It just makes sense, why be married to a large house payment. Even if you have some building skills , this is a less expensive option. The cool thing is you could set it up for 110 volt or 12 volt power. Then use propane to cook with, and use a fridge for an rv that goes 110 volt or 12 volt propane. After seeing this and being a carpenter for 35 years. I'm going build one like this. It's all one needs. Money in your pocket is better than wasting your life away trying pay for a home that is to expensive and cost you 3000k a month to own. Taxes go up, and wages go down.
There are so many different ways to make it unique and also to your skill level. We could have saved a lot of money as well by doing things cheaper. Check out our "cost of going off grid" video for the info.
@@userumbleyoutubesucks2871a house is a structure that has 4 walls and a roof and is a place of residency. A shed is a structure used for storage. So yes, it is a house. Just cuz it ain't big doesn't mean it ain't a house.
So so smart, I'm happy this common sense is growing and catching on....beautiful comfy little home, the kids have such a beautiful yard and pond...frogging and fishing...all the stuff that really matters! Not Tick tock crap! Yaaa for you guys from a CT shed to camp friend
Pretty nice. I was surprised that there was no upper cabinets in the kitchen or bathroom, to keep medicines out of eyes of little ones. The tub is nice. I saw an idea under the stairs was made into a pantry or kids hidden toy place. The tin ceiling is a nice effect for the style you have. Nice work so far.
Not a fan of the tin. We started on knotty pine. All of our supplements are not harmful for the children. :) We don't have anything over the counter or prescription. We will have to show the loft area soon!
Hi, Thank you for the video. You didn't show the upstairs. I was curious as to how you turned that into the bedrooms. Also do you plan on adding on to this as your children need more room? Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. ☺️ ✌️ ☮️ 🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊
I recently started looking into shed to house conversion and this is the exact size I wanted. This video definitely showed me how big this model would be! Just a quick question how much was it for them to input the electric? (Was it a set price for this size model?) Stay safe!
I'm totally surprised that they even make sheds that big on the open market. Like how much stuff do some people even have to fill out a 50 x 16 ft shed?? That being said, the shed-home looks great.
that kitchen tables is called a breakfast nook and it's real common in the neighborhoods I grew up in in North county St Louis they were small older homes built in the 50- 60s that's about all the room for a kitchen table you had if you wanted to put a kitchen table in your actual kitchen
The only thing I highly recommend is to put vents on the bottom. It’ll mold under there without ventilation and will eventually rot your floors because it’ll hold moisture.
How did you add the transom dormer to the barn style building? When I called Derksen they told me the transom dormers were only available for the cabin style buildings. Thanks for your help!
Yes they can. It's not the "same" way and you have to find the right company! You insure them as a shed but you calculate the belongings and we negotiated a plan.
@@mainmeadowsanctuary961 Derksen buildings are all over, Giddings Texas has a factory that you can check out on RUclips! € Btw guys your cabin looks awesome, plus that deck is fantastic!
@anne lawler I want to know which state too, so I can stay away from there. That was a massive snake! I don't want things like that around anywhere I call home.

We have another video on our total cost breakdown for starters we have obviously invested more since then on other projects around our property. Hoping to add some new content soon :). The empty shell of the shed insulated and wired for electric cost 30k the deck was another 8k.
the only reason to try to live in 16 foot wide, is for road delivery. In this case, having a bunch of family to share space, better off building a 3 car garage, 24x32...tons of space to work with, than build a main house.
We plan to do a video discussing cost and a breakdown. Everything we did including shed conversion, land, well drilled, solar system, tools and all furnishing was all achieved for under 75k

You've accomplished what most folks have not, turning a shed into a house. Not impressed it looks more like a cheap mobile home rather than a house. You could have done so much better than that ugly ceiling material and what ever that mess is you've put on the walls. I guess to each their own. Sorry for being so critical but the opening video shows this nice looking building and loads of windows and then we see the inside !
@@mainmeadowsanctuary961 Cool I hope you choose a material that looks better than that rusty tin. Sorry I was so negative, didn't mean to be rude. Was just speaking my mind. And yes not having debt is a definite win win. Good luck
The good thing about a shed vs a mobile home is that you can customize it the way you want to and make it extra personable and homey ❤ yes I hated the tin lol 😆 then we had knotty pine but took it down for walls in the school house.

I don't know where you live,to pay 3000 a month payments,but I know I would be moving,if that was the case.
And you can always add on in the future to make more room whe the money is convenient.
I agree
😭 I love it so much. Its REAL. You guys should be so proud of yourselves. You've given your family something no one can take from them. ❤
Love it! We're thinking of going this route and seeing like - minded people is so encouraging
It is a shed it will always be a shed. Build a house. It will appreciate in time and you can sell for profit. A shed will not.
Indeed👏

Brother nice work, good luck with everything

Luv the tour, Idea for you. Add a used wooden picture fame to wall for the cat door
Just subbed very interested in your house , pond and solar system . Looks like a great channel
Awesome job!
Awesome man!
@1:50 I thought I was playing Division 2 when I saw that blue cooler. Could've been a gear cache or just some components for the checkpoints.
Love how the rain water collection pipe goes right across the middle of the exterior window, classy.
Thank you! I thought it was a nice touch :D
The wrap around porch and that huge tub!

Its usually around $750 for a basic package
@@mainmeadowsanctuary961 do they just add it to the total cost or need it up front?
Sure, but you are not doing it anyway, and that good for you, because this house is crap.
if u dont mine me asking what did it cost to have them do the wiring and spray insulation
I'm totally surprised that they even make sheds that big on the open market. Like how much stuff do some people even have to fill out a 50 x 16 ft shed??
That being said, the shed-home looks great.
So cool!
Great work. Did it come with the Dormer?

Never seen a building this size
What's the upstairs look like?

I love this i need. One
@ Joseph Atnip
Florissant?
The outside of that shed is beautiful
Hey bud what size is that storage next to your living room
4x12ft
I noticed earlier , That I haven't heard from you'll!😁
The only thing I highly recommend is to put vents on the bottom. It’ll mold under there without ventilation and will eventually rot your floors because it’ll hold moisture.
Thanks!
@@mainmeadowsanctuary961 your welcome. Love it though. Just have had personal experience with that issue.
Love this shed
How much did this size cost you. Ill love to have this model
very nice
How did you add the transom dormer to the barn style building? When I called Derksen they told me the transom dormers were only available for the cabin style buildings. Thanks for your help!
We put our porch on the side
How much was the total for renovation and shed?
I wonder how much the price has increased in the last year due to the material cost increases we have seen.
I can only imagine! We just got another one a 10x16 we will be working on so we will see our cost at the end!
Can these be insured like a house?
Yes they can. It's not the "same" way and you have to find the right company! You insure them as a shed but you calculate the belongings and we negotiated a plan.
@@mainmeadowsanctuary961 thanks. Are you located in Texas? If so may I ask what dealership you used?
We are in Oklahoma but I believe derkson shed company is in Texas as well!
@@mainmeadowsanctuary961 thanks!

Great job. Very smart you have started while your young. Your land is also very nice. What state are you in?
@anne lawler
I want to know which state too, so I can stay away from there. That was a massive snake! I don't want things like that around anywhere I call home.
Nice job. Where did you get the tub and what kind is it?
Way fair
Wouldn't recommend
@@mainmeadowsanctuary961 wayfare....ever look into them? Child trafficking...
@@olliedynoduck
Conspiracy theory
How do u wire water?
The up stairs would have been helpful for decision making.
Where did you get the tub? Who's the manufacturer please my wife would live it
Way fair.
Most states require a sewer and composting toilets are not allowed. Any thoughts on the matter?
Move to a county where there are no building codes.
We live in one such vounty in Missouri. We build what we want without permission or inspections.
Yeah u have top notch skills I want to learn from 🤣
The outside looks better than the inside sorry to say that
Love this custom design how much did it cost you folks
We have a video that breaks down our entire cost of off grid living. 😊
@@mainmeadowsanctuary961 price?
@@kennhurt5636 just over 30k couldn't imagine what it would cost now with the price of lumber.
I love your stair way. Did you build it? It turned out nice. I hope ours looks as good when it's finished.
We did.
What’s upstairs?
I believe your table is called a breakfast nook. We have the same exact one and that's what my girlfriend calls it.

I think a 9ft ceiling would be good. Then add a second floor on site. I really like Derksen, I wish they had a place close to me
Does this company do log homes in this size
They don't but they have so many designs and are very customizable!

nice job! you guys r way ahead of the game and your hard work is the biggest payoff! congrats....
Can get inexpensive picnic table at lowes
We actually built one for free with recycled fence panels and cinder blocks
The Lowe’s ones look pretty
@@juliecastagnaro2868 But they'll probably only last half as long...practical beats pretty every time.
What was the over all cost
ruclips.net/video/PzfB0b59crA/видео.html
I want a house like this.
Where is the back door?
You're sitting on it.
And I'm INSIDE it.......
What about the loft? You didnt show us the loft!
We will do an updated tour! 😇
What did this cost...all in??
We plan to do a video discussing cost and a breakdown. Everything we did including shed conversion, land, well drilled, solar system, tools and all furnishing was all achieved for under 75k
Wow beautiful home.Did you need a building permit ?
Do you have a link for the Ikea closet/wall?
We have a video on the costs of off grid living. The Ikea closet is completely customizable so I dont have a link. Check your local codes regarding buildings 😃
Worst part is no insulation in floor
How much
💙💙💙💙💙💙
Where do you sleep
Up in the lofted area. We are working on taking a new video once we finish a couple projects!
24x32=768...26 dollars per foot w/slab material
I'm sorry, I'm still stuck on the size of that snake skin! What the heck?!
To each his own, not mine.
So about 100k
Must have not needed inspection🧐
