
BullyBilly.
I love the spray foam idea. You'll do an awesome job on your house 😀
Thanks David!
It’s a great idea why not?
I think this is an excellent idea..... I was shopping for one last year.....slab,close in both ends,done!!
Thanks Jay.
I’m super interested in converting a 18x30 versatube garage frame into a house! Do you have any updates to this project? I looked on your channel but couldn’t find it. Have tons of questions on the spray foam side of it.
If you can you use a carport and it low cost why not. With the stainless it could be stronger than a regular house.
Hey my friends missing your videos oh and by the way I've always thought you're crazy just like immi that's why I like watching you laugh out loud seriously I think it's very good idea you definitely going to save money could you do a short video where you actually going to put it look forward see new building ok my friend God bless and stay safe
Hahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👍👍 thanks David, we sure are a bit crazy lol
I think it's pretty neat idea
Hey thanks graybeard
Love the idea i wanna do a metal house with a stained concrete floor
Economical. That is excellent! You are living within your means. Your great grandparents likely did the very same thing! ❤️
That is a great point AND i bet they did. 👍👍👍
Did you ever finish this? I didn't see any follow up videos.
I would like to see this in California and the mid west where it's fire and wind resistant
That's fine. I just built a 10x12x10-high barn-style shed with a loft that I could live in easily. Go for it!
Thanks
OK IT'S Sunday NOVEMBER 29 THANKSGIVING WEEKEND 🙏✌️👍🇺🇸 LOOKED AT YOUR CHANNEL 🤷♂️🤷♂️
O N STEEL SHED/CARPORT HOME ❓❓❓😞😞😞😞
Great idea! I hope you can get a chance to do some detailed videos on the build. I would love to see it. I would love to a greenhouse, and also use a carport as a barn of sorts.
We sure will do our best to capture every moment of the build. Yes carport frames can be used for so many things! And we love our Greenhouse carport.
Is there an update on the carport/house build?
Thanks for the sharing, i really like your solution
Heck that would be a lot bigger than my house that's a mansion my house is less than 500 square feet my land is paid for and my house is paid for its all debt free that way I don't have to deal with crooked bankers God Bless the new home
We were originally going to get a smaller frame. But then this one came available and is actually pretty big like you said. Wow 500 square feet. That is small. But it is actually bigger than our school bus LOL. Glad you are debt-free. That is an amazing feeling :-)
@@FarmAlarm yes it is and I am disabled to and I can't work I had a brain infection I have goats and chickens in a garden it's all in working progress God is good all the time his blessed me everyday I'll be looking forward to seeing how you build yours my prayers are for you
Sorry to hear that you had got a brain infection. That sounds scary. I'm glad that you have things to do such as your animals and your garden. Yes He is Good, His mercies are new everyday. amen. Thank you very much and have a great day 👍
@@FarmAlarm yes God is good all the time he's taking care of me and I'm in his hands he's providing for the things that I need even with the brain infection and they handicaps I still function very well I have a wonderful family that supports me and helps me
This is great, I would love to see a video
Hey what’s the follow up video?
Nice!
Thanks Amy
Is there an update to this video? We are purchasing a lake front piece of property and would like to convert a carport into a cabin on it.
where is the end video for this project?
I see an exploding RUclips channel in your future! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Janette !
Did you finish building this Carport house yet?
Do you have link to built carport house? I'm not able to locate it
Gr8 Idea...how's your house coming...can we have an update? I'm interested cuz I'm thinking about building a garage/ conversion house on my retirement bay property in Texas. I specked out a 22x56 9 foot high hurricane certified garage. including 1, 8x9 role up garage door, 2 30x80 entry doors, and 6. 30x 36 windows, with a 26 gauge vertical eve roof deliver and installed for under $15K. That's about $25K less than roofing and framing. I'll put it on a slab, and spray foam the ceiling and walls, and add 2x4 studs to add additional strength, and a surface to add more insulation and interior walls. Like to see how yours is coming.
We actually haven't started yet. But we will be sure to give an update! Thanks for watching!
What the heck, I don't think living in the *Farm Bus* or a carport is crazy.
In fact I lived in a 35 ft. travel trailer for several years back in the nineties, and being single, I had plenty of room. Whenever I needed to move, I just leveled it up on blocks and put the skirting back on, and there I was, home again.
I also spent several years basically living in a Road Tractor, for some time, I didn't even have a "House". I even met one young couple that was Team Driving, and had their two children with them. They lived, and Home-Schooled the kids right there in the truck, while going down the road. So your idea is definitely not crazy.
I've seen people living in tents, and even in those 8 X 8 metal storage sheds before. So either of your living quarters would be miles ahead of that.
Welding the joints is a great idea, but I am curious how you intend to anchor it down. Possibly bolt it to a concrete foundation? You're gonna need some kind of a Sill Plate to keep those narrow bottom runners from settling into the ground. Especially once you start adding the weight of walls and interior fixtures. What are you planning for roofing material?
I trust you will have the cameras running and be sharing the construction with all of us. At least I hope so. That way, if you get stuck on something, you will have us to possibly help find the best solution. At least it should be interesting reading the suggestions. Might even be entertaining. ;-)
Have you considered a Storm/Root Cellar? I'm guessing you will be pouring some kind of concrete foundation, (though maybe not), and if you do, you might want to make it accessible from inside the mini-mansion.
So many ideas, this is really going to be fun to see. Thanks for sharing.
LOL thanks David. We don't think it's crazy either :-) yeah I remember you telling me that you had lived in a travel trailer, and yep if it's time to move just hit you up and go down the road. Man living in a road tractor sure sounds cramped. But it would also be a way to make the living! We plan on pouring a pad with a proper footing as well. And yes it will be bolted to the concrete with anchors. We share hope to document the entire process. And yes you are correct I'm sure we will have plenty of entertaining comments LOL. I would love to build a basement under it but that probably won't be happening. But a root cellar would be amazing. Thanks for watching and as always thanks for the great comment. *Mini* *Mansion* I love it!
How is your carport house coming?
CHECK OUT HONEY DO CARPENTERS CHANNEL . I THINK YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT WHAT HE IS DOING. YOU ALSO WILL ENJOY THE AMAZING WALLS AND ROOF.
I have seen his channel. Very interesting. I am wanting to see how long Aircrete will last. Thanks for the suggestion
Do you have ANY issues with a metal building, spray foam, and off gassing? I've been warned about that but you are my expert.
I have heard horror stories on off gassing. But I'd say good product is your best option. Use a professional, with good references. Good luck
@@FarmAlarm I've heard that the issue is much worse in hotter climates. I'll be moving to southeast Arizona fairly soon, so my attempt is not to be the crash dummy on this one! Please be careful.
I was sure hoping to see video on your build. I was wanting to do the same thing. How did it go?
We ultimately decided against it. I think the metal may sweat against the wood. So we didn't want mold issues
@@FarmAlarm thanks for the information. I will do more research into that before I move ahead then also. Did you look into the spray foam to prevent the moisture build up at all or did you consider it and determine it would not be enough to prevent the moisture? Thanks for sharing your experiences, I sure can't afford to start and have it fall apart! ;)
Completed project?
I looked thru your vids . . . . . you never built the carport house
And this is the one and only video on this ?? I hate when ppl do that
Well we decided against it. Sorry. I may put up a video why we decided so. Thanks for the comment
Oh I thought you were going to live in that little brown house with pink windows and green roof ..LOL
HA!!!!!! Now that is funny!
Do you have any updates to this project?
We don't. We haven't started the build yet. But keep following us so you don't miss anything. Thanks for stopping by.
wtg guys! xxoo
Thanks Norma
