What size is this one answer ASAP please
If you have to ask how much it costs, you probably don't want to know
We had a complete Karsten home 25x50 delivered and set for $55000. Sold my home and paid cash. Best thing I've done.
Does this include finished walls, electrical,insulation, etc?
I'm trying to start planning
@@jamesdavis2811 think it’s just the building itself
@@jamesdavis2811 I live in Houston and there’s a place across the street from me that makes like metal buildings and cabins and stuff and I called them because they have a three bedroom two bath cabin for 1700 ft.² totally finished everything for 80,000 you just have to look around
@@csscents5673 those steel buildings are getting more popular. They're not great for colder climates, but you can insulate whatever you want with enough money
@@jamesdavis2811

It isn't as fancy as yours, but we converted a shed into a tiny house, and have been living in it, on our 23 acres, for about 5 months. Loving it!
That ending is not fair, not fair at all!! I absolutely love this home and hope your life there is everything you imagine!
I am VERY SORRY! I had no idea that the ending was going to be so upsetting. Not just you. SORRY!!
Have you seen the tour video? It is the next video that should have popped up. PLEASE COMMENT there also!!
@@BetterTogetherLife I really was just joking! I’ll certainly watch the tour because I really loved what I saw in the first video. I did subscribe to your channel, though.
This is glorious! This has been a dream of mine for years.
As a single mom of five kids, two with a terminal disability that impacts their cognitive and physical functions, my divorce and escape from domestic violence has destroyed my credit and I remain on government assistance 7 years later. I hate it and I am trapped in the NJ system because I am limited on my income and limited on what I can save. Therefore, I rent a home for an exorbitant monthly price and no way out.
A dream of smaller living was born of my rural upbringing and now that the kids are growing older, I dream of a place they can actually call home. The challenges of bringing this dream to fruition are significant in NJ because of all of the government regulations, but you have inspired me to dream, and I am grateful. Many blessings to you, from one homeschool homesteading mama to another!!
The structure itself doesn't necessarily make it a home, It's rather the occupants who reside within those walls that truly make it a HOME.. While this setup might not be for everyone you obviously have made it your home and that's a truly wonderful thing!.. Thanks for inviting us in and sharing your humble abode with us and please know that I hope all is well with you and your family!. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
My home is 707 sq feet and no problem for me. I don’t miss cleaning a 5 bedroom house that was also a facility. Freedom is priceless.
My hubby and I have lived in 720 sq ft for 35 years! Didn’t know we were so hip and cool living the “tiny house” lifestyle all these years!! I have only one closet and the upstairs bedroom is a loft with no door. If we have a disagreement I can only storm off to the bathroom to slam the door! 😂
That is awesome!
I love seeing the kids play and dance around in the background of all these videos!! It's so awesome and really makes me smile. You guys are awesome. We hope to do something like this soon!
Absolutely!!!! Our kids never stop dancing!! 🤣🤣 🕺 💃
I’m a remodeler and you all did an amazing job! I’ve been thinking of doing this for years. Hopefully I can make it a reality soon. Nice job!
So happy to see small successes being appreciated and celebrated. Knowing what went into making it makes you value it so much more.
Living with no debt is the single best idea any fledging family can start out with. Build your quality of life from within, not based on possessions.
Kim Horton
This project cost them tens of thousands of dollars. Maybe as much as 75- 150 thousand. I’m guessing they either had a nice savings account already, their in debt again, or they got gifted the money. But no way was this project cheap...
Kim Horton 💯👍🏽
An Idea that comes too late to most.
@@danclmb Their implementation wasn't, but it *can* be done much cheaper for those on a much tighter budget.
@@danclmb They saved, or she wouldn't of said debt free. There in there 30's debt free. That's a major accomplishment and 99% of people live in debt until the day they die. If you ain't saving, your doing it wrong.
New homesteaders showcases our farm and animals. Taking friends on our new journey. Thanks
Screw the bank!!!!! Live debt free!! Good for you
Yes Rene YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Taxes
Amen...if we could only get the entire country to do this and take back their power.
F me u know how much it goin to cost me i dont have any builder friends i guess if u hav 100k in the bank already i can be debt free to
@@BetterTogetherLife I’m 22 and I did this and payed it off in 6 months and a lot of over time now I have more money to have fun
I just cried watching this because this is exactly what our family wants! ❤️
I loved watching this video. It's great to see young people thinking and doing things that are smart and so much better for their families.
Yessss
One thing we're doing that has been a lot more useful than we thought... We put gutters on our house and redirect the rain water into a 2000 liter tank. Then we feed that through a berkey water filter and use it for drinking and cooking. It tastes better than any well or city water we've ever had. In the video it's not clear if you brought in city water or if you have a well. But having a second source of water would be nice either way. If you're on a well and the power goes out, you might not have water. And if you have municipal water, having another source can save you some money. You can also use the rain water for gardening, or if you want to have a source of water that you know is free from chemicals. You can use it to fill animal troughs or swimming pools also.
Oh YES!!!!! In November we will begin our rain water harvesting adventure!! 😁😁😁😁😁
@@BetterTogetherLife I'll never live without it again. Make sure you get a tank that isn't translucent. If it's translucent, like an IBC container, you'll have to paint it. You want it as dark as possible inside to fight algae. There's a device you should use, a first flush system. It's a vertical pipe with some kind of float or plastic bottle in it. When it first starts raining, the water fills that pipe first. The float then closes off that pipe so the water can run over it into the tank. You drill a tiny hole in the bottom of the pipe so that it slowly drains off when it's not raining. The idea is to throw away the first water that comes off the roof since that will be washing all the dirt or whatever off your roof. You should also put some window screen over the tank where the water enters. It will keep mosquitoes out and act as a filter for leaves and other things. You'll be amazed how much water you get. With a roof your size, an inch of rain should give you about 1000 gallons. I'm considering making an outdoor shower with a solar water heater fed by our tank.
@@brianlanning836 Wow thanks for the water tip!! Ur Awesome!!!
@Lemmiwinks We don't have any trees over our current house. So it's not an issue. There are a few gutter systems designed to collect water while shedding leaves and other things. Nothing will be perfect though. So I have a piece of window screen over the tank where the downspout ends.
Brian Lanning Such a smart plan.
I love their water dance especially when it was the whole family, lol. Super cute.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “water dance!!” Thank you Brooke for watching and commenting! Lol
I thought their water dance was a viral moment......LOVED IT!
This is so beautiful I cried. I'm jealous that I didnt do this and that my kids didnt get the opportunity to grow up with their mom around. As a single mom, I should have done this. This is just awesome on every level.
Thank you for this comment. I’m struggling on this decision as well.
We used drawers in our Ikea kitchen too. Only way to go! No more getting down on our knees to look for pots and pans!
My wife and I are currently in the process to accomplish the same goals for our family!
I love everything yall have done.
Your home is beautiful. Job well done
So awesome, thank you!!!!!
I saw that toaster oven, and I gotta respect it. I live in California and me and my family lost our house in the Camp Fire. We lived in a trailer for like 8 months and got a toaster oven gifted to us, and it changed our freaking lives. Even right now we finally moved into a house and have a oven and microwave but I still use the toaster oven alllllllll the time. Its so great.
Oh YES!!!!!! We soooooo love it!!!
You guys have done a wonderful job. I love it. I feel like we have done everything backwards and everything happened that to prevented us moving forward with our homestead. We have 12 acres and we put our shed on it to convert. And everything and anything happened to prevent us from getting the work done. From illness to taking care of an ill parent to death to cancer and surgery and more death and more surgeries. We got to a point that we just said ok. After fighting for four years to get it done. We let go and took care of the real important things, for family. Things are better. We are sad for the lose of family members and praise God they are cancer free and doing well. I’m happy to say October 31st is my husband s last day at work after being a journeyman electrician for 30 yrs. he’s going back to school to learn a trade that he can make his own schedule. I see landscaping in our near future. And lots of improvement at our cabin. I love it when I look out over our land. It’s the most freeing feeling. I love the deer walking up by the back barn and playing peekaboo with our huskies. I have not laughed that hard in so long. And when it’s so hot you can’t take it anymore then we see our husky push through the back gate and run as fast as she could to jump into the pond. It’s like you are pushed to work as hard as your body will let you. And you think why am I doing this. Then you look up and see the most beautiful site all around you. And it’s all yours. I hope that someone will read this and understand that it’s not easy. Like when you still lived in the suburbs and were paying a thousand a month to get our land and cabin paid off but we did it. And how for two solid years we collected everything we could from habitat for humanity and goodwill and yard sale and the curb. And it’s all our and it looks great. I like it better than our big suburban home with all the showroom furniture in it. It’s pure joy to live an intentional life. Where sacrifice pays off. And it certainly did for you guys! God bless your family and your home! Leslye
THIS is soooooo amazing!!!!!!!!
Thank you thank you for sharing your story, I read every word and it gives us soooooo much joy and we can not wait until you comment back in the future saying, WE DID IT!!!!!
We are full time living on our land!!
It might be easy for some folks but for us it took a lot of hard work and sacrifice and working through and in spite of serious health issues. Never give up.
James couch it would have been awesome if we had not had to put our homestead on hold. Our problem came in when family we were responsible for lived in another city. And it was not just one family member it was several. But when we made the sacrifice to let go of our own dreams for a while to care for our parents many doors were opened. And it brought me back to an area that I can get help for my psoriatic arthritis mutalins. Mutalins is the most extreme form of arthritis you can have. So for me to have done as much as I have is a miracle. Very soon we will be back at it. Now that my father is cancer free. He had three surgeries and will need one more but he is going to get through it. And almost everything has been handled from my father in laws estate. That was the biggest job we have ever taken on. I’m looking forward to being in our cabin again. And moving forward with plans to improve the land. And there is a boat in our future. We are five minutes to the boat dock of a very large river in Tennessee. If I had it to do over, I would still choose taking care of our family even if it means our desires are put on hold. Family first. And then the blessing pour in. The year we had with my father in law was priceless. I wish we had another year. My dreams may have been on hold but I will not give completely up on them even with severe arthritis. Leslye
@@cabinlifeatedensprings1710 that is a beautiful testamony. Yes, people are always more important than things...lay not up treasures on earth but in heaven. You will be blessed in this life and the life to come.
Whoohoo! When y'all started this journey, you didn't know how to do any of this stuff. Now you have skills - real skills - and the knowledge that you *_can_*_ do it._ So proud of you!
Kristen, we talk about you allllll the time! You’re the best counsel and encourager-kelly
@@BetterTogetherLife Me‽ I'm honored, and surprised.
Really, though, I am so stinkin' proud of you. You've come _so far _*_so fast!_*
Y'all got gumption - and now you have an awesome homestead on which to raise your children.
Of course Kirsten!!!! YOU are one of the originals! You have given us so much encouragement over the years and actually believed that we could do this!!!
Thank you Kirsten, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
We are doing something similar. The suburban "American dream" feels more like a TRAP. It is a totally amazing feeling to have your goals change ❤ much love on your new adventure!!!
Because of a lot of "Professionals" and an absolutely insipid bunch of local "Governmental" people, the "American Dream" has turned into a massive nightmare! No monster ever shown in a Horror Film has EVER been this bad! Housing Officials and such do their best to suck as much money out of you and I through their own nefarious ways, through codes and zones and such. A long time ago, it didn't used to be that way. Their ways are merely "Big Brother" telling us what to do. I'm so sick of it!
YES! You can live in a *huge* house like that!
I raised our family of 7 in a 21'×22' house. We didn't have "store bought electricity" for the 1st 10 years.
In just a few, very fast, years; you'll be THRILLED with your decision! You'll do GREAT!
BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
My wife and I loved it from the state of Washington
Thank you soooooo much Larry!!!!!
Yeah my daughter in Idaho is doing the same thing bought a shed and now is converting it for a family of four just in the beginning of it
Hello mortgage free living!!!😀 Big congrats to you all! Love this time laps video!!! Remember the first time we came out to do a site evaluation before delivering your shed house. It looks so different now and y’all have made some really impressive progress. So happy for y’all! Really great vid too!!
Congratulations 🎉😊. That is such a brilliant idea never would have thought of make a shed into a beautiful home. That’s what me and my husband needs really bad. I absolutely love ❤️ it. What a GREAT job you guys have done. And thank you for putting it on here to show everyone you can have a home. Love it
Thank you so much Vicky!! Please stay tuned and subscribe so you don’t miss the tour SATURDAY MORNING!!!!
Who would dislike this? I'm proud of their hard work. Very few are willing to go that far to be happy. Great job!
Downvoted because of the ending. Just say tour next video without the lead-in. Just annoying. But they probably did a fantastic job. So good for them. And good on them for making money on you tube.
When I left the service I got a job as a water bailiff and I lived in what most people in far Scotland would call wood shed and over the course of a year I installed 3 solar panels which In hindsight was too much when you consider how little time I spent in it. There was a stream about 100 hundred yards from my billet which flowed in a small lochen and for me with all the wild life in abundance it was heaven for me and I envy you all for the adventures you’ve had and the experiences you’ll all have in future, fair winds and calm skies to you all
You killed it with this video! Such a powerful story of commitment and determination to make dreams a reality. Loved every second of it!!
Oh Jen (and Chris) thank you so much!!!!! You gotta go and chase down those dreams for sure! 🤣🤣
This is one of the nicer shed to home I have seen. Good job. Thank you for posting.
Thank you! Just wait until the tour video!
Liiiisten me and my husband would have divorced and remarried about 10x already doing this project together lmbo.good job guys really good job
'making a home out of nothing into something is truly glorious.. always be thankful for the little things in..
life..truly amazing..love and peace..✌️💖
Love the fact, you two worth and agree together.
"Better in the struggle together than apart." If more coupes got this simple concept....
The house looks amazing. I loved the narration by Kelly. This labor of love is the best sales pitch for small house/big land living you could ask for. God bless, guys. We'll chat soon.
Thank you Matthew!!!! God bless the Thomas family on yalls new adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁
My husband and I are this way. We are inseparable. I’ve always told him I’d live in a cardboard box with him if I had to. I’d rather do that than live in a mansion without him.
You have every right to be proud of yourselves! Such a beautiful home you have built! Enjoy it!!!
Thank you sooooo much Bonnie!!!!!!
I love your families style. It looks really pretty and I appreciate the fact that you are prioritizing life together vs. keeping up with the......! SMART!!!!
Yea, I kicked “the Joneses” to the curb a looooooooooong time ago.
Unfortunately I am realizing that I can always go against the grain, I need to take each decision in life separately and stop always being a rebel.
But I just always think that the masses are WRONG! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love it! I lived outside Houston from.2011 to 2022. I moved back to California to finish out my career. I'm 59 years old. I'm going to buy 5 to 10 acres asap outside Houston. Possibly east Texas or northeast by Huntsville. I have bought property at the Texas tax deed auctions before so I'm hoping I can find something there and save money. I'm really happy for you guys. You totally inspire me. I want something almost off grid. I have 10k watts of solar power stations for blackouts and some 400 watt solar panels to change the generators. I'd love to grow some vegetables and plant some fruit trees. I hope the S#t doesn't hit the fan but I want to be prepared as much as I can in case. Plus I just love the country and trees like yourself. Enjoy your lives😊
WAY TO GO , IT'S BEAUTIFUL GUYS !!!!!! THE STAIRCASE CABLE'S ARE BAD ASS !!!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
If it ever becomes an issue in the future and the kids/clothes get hooked on the cut off ends of the wires on the stairs put some heat shrink tubing over them. Cleans it up nicely and protects anyone getting poked.
:)
Yup! That’s what we have done.
@@BetterTogetherLife You only need two ends, and zig-zag the wire back and fourth across the gap... that minimizes the raw ends and needs only ONE turnbuckle.
My first thought when I saw those cables was, "YES, a stairwell that doesn't have to be dusted!" Brilliant.
You guys are so better together! and brilliant. I loved the recap and hooked on the tour to follow ;)
Thank you buddy!!!!!!!
How wonderful for your whole family! Very nice to downsize, and have more together quality time.
Well thank you so much Beth!!!!
This brings me back to 27 years ago when we did tbis with our 5 children. We bought a 3 acre wooded lot and a single wide trailer and built a 2700 sq foot 5 bedroom and 4 bathroom house with a huge front and back porch abs moved in it while we built. The first two weeks we had no plumbing or electric and used the most interesting ways to include washing dishes in tubs also lol. So many things hit home. We were so tired for a few years. We never seem to be able to stop building and improving. It was addicting and we had growing boys to help and we ended up with a beautiful place. It’s awesome what you are doing. Kids will appreciate this when they are olde d teaches them a lot.
Define “Family Values”.
Absolutely Incredible....
“Debt free and mortgage free.” The quote of the century.
Heck yea!!!!!
Imagine a world where everyone believed debt only drags you down. What if EVERYONE was debt free? What would our economy look like?
@@ahuggins6 probably prosperous, if housing and education were basic rights for everyone, we'd have more money to spend on everything else, like... waaay more money to spend on everything else.
@@ThatKid22101, education should be up to the one who wants it, to acquire it. Housing the same as well.
My great-uncle told me many years ago: "If you want it badly enough you'll find a way. If you don't (want it badly enough) you'll find an excuse."
Te problem is that too many are unwilling to do the work and make the sacrifices to get what they want.
This might be a silly question but I genuinely would love to know…How did you guys/your husband know how to do everything? I mean like everything? Like the pipes in the ground outside, where to put them, how deep to dig, just knowing to dig period, and even like knowing who to get help from, but also the simple things like how to do a door frame or when to use a table saw??? My mind is more blown on the fact that you guys were able to create this basically all DIY lol and how you guys knew what to do and how to do it. I mean sure I could google it but I wouldn’t even know WHAT I needed to google lol I am so impressed. Very happy for you guys. This is such a dream of mine 🥰 d Thank you for sharing with the rest of us❤ such a beautiful home and family
Hi there Lisa, thank you soooooo much for your comment.
I honestly had ZERO clue or skills on how to build anything!!! I just started. I bought a basic Ryobi cordless set of tools and I started building stuff. First was a small stool, then some garden beds, and then WATCH THIS VIDEO….
ruclips.net/video/vwjyv4ZD5ds/видео.html
Skip to the middle of the video and you’ll see how CLUELESS I was about construction. NO IDEA. 🤣🤣🤣 But I somehow figured out how to build “a home for rabbits” way before I figured out how to build a home for humans.
And then of course, I outsourced things like rough plumbing and electric. I don’t care to know those things. And then I found a friend that does construction and I paid him to do some of the work on our home and to use me as his assistant. So I was able to learn even more skills.
But mainly, you just gotta jump in the water!
Looking good, I like how the whole family was involved /cheers to you guys.
Thanks a bunch!!!! Yup, it’s been great to have the kids learn a few building skills along with me!
@@BetterTogetherLife That is what life is all about :-)
I paid $10,200 for my 14x40 shed, and bought my daughter, son in law and their new born son the same size. I put both sheds together in an L shape and then a few years later I bought another shed that is a 16x50 and made it mine and husbands new place. Then we connected the first 2 buildings and rearranged some things and by cutting out a hallway and adding a small roof to that part and now it has become a 2 bedroom 2 bath home for them with 1150 square feet. If they have another child they can always get another shed and connect it like we did to make it 1,400 square feet. Around here a plain 1,400 square foot home on 1/8 acre would cost $200,000. But doing 3 sheds we can do it for $50,000. And that’s even buying all new appliances and not repurposed items. Think outside the box and it’s always a win win. Most people want to start large and that’s where they get into financial problems. Each shed we got did not required a credit check and we were able to pay monthly payments for 5 years. Our first one was $485 a month for 5 years and 2 years later we got the 2nd one. Now I’m in the process of building a porch inside the L shaped house to connect both doors to a huge porch for their son to play on and an above ground pool right off the porch for us all to swim. We live beside each other so when I get older my daughter and grandson will be there to help me. Also, If my parents ever need a place to stay at the end of their lives they can always stay with me even though it’s a smaller place because everything is built wheelchair accessible inside the house. Think forward in life and you’ll save a lot of money.
Mandy, this is SOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this so much, huge congrats!!!!
Hello I am Terissa Lynn from Tuscumbia, Alabama I just watched the family on RUclips I really enjoy watching y'all I love y'all's beautiful house .
Oh well THANK YOU Terissa!! 😁😁
I think you guys are awesome. It takes a lot of courage to do what you guys did. I'm digging deep within myself to do the same. God bless you and your family 🙏 wish you guys the best.
I love it! My family and I are from Houston as well and are at the beginning of THINKING about doing the same thing!! I’m tired of working long hours and missing everything my family does!!!! Good inspiration, thanks!
Just beautiful, and you picked all the finishes I would have.
Thank you Sherry!! All of the credit goes to Kelly! She designed every inch of our home. I just sort of told her how fast we can build it. 🤣🤣
Great job. We built our own 1100 SQ ft house for the same reasons 10 years ago. We also did the same with a HUGE deck. Debt free is a blessing. Great job. Anyone else considering, yes you can do it!
That’s awesome!
You guys had a very talented carpenter
Andrew is very good. He taught me A LOT!!!!
What a beautiful home! I am a single mother of 2 little boys and my dream is to one day have a tiny home!
THANK YOU Tommie!!!!!!!!!
Is this. Tiny home?
So impressive - determination and willing to do what’s needed to complete your end dream! I am envious and humbled at the same time! I hope you have many happy years living your dream!!!
Wow THANK YOU Annie!!!!! That is so sweet to hear!!! You can do it..... IF you really want to. It’s a harder life than we thought, but Way more rewarding than we thought also!!!

I really admire families that can live in small quarters like that and be the happiest people you've ever seen
The amount of work , patience and persistence.... amazing. When you really want something you go for it. Such ambition
Marissa, that’s awesome! You sound like you’ve had some experience with it!
This was amazing all around! You guys must be so proud of all your hard work and perseverance. Thanks for sharing the journey.
It helps to see it all come around in a short timespan. There are many days when we think we haven’t made any progress, but this video helps us see how much we have accomplished!
This is awesome! I’m in the process of starting my own shed to house conversion. I’ve applied to the Facebook group you made. Looking forward to picking your brains and getting so many ideas!
Doing something similar when I finish college so I can afford travel and able to afford my modified cars
How what do you do?
Dont do it in central texas or the toranados will roll you 3 times a tear
Fucking same!!! I can’t afford all these cars I wanna build and a normal house 🤣 not unless a partner helped me but for just me I wanna do this
Both are hobbies for the retired, focus on saving money so you can retire one day.

Thank you Kelley!!!!!!!
Congrats on turning a shed into a beautiful home, looking forward to seeing the interior all finished, but can we also have a homestead update, please.
Lesley I sooooooooooo understand what you are saying!!!
We are going to get some of these Shed to House videos out of our system so that it makes the masses happy (because let’s be honest, these videos are watched way more!)
Then I will be go back to the daily homesteading life! Plus it is getting to fall weather so we can finally start growing again!!
@@BetterTogetherLife The question is total cost with land
Just now watching this and oh my gosh....😢 I'm getting all emotional over how far you've come, what you've learned, and how you've grown!!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Eric is BAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!! What is up my friend?
How is life treating you? We need to catch up for sure!
@@BetterTogetherLife Things are great! Getting our first real tastes of Fall, getting future horse pastures seeded, possibly harvesting our layers soon, and other various things that have apparently decided that they need done now. Ha!
You totally left me hanging! Lol, I'm excited to see the next video, as always. Beautiful work y'all.
Hahaha, I PROMISE!!! The next video you will FINALLY get to see the full tour!
For some people this home would be like a villa... beautiful home 👌
Love it! I especially dig putting the scrap pile to use to make something useful. That's what the scrap pile is FOR.
You are right!
This is a grand project! How amazing it's turned out. great work
Yeah, most definitely could live in that.
That is alot of people's dream spot
love your loftshed I'm based in the UK and embrace solar technology I would love to live in a shed like what you got folks regards from Mark and Cornwall UK
Thank you Mark!!!!! We wish you all the luck!!!!
Bless your hearts! My son did this and loves it. Im praying about doing myself ❤
Perfect, just perfect. Wish you all best and lot's of joy
getting geared up to do the same,lucky we own a sawmill👍
Ooooooo wow!!!! Ok yes, I would love to purchase a sawmill someday. That would be killer!!!
Please tell me more about yours? What brand/model? And may I ask how much a decent sawmill runs?
Tim Irwin Awesome!!! Good luck on your adventure!
This video is amazing, inspiring and so helpful! Thank you! 💜
Wow thank you April so much!!!!
I know how expensive labor can be especially for a carpenter.it's a good thing your husband knows exactly what he's doing because that right there would cost you more than material.
yeah the cost all get astronomical if you cant do all the hard work!
Congrats and good luck with your a beautiful home and life.
Gr8 place. Good to see it all coming together too. God bless you in your new home.
I think ya'll did a great job. A lot of mobile homes aren't build that good. One the to, if you ever want or need extra room you can always close in one of the porches.
Yup!!!! That is what our thought has been also. 😁😁😁😁
Patricia Medlin yes, these are built so much better then a mobile home.
Am I the only one noticing that the deck has a better foundation than the house?
It’s not a house it’s a converted shed, but you’re right it should have had a better foundation.
Yeah it kinda cares me since there is kiddos around
@@2010sinnamon Well, it's not quite scary, for a shed that's being used as a shed its fine. For a house though, not having a slab or proper concrete bases for the supports will lead to uneven settling, causing cracks in the sheet-rock and doors and windows that don't function properly. To fix that with the house in place is going to be much harder than doing it correctly beforehand.
That's the thing, it's not a house, it's a shed and not built to be lived in for many reasons.....most of them having to do with safety.
@@sanautin What are these areas that it's insufficient might I ask? It being originally intended as a shed has NOTHING to do with whether or not it's built to code or can be modified to meet code. If a structure is large enough to require a permit then I'm pretty sure that it has to be built to code and that shed is definitely large enough to require one.
OMG....My husband and I are doing this exact same thing.... At first we were doing it for us as a guest house for him and I to live in. Adult kids came home plus we care for an aging parent. So ran out of room fast...changed mind. Make guest house big enough for adult kids!
That's so great CJ! Are you a member of our Shed to House FB group?

How you guys get started? Seeking knowledge, pointers, & insight.
Congrats and especially to the kiddos. Nothing greater than them having the property to grow up on.
Home is where you lay your head by enjoying family time blessings t you and yours
This is exactly where I'm at in thinking. Fed up with having nothing but debt!
Oh Lauri, yes I agree! Have you looked into Dave Ramsey?
@@BetterTogetherLife Not until now. Thanks for the info! Very helpful!
"I love what ya done with the place." LOL. Seriously, great job, it looks fantastic.
Thanks a bunch!!!!!!

Better to live in a shed than Houston any time !
Agreed!!!!! 🤣🤣
It's better to live in a shed then any city any were
Better to live anywhere but Houston.
I love TEXAS !
Houston, Texas ! No wonder you don't have an accent! ~ grew up in Beaumont. 🤣😆😂😄🤣😆
Gr8 job on your home.
I would TOTALLY do that!
Good on you, putting your family ahead of indebtedness for a house that you obviously didn't need, lowering you carbon footprint etc. Congrats!
God willing, I want to do something like this one day.....
Do it Luis!!!! You’ll love it!
@@BetterTogetherLife I know that it would be a worthwhile endeavor, but I know next to nothing about carpentry, plumbing, electrical. lol
Not to mention, zoning laws, etc. I'll have to learn.
This gave me all the feels! Have I told you lately how proud I am of you and what an honor it’s been to walk alongside y’all in this?! Dang, guys. ❤️
But then I made the mistake of reading some of the comments...ooh, buddy... trying to tame the protective bestie in me.
Get ‘em Keri!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-Beau
Oh, and of course we just love and miss y’all soooooooo much!!!!!!!
I couldn't, I had to get a couple. I'm a gemini so there's one of us that can't always be tamed. I'm in love with this family and this build.
That's why I picked my home too. Almost there so close.
What a blast ! The best part is you being there for one another during the whole process (minus the 6 weeks).
Oh thank you so much Christopher!!! So true!
