Can You Live in an 800 sqft Shed to House Conversion? {TWO LOFTS} 

Let me know how you are doing maybe we can trade ideas.

Me posted I live in Lovington ,New Mexico.

You have heard this,in due time. I live in a shed also I have a rv with water and a small cooking station, a work in progress. It is hard but, you will get there.

Good appreciation for me. Reconnecting with nature and Having a roof is awesome.

I'm 72 and building a floor from free pallets will be doing the walls also from free pallets standing up tall to get the 8 foot height I need and am using bags for insulation (Walmart) makes a nice room for storage or a small bedroom. Good luck.

Awesome! We have shirts for sale now here: ru-vid.comstore

Thank you Kim!!!!

​@@BetterTogetherLifeI've got to second that! I've been paying off a tiny lot to build on and feeling paralyzed by so many options, fear of what I don't know, and unlike you two, trying to get it done all alone.

I love the kindness and encouragement! Thank you!

You got that right! Nowadays it's something you don't see so I pray you know that you are blessed

Wow, thank you SOOOO MUCH!!!!

I'm so proud of u & people like you I've been trying to get enough together to hire a plumber & electrician to move into a tiny house but my SS ck can't cover it I've tried to save for 1 year. I don't know anyone to help me with this I live on a small community but no one wants to help. do u have any ideas ? (I'm 81)

This is no tiny house.

Hello Cynthia how are you doing today?

Hi Valerie. May I ask you something…. We are working up our course “Get Off Your Tail & Homestead” and I would LOVE your thoughts…. When you say you’d love to move onto land…..what are the top 2-3 things that hold you back?

I was wondering about the dead things. Lol

Thank you soooo much!! What a kind thing to say. 😁😁😁

Hahaha, LOVE THIS!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Y'all have done a fantastic job!! May you always be safe and blessed!!!

Size? In one of my grandfather's diaries he wrote of living in a 14x 14 "soddy" on the Dakota prairie. That was 2 adults, 2 children, to start. Later a 3 rd child added.

Yea you can get em off video games and have them do something productive outside.

Absolutely Shirley!!!!! Love it!

Absolutely Kimberly, we agree 💯!

Thank you so much Diana!!!

You don't know that. This is just a video on YouToob. You don't know how "functional" they are.

@@foobarmaximus3506 Greetings, Based on the video - they are functional. No other data available to me.

Thank you Charlotte?

Dont love huge homes but we need some space for privacy.

Agree. Where can I buy a shirt like it?

A major role of government is to "spend for the public purpose", but for decades CORRUPT government has issued money to enrich the few. Also, most people have zero clue that "privatization" is actually their major scam, designed so they can EMBEZZLE endless government money!! We need to expose their lies and corruption in order to end their reign. Almost everything they tell us is lies to cloak their embezzling. You know how what they say and do usually doesn't make sense to us "regular people"? That is because they are always telling lies and doing crazy things to do more corruption! If you want to know some specifics, here they are, so we can know what is actually behind their curtain of lies. I know some of this will seem crazy at first, but give it a read and see how it actually puts the pieces together better than what the corrupt money ADDICTS tell us. Here is what the US criminals do all over the world, since WW2: 1. Take over a country by coup, assassination, lies about government being corrupt or by threat or invasion so they can... 2. Implement their EMBEZZLING scam of "privatization", taking over government services & systems and national assets so the corrupt liars can handle fiat government money & BILL THE GOVERNMENT ANY AMOUNT for running such things; they provide themselves with massive exec salaries and insanely high profits, becoming oligarchs and billionaires. 3. Lie to the public ENDLESSLY to keep us duped. 4. Praise leaders who submit to US corruption & demonize leaders who RESIST or reverse it - like Putin, who reversed the US plundering done under US puppet Yeltsin, like Chavez and Maduro in Venezuela, like Gaddafi wanting things nationalized and government money going to THE PEOPLE, like Morales in Bolivia, like Assad who said NO to a US pipeline through Syria, and so on. We need a successful INTERVENTION on the lunatic money ADDICTS in power who lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, war crimes and more.

Instead of growing food for a needy family, why don’t you show them how to grow it themselves. “The moment we outsource our responsibility…….”. Let it be their responsibility to grow their own food. Give a man a fish and he eats for one meal, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

Hello Leslie How are you doing?

Kimberly this is AMAZING!! Yes!! That is what I want, my kids to be best friends growing up super close with each other. Love this!!

Hello Laurie How are you doing today?

Hello Dear How are you doing today?

THANK YOU sooooo much!!!! Wow you’re amazing!’

For real, we love it!

Yes, but that is not a normal sink! It's so cool. I've never seen a bathroom sink that shape or size! I want one! Lol

Thank you so much Karyn!!

Oh thank you so much Joyce! I really appreciate your kind words. You totally can do this!!! Small house, big land life!!

Do you live alone?

YUP! That is always an option to close in the porch. Thank you you so much for your kind words!

Yeah, that's awesome I lived in multiple cottages that were smaller then that. They were actual houses though not herpy derpy sheds.

They are absolutely awesome! They are teaching their children real life skills, which in these days and times when things are so unsettled, we all need to know about farming, growing our own vegetables, and being able to live on our own. The bad thing is when you get older you need all of your medications, but if we had all live a lot cleaner like these people do and like people back in the day did we would probably have been healthier longer.

Thank you Margaret!! Totally agree with you about the rat race, we had to GET OUT!

Diane….. ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! You hit the nail on the head!

Oh that’s awesome! Buy the updated shirt here: www.spreadshirt.com/shop/user/better+together+homestead/ I recommend this company for a Shed to House: shedview.goupb.com/?dealer=1504 Let me know if there is anything else we can help with!

Thank you so much! And yes, boars folks are the best!

I think tiny can be relative to your lifestyle. Micro would be an extreme term for our home. But 7 people in 800 square feet is small to us.🤷‍♀️

Leslie that is so awesome!!! Barndos are GREAT!!!!!! Yea, unfortunately some states are weird about Shed to Houses. But huge congrats!!!

Maybe it depends on the county. We're in a sparsely populated, rural county inTennessee, and there are lots of people with shed to homes here.

Yeah you can show him how having children in a confined space ruins relationships lmai

Yea man, this is not at all a helpful comment. I don’t think you should be a part of our Better Together community. Please feel free to unsubscribe.

Ashley, you are 100% correct!!!!! So glad it gave you some ideas. 😁😁😁

I’m gonna comment again just to clarify and dissolve conflict, if you don’t have kids this is great. If you do, there isn’t longevity at all. Like my mind went to, what are you gonna do with the three musketeers when you can’t find someone to watch them and it’s the anniversary? What are you gonna do if somehow there is a financial burden and you are stuck there for a long time, while those kids all sharing a room grow..and mature…so how’s that gonna work? I’m sure there are logical and good answers to these questions for people looking into this, but I’m still gonna make my sarcastic remark, because it is kinda funny thinking what your gonna do in the valentines situation lol. Anyway, no harshness meant at all, carry on.

And one more thing, you can give your opinions about where people should be on the internet, but RU-vid algorithm brought me here, me being here I assume gives you money, if you monetize. So future advice, don’t say that, on your own platform. Because that’s basically burning a dollar. And you wouldn’t burn dollars.

Oh thank you so much Denise!!

I loved how their kids are not in front of the screen all of the time and get a lot of outdoors exercise. Then watching on their screen together was wonderful! People who used to be close friends of ours and had four kids never, and I mean never, ever watched TV as a family. All the kids had TVs in their room, used as their babysitter, and they never monitor what they watched. I remember the oldest girl spent the weekend with us once and there was nothing on tv, we had cabled in, and I was watching The Walton's on a network that shows older TV shows, and she was so impressed and said what a great show was. And I asked her if she had never seen it before, and she said no, and I asked her if they ever watched Family TV together, and sadly, she said no.

Of everything that you mentioned, I know this might sound weird, but can we get that sour dough pizza recipe? I would love to try that with my teens!

WOW I HAVE A 10/20 ..Im hoping I can at least try the same with such smaller space..

Oh wow, no we haven’t seen them! We NEED TO!!!!

10 kids. Wow. That's alot of hard work 😁😁

Well yes, I will say that once we got our studio we were able to REALLY crank up our preps. And when we only had the main house it was certainly a skill of creativity on where to hide our food storage. 🫣 Haha! BUT!!!! When it comes to homesteading…. We prefer to store a portion of our food OUTSIDE in the garden and animals.

What’s an insulated conex ❓

@@goofyroofy Lordy I feel like a moron. 🥴

Jeremy, did we say we live in a tiny house? Maybe we did. But my main question is….. how many square feet per person do you consider a “tiny house”?

Hello Melissa How are you doing today?

Absolutely Dennis! We agree with you 💯!!
