Complete Construction of a Tiny House in my Backyard (Start to Finish) 

I built a 640 sq ft tiny house in my backyard over the course of two years. I published 30 videos of the construction, totaling alomst 7 hours of video. I edited down those 30 videos into this start to finish "super cut", running about 2 hours and 45 min long. Hope you enjoy!

I did not know i wanted to watch someone build a house from start to finish, but now here we are

Absolutely love that you sound proofed the interior walls. Wish builders did this more frequently. Love the video, and love to see the Perkins Brothers help out

Oh man… I just finished the 2 hour video of all the new dream workshop video…. And now I see this almost 3 hour long video… I dig it. Subscribed for that long ass video content, I enjoy it

I wish I spent my Life learning skills like this. This must be so satisfying seeing it come together

I’m fine with it being late but it was crazy to see Jamie with all 10 digits

The perfect supercut to watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon

I rarely watch a whole house build, but you are a perfectionist. I appreciate your efforts.

If you want to make your kitchen cabinet installation a whole lot easier, just replace the drywall section where the cabinets are going with the same thickness of plywood. this way you can run the screws anywhere you need to. I even go so far as to mark locations of wires and pipes right on the plywood as you will never see anything after the cabinets go up. You will want to make sure the kitchen floor is level. If it has any rise or drop you will want to find the highest point and find the level from there. I either shim if the base gap is close or scribe cut the toe kicks to match the drop. Another fix that will save your butt down the road is to caulk the interior base joint of the sink base cabinet and drop in a sheet of linoleum that you spray glue into place. This way if anything is spilled or drip the wood will be totally protected. It will protect against stains from the chemicals stored there as well.

Thanks for posting a ‘start to finish’ project video, I was not able to keep up on this project - I got to see it all here 😊

I heard about this project from the Perkins Builder Brothers channel, and watched the entire video. That is a really awesome guest house!!!

Pro Tip-Hairdresser acetone (Nail polish remover) Q-tip Tape measure Removes Sharpie marks from just about anything plastic. DO NOT USE ON WALLS. You can also try lemon juice. No more ruined tape measures😊

You built an in-law suite with more comforts than home! I'm jealous.

Great video! Let the haters hate.

Huge tip, when you run a pull lline make sure you connect a new one at the other end when you pull the cables through. This way if you ever have to run another cable you already have a pull line ran for future access/use.

Been waiting weeks for your videos, this was worth it. Haven’t event watched it all and I know. Love these long videos

love to see the Perkins Brothers help you out. I watch them all the time. Love the video

All these terrible comments and im excited to see the entire series i missed sections of condensed to a wonderfully edited masterpiece 🙏

All the haters...sheeeesh. I personally LOVE the super cut videos like you did with the shop build. I watch all of the individuals for that AND the super cut, because I enjoy your content!

Oh, this is a sweet recycle. Thanks. 2:46:18 of your impeccable content. I consider you, Seth, and Perkins to be a triumvirate of you tube production. The style is quite effective.

What a crew. Alex, you legend! It's really good to see professional builds on YT, there is so much bad info on here. Quality stuff.

I like how you can now easily tell the rough date of videos on YT based on mask-usage

It mental watching this as a Brit how incredibly simple American house building is. No brick work and almost like a kit build 😂😂 good video tho really entertaining

ΑΗhhh!!!The Covid years....What a time to be alive...Nice video btw

Hell of a supercut, well done

What a pleasure it is to watch experts at work! Great video!

One way to remove 'permanent' marker (from the tape for instance) is to take the marker and write over the same marks before and then use a rag to wipe off the marks.

Hey, I arrived on a November 9th! Congrats on the kid!

There may be an issue with the vent ridge. As it is a shallow pitch roof. When there is a wind driven rain. It may be blown through the venting into the home. As I have repaired 100's of homes with similar products. It may look nicer than box vents. So it may be wise to keep an eye on it.

This is the most well built, stick frame, small home I’ve seen. From beginning to end, everything was done right and there were no shortcuts. I’m curious how much all the materials cost during construction. Its obvious experience is necessary during certain components of construction. I watched the entire video out of shear curiosity for what it actually takes to build a decent home.

Impeccable work with precision. I really liked it..., it was very inspiring. I will take this model into consideration.., for my tiny house. Awsome built.., congratulations.

Your long videos are the best!! Keep up the great work 👍🏻

cool project, love the modern look inside

un abbraccio dalla Sardegna complimenti per il lavoro con maestria e professionalita' veramente un capolavoro

Damn, I was going to watch like 10 minutes but ended up watching the whole damn thing!

When using the sausage inserts, all you need to do is punch several holes, maybe 5-10, into the end of the tube and it’ll come out fine. No need to cut the tip off.

I used to have a bleed off valve on the cap, when the ball got to the end of the hose, I could drop the ball out soft and gentle. Instead of blowing concrete everywhere.

Great video enjoyed that apart from the wood floor that was painful to watch

Yoooooooooo Johnny!!! This came out so freakin Dope Bud!!1 At work & just watched every min. of this video!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

Back in the 80’s my parents brought a home with one side had houses in a circle neighborhood. One house didn’t like our headlights going into his back windows. He decided not to get a property survey but find the property markers by himself. He couldn’t find them and used a utility pole thinking it was the all properties. This neighbor used a metal detector to find two out of three property pins on the highway to the other road next to his neighbor. He started to build his fence half way in our gravel driveway. Mom stopped him dad said should had finished the fence cost him more money. What happen build the fence without hiring a property survey. Build the fence over to his neighbor backyard plus planted two small pine trees. Making the neighbors property much bigger.

Loved the part about how not to set tile lol good stuff though man

🎉wonderful good job experience everyone ❤❤ loved the vents the windows and big sliding doors enjoyed this video working together heck yeah gbu all 🎉 love peace ✌

All very well done with good detail. That must be the US version of a "tiny house" ? 😅 Because that is NOT a tiny house.

Do you have termites in your area, and if so, what precautions did you made to stop them eating your new house.

Lovely job as per usual gents 👌🏽

Well this is a rather enjoyable watch

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!!

So beautiful

Very good video for a lazy Sunday. The random beeps throughout the video made me think my smoke detectors needed new batteries :-)

Here I was, running vids in the background while I work, and then I hear this video going. Tab over thinking I recognize this voice, I don't recognize the channel, but I swear these guys sound like the Perkins Brothers... Well got another channel to sub and watch now.

Heck yeah

thumbnail had me in the belive of an xxxxl minecraft world edit

Enjoyed the video! Thank you! May we assume your favorite word is “SUPER”?

It's fascinating to me as an european, how different construction works at the other side of the lake.

Is that FENIX on the cabinets? They look awesome!

If you hammer-drilled into the concrete piers before they reached their full four week curing time, you pobably compromised and weakened the concrete's design strength. This is why most builders set threaded "L" shaped anchor bolts into the concrete immediately after it's poured, just before it sets. Sometimes the "L" shaped anchor bolts are even welded or tie-wired to the internal rebar. That way, the concrete design strength isn't compromised/weakened, and they can continue building after the concrete has cured for one week. The full building load should not be applied to the concrete until it has cured for four weeks, or until it has reached its minimum design strength (most common design strength for concrete for residential is 3,000 PSI) (concrete used for roadwork is a soecial faster curing concrete with a high design strength to handle eoad loads while it is still curing). To measure cured strength, 6" Dia by 12" long test cylinders can be cast. "test cylinders" can be cast for testing. Typically, four test cylinders are cast, tested at 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and four weeks. All four cylinders cure for the first week in a protected area undisturbed on-site. Then at 1 week, they are removed from their molds, 1 cylinder is capped perfectly flat on both ends with a compound and tested in a machine applying pressure end to end until the concrete fails. The remaining test cylinders are stored in a temperature controlled envuronment at 100% humidity (concrete cures through a process called Hydration. Once concrete begins to set, it cures to strength best when kept at 100% humidty. If it dries out before its four week curing time, it will never cure to full strength). Often, properly mixed, transported, handled, finished concrete cures at its design strength earlier than 4 weeks, sometimes the cylinder tested at 3 weeks shows it cured to design strength. Conditions like freezing temperatures, to much water, or rapid dehydration during curing on the pour site can permanently compromise curing to design strength. Sometimes it's just delayed longer than 4 weeks. Sometimes the mix is bad and the first 3 week tested cylinders show slow curing. Delaying testing of the 4th cylinder can confirm design strength li ater, perhaps at 5 to 7 weeks. I've seen full sections of 8 to 11 cubic yards of concrete ripped out of a build because the test cylinders from a particular mix truck never cured to design strength. Typically, test cylinders are only used for commercial buildings, not residential. However, more qnd more professional builders and architects are demanding it on their residential projects. When not using test cylinders, at best, it's a guessing game, and for best results and odds of noncompromised concrete, it's best to adhere to one week undisturbed cure time before any load on curing concrete during construction, and a full 4 week curing time before design loads, keeping the concrete hydrated at high humidity without having it under standing water. It's amazing that only recently scientists and engineers are discovering why ancient Roman concrete is so much more resilient than modern concrete. The secret is, they used sea water, ash, and Quick Lime, "hot mixing" to create a Reactive Calcium component to the mix. Deposits of Calcium Carbonate remain in the "cured" concrete, so any time the concrete absorbs humidity, it activates the Reactive Calcium and it continues to "cure". It self-repairs any gradual damage, weakness and cracks it incurs. Essentially, it really never stops "curing", curing is only temporarily suspended periodically.

Amazing - how much did it cost to build?

looking good!

Looking good man. Sorry we didn't get a chance to chat at WBC

I love your choice of Hart tools, over the past year or two I have made that my brand they are priced Right and they really do the job, in my mind one brand One battery, not like it used to be with this that and the other brand and all kinds of different chargers and all kinds of different batteries so very cool love that chainsaw

Now build a giant home. Not a mansion, a tiny home for giants

In Europe we don’t do that kind of roofing ventilation. Waste of space and by ventilating the interior you could just insulate the roof. And no floor insulation? But very satisfying to watch! Thx

Awesome......btw what was the cost for the complete construction?

You tested for leaks on an uncompressed system...? What was going to leak? Once you gassed it yeah but before has got me baffled.

The glass doors look awesome, but aren't they backwards as the slider Glass is suppose to be inside to keep burgulars from lifting them out

Isopropyl alcohol or a dry erase marker will erase the permanent marker on the tape

how can you check for leaks before pressurizing the line? @1:20:00 What would be leaking if it isn't pressurized?

Fantastic

WOW!

2024! Congratulations! The first wall-mounted toilet in the USA! And the drain flows into the forest without any problems...

Great video. 🙌 Curious though how you leak tested your linesets before actually charging them? 🤔

Setting blocks without cement they are not afraid that that's going to shift?

I worked for a trex decking company and we never allowed room for expansion. I’m curious what those decks look like now 😂

For anybody who is asking, this was recorded during the pandemic.😊

Dude what headphones are you using?!

Very interesting viewing. You are calling it tiny but it is a good size. The round holes that are put up under the roof for ventilation, do they have a screen or something to prevent animals eg bats or possums for making a home in your roof space

Good

Is the video - "Construction of a Tiny House in My Backyard [Start To Finish]" - the same thing ?

went from milwaukee to dewalt to craftman throgh the video ;)

Holding the sausage gun vertically, use a wire cutter to clip the nub off..

I agree

amazing

in Indiana fire foam is NEVER allowed, my building inspector saw I had used it and tore of a chunck of it took my outside and lite it with his lighter, it burst into flames, it was like adding an accerant to those holes. so i scraped all of the foam out and bought fire caulk

2:03:25 Nicely water proofed 😅

How were the wood from lowes? Many knots, and bowed? I'm doing take off material list for my 24x28 addition and currently have an estimated wood estimate of $5k from Home depot. I'm guessing lowes may be similar.

This video is posted full time

Why didn't you vacuum the air conditioning lines?

Little to no insulation in those exterior walls. I feel sorry for whoever stays inside this house in summer. Rest in peace.

Good job although don’t you think rafter size was a bit overkill

You can try using alcohol to remove the marker from the tape

Is there a reason why you the the subfloor a half inch from the face of the joists?

Did I simply miss the fact that you insulated the floor or did you not do that? I also don't understand why people still build like that today, solid concrete foundations and build the house on top of that, the pioneering times are over

When can we get a super cut of it of all the videos in one no edits (I need some background audio)

You did not build it yourself, you had lots of help.

Is the drainage from the tiny to the mains just gravity flow? Or is there a sump? If so what kind? Great video thanks! 2:05:51

What brand gutter guards please?

That truck driver hates you but you probably know this

🔥🔥

What the permit cost
