indeedy... I have one that's a work in progress as soon as I find someone to love me enuff to quide me on how to do it as I am certainly lost... HELP ME PLEASE lol
I got the 10x20 one for $5500 (5% off cuz it was a repo). With a block crawl space, framing/finishing inside, and hooked into full home systems, I added 2 windows on the back wall too. it cost me about &20k. I love it.
@@laurenbelle6760look around online for builders near you. In the midwest there are a lot of them built by Amish and Mennonites. But any of the places that finance them will always have two or three repos on the lot. Hope this helps
I've done several of these. You can do so much with them. I am going to sell or rent out my 5th wheel after I finish my mini-cottage for me to live in. Very small! But for me - at 74 - I don' t want a lot of space. And easier to just walk out the door - get in truck and take a trip! Love the finishes he used. Great job!
@@MaLiArtworks186 Yes, as long as you sign off on it will never be a living unit. Building inspectors in PA will do unannouced "follow ups" in office use of tiny homes. I know of three people that have tried this.
I think you could extend the porch out 4 or 5 feet by moving the railing to the eadge of the new area. Then you'd have more room to swing or sit in the sun area. Also more area for other people to sit on the.porch.
That's the very first thing I noticed when he went inside! I was going to say something but I thought, "Oh shut up, Lisa, you caomplain too much," Thanks for beating me to the punch. Of course, it took a few women to have a critique ; )
@@anna-lisagirling7424 I don’t cook I wouldnt know lol but i do kno they make tops for pots and pans for a reason lol But knowing how much me n my ole lady cook when we do I think that would a perfect set n in my head when we build our the crock pot n grille will get the ever day uses
Beautiful setting, beautiful tiny space! Using a shed is so practical. There is no reason it couldn't be a permanent tiny home option. It's 60 sq ft larger than my home. The floor plan, design, and finishes are all good choices. Thanks for the tour! 💗
This is the most stunning shed interior I've ever seen! His interior design eye is top-notch. Once I have land, I would 100% copy this build in a heartbeat.
7:39 it's a gorgeous build. I just have to say, this man has never cooked and/ or slept in the loaf. Other than those two rather major things, I love it.
Nick this is the best shed conversion ever! It clearly stands out because of your great taste plus your heart and soul. I appreciate your thoughts of how this would temporarily help those living in tents. 💙🙏🏼
I like everything he’s showed. I think the porch should be a little bit bigger so you can swing better in your swing. Also, the stove is in a weird spot to me. It’s too close to the sink while they’re so much more open space available where it could go.
I would've definitely extended the front porch out about 6 more feet. The purpose of tiny living is to enjoy and take advantage of the outside. Personally I love the tiny homes with wrap around porches.
Since it's a corner where you can't do much with, I think that the burners works okay, but it is a bit awkward. Shorter people would have trouble cooking on it without something to stand on. I wish I would have gotten a 6 or 8 foot porch on my cabin instead of a 4 foot one. The swing is WAY too big for that porch.
❤that is awesome ❤. I have been divorced for 30 years an have looked at these but just never had anyone to build the inside for me...this is all i woukd need..you done a AWESOME JOB...I LOVE IT...
Love it! It's beautiful! That upper hand grab in loft is a great idea. The safety rail in smaller loft. The classy bathroom, cosy living zone & gorgeous kitchen. It has it all. ( One thing I'd change is hot plate placement. It's too far set back for me. ) 😁👍♥️
@australianwoman9696 I thought so too but I guess he had to put it further back closer to the corner to be able to stand on the counter to climb up the ladder to get to the !oft.
I would make it so the sliding barn door for the bathroom does not have a big gap open to the kitchen when "closed" as I would find the odors coming from toilet use spreading into the kitchen quite the turn off.
Last yr, my son's friend bought this and we wired it for him in a weekend! Elec hot water tank went under the stair landing. Elec Panel was above that with elec service meter on the N end of the building. Circuits went up through upper and lower stair well walls. Toilet, shower, was under stairs, 30" door on rt end. Kitchen cabinets from stair to bathroom door. Wood stove in S. back corner of liv room. Mini/split AC N end, next to elec service. Upstairs big bedroom and sleeper/sofa down stairs for company. His 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. 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!
I would love to have a tiny home. I think it would be affordable living for me with only a SSI income. The problem is the price to get one made and finding a location here in Ohio. I love and dream of these amazing homes especially when it’s all one floor because being disabled that is needed. Such amazing work. ❤❤😊
I think the layout and everything about it looks good the only concerns I see are the stove is too close to the wall and it's not really manageable and workable and the TV seems too close to the couch....
Very cute and nice finishes. Its a tiny home so expanding and enlarging this or that space defeats the object. It is incredible how well the space is utilised. ❤
States need to start changing laws around building codes. Making them okay as an ADU only helps people who already have homes. There are SO many seniors living in cars, it's shameful. Many people could be housed if they simply made these LEGAL.
Why would they ever allow people to be able to afford to fully own a home without destroying their financial future? Isn't it always things that would make our lives easier and more affordable that they tend to demonize and ban?
I have a feeling he put that up just for show and it's probably not up 24/7. I agree with you and it really doesn't look that comfortable for anyone that is of average size. I would just hang it from a tree somewhere on the property. other than that it looks pretty nice, oh one other thing I didn't really like the placement of the 2 burner stove, that kind of looked funky to me. I'm sure he has some sort of technical issue for that though.
Have you thought of putting 2 sheds together for more space? You did a great job...The housing market is terrible, this could work! Great video. Where is Index? I live in Wa. Also
I like it! You stand up, and you are on one side, and when you turn around, you are on the other! You turn the vacuum on, and you're finished! Who would have thought you could have a house that can fit into your little bedroom?
It is super easy to frame out/build popouts that significantly increase the area of these tiny houses. For example, putting in a 4' x 2' popout in the bathroom to place the sink in will make the bathroom be and feel so much roomier.
I don't think he thought the layout out too well. The living room area should've occupied the larger space & the kitchenette should've been in the nook next to the bathroom, instead of turning the whole place into a kitchen. That's just my opinion
Agree, huge amount of space for a “kitchen” that doesn’t have a stove or decent size fridge. The colors and decor are very nice, but the design is not a good use of the space.
It’s so nice to actually see a tiny home. I built an 8 x 16 and I absolutely love it but people will say 800 ft.² my first house when I had kids was 800 ft.² and I had a formal dining room that’s not a tiny house.
The biggest problem with this is being able to find a place that will let you park these! If it's not a legal issue or a neighborhood property HOA restriction, then you are in luck. But these things are causing people to not be able to have these tiny homes.
If they ACTUALLY try to make them affordable and not just expensive little homes. Some of the prices of these container home and trailer homes are ridiculous.
@Mary-zr1vi you have to find the land. HOA people are inherently elitist, Id NEVER own where I had to pay a fee AND still had a group of people tell me what I could or couldnt do with "MY" land. Find some unrestricted land
Nick that's a Great lookin shed to Tiny home build, that marble shower is really Beautiful and I really appreciate you stand up f9r the homeless living in tents and those that are very close to becoming homeless! There are too many homeless in my home city in Northwestern Lower Michigan. Great Work 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice. The only problem I see with shed house conversions like this is they don't have a vapor barrier between the studs and the exterior plywood sheathing. If it were me I take all that sighting off, add a layer of foam insulation wall board, and then wrap it with Tyvek wrap before putting the original plywood wall boards back on. If only there were a shed maker to cater to the conversion market! They could make units wrapped like that, maybe with wall studs that are 2 ft taller to allow for roomier lofts.
Nick is both skilled and talented but I found his designs not affordable places to stay, most likely many who watch. I was so excited to see his focus on ideas like this shed conversion to provide affordable housing for those whose shelter is a tent... or, less. He can do both and I find the balance of gorgeously located, amazing rentals (the A frame is still my favorite) and comfortable lovely tiny homes wonderful!
He did this entire shed build on $30k, that's including the purchasing of the shed bare bones at $8k, plus the delivery and install, all of the material, foundation electrical and plumbing... $30k is on the *lowest* end of what a new car cost these days, basically for a base model. So, I'm not sure how you would consider that to not be affordable housing... You literally will not find anything cheaper. Even most tiny houses these days have a starting price of $100k+, same with camper vans and other rigs. Also, you can't possibly compare this to someone who lives in a tent or "less than". A tent doesn't have anywhere near the amount of structural integrity or protection from the elements, nor does it have all of the amenities and modern conveniences like indoor plumbing with running water, electricity, and a full working kitchen. So, I'm not understanding the point you're trying to make here...
@@sashabenoit1518ree with your comment 💯%!! This is the cheapest living l have seen, and a very nice job utilizing the space! And the previous ‘greedy’ comment is completely unnecessary.. but I’m sure that Nick is laughing all the way to the bank! 😂 More power to him! We rent VRBOs all the time, so this is a great income property and there is money to be made in using these as rentals..👍🏻
This is your home and it is amazing enjoy your home it is for you no one else I like it probably others as well don't worry about people who always say what they would have done or changed they won't be doing anything because they watching you enjoy your life soooooooo great job🎉
Question - do you have moisture concerns under the shed? What I see potentially is a lot of moisture that over time could potentially cause mold. Thoughts? I live in the northeast in PA and this is one of the options I have been considering. I would need to drill water, install septic, and power. How hard was that to connect to that little home and did you have to plan it out with contractors in design phase? Another - in the northeast it gets cold 5 months a year. Would you recommend winterizing it? Have you considered like a mini split to try to control the temp when not rented? I see the AC unit in there but the northeast I might want optionality of heat/ac to ensure it doesn’t freeze. Last - security. My concern is doing this more than an hour from my house. Would try Ring or the like to monitor but now you have WiFi access issues. So I guess wondering what the plan is against vandals? Or is there WiFi? For a lot of these remote areas, you cannot get public WiFi but you may be able to do a satellite solution from musk’s company, but you need a lot of open sky for that. Might make sense to do that if you have multiple sheds on the property to then piggyback the wifi somehow, but you also don’t want them on top of one another. Thanks- love this!
i'm a PA attorney who used to represent land owners in zoning disputes. the issue with "tiny homes" is rather complicated. 1. to get a "conventional" mortgage (Federal HUD approved), the living structure must meet all building codes and have at least 762 sq.ft. of living space. 2. zoning codes for "R-1" (Residential only) follow the HUD requirements so in a R-1 municipal zoning district, a new "living" structure must pass all building codes and be at least 762 sq.ft. in living area. 3. "special" zoning districts do allow "small" living structures but these must be designated "Recreational Vehicles" camps and in these areas, "Park Model" RV's can be placed, however, by law, a "Park Model" tiny home must not be larger than 400 sq.ft. in living space to be allowed in the "RV District." 4. you can't get "home owners" or "residential" insurance on a "tiny home" less than a HUD or building code approved living structure. 5. tiny homes generally WILL NOT comply with national building codes including the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and "structural" codes. 6. you can't "rent" a living structure for "human occupancy" unless the structure passes all "health and building codes." 7. you can't get an "occupancy permit" allowing "human occupancy" of a structure unless the structure passes all health, safety, and building codes. 8. finally, allowing anyone to "live in", "temporarily stay in" or even "visit" a tiny home subjects the owner of the structure to civil liability if the "visitor" is injured while in the home. and this liability becomes more acute if the "visitor" is considered a "renter" or a "business invitee" (someone paying money to stay in the property). SO ... unless a municipality has "carved out" a special "legal" "tiny home" community or "zoning district", there are MULTIPLE problems and obstacles to having a tiny home as a "rental" on one's property. FINALLY - a property owner can certainly put up a tiny home on their property FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL USE - and in this case, the tiny home is just considered an "accessory structure" or "accessory building." THESE buildings are "she sheds" or "man caves" for the property owner, or even elaborate "pool houses." again, none of these "accessory buildings" can be rented out to a "non-family" member. parents could probably build a tiny home for their teenage son to live in so long as it was on the parent's property and their homeowner's insurance consented to the kid staying in the "shed."
Super cute love the layout and colors. I would have put the sink in front of the window, the cooktop where the sink was removed the window by the fridge and put a larger fridge and put a super large window for the views over the sofa and used a sofa bed. ❤ Forgot to add you could add a large white curtain to the living room closest to the fridge that could be pulled out.
I like the shed conversion to a tiny home. I love the interior. I probably would have placed the cooktop closer to the microwave and placed the sink under the window.
They had something similar to this design at a place that sells sheds by our local mall. I was looking at it and thinking that it would make a great tiny home.
Cute build, for sure. Though as with most tiny houses location makes the most of it. I wouldn't know many people who'd be able to call such a place their backyard. It's beautiful.
I live in a Midwest so I had to have an air conditioner go to Home Depot. They have an air conditioner heater all in one and I put it on the top and it works perfectly.
That's a good idea to do that with a shed I thought of it but I didn't think it'd be big enough. Two car garage would work just fine get rid of the garage doors
So, loads of counter space in the kitchen, but you can't cook because the cooktop is way on the back of the counter. I'm short, and I know I wouldn't be able to reach to properly cook on that. And it's super close to the window. Don't try having curtains there. I think that couch is very close to that giant TV. And I'd want a bathroom door that covered the whole doorway. Lastly, how do you even use that swing? It doesn't have room to move.
It is amazing how this can be done with a shed, especially in an expensive state like Washington. The shed was bought with a porch and windows made me question what the shed intended purpose was to begin with. 30,000 to build with amazing scenery is a deal I couldn't say no to. I wonder how much this would sell for.
Thirty thou. may be cheap for a house, but to rest that 30 grand on cement blocks with no footing & sheet rock skirts is gonna cost a hell of alot more when rain sinks those blocks. Then there's when the snow melts as well.
It’s cute but there’s a lot I would change if I owned it. But it was certainly well done. No doubt about it. I’ve looked at sheds myself. Unfortunately my sons backyard can turn into a swamp at certain times of the year. Its a shame because I would love to have one as a little home for myself. They are just so cool!
Maybe someone asked this already, but what about building permits for a conversion like this? I presume that there are different requirements and restrictions for each state and, more specifically, each county as well. But, generally, are permits easier to get for a shed conversion home?
was there an option for you to have gotten it framed in right to the front then add a porch once you finished the inside? the extra could have given you a bathroom with laundry across from it allowing the rest of the inside for more space? you did a fantastic job on it, nice work.
What a neat shed conversion into tiny home. I was curious how Nick handled the Gray and Black water from this tiny home. Does he have a leach field? Or perhaps the toilet is compostable??? thanks!
Do you find it safe to leave a permanent gap open underneath? Wouldn’t it be safer to build a door of sorts? I would be concerned about animals hiding and nesting (and dying) under the structure.
I would’ve made a larger living room and smaller kitchen utilizing the alcove area. Would’ve made a mini swing or put one in the yard. Overall great idea!!
Well, I’ll tell you what. A million views. Don’t you just have it all figured out. Real proud of what you done. I get it, and I’m going to build a similar project in my land in East Tennessee. 6 cabins. I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts that folks want to stay in the beautiful, undeveloped East Tennessee country. I think we’ve got the land to provide people, families, the homes they need. Whatever your family looks like, we’d love to provide you with unique opportunities to secure long term housing
Put the kitchen where the living room is and you have yourself a well thought out layout
indeedy... I have one that's a work in progress as soon as I find someone to love me enuff to quide me on how to do it as I am certainly lost... HELP ME PLEASE lol
I got the 10x20 one for $5500 (5% off cuz it was a repo). With a block crawl space, framing/finishing inside, and hooked into full home systems, I added 2 windows on the back wall too. it cost me about &20k. I love it.

The problem here in PA is that it is impossible to set this on land in PA except as ADU. Building codes are horrible in PA.
Try California.
Can you set it up as an office?
@@MaLiArtworks186
Yes, as long as you sign off on it will never be a living unit. Building inspectors in PA will do unannouced "follow ups" in office use of tiny homes. I know of three people that have tried this.
@rick3747 Can you attend meetings where they make the regulations? One rich woman in our area sued the county, so we can put up tiny houses. She won!
I think it would be hard in most areas.
I think you could extend the porch out 4 or 5 feet by moving the railing to the eadge of the new area. Then you'd have more room to swing or sit in the sun area. Also more area for other people to sit on the.porch.
Good idea!
That was my first thought! And a ramp!
My swing was cut in half and the guy put the extra arm rails on them so I could turn them toward each other. It turned out so cute
I like shed conversions a lot. The one thing about the kitchen I don’t like is the awkward placement of the cooktop. Seems very impractical.
seem like more prep space for a smaller area I would most definitely think it might be more practical in a small kitchen set up for sure
My same thoughts. The cooktop is in an uncomfortable spot for cooking.

Nick that's a Great lookin shed to Tiny home build, that marble shower is really Beautiful and I really appreciate you stand up f9r the homeless living in tents and those that are very close to becoming homeless! There are too many homeless in my home city in Northwestern Lower Michigan.
Great Work 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice. The only problem I see with shed house conversions like this is they don't have a vapor barrier between the studs and the exterior plywood sheathing. If it were me I take all that sighting off, add a layer of foam insulation wall board, and then wrap it with Tyvek wrap before putting the original plywood wall boards back on.
If only there were a shed maker to cater to the conversion market! They could make units wrapped like that, maybe with wall studs that are 2 ft taller to allow for roomier lofts.
Nick is both skilled and talented but I found his designs not affordable places to stay, most likely many who watch. I was so excited to see his focus on ideas like this shed conversion to provide affordable housing for those whose shelter is a tent... or, less. He can do both and I find the balance of gorgeously located, amazing rentals (the A frame is still my favorite) and comfortable lovely tiny homes wonderful!
Comment of not affordable places to stay especially for shacks.
Simply put He is Greedy! Karma will come back to bite him in the ass!
He did this entire shed build on $30k, that's including the purchasing of the shed bare bones at $8k, plus the delivery and install, all of the material, foundation electrical and plumbing... $30k is on the *lowest* end of what a new car cost these days, basically for a base model. So, I'm not sure how you would consider that to not be affordable housing... You literally will not find anything cheaper. Even most tiny houses these days have a starting price of $100k+, same with camper vans and other rigs. Also, you can't possibly compare this to someone who lives in a tent or "less than". A tent doesn't have anywhere near the amount of structural integrity or protection from the elements, nor does it have all of the amenities and modern conveniences like indoor plumbing with running water, electricity, and a full working kitchen. So, I'm not understanding the point you're trying to make here...
@@sashabenoit1518ree with your comment 💯%!!
This is the cheapest living l have seen, and a very nice job utilizing the space!
And the previous ‘greedy’ comment is completely unnecessary.. but I’m sure that Nick is laughing all the way to the bank! 😂 More power to him!
We rent VRBOs all the time, so this is a great income property and there is money to be made in using these as rentals..👍🏻
This is your home and it is amazing enjoy your home it is for you no one else I like it probably others as well don't worry about people who always say what they would have done or changed they won't be doing anything because they watching you enjoy your life soooooooo great job🎉
Great job, I think I would have e extended the porch so that the swing wouldn't look so cramped but other than that it's gorgeous..
There's no leg room for the swing..
I love the conversion ❤🤩
I love the rock art wall hanging. Very cool.
I ❤ the cabin! EXCELLENT BUILD & WHAT BEAUTIFUL DECOR!
Woooooooow this is so awesome!!!!! One of the BEST I’ve ever seen!!!!
Nick is so talented
Love it, I personally don't like loft areas but that's me, it still beautiful!!! Great job!🎉
It's really a kids hangout spot.
Ignore the haters, this is great. Big kitchen like that goes a long ways if you're catching your own food, like any fish out in that river.
This is the first older one I've looked at.Nice to know that the structures have held up for a while.
Question - do you have moisture concerns under the shed? What I see potentially is a lot of moisture that over time could potentially cause mold. Thoughts?
I live in the northeast in PA and this is one of the options I have been considering. I would need to drill water, install septic, and power. How hard was that to connect to that little home and did you have to plan it out with contractors in design phase?
Another - in the northeast it gets cold 5 months a year. Would you recommend winterizing it? Have you considered like a mini split to try to control the temp when not rented? I see the AC unit in there but the northeast I might want optionality of heat/ac to ensure it doesn’t freeze.
Last - security. My concern is doing this more than an hour from my house. Would try Ring or the like to monitor but now you have WiFi access issues. So I guess wondering what the plan is against vandals? Or is there WiFi?
For a lot of these remote areas, you cannot get public WiFi but you may be able to do a satellite solution from musk’s company, but you need a lot of open sky for that. Might make sense to do that if you have multiple sheds on the property to then piggyback the wifi somehow, but you also don’t want them on top of one another.
Thanks- love this!
It gives me hope that you care about affordable housing for people. Awesome build btw!
So nice! Very well done. Love your property, as well. Huge grats! 🥰
i'm a PA attorney who used to represent land owners in zoning disputes. the issue with "tiny homes" is rather complicated. 1. to get a "conventional" mortgage (Federal HUD approved), the living structure must meet all building codes and have at least 762 sq.ft. of living space. 2. zoning codes for "R-1" (Residential only) follow the HUD requirements so in a R-1 municipal zoning district, a new "living" structure must pass all building codes and be at least 762 sq.ft. in living area. 3. "special" zoning districts do allow "small" living structures but these must be designated "Recreational Vehicles" camps and in these areas, "Park Model" RV's can be placed, however, by law, a "Park Model" tiny home must not be larger than 400 sq.ft. in living space to be allowed in the "RV District." 4. you can't get "home owners" or "residential" insurance on a "tiny home" less than a HUD or building code approved living structure. 5. tiny homes generally WILL NOT comply with national building codes including the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and "structural" codes. 6. you can't "rent" a living structure for "human occupancy" unless the structure passes all "health and building codes." 7. you can't get an "occupancy permit" allowing "human occupancy" of a structure unless the structure passes all health, safety, and building codes. 8. finally, allowing anyone to "live in", "temporarily stay in" or even "visit" a tiny home subjects the owner of the structure to civil liability if the "visitor" is injured while in the home. and this liability becomes more acute if the "visitor" is considered a "renter" or a "business invitee" (someone paying money to stay in the property). SO ... unless a municipality has "carved out" a special "legal" "tiny home" community or "zoning district", there are MULTIPLE problems and obstacles to having a tiny home as a "rental" on one's property. FINALLY - a property owner can certainly put up a tiny home on their property FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL USE - and in this case, the tiny home is just considered an "accessory structure" or "accessory building." THESE buildings are "she sheds" or "man caves" for the property owner, or even elaborate "pool houses." again, none of these "accessory buildings" can be rented out to a "non-family" member. parents could probably build a tiny home for their teenage son to live in so long as it was on the parent's property and their homeowner's insurance consented to the kid staying in the "shed."
It’s pretty but that cooktop is in the corner. I’d hate to try and cook on that.
I would rent this in a heartbeat. How lovely. Well done.
Awesome home ! Cute outfit Jenna ! ❤
Super cute love the layout and colors. I would have put the sink in front of the window, the cooktop where the sink was removed the window by the fridge and put a larger fridge and put a super large window for the views over the sofa and used a sofa bed. ❤ Forgot to add you could add a large white curtain to the living room closest to the fridge that could be pulled out.
Not to keen on people stepping on the counter where you cook!
You do understand that you can wipe it down.
Yes!
You can always put a welcome mat on the counter 😂
@@jerriecook6908 How many people would remember to do that though?
you and I both.😂😅😂
I love this home!!! This would be a dream come true!!! And the property is stunning, its everything! This is all i want!!! ✌🏼💙🙏🏼
Great job! I love it.
The swing space is way too small. People determined to use it will cause damage.
Yeah, damage to their knees, let alone the railing
Why is the stovetop back in a corner? Cute conversion.
That was a question I have. Cooking on it would be difficult.
I could imagine that the placement would be functional.
Very Cozy! Love all that was done in this project!
Hate lofts with ladders.
Yes, it excludes people with ambulatory issues.
Not practical for long term residents.
I thought about doing this in a half acre property and renting it, I'm glad it is doable, I would buy slightly bigger, and fit maybe 2 or 3.
We bought a 12x40 with lofts. Total wiring, insulation, plumbing and shiplap. Had it for 2 years and sold it for 25,000
Beautiful for rental or holiday, with a fabulous location ❤
I like the shed conversion to a tiny home. I love the interior. I probably would have placed the cooktop closer to the microwave and placed the sink under the window.
They had something similar to this design at a place that sells sheds by our local mall. I was looking at it and thinking that it would make a great tiny home.
Cute build, for sure. Though as with most tiny houses location makes the most of it. I wouldn't know many people who'd be able to call such a place their backyard. It's beautiful.
i could see myself doing this. love the dark wood paired with the white. guy has a nice sweater too
Why is the induction stove so far back on the counter ?
Cozy little home. Would love to live in that. (with some changes to my liking of course).
I live in a Midwest so I had to have an air conditioner go to Home Depot. They have an air conditioner heater all in one and I put it on the top and it works perfectly.
Hot water heater? Why would you heat hot water? we say this in NC, too
That's a good idea to do that with a shed I thought of it but I didn't think it'd be big enough. Two car garage would work just fine get rid of the garage doors
The scenery is beautiful!❤😊
That's what I love about living in washington lol
I personally do not like lofts, however I love the layout of the rest, the set up, scenery. Everything else is gorgeous…💚
its great except the placement of the cooktop...why its off in the corner like that i dont understand
So, loads of counter space in the kitchen, but you can't cook because the cooktop is way on the back of the counter. I'm short, and I know I wouldn't be able to reach to properly cook on that. And it's super close to the window. Don't try having curtains there. I think that couch is very close to that giant TV. And I'd want a bathroom door that covered the whole doorway. Lastly, how do you even use that swing? It doesn't have room to move.
Quick question...I read somewhere that tiny homes are not insurable by some companies. Is that true ??
Great video! I loved it ❤
Such an nice easy going personality, very creative
It is amazing how this can be done with a shed, especially in an expensive state like Washington. The shed was bought with a porch and windows made me question what the shed intended purpose was to begin with. 30,000 to build with amazing scenery is a deal I couldn't say no to. I wonder how much this would sell for.
Thirty thou. may be cheap for a house, but to rest that 30 grand on cement blocks with no footing & sheet rock skirts is gonna cost a hell of alot more when rain sinks those blocks. Then there's when the snow melts as well.
It’s cute but there’s a lot I would change if I owned it. But it was certainly well done. No doubt about it. I’ve looked at sheds myself. Unfortunately my sons backyard can turn into a swamp at certain times of the year. Its a shame because I would love to have one as a little home for myself. They are just so cool!
Are you able to dump a load of dirt and stone into the swamp? Can you fill the area with dirt/ stone,so the water will be diverted away?
Maybe someone asked this already, but what about building permits for a conversion like this? I presume that there are different requirements and restrictions for each state and, more specifically, each county as well. But, generally, are permits easier to get for a shed conversion home?
I did this with a shed and didn't have to get a permit. Only if people will be living in them,do you have to get a permit
was there an option for you to have gotten it framed in right to the front then add a porch once you finished the inside? the extra could have given you a bathroom with laundry across from it allowing the rest of the inside for more space? you did a fantastic job on it, nice work.
What a neat shed conversion into tiny home. I was curious how Nick handled the Gray and Black water from this tiny home. Does he have a leach field? Or perhaps the toilet is compostable??? thanks!
i know where i live the electrical box would never be allowed to be over the sink but that's not a big problem
How would it stand up through a powerful wind storm?
That poncho hoodie is awesome
Do you find it safe to leave a permanent gap open underneath? Wouldn’t it be safer to build a door of sorts? I would be concerned about animals hiding and nesting (and dying) under the structure.
I would’ve made a larger living room and smaller kitchen utilizing the alcove area.
Would’ve made a mini swing or put one in the yard.
Overall great idea!!
Well, I’ll tell you what. A million views. Don’t you just have it all figured out. Real proud of what you done. I get it, and I’m going to build a similar project in my land in East Tennessee.
6 cabins. I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts that folks want to stay in the beautiful, undeveloped East Tennessee country.
I think we’ve got the land to provide people, families, the homes they need. Whatever your family looks like, we’d love to provide you with unique opportunities to secure long term housing
Incredible creative idea. I wondered how you get the electricity and water supply in the forest? I really want this happen to me in someday.
