This is modern America, the American dream has been adapted from owning a home to owning a shed.
The American Dream was a marketing campaign on par with Manifest Destiny.
That's to bad , no more American dream, rent so high and intrest rates high and banks are tough to get a loan greed ruined the American dream of owning a house.
lol truth
Simplistic nonsense.
sears used to sell kit homes from a catalog delivered to your lot. you build it yourself. it's not an unusual idea but the quality certainly will vary. that roof line in the opening shot looks as wavy as the ocean.
It would be cool if they had a decorating show where each designer got one of these and a budget and see what they come up with.
Fantastic idea
Exactly. Talk about getting A TON of watches. Anyone doing one of these on film for RUclips would definitely get a lot of hits.
I think I remember seeing a show like that before
A lot better than all those house flipping shows that contributed to homelessness in the first place
That a fantastic idea.
This is what an affordable home looks like in 2024! 😮
Yes! I wonder what it costs now
Yeah except now it costs 40 thousand dollars! /s
I'm happy to see Hank Hill is doing well and has a RUclips channel.

RUclips’s comment of the year!
My dad bought this for my sister several years ago when she was a single teenage mother. She lived in it with her daughter for several years. Complete with two small bedrooms.
That was a smart decision
I always wondered why these couldn't be done for homeless people..from wealthy donors.
thats awesome
@@sylvialawrence4431 it can be done but most of them are addicts so i dont think it would do any good to them
@Black G Addicts don't need housing?
This is more spacious, affordable, and nicer looking than 95% of the tiny homes I've seen.
The tiny homes all the single women have been lured into buying with their composting toilets, water jugs, and battery power are really romantic for about 2 weeks, and then the inconvenience sobers them up.
It's a shell, and you consider it nicer than a finished tiny home, brilliant.
@@TheEnd-eg6wq No need to be a smartass. The outside looks quite nice compared to most tiny homes, it has a nice porch, and the inside actually has real steps.
@@KRscience It looks like a shed, you know what it is.
@@TheEnd-eg6wq Get a life dude. Making snarky comments while sitting behind your keyboard doesn't make you superior in any way, even if you feel that way.
I bought a 26x40 garage and Tuff Shed built it in one day. Divided it in half and now have a one bedroom, one bath with a two car garage. It cost me 18k in 2013. Well worth the investment.
How did you fix it up and make it livable?
Which model?
@@adamdihyem325 I hired a company to pour the slab and install the plumbing. Tuff Shed put their frame on top. I put in the insulation, walls and electrical. Hired another guy to put in pex water lines. It was easy.
@@steveeyler Sundance is what I think it's called.
@@ghanna7787 I looked for that model on their site but didn't find it.
Or… and hear me out, we could go back to when having a full time job was enough to afford living in a house and having healthcare and a 401k…
Ah those days are long gone I was thinking maybe I could live in a van down by the river😂
@@Phredbo in a VAN! Down by the RIVER!!!
I actually bought one of these and made a home out of it many years ago. All together I believe the investment was around $25,000 for he building and finishing it out. How it works is Home Depot delivers all the materials to your building site then a crew comes in a puts it together over the course of about 3-4 days.
Can you tell me more about it ? Do you have pics?
Knowing that is a big help!
@@teresacastillo4777 Thank you. Info noted.
@@jimdshea Great question
Would be cool for me to do but I have no idea where to put it or how to get water and electricity??
I used to build these for Tuff Shed. They are solid and they go up quick. We could put one of these together in a day as long as everything ran smoothly. I would personally go with the 18x24 with the barn style roof if they still offer it.
You could build that yourself for around 6 to 7 thousand. For 16,000 you could have plumbing put in electrical put in flooring put in drywall put in. Just build it yourself people that is so easy and basic
@@YesYourRight I agree. When I worked there 15 years ago this style building was probably 5,000. The two story cabin was 10,000. For 16k you can have do it yourself and have a finished building with money left over.
@@YesYourRight
Yes lol I was thinking we could even build this for 3 grand or so. Maybe a bit smaller. Lol this wooden shack lol they made 16 grand off of these guys lol ! It goes up in 1 day lmao. In 1 freaking day. They made 16 grand off of you lmao ! What a rip off !
They are impressive, but knowing where you can put it is the challenge, with county and city regulations.
@OJD PUBLISHING those type of people don’t typically understand the notion that people’s time is better spent doing something else and paying for someone to do the job ie. It’s far better to have a good job and pay someone to do it.
I built one 7 years ago still live in it today, set it up on a concrete foundation. I use P Tac units for heat and air. It a great tiny home.
Is the basement floor sturdy enough for a bed, desk etc??
How does that work with zoning?
What is a P Tac unit?
Skylights would make it even more amazing.
I used to work for HD (12 years - in garden and customer service) and sold a LOT of Tuff Sheds. I can tell you that the $16,000 price is the BASE price for this unit (the sign even says 'starting price'). The sign also reads: 'Upgrades shown on display' then lists the upgrades (windows, upgraded shingles, porch, paint, upgraded floor, etc. - things which I guarantee are not included in the base price of $16,000). Read the find print! Also, you need to find out what kind of foundation is required for this size shed; and this varies depending on local building codes. Tuff Shed will pour a cement foundation, but at an extra cost. Personally I still believe it is a great deal and worth checking out . I LOVE the product, which is one reason I was able to sell so many. My guess is that, even with the upgrades shown, you are still looking at a very reasonably priced tiny home. Happy hunting. :)
I could build this for 5,000$
@@twsbrl2xlldmoney355 I was thinking the same thing, I could build it for half of that sticker price.

@@taylorrasmussen2321 so what should be used? Hardwood for the floors?
I wish they’d build these little tiny homes instead of apartments in some areas. These seem much more cozy than an overpriced apartment.
That's actually a great idea, tiny home rental communities....anybody got the capital? seriously!
Dear coke: The original reason for the first Big Cities and the apartment blocks that came with them was solely to benefit Big Business. It costs less to run your corporation from one 40 story building than from 40 one story buildings, although such city planning would result in more livable, less crowded cities with less of a need for apartments. The Minimalist and Small Home movements are really anti-Establishment because these people see how Big Cities mainly benefit the Rich at the cost of working people and poor people. These Small Home people are willing to move away far enough from the Big City to live a less affluent life that that is more satisfying in other ways and is distanced from the CRAZINESS Of Big City Life. It's not just about Small Homes, coke. It's a whole new way of looking at life and a fundamental reinvention of the American Dream. In the 1960's, the Beatles sang "Money Can't Buy You Love", but it's only been recently that Americans have started to wake up to that reality.
@@teresarenee3829 I'm not so sure. I mean, land is expensive, and the point here is to not live in a crowded apartment, or in a bad neighborhood. But instead put it somewhere out of the way, possibly as a home addition. Just thinking here.
I guess town homes are similar but your right.
These would end up being more expensive than the apartments to rent. You can stack apartments, you can't stack tiny homes.
Nice video.
Wood on floor is oriented strand board or OSB.
House wrap acts a vapor barrier, not insulative.
Couple of things....the house wrap with the Tuff Shed logo on it is not insulation, it's a water/vapor barrier to keep water out of the house. It has no insulating properties. Next, the "particle board" as you call it is not particle board....it's OSB. Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is way, way stronger and more durable than common particle board. Other than that, it would make a decent hunting cabin if you installed a toilet and a kitchenette maybe.....
It can be done very easily with the right know how. My Grandpa bought one alot like this and did all the drywall/wiring/plumbing etc and lived in it just fine for years my aunt lived in it after him and then I lived in it after her for several years...loved it.
Bought one of these two years ago with extra large double insulated windows in Pennsylvania...
Included delivery... Total cost was $10,500.... Built by the Amish.
My advice is for everyone to stop being so excited about calling it a tiny home and just say it's a shed. You're just inviting the local township to be nosey and deny occupancy for permanent living. Put it on rural land outside of a burrough and keep quiet about your intentions. Use cash, not financing and stay off grid.
Edit: seeing as how my comment set off a thread that went way off course, let me clarify I never said to lie, cheat or be sneaky, especially when it comes to taxes. My point is: too many people want to call a shell of a building a tiny home and in doing so embark on a series of disappointments. Buying the land, which ideally is in a rural area, is first and use cash for that. Of course the real estate transaction is recorded and you pay taxes. Then you build small or have a local shed builder deliver on site. They will handle the permit, if needed. Build on a slab or posts so it isn't considered a permanent foundation. You could finance something like that or use credit, cash or a combination. Again, you will pay property taxes on the structure as well. Over time finish the interior to your liking and don't go around telling the local zoning board or everyone else. Why would you? If you use portable power and collect water you won't need to have the building wired or plumbed. That way no one can say anything if they did inspect it. It's still considered a shed even if it has been insulated and drywalled. Whether you "live" there or not is no one's business and no one will care. I don't know why so many people act like this is impossible to do. I have done this twice since 2004 in rural Pennsylvania and the only thing that matters is that I pay the property taxes. There is no county office in our government that comes to see if I live there full time because that isn't a concern of any agency. Recreational use is recreational use for as long as you say it is so, again, stop calling it a tiny house and telling everybody it's your new home. That's just stupid.
The tax assessor looked inside a neighbors playhouse shed too see if anybody was living there.
Smart.
But where can you find some land to build it? Any recommendations how to find land?

@@rusty78609 Thanks, Note my mention of roof framing improvements!
You sound like a great guy. I can't imagine a friend that would help with all that, let alone his dad.
Thanks@@dambroangling2828, I was happy to help. And being retired, time was not an issue... Besides, I got to experience creating a tiny home out of a Home Depot 'shed' which is something I enjoyed learning.
O.M.G.!!! This is a better tiny house than many (many!) I've seen that are "designer", the "tiny house of tomorrow ", etc. It has a full upstairs, a staircase, not some ladder that requires the agility of a monkey...it even has handrails! I would choose this over 90% of the others out there! This is great!!
But where is a BATHROOM, a TOILET?!?
The connection to the sewer system?
Where is a heat for the wintertime?!
Any connections for water (also in the kitchen), electricity…?
A home is more than just a room where you put your bed and a sofa in…
That all can be finished by a contractor. The staircase sold me.
@@margarettickle9659 maybe, but the costs are minimum double!
@@MaMa-uj4ppnot if you do it yourself, on a home this small it should be fairly simple. There's plenty of info online from professionals licenses and tenured conctractors that show how to wire, plumb a house. Painting, drywall and insulation are easy enough for a child to do, just time consuming. You can also by those simple heaters they sell at walmart and have one upstairs and another downstairs, it wouldn't take much to heat up this home.
Agreed, tiny homes are like 50k or more, smaller, less well structured and sometimes not ideal to ones liking. This is perfect if you can find yourself a small cheap lot. Most of work would be easy to install. And you can customize as you please, I could find myself a 30k lot and put this in it, as a single person this would work well for me, and even if I start a family it would still accomodare for several years to come as I save up money to build a home on the lot or sell. A studio in my area is like 1k (not including utilities). The extra 4k for something I OWN and can customize to my liking would be ideal! A good afterwoork/weekend project in the spring/summer so I can still live in it as I add insulation, paint etc etc.
In 1970 my grandparents bought a 4 bedroom house on 3 acres of land for $3,500 cash. The last time the house sold it went for $225,000 and it still looks exactly the same as it did in 1970
That house in my town on 3 acres would be worth $800,000
@Eamonn Hogan 22 years? More like 51 years. Rent for that many years would have cost you over $350,000 and and then you just walk away. That's much worse
My house was built in 1972 for $25,000 today it's worth $385,000-$400,000
That would be 3500.per ac.
@@bmepdoc9675 great story. I agree. It's all about timing. I live in Ontario and paid $122,000 for my 2 story 4 bed, 3 bath house 20 years ago. Today in the current housing market in Ontario my house would have a guaranteed sale of $550,000 of course if I sell I'm paying much more, so I'm not selling either. Great investment and will be part of my retirement $$$.
Regular people: _"Tiny home! How cute!"_
New Yorkers: _"OMG what're you gonna do with that huge mansion?"_
I went to college with a rich kid from Hong Kong. The vast majority of people there live in high rise apartment blocks. This kid was fond of telling people that he had an actual house there and that it had both a front yard and a back yard. In 1980s Hong Kong, that would have been several million dollars.
I'm from NYC and I had that exact thought lol it's huge!
Moving to north carolina in 2 weeks and this might be an option lol
I just saw a documentary on those super tall, super skinny, super expensive buildings that have changed the NY skyline if anything alone. Billionaires row is where most of them are. Most of those are empty! Because these are secondary homes. Some are only there to store valuables these people have acquired litterally. Unbelievable! And I'm looking at tiny homes as a possibility. Why? Because I'm being forced
Watching this from my what I can only describe as my 2bd closet in NYC 🥴🥴
Our friend's Tuff Shed roof sagged and walls spread after heavy rains! We pulled the walls back in with come-alongs, Bolted steel cables thru the wall headers, next to each roof rafter with turn buckles in the center for adjusting. Then added an 'L' shaped brace above the ceiling and short vertical 2x4's bracing the center ridge. Also, a mid-wall splitting upstairs into 2 bedrooms helped support the middle of the roof. Building wouldn't have passed a framing inspection as-is but the guys who built the kit weren't framers and there was no inspections out in the country... Glad we caught it in the elec rough in stage!
Trusses wouldn't have let the roof sag. But the shed kit didn't come with trusses. Niether did the smaller barn-style roof on my brother's shed, come to think of it. But, it was a smaller building and less flat area up top to gather weight...And, we added 2x6 wall headers to stiffen up his side walls...
That's sad, and maybe predictable. The more I look at sheds the less impressed I become.
@@jshepard152 Don't get me wrong, This building, installed on location, is a fraction the cost of conventional homes! And, made from the same lumber! But, We added roof ridge bracing to my son's brand new house after it passed framing inspection by the city! Converting a shed into a home with plumbing, electricity, heat/air, etc is not something most people are capable of unless they have construction experience...
I have purchased 7 of these type places. Did all the finish work of spray foam, Sheetrock, electrical and plumbing + cable and Window A.C. Units. My goal is to gave 25 or more on My Land of 33 Acers. I am a commute of 30 minutes city but very secluded. This is the Future of Rental Properties and Home Ownership. I literally have a waiting list of people earger to be part of this new idea of a Community I am building. The Town is very accepting and helpful with My permits. They only require each place have its own electric Meter. I can avoid that by installing Solar they told Me. This is the Future of Rentals and a solution to the homeless problem.
If you had a big enough back garden this could be an easy way to keep family close while also giving comfortable space for them to leave the “main home” without going miles away. This is excellent.
Thought the same thing. Great for an elder more dependent parent or guest house for summer long visitors. Even a sanctuary for a friend in momentary need. Would really like one of these in the future.
In our town even with a good sized yard, you’re not allowed to turn a shed into a home. Every town is different.
that's actually illegal in most places. good ol capitalism
This could be great if you dont want to rent and are single
@@willyb0ngka um capitalism didn't do that, government did.
The "Tuffshed" is not insulation, just a moisture protection wrap.
over 16,000 dollars and you don't even get Tyvek, but the Home Depot knockoff of it that's worse... what a deal.
I walked through two identical, side-by-side units one July. One had radiant barrier in the top floor, one did not. The radiant barrier easily made fifteen or twenty degrees difference in unfinished units. That
would definitely be something to add to one of these.
Or you could just insulate it.
@@StallionFernando Better yet, both.
@@LincolnHawk-bk5yr that's what we did. Added a radiant barrier, then some rockwool to the ceiling. For the walls we just used rockwool and covered it with hard board. With that and a window AC unit, we keep it cool in the Georgia summer.
What is a radiant barrier?
@@Orangeflava It is an insulation that looks like a thick aluminum foil.
They put it between the rafters, inside the roof. It deflects a lot of the
heat that comes through the roof in summertime, but you have to get it as an option.
"When you come in you're gonna see what you gotta do" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanx for the info
I can tell you from experience, yes, sheds are becoming the way to go for tiny homes, but you have to really need to do your homework. I found that Hickory Sheds Inc are the best built for the turning into a home, but just remember, the cost of materials, wiring, heat and cooling units etc. Will cost about the same if not almost double of what you pay for the shed's, I've done 3 of these and can tell you that it's critical to treat the site area with the strongest non toxic weed and grass killer you can find, then line the area with doubled black barrier tarp, then and stone and level everything as you go.
Hey Joseph, would I need to put heavy mil plastic under the shed for keeping the ground moisture out, or could I just put weed barrier and gravel, under there? Thanks for the advice.
@@DK-bk1vq Not sure why he is saying to put down a weed barrier? No sunlight, no plant growth. Moisture barrier yes, specially if bottom is enclosed.
@@DK-bk1vq i would suggest picking it right off the ground. Cinder blocks are the most crude form of foundation for a structure but you might want to get a little more advanced and do some post holes. It's a very simple concept just look up some videos for "simple cabin foundation". The last thing you want to do is spend all sorts of money on a structure and it starts to rot or shift due to no foundation or an inadequate one.
@@miniaci9094 Great advice!

@@lexingtonconcord8751 both sides.people our blind.goverment did this to our people.
@@lexingtonconcord8751 thanks for pointing out that fact. Our country is getting poorer and more expensive. We’re paying more and getting far less, and I’ve not seen it any worse at any other time than just this past decade. I truly don’t believe this government wants people to own private property anymore. That would be in accordance with Agenda 21 in which populations are moved towards urban areas and private property becomes government property. There’s no other explanation for what’s happening. Our borders are open and, as a result, Americans (and housing) are being squeezed. This isn’t what America’s founders envisioned. America might be able to survive as a welfare state or as an open-borders state, but it cannot survive as both. And that’s where we’re at.
Guys, 16,000 for that shed. There's a lot of modifications you have to do to it. To turn into a tiny house legally. 16,000 is too much money. You could build it for half that price.
Yeah that's too fucking high
Please back up your claims. Present your own video showing how to make the same shed for half the price.
@LeonGoldMage Obviously you'd save money if you didn't pay for someone to arrange the materials as a kit, and then another person to assemble it. Just buy the materials and assemble it yourself. Why do you require a video to understand this?
This would be great for young couples, newly weds . looking to buy their first house also for cities to help the homeless. Thank you for uploading!😊
When you talk to the representative from tuff shed you can tell them you will be using it for a home and they will build it to code. You might be able to upgrade the particle board to standard plywood. Worth asking.
Is this an up charge?
Thanks for the info... learning so much. I didn't think if you ask they could build it to code.
Yes those osb floors are a huge mistake. Plywood 100%
That's not particle board, it's OSB plywood. It is used in home construction now because it's cheaper than traditional plywood. You could pay them to upgrade, but it might not be necessary as OSB will meet building codes all across the country.
Oh, that’s interesting. I wonder if it would fly in FL with all our hurricane codes?
My husband and I bought a 12'x20' "garden shed" w/ rhe double doors and windows on each side 8 years ago. (We were both 72yrs old.) We insulated and sheet rocked it ( 1 large room) and moved in with our camping furniture ( homemade). Water was a hand pump 20ft from the "house" and didn't come into the house for 2yrs. Our electric issolar power that we brought from our last residence (a rental - solar was ours). We changed out the double doors for a residential door and put 2 windows on the back wall opposite the front 2. Over the years we have added on to each end of the original bldg, got water into the house and sewer hooked up. (We had help with the plumbing) . We now have a 12x42 " tiny home".
The reason I have written this is to tell you you can have most anything that you want as long as you are willing to work for it and have decided on how much you can live without. Start downsizing in your current home first -:). Granted, doing what we have done is not for everybody but you'd be surprised at how much "stuff" you really don't "need" to be happy.
As for shed companies we recommend Derksen buildings.(This was not a commercial for Derksen lol.) We have 4 out-buildings, all Derksen made. Our house is not one -:( You live and learn.

I’m paring down though, getting ready to move from Oregon to Tennessee. Time for a yard sale!
To ay devil's advocate, the flip side of that is that there are a lot of people who have no problem going without or downsizing but I know at least in Canada there is almost nowhere to put one that is legal unless you already have a regular house on the lot/land. Kind of defeats the purpose.
This would be perfect for an off the grid cabin. Sure beats a tent
Are you comparing it fairly to a $16K tent?
I sold a couple properties in 2020 and I'm waiting for a house crash to happen so I buy cheap. In the meantime, I've been looking at stocks as an alt., any idea if it's a good time to buy? I hear people say it's a madhouse and a dead cat bounce right now but on the other hand, I still see and read articles of people pulling over $225k by the weeks in trades, how come?
it depends on your exit and entry strategy, most folks are used to a bull market and can't handle a crash, but if you know how to navigate and where to look, you'll make a killing.
True, the US-Stock Market had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable, considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled markets, but as you mentioned there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look, I’ve netted over $850k in the past 10months and it wasn't some rocket-science start.

The saddest thing is that where these small homes are needed most, are usually not allowed due to code restrictions.
fuck the codes.
thats because every house and every square ft of property is owned by the county in which you reside, and it is in their best financial interest for you to have a giant unnecessary house.
EXACTLY!!! I found out that many many cities will not allow these as a dwelling its sooo stupid
Ain't government great.

Not particle board, that’s OSB (oriented strand board) very sturdy - used as roof decking and sub flooring.
OSB as a subfloor, with exposure from the bottom is no good.
OSB is garbage. Back in the 70's and 80's homes were built with 3/4" plywood, and that was when homes that were built were built with quality and not quantity. All pressboards are cheap, and it's done to reduce costs and so that it's made faster.

The homes that were in the process of being built prior to final roofing process had to have the OSB boards replaced because of damage caused by rain prior to roofing sheets being applied, and that doesn't happen on plywood buddy.😉
@@MrNismopro OSB is now the standard for a reason. It actually has higher sheer strength than an equivelent thickness of ply. It also does not delaminate as easy.
I'm impressed that it's a tiny home with a second floor that you can actually stand up in... wow!!!

It was $13,000 just six months ago. You might be able to build this yourself for $8,000. I do like it. I would probably extend it out about 12 feet in the back.
Well a 2 x 4 did go from $3.43 to $8.55.
Before prices got jacked through the roof, you could have built this for less than $8k easy.
Not that I'd use OSB for flooring.
Up $3,000.00 in 6 months Wow
That was back when lumber prices were high. They're probably a little cheaper now. You also have to figure about 3 times that price before it's livable. Then a site and all that.
Very cool. Thanks for the tour! Quite a steal, it seems. Requires a lot of setup work to finish it, but still!
I got mine October 2020 from mid Michigan barns it's 35'x15' with 10ft ceiling I absolutely love it. It was $9,500 after I customized the insulated floor and specific windows and doors I'm slowly turning it into a tiny home
I'd love to see you create a vlog about it to inspire me and others!
Is it a Home depot tuff shed?
That can't be right.
Good for you! I got a tiny cabin on 7 acres of Ozark woods for just a bit more.

Wouldn't that be a good starting point for urban communities to get their homeless off the street? Get them involved with finishing the house and get their life's back on track.

Consider local housing codes before thinking of using a shed as a home.
Yep, there isn't any city around here in California that would let me use this is a home. Maybe if I find a chunk of land out in some unincorporated town in the middle of the desert, but nowhere in any city that is worth living in anyways.
A lot of city officials have greasy palms and would look the other way if you own enough property to house immigrants in these sheds.
Always best to stop calling it a home. It's a shed. No one needs to know what the inside looks like or that you plan to live in it.

Lowes had one too. I'd like to have one as a garage and use the top floor as a guest room/craft area. I bought a smaller one instead and it's my garden shed. Yes they set them up but you have to have the level place to put it. Also you have to prepare the foundation.
We really enjoyed your tour! Thank you!
I used to be the lead wall fabricator at the tuff shed fab shop in Pittsburgh. I loved building those things. Is a very efficiently setup operation. We fabricated the walls at the shop and cut all the ply for the floors and roofs and had everything set as a lot for the builders. We even built all our own trusses and certain styles of doors at the shop. Built just like a house with 16 or 24 on center depending on the level of shed you purchased. Steel C channel runners for the floors, 3/4 tongue and groove ply for the floors, 1/2 ply for the roofs. That was 15 years ago. I still have a tuff shed door as my basement entry (bilco style).

Having been in the shed business for several years for a company associated with another shed company in Texas I have heard almost anything goes as far as cabins etc... in Texas. In the Mid-Atlantic that is not the case. Having said that I am not knocking this particular shed as it appears to be pretty well built. But it is a shed not a tiny home. You might be able to modify if into a tiny home but I would bet it will be way more work and expense than most people realize. In cold weather areas the floor would need to be insulated which isn't easy because it needs to be sealed to prevent mice and insects from having access to that insulation and not cheap to do. It will most likely need a foundation which depending on your land and it's slope could be expensive not to mention plumbing including a septic system and all that goes with it. The finishing out is pretty typical with the exception of all the blocking that will need to be done to hang drywall especially upstairs. Bottom line is as some others have said the $16,000 is just the beginning, you will spend many times that converting it to a tiny home and to be legal in most areas of the country you will have to jump through more hoops than you can imagine. Again, I have had hundreds of people talking about doing this but only a few who pulled it off and only a few who did it legally as a legit Tiny Home. Some do them as a cabin in the woods sort of off the grid and under the county radar but not many as legal homes. Oh! One last thing. Don't expect the sales person at HD to have a clue about what it will take to convert this building and most salespeople in the shed business will down play how hard it is to do it because they just want to sell the shed. The rest is your problem.
Yep, that's the fact Jack. Nothin is as simple as we think.
Exactly what I was thinking. Most places you have to pass inspection, and you can't occupy until everything is signed off. Unless you're really out in the toolies. Maybe in Alaska. And don't forget about ingress and egress, so one door wouldn't work. Fire safety. 🙄
Mark P people turn these into tiny homes all the time.
My wife and i built a 16x24 with a daylight basement 8 years ago. I did all the electrical and plumbing. I contracted out the foundation, framing, drywall dirt work well and septic. We had to pay over $6000 just to get power to our driveway. With all in except the land we paid $90 grand. The framing labor for double stud walls cost me $4500 and materials to weather it in including a hidden seam metal roof was about $12 grand. It’s has R40 walls and R 60 ceiling. It will soon be a rental as we are finishing a garage and larger unit that is connected.
Put wheels under it and a 2x4 trailer hitch to skip all the rules. Then just wait for hurricanes or a tornado.
Great video and walkthrough. Thanks!
Nice to see it finished out.
I just saw a video come up for a Tuff Shed fitted out to be a home, it's on the Fearless Rambler channel.
Interesting. Probably another 15 grand to completely finish it. But buying a few acres and putting a 30g home on it sounds like a good idea to me
It's the few acres that may cost you...plus septic and well...
U will not finish it up for 15 thousands. U ssen prices of material and labor lately?

The contempt in his voice when he says "city ordnances" made me bust out laughing. I feel the same
I bought a 12x16 shed from Home Depot. They subcontract the build. The builder comes to your house and builds it, stick by stick. The materials are dropped off by Home Depot in coordination with the builder. I had to get my own building permit, but that depends on your situation. It took him about 5 days to build mine. It is solid as a rock.
That's great !!! Happy for you ...and thanks for the info.
I work for Home Depot, and am semi retired. I'm hoping to be able to get one of these with some land when I am ready to retire in a few years. All Home Depots have a Tuff Shed rep.
Be sure to build it yourself. Its insane how much they charge for these.
It's late, so at first glance, I thought u said you're hoping to get one of these with a lady. lol

How strong are the tiny house , what’s the wind measurements ?
This is outside of the tiny home front but if you got 2-3 of these back to back you’ve got a pretty nice 6+ room bunk house for the ranch or hunters lodge. Really this’d be a nice hunters cabin for 2-3 ppl. Only alteration I’d put on it is a wrap around decking.
This proves a point people miss with tiny homes, 3D printed, etc: Its not the framework that costs the money...its the insulation, drywall, plumbing,carpeting, cabinets, etc that are the main cost contributors to building home.
Lumber costs money too. You do get the trusses and set up; that's not too bad of a deal. Great project for DIY enthusiasts.
I would definitely insulate it. But I wouldn't do any electrical If I were to live in it. I'd run my solar panels to batteries and and also use my solar generators and run everything off those. Maybe use a windmill as well. Maybe have a backup gas generator. Also would use a composting toilet.

Back in the 80's I bought one of these sheds to put in our backyard. The only difference was I put on double doors on the entrance. I insulated it and wired it with electric power. Even ran a Widow Air Conditioner with heater, Satelite TV a Multi Phone line and an intercome circuit with the house.I plumbed in water and a small shower and bathroom for possibile later use!
I used it as my workshop/ Hobby Room and it worked out well. It was normal for me to rebuild engines, tranmissions and even rear ends on some special roll around benches I built for that purpose. When we sold the property the new owners rented out the little 16 X 24 2 story building out to College Students.
I had poured a concrete slab for RV parking so they had the perfect income source.

Writing this comment from my Tuff Shed Pro Studio model. Smaller than this, but for about $12k all in on materials and labor I was able to get mine delivered, built, and completely finished out. I did the insulation, drywall, trim, and paint myself. Hired for electrical. Really great option if you're looking for something quick with a good warranty and good build quality. If I could go back in time, I would have had someone prep my build site professionally, I ran out of time and couldn't get the build site completely level. It's on small shims that are barely noticeable, but that's the one thing holding it back from being perfect.
Note: one guy and I built one of these for about $4000, all in, over one weekend. They aren't that hard to build, and there are tons of tutorials available to guide you. Caveat: don't try to build it during a massive price spike on lumber, granted.
EDIT: Apologies guys, I should have clarified. Ours was this size, but was two simple roof slopes, one (four plug) outlet, one utility sink, two overhead lights, unfinished inside with only one long work counter/sink. Outside was finished, roofed. Combined experience of guys involved (me and a GC) was about 50 years experience. It was on pier blocks on existing hardscape. We bought unpainted lumber, it was 2011, so we could not do that today. Probably would have cost us 6000 today (more like 12000 earlier this year when lumber was spiked hard).
It was a glorious work shed, but it was a work shed. I wouldn't expect to live in it. You could, but it would take another couple grand (back then) to make it comfortable including with some insulation.
I was about to say wood prices in Cali are crazzy they just went down abit
And don't use that garbage Home Depot calls lumber in the first place.

Cottages
@@charkaan9923 really comes down to zoning for a cottage. In a rural town with no zoning limits its possible and ive seen it done. Almost all cities and metro areas it isnt a possibility because of zoning restrictions, generally size restrictions and the fact they usually arent anchored into a proper permanent foundation with footings, if anything they are anchored into a concrete pad which is never something thats up to building codes and even thats pretty rare generally they are just freestanding structures so for zoning purposes they are always treat like a shed or outbuilding
I’m wondering what the cost is to make it safe and live able, considering the need for second egress, insulation everywhere, plumbing, electric, heat, more windows for light and ventilation, bathroom and kitchen construction, flooring, Sheetrock and more I’m not thinking of.
There are places which use smaller Tuffsheds for temporary housing but not before a lot more money goes into them.

House wrap is NOT insulation. It has no "R Value". It's a moisture/weatherproofing barrier. All it's supposed to do is keep water on the outside from coming in, while letting water on the inside of the walls to wick out. You have to add your own insulation to the walls.
