Sounds like a great plan...thank you for sharing the story of how you guys built the house..We borrowed $25,000 and built our house and built as we could on the inside...its value now is $265,000.00...unbelievable. 🥰🥰
You did well sir good job in two months is impressive dude you know what your doing in life and construction obviously so no doubt you will prosper and live on the land for more generations to come bravo
Nothing wrong with living simply too many would have went in debt on a several $100,000 home and never got out from under it. I was very surprised with how good it looked inside with all the exterior issues.
that was the best way to make and pay it off fast! it stinks that you had to use a credit card! the interest is always more then you would like. your labor is always cheeper then paying some one to do the same task. I helped a friend build his second floor into an apartment. we did the plumbing, rough in, dry wall, and electrical. and during that time we cemented the floor in the basement with 19 yards of concrete! every day I was beat! and it was after my summer work during my time in college. great video cannot wait till the project starts!
I live outside Huntsville Alabama, I have a garage I built in 1993. I put T-111 wood siding on it. I never painted or stained, no rot. I built a business on a major highway 4 years later and had to paint because it was a business. Used same siding. It was rotten within 10 years. I covered over it with metal siding. For electrical panel I got flat metal and just snuck it behind panel and silicone around it. Metal is the way to go for sure
I built my shed out of the same cheapo Home depot lumber and stuff about 6 years ago but was aware of the low-density wood they grow in China and sell at HD so what i did was build the roof about ten percent larger than the building to the rain stays away from the siding. Now that said i wish i went further than 4 inches out on the sides but the front where the single pitch roof is highest is about 16 inches with the back being about 10. We are having the same wood rot problems here in Tucson. Proper water management is a must even here with ten inches of rain per year. But of course, sometimes we have wood exposed and the best solution is to be well caulked and maintain the paint. As you noticed paint can actually trap in moister. especially glossy finishes so i recommend my customers never use semigloss on outside except trim and i dont really recommend stain as they are more water repellant and do little to stop UV damage which opens up avenues for water to get behind the wood. Stain does and will work it just needs to be recoated every 3 years or so as opposed to paint that lasts 5 to 10 years or so. The denser woods from 100 years ago would last with or without paint
Sounds like the old place served its purpose. That family tree on the stairs is really cool, bet it looked good with the pics on the wall. Enjoyed the video!
The paint/stain holds in moisture that's why the exterior looks fine and the wood is rotted behind. Not letting t1-11 get wet really helps its life. I would never paint T1-11 only oil based stain it. The prep work needed to recoat it every 3-5yrs is next to nothing
Rip off the siding do a house wrap id you didn't do that then use cement siding they make pre painted cement siding pain to work with but fire resistant and won't mold then metal roof as long as the beams inside are good
I have a 10x16 shed built in 2008, and due to the ravages of time here on the southern oregon coast, ....gets fair amount of rain,...the lower areas of the T 111 siding is damaged, and I tried for years to paint it to seal the wood but nothing would work. A contractor offered to fix it and the smaller 10x10 custom built sheds(both T 111 siding heavy wood framing) for bout $800, with metal flashing along the bottoms, wished I could afford but I had a new roof on my place and gutter repairs and need other things on the home,....SO it will be me repairing the sheds,...I got some tools and minor skills. I wished I could do some sort of modification to the big shed, ..make it bigger, somehow. Shingles on both seem like they are good for maybe several or more years,..quality builds back then but purportedly should have had metal flashing the contractor said.
Also, from what I know about gutters now after some expert gutter repair that was done,..likely the sheds, thought small, ..SHOULD HAVE HAD GUTTERS installed, cause most of the damage is done to the sides of sheds, not the ends, I could just put metal flashing over the ends of both sheds. Word to the wise anyone reading this.

The tiny house did it's job, Brandon. Now it's time to move forward!❤

Your plans make a lot of sense to me. This will be fun to watch
What a sweet little house. I wish I was able to build something like that … save for the mold and mill dew issues 😉
Sounds like a plan, looking forward to the demo

Great video Brandon. Let’s go Brandon!!!

I think it's too nice to tear down I would save it .

Jim always good to have you along!

It was a cool little space and we'll miss it but time for improvements haha

you should have sold it. some one could move it and fix it up.
The cost to move it would be insane sadly
Thats what happens to T1-11, very cheap siding.
Am I first?
You sure were haha
Saw dust and glue compressed together doesnt last forever! lol
Truth!
