**How Much Did Our Shed to House Cost?** www.bettertogetherhomestead.com/report **Build Your Own Shed Design for FREE:** shedview.goupb.com/?dealer=1504
It's neat to see those two story shed to house conversion buildings but not one single one has been converted on RU-vid you cannot find a tour of a completed one
Because most local governments don't allow them to be lived in as dwelling. They rather you live in a more to build expensive house that is basically the same thing as this. Government and local building codes suck! I live in a rural area of my County and I have 3 acres of property and still can't live in something like this without being fined.
You'll never need to worry about cutting the wrong size, spin in circles or waste time trying to figure out what goes where... With ryan's detailed shed plans ru-vid.comUgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg_KH , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).
Great video and very good price on that shed. I have a TuffShed just a few miles down the road from my house. I used them to build a 10X24 in my backyard. It was about $3,500 installed. For an additional $1,500ish I installed flooring, insulation, electricity, lighting, heat & AC, and installed a dividing wall so the shed breaks down into two rooms of 10X12. In short, for about $5K total, I added two very nice rooms to my house. Totally worth it.
I lived in one like that 20 years ago in Texas when i was working in a refinery shutdown for 2 months. It was at a small motel and had 2 of those. 2 beds up top 1 down bottom with bath and kitchen. I loved it. It rented for 350 a week split 4 ways.
I like the 2 story shed also. Tried getting it on my property. In my city it was strict on foundation requirements. The city insisted on 30ft pilings under the shed. Which drove the price out of my budget. I ended up doing an addition to my existing home. It turned out for the best😀.
Well awesome!!! Glad it worked out for you in the end! Thank you for the comment and for watching. Please be sure to subscribe and you can follow our adventure of building on our 7 acres in Texas!! 😁😁😁
Why pilings? Sounds like they were simply trying to discourage you from setting one up on your property. A foundation should have been ok, and probably still will be ok.
i CANT BELIEVE 30 FOOT!!! ... REALLY THERE SURLY TRYING TO STOP THE HOME GUY FROM BUILDING ... A SLAB WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAT ADEQUATE... SORRY THEY DIDN'T LET YOU BUILD ...B
I’ve worked in construction for a long time and with my knowledge and skill set I would say that the shed looks well built. You are right that is called a top plate and the joists that sit on the top plate for the lift is a good idea. They are stronger that way, you kinda get two for one. Floor system for the loft and joist to hang ceiling on first floor.
Interesting. I'm sure there will be the "I can build that for cheaper" comments but a lot of people don't have the knowledge and experience to build it for themselves so it's nice there are options like this available.
While I agree with you and your comment (even gave you a thumbs up) a lot of people NOW don't have the ambition to LEARN anything either!! Back years ago (in my life time) 50 years ago people had more of a "can do attitude" and they were TAUGHT (usually by their family) to be self sufficient and self reliant!! NOW people claim to "not have the time" while they smoke their weed and play Call of Duty, which seems to be FAR MORE IMPORTANT, then getting off the damn couch and DOING SOMETHING!! See back when I was a kid I was taught (by my parents) how to work hard and actually take responsibility for things!! And they sent me to school and dictated my school schedule to where I was taking wood shop, metal shop, drafting class, small engine repair, auto mechanics AND electronics, and then in the summer months while school was "out for the summer" had me working for them in a small landscaping company that they ran as a "side business" to their full time jobs, and I also took work myself at an auto body repair shop and doing general contract work and construction for a guy who a friend of mine knew that would pay us kids to do "odd tasks" in his business, so I learned how to hang sheet rock, rough in electrical AND plumbing, and a number of other lessons in construction and building!! And my reward for ALL THIS WORK?! I was able to buy gasoline for my motorcycle (dirt bike) and play video games in the arcades!! But at one point I was earning about $500 a week back in the 1970s, and being a stupid kid then I pissed away every cent of it!! BUT I still know how to do a LOT MORE than a two thirds of the people I know and sadly NOBODY ever gives me credit for and damn thing!!
@@gregbenwell6173 I agree that many people don't have a good work ethic anymore. Schools don't teach a lot of those hands classes now. We homeschool our children so we can teach them more of those things but truthfully we as adults are learning them ourselves.
I'm one of the people who can do it them selves. I just don't know how permitting in fl would go down. I can take every other week of in winter this would be sweet if I had the cash
@Taylor I know quite a few people who have built their own house. The last house we lived in the previous owner had built it, doing most of the work himself and he was just down the road building his next house! He wasn't a contractor or a carpenter either. It just depends on what is important to you really. We make time for the things that matter to us.
I've seen this one and wandered around in it, turning it into a house, too. Build it on a slab, but add a tiny extra slab with rough plumbing to the back, and build a lean-to bathroom, preferably with a second door opening directly outside. That gives you a bath you can access from the garden; it becomes a mudroom as well as a bath. A walk in shower would be great for it, and the laundry could be right next to it. While you're at it, extend that lean-to and build your kitchen sink and counters along that wall. A nice window overlooking the land.
I'm assuming the basement you're talking about is a walkout basement. If so, then this could easily be a 4 bedroom house. One bedroom and bathroom on the bottom floor, one bedroom and bathroom on the main floor, two bedrooms and one bathroom on the top floor. You could also raise the pitch of the roof to accommodate a fourth floor.
One store name: Re-Store! Get a base model like this, go there, buy repurposed building materials, and go to town on a budget! 16 X 24 X 21 ft should be plenty room for most 1 - 2 kid families or single/coupled up people.
The tuff shed is nice but they are definitely over priced and the exterior is really poor quality. We got ours from Crowe Barn Builders in Texas and we are very happy with the quality! They used heavy duty plywood on the floors and not that glued together wood chips. The floor is extremely solid and they work with you directly to customize. Our shed was about $1800 cheeper than home Depot and we was able to do the rent to own without putting any money down.
They do have Tuff Shed dealers in Texas. The customer service was awesome. I purchased a Tuff Shed Tall and they built it on my property in city limits. I did have to get a permit and it was not hard because these sheds are built with standards just like a house. I had mine completely finished on the inside. It brought great value to my home and I used it to run my business out of. I recently sold the property and the added converted Shed to office space was a huge sales point!!! I hope to purchase another one soon but on land in the countryside !!!!😀
You’re the first person in 120,000+ views to say this. When did I ever say that it was going to be a before and after??? Perhaps you mislead yourself. Sorry.
@@BetterTogetherLife the title says CONVERSION.... No conversion here. Title says you can live in, can't live in it as shown. We could be go to home Depot and see this for ourselves.
@@BetterTogetherLife way to sound like an ass. Your title has conversion in the title, I was under the same assumption when it popped into my recommended.
For a couple that would be a cool master bedroom upstairs put a mini split heat pump up there and one down stairs and they could easily handle all the cooling/heating with just two heads or even the recessed one upstairs in the ceiling
This would make an excellent pool house or mancave. I would extend the porch out about four feet and maybe put a couple dressing rooms on each side of the door, put a half bath under the stairs next to a kitchenette, put a pool table in the bottom level, and finish the top level off with a library and game room.
It would be cool to hook 2 of them together and make a livable house with them. Insulation and sheetrock and plumbing and ac and electrical. Those are really cool!
It can be built to specs for less than 13k. Ive shopped around. And if you do it yourself, you save paying for the labor. Best thing to do is build it on a concrete slab
I'm not a framer or builder but a DIY like most people. I would guess around 6-8 thousand for materials, and double that for labor. So you are paying roughly 10K over what you could do it if you hired a couple builders to do it yourself.
Just in case anyone is wondering I’m in the process of building mine. I paid a little of $22,000 cash for the building and now it’s costing me around another 15k to do everything including the foundation, plumbing, and power. That’s not including labor since I’m doing all the work myself but with everything it’s still cheaper than a house
Construction and Residential building is something I have been into and doing all my life. We are getting ready to put up a highly custom shed for my personal home. Moving back to the area I grew up and so excited. I picked this one. What we are looking to do an 18'x36' for the main house and then attach an 18'x20' single story for an Owners Suite. With porches on all sides. We are going to opt for 9' ceilings on the main floor and 9' sidewalls upstairs, then add a 12/12 roof pitch, 2"x6" exterior walls. I then will add custom windows and doors, etc, etc. Can do all that for under $80,000 maybe less. If you have ever seen the movie 'Housesitter' with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn, I am planning on building it kinda like that. With the long corridor of doors attaching the Main Suite. That has been my Dream House every since I was a kid. Now I am 42 and ready for my Forever Home. The opening in the roof at the peak upstairs is called a 'Ridge Vent', totally normal and works great for ventilation behind the insulation. As for the build of these, the build is great and I like the Scissor Rafters upstairs, it gives it that Vaulted concept which opens the space up. I really like the look of the metal roof on this one, very nice. Thanks for sharing this. Cannot wait to get started on this project.
I chuckled at a vacation property I saw for sale. To get around the permits costs (based on square footage), they separated the bedrooms, kitchen/dining/bathroom/utility, and living room into separate buildings barely separated.
@@1SCme right lol! The permit guy told us we couldn’t put a shed where we wanted because according to his map our house which was built in 1860 was barely on the land mapped for it and a driveway wasn’t owned by us. Lol but we could put the shed anywhere without a permit and he would care what we did if it was 10x10 or smaller . 😂all kind of a mess when you own .4 acres but some how you don’t own your lawn or driveway so they say.
@@nfldshorty21 This has been a selling point for tiny homes. I think the threshold in most areas is in the 200 to 300 sq ft range. On this property, the 3 buildings were only separated by 2 or 3 feet, so going from 1 section to the next wasn't an issue.
I have plans to purchase two of them and knock out both back walls and convert it into one big beautiful cheap home. Gonna be awesome. Already have the land picked out
Sure I could live here and save major coins in the process. I'd turn this into a beautiful living space with the help of my father, who owns a commercial and residential renovation company.
I would say about 10,000 -15,000 more for plumbing and electricity, kitchen, bathroom, and insulation Sheet rock and trim and paint, and fixtures, and a min-split unit for AC. You will need a 125 amp outdoor panel and a buch of other stuff
I really love this! Like someone else stated.....I would want to know the cost of it being finished. Wiring, plumbing, insulation, heat & air etc.....Finished. 😊💜👍🏼
Well we didn’t finish out THIS building style, but we did do an 800sqft Shed to House. You can get our full expense reports by going to: Bettertogetherlife.com/report Thanks!!
FYI - It's March, 2021 and if you don't have one on order already, you're out of luck. They have stopped making them ... Some Tuff Shed TR1600 info - The ground floor wall height is 8', the upstairs wall height is 6'11''. The stairs are standard at 36" wide, and the windows can be upgraded. The radiant barrier backed roof decking is a waste of money because there needs to be an air gap. However, the ridge vent and metal roof upgrades are both worth having. Another thing to consider is that a concrete slab is recommended for two story buildings like this and they aren't cheap. However, none of that may matter anymore because you may not be able to order one. We're not too far from DFW, TX, and we just had a TR1600 erected a few weeks ago. We were told by two different Tuff Shed guys that they only had a few more of these two story buildings to put up because Tuff Shed has stopped selling them. (I assume that it means no more of the TB1600 as well.) I don't know if it applies across the whole country, so it's possible some areas might still be selling them. We were told two different reasons. One guy said it was that the price of materials which have shot up in the last year so they were losing money on these buildings now, and the other guy said they were running into legal problems due to people converting their two story buildings like this into homes. I have no idea which reason is true - they both might be. I also don't know what the legal issues might be either, but it might be to do with residential housing codes. The bright side - Assuming they really have stopped selling two story buildings now ... The display models at Home Depot locations will probably be sold off soon and you might get a great deal.
I build these structures for a living as a contractor for Tuff Shed on-site at customers homes. Sheds are done in 3-4 hours, Barns are done in 5-6 hours, Garages are done in a day and require a city inspection after. As does a two story structure, which is completed over 2-3 days if the contractor knows what he’s doing. If you’re caught living in this without a permit your in for a BAD time with city inspection. (San Diego through L.A.)
The cost of various types of lumber have gone through the roof the past 15 years, ever since hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Even still, I imagine the cost of a structure of this type might be as follows, depending on the jurisdiction you live in: Electrical - $2 to 3 K ; plumbing with fixtures, roughly $3,500; Drywall and finish work, approximately $3,500 ; flooring, approximately $2 K for some fairly nice material. Material & labor: $12-15 K. This does not include site work water/power hookups (if municipal) or installing an appropriate sized septic system and leach fields. You may be talking another $15K. Permits and inspection fees; again, depending on the jurisdiction you live in, roughly $5K. That's where I live in the Pacific Northwest region. Considering the real costs of an endeavor of this type potentially costing upwards of $50-60 K, that's really not too bad. Affordable housing is in a huge crunch, and this is an excellent alternative.
You’re right - rafters and trusses should rest on top plate with hurricane ties. Radiant barriers are crap - you’ll need real insulation. Spongy flooring upstairs? That’s a red flag, and the 2x4 framing limits the sidewall insulation. But remember this is a shed which was converted from storage to a house. You’ll be surprised how quickly the price goes up with a slab, plumbing, septic, electrical, HVAC, sheet rock and texture, flooring and the cost of getting this delivered. Just sayin there’s a lot more to that 25k price!
Once my son's are grown and out of the house I will be buying and living in one of these. I would probably add one more room on the lower level though.
You can print something like that with light steel frame machine for 10-15grand and it wont deteriorate like wood over time and much easier to install. Another con is you can make your own design.
Buy a manufactured home. You can get a 1200 square foot single wide home for around 43,000, including appliances. You can do piers on footings for $5000. 2X6 outer walls and 2X8 floor and ceiling joists. They are not junk like they used to be. Longevity is about putting it on a solid foundation. Two bathrooms. Three bedrooms. Yes they go for more money if you load them up with options, but you can always upgrade later. You can get smaller ones for cheaper then that. By far the cheapest way to go per square foot. You can get a smaller two bedroom for $35,000. If you are going to do all the finish work in this shed, then you have the skill to built your own cabin/house with raw materials. All these keyboard carpenters don’t have any idea of the amount of work and cost of materials that go into a project like this. Price out a typical remodel for a bathroom. If you can afford it or you can built the whole project yourself, go stick built. If you are looking for a cheaper option for a decent place to live at a much lower cost, manufactured is the way to go.
@@mjp5429 Prices are cheaper depending on the area you are in, Options is what makes the cost go up, Many of the options are over priced, and much of these can be done after the fact... I do wish they would sell more blank units, Units with a lot less in them, simple is my goal...
@@kameljoe21 I think there is alot of over complicated and over priced tiny houses. In all practicality. If you got to have all the options and spend $50k+. Just stick build a "normal" house about 2000sqft or bigger.
Im 26, really don't want to be renting into my 30s & I much prefer this path of just buying land & turning a "shed" into home. We're going to start seeing a lot more of these, & if you can invest, it's probably smart to invest in companies that make these "DIY ready" spaces. This one I wouldn't even call a shed; they know exactly why people would really be buying these. For a generation that has instant access to all the information they might need to know, these are very convenient. But of course, foundations need to be built by the professionals. After that, I have faith that with patience & determination to do it right (with longevity in mind), our generation can tackle the rest.
The TR1600 two story shed is no more... Our TR1600 went up in March this year (2021) in the DFW area and several of the Tuff Shed guys told us ours was one of the last ones they had left to build. They had heard two different reasons, 1 - huge materials price hikes in 2020 meant the TR1600 was losing money and 2 - Legal complications caused by people living in them (or wanting to live in them) in areas where building code restrictions prevented that. I guess you could try approaching the local Tuff Shed factory directly to see if you can still get one but don't hold your breath.
These are absolutely great! They're not available in Canada unfortunately. By the time you I dilate, put tile down and electric, your still paying far less than for a finished tiny house.
Buy 2 of these and bolt them together and your have a nice house, add $8000 for plumbing (toilet, shower), $3000 for electric, $5000 for newer and bigger windows.
This looks amazing my sister told me I need to get something like that built in back of her house that will be a good choice for me. The price does look right
I so wanna do this but looking at that price and what you get is not really worth it. Im gonna visit one of these and draw plans based off of it because I love it so much :) and build it myself :D im really excited
I’m so excited to say I’m starting my tiny home journey next year... I’m only 18 years old. But with that being said I could live there rent free but pay utilities plus my car insurance, and when I get tired of living in it I’m gonna turn it into a tiny air bnb !!!! Ppl say dumb investment but you could easily turn a $30,000-$60,000 tiny home into a $140,000 home and get more than what you paid.
Find an independent ruff shed buy here pay here dealer and heat a repo unit at half price or better. Income tax time everyone gets one and the lot is filled with repos buy july
@Maximillian Mercoleza no I don't work for them but I watch the dealer in carthage ms for the repossessions which are dam good bargains....they have a 14x 30 repo for 6750.00 financed or 6000 cash. These independent dealers all over the South have repos. I work for myself doing home repairs and I see the buy here pay here dealers advertising the repos plus some advertise on Facebook market place. Just trying to let people about the bargains. Only a fool would pay 12000.00 for something you can get a year later at half price.
Hugh G. Rekshin you’d find it difficult to get the material for much cheaper than the total build price buddy. I also doubt you can crank out a two story permanent structure up to city code
@@sentry9834 They will give u a 24 to 48 hour notice and they will use the same truck or trailer system to load it up. It is just like a car repo. The sheds are built for slide on or off trailer or truck design. Hook up the winch load it hit the road. Most dealers that operate pay here buy here load up the lots at tax time. Within a year the repos come in.
My brother had a 30×40 pole barn built. It is 1,200 square feet of living space. Building cost and finished interior was just under 20,000 dollars. The inside looks like a new home.
I had a two story 16 by 24 additon to my house for 22K.. included wiring, insulation . drywall .. open staircase with a closet underneath the steps.. two exit doors and french doors going through my cellar wall.. eight foot wide anderson windows on the side walls and 12 foot wide two food deep bay window .. upstairs.. down stairs were the two exit doors 6 anderson windows.. to leave plenty of sunlight into the house to help warm it in the winter... and it was all 2x6 studs in the walls 2x12 joists and walls floors and roof was plywood none of that particle board..
I wonder if Tuff Sheds would give me a discount if I let them do a video of a finished version of one I am about to build. I'm an interior designer on a budget. Would get them tons of business.
Very interesting. But do you know how to produce video? Do you already have a RU-vid channel? They’d probably want a body of work before hand to prove that you will get views. BUT YES!!!!!!! Do it!!!!!
In Canada you must have two exits. In case of fire. I would use the space over the stairs for closets. I also think hamoks in place of traditional beds would be an excellent space saver. Just need to install great big hooks. Fold and store when not in use.
This is a great little place for one person, maybe two, since it would just be me, the lower level would be a nice full sized kitchen with a bathroom under the stairs, the walls would have to come out further to make a shower and toilet fit and the upstairs would make a great living room, frame out space for a quality Murphy bed and bam! Instant house. I know a lot of people wouldn't be able to live like that but I look at it like this, once you start framing out a bedroom and a kitchen in such a tiny space like that, everything becomes super cramped, that's just my opinion and doing it the way I want would save tons of money too.
Really cool, and thanks for sharing this. I like this, and it gives a lot of ideas. I'm curious, what model Tuff Shed exactly is this ? I cannot find it on Home Depot's catalog. One thing that crosses my mind, is that looking at the framing itself, it's probably possible for someone to frame it out his or her self if the price of the finished shed is too steep. As with many things it's a balance of time and money, I suppose. But the framing looks pretty simple. It could probably be beefed up a bit too, for code compliance. As for the comments from haters, I'm really glad you posted this video - it gives ideas. Thank you.
If they did my plumbing and wiring, good to go, then put in sinks counters, bathroom. Would work great for a home. And put insulation in the walls, good paneling and tile floors, it would work awesomely. Find an outside area to build. Septic and water hookup in communities outside of cities.
Seems to be those are the realistic choices. I’m living in a 2300 sq ft home I bought last year and I’m fed up already... mortgage is what I work for and utilities suck any money I have remaining.... I have 40 acres of hilltop desert and I’m gonna go for it. Selling the house for an ok profit, paying off all debt and going to room with a buddy while I save and plan for my off grid life
It seems like a lot of costs would add up. Cost of the land. Instalation of the shed, you need water supply, plumbing, electrical, plus all the drywall, carpeting, are you doing sewer or septic. Insulation, heating system, things that are already finished in a house you can buy
We live way outside the city limirts of Pensacola, in a very rural area, but wouldn't you know........the county has all kinds of restrictions and codes. We were hoping to get a pre-fab lofted barn shed......14 x 40 feet...finished the inside....hook it up with electricity and water, and rent our house which is on the front acre of our property. I got my hopes up so high about this new abode, and the idea of the rent helping us to make a living, as we are nearing retirement age.....and have no retirement. I am bummed out to the max, and would appreciate any suggestions, that would allow us to achieve this idea. Wish that they would ease up, regarding ADU's (access dwelling unit).
I am very very sorry Stephanie. I wish there was something I could say. County Buildings codes are almost impossible to get around. The smaller the government....the more restrictive they become. Local governments can’t TAKE AWAY state or federal laws....so since they can’t take away laws they have to ADD laws otherwise what’s the point in them existing right? Have you joined our shed to house Facebook group? People the good people in there might have some ideas for you.
Im going to add...most of these has a "use code" on them and 99% that code is an S...for shed. Most county/city ordinances won't allow a shed to be residential/living space...UNLESS you hire a bunch of pple...spend alot of money redesigning it so that it meets your jurisdictions codes. PS...most shed sales folks don't know squat about local buildibg codes...so they won't tell you that and they are looking to simply make a sale.
Stephanie Robinson I'm sorry your having issues! I build tiny houses and the advice I have for you is to go to rural property where you can have a private septic system or better yet a simple outhouse. Check the restrictions on the property. Your best bet is to do what we do here in Ohio and that is we move to cheaper woodland with no restrictions what so ever. Basically no body gives a crap because you live in a place where there is no people! For your electricry you have to go private solar Because it's hard to get electricry hook up from the government if you don't live in a normal house. Secondly for the grey water (drained water from sinks and bathtubs) you can just run that off into your property and it's a legal and cheap way to handle your grey water. Atleast that's how it works here in Ohio. We are a rebublican state so we enjoy many freedoms and it makes tiny houses easier then it does in more liberal states with more restrictions and regulations and less freedom. Good luck to you and feel free to message me on RU-vid if you need more help or advice!
Added cost to change from chip board to real plywood. Moisture and wind blowing debris will destroy this shed in a very short time, because it is chip board. Never use chip board for flooring, either!!! Very very bad.
you'd be better off with 2x6 walls for a 2 story shed, better insulation, stronger structure. and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, buy a home store shed, they are cheap as hell, you can buy the lumber and build it yourself for about 1/3rd the cost....
I just paid mine off finally and I can say it's the worst decision I've ever made. They charge a shameful amount of interest on these things and I could have built it for a 5th of what I ended up paying. But you live and learn.
@@bigdirtygaming6429 I waited until I could pay cash, but you must know that I only have a 12 x 24. For me, it was necessary as originally I went and camped in a tent, only to realize how much dangerous wildlife there was. So right now, it is meant for camping until I can either buy a used mobile home to remodel or stick build.
Lows and Home Depot know people are buying them for a home that's why the price keeps going up on them. Not fair to the people who dont know how to build.
Then they need to learn. Anyone can do basic framing and there is more information available to everyone to learn the skills. Yet there is less and less people learning them than there were back when there was no internet full of the information. This is such a BS excuse.
Thank you. This is a very informative video. I was totally unaware of this product. I have a lot out in Comanche Count Texas are and will check out the building restrictions tomorrow.
@@retrox684 They think its more space... If I remeber right this is 16x24... 384 square or 768 total, so finished it will be about 700 square feet... Micro | 1 Bed · 1 Bath · 437 SqFt... This home is $19,900 plus shipping and setting... 13'8" x 32 feet... The cost of buying one of these is pretty darn good.... I have even thought about buying one of these, instead of building...
@@kevinmencer3782 Yes it is smaller, Yet when you factor in finish cost, tuff shed cost way more than a base model micro home, The price reflects the area you live in Yes there are some places where they cost 30k and some where they cost less than 20k. If one was to do some more searching you might even be able to find a larger trailer that cost a bit more. The cost of a 16x24 2 story shed cost about 12k with out a floor, With floor they add another 1k or so... This low price model does not include building it, If they are pre built then add in another 2500 or more then deliver charge. In the end a bare 16x24 cost you around 15k One also has to consider that the 2 story does not have a very large head room, 7 foot in the center and gets shorter the further you move towards the wall. Then add in the cost to insulate, plumb, electric, and appliances ( heat, cool and water heater ) Then you have to consider extra cost for windows and walk in doors. Then one should consider that the siding they use. As in a micro trailer ( which is built the exact same way with 2x4 or 2x6 and has a pitched roof and plus its move in ready... All of that stuff adds up to exceed the cost of what you would spend if you just bought a new trailer. Even if you went as far to say 50k on a 2 bed room 1 bath model or 75k on a 3 br 2 ba model. Then you have to consider shipping, septic and other utility
It’s nice but over priced, I don’t see hurricane clips on the trusses , you could probably build your self or get a set of drawings and some takes offs for material and labor quotes and beat it , there no closets or bath walls and it pretty basic and you’d have to build a foundation , block and footings! , that’s not cheap!
Well, going from an ity-bity 8x9 foot military barracks room, this place would be a mansion. I would definitely do it if I could find some land in Minnesota that was reasonably priced.
