My Shed Tiny Home From Start To Finish 

This is a beautiful home. I could live in it very happily indeed! Maybe with just one small add on room for spare bed/sewing machine etc/wardrobe. You are very talented and I look forward to watching more of your videos. 🤗

How much to run the sub panel and water supply? And what percentage of the bill do u pay?

What is the size of the big shed house?

It has already become in the supermarket… Often many times more than the cost per square foot of a regular house

This is way bigger then 12 × 28. 288 sq. Ft. No way.

home ownership seems less and less obtainable as time goes on.

That’s some of the BEST knowledge ppl need these days. Props to you for passing it on!

The best teachers are their parents that showed with love how to do things and create a home of their own sometime in the future. Good concept to provide to the public since younger generations are not being taught what is important in life and how to acquire the things they need. So thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Please start a RU-vid channel so we can learn along with you. So many young men don't have father's to teach them trades. My dad is 80 now, and he knows how to design, build, and finish homes from scratch. He also repaired cars, electrical devices, and masonry. He was a consummate businessman and serial entrepreneur by day in a suit, who liked to "tinker with toys". My grandfather taught him along with all of his brothers. Growing up, my family beamed with pride that my dad could build or fix anything!

@@feleciaward1563 I don't have time for a RU-vid channel. I am raising two children and supporting a family.

Yeah, I was about to comment to say the same thing! 800 square feet is a *small* home, but certainly not "tiny." And 16 x 50 is the footprint of the structure, so the 800 SF isn't even counting the loft space!

@@Bike_Lion In Powell, Wyoming, one of our cousins has a shed home similar to yours. We visited her this summer and were impressed with what a nice home her kids built for her. The area above the living and kitchen is lofted and they used metal siding for the ceiling. The area over the dining (front door) and the bedroom and bath are storage. It looks really nice.

My 1950s rancher is 950 ft2 and is 3 bedrooms. Every room is miniscule. Two of the bedrooms can only have a twin bed or bunk beds. The master can only have a queen size, but then room for one dresser. The bathroom has floor space for one human to stand. So, yeah. Historic houses are pretty small.

It's only 100 sq. ft. smaller than my first house and I was living there with two other people (girlfriend and a roommate). 800 sq ft for one person is definitely roomier than 900÷3.

I would love something like this where I live. But the issue is that I'm told I am required to have it on wheels. I really don't think that's financially feasible to do.

I love 🐈🐈🐈🐈's, too! 💕💞❤🤗

Yes! 👍🤣

This is communication with the outside world

By far the most magical way to live.

I don't think that's jaded honestly. Look at tiny home living, companies charging 80k-300k for tiny homes, smaller than ~800 sqft when you can get a full sized home for cheaper. Pretty impressed though with this guys home, definitely looks nice overall and something I could find myself living in honestly just a shame I don't have the time (or help) like he did to make it more affordable to get started/finish up.

Exactly they're currently trying to find ways to make housing like these more accessable... I grew up in a single wide 12x75ft trailer, honestly brand new "mobile homes" are ridiculously over priced for no real reason... mass production makes it all so much less expensive for the manufacturer...

@@stasylumbassist1 It is ridiculous. 140K for a mobile home. Just insane.

I disagree. The only thing you're really sourcing is a framed structure. There's still a lot of work to put in. Hardly qualifies as a pre fabricated home. You're bypassing a very small portion of the entire home building process (the framing).

It is not really affordable to most!

I was going to say something similar, it's not that tiny. It's bigger than many apartments. It feels spacious inside, like you can walk without ducking or hitting your head, the ceiling height is normal and most tiny homes feel claustrophobic when they have low ceilings.

i was thinking the same thing cause that shed is about the same size as my home

It's about the size of my new mobile home that I purchased last year. It is a beautiful home, and to me, the large, secluded country property that it sits on makes this an even better place to live.

@Tara Exactly. I too wondered how big his previous home must have been to consider this a "tiny" home..lol. It's like the person who buys a Lexus instead of a Mercedes Benz because they didn't want to spend too much money..lol.

@@lestranged This home is way bigger and nicer than my first apartment was! I WISH I had lived in something like this instead.

In my days too. All houses were on blocks. I live in one now.

So cute love the ceiling nice job

Yes, they did a great job!

yeah when i saw that semi drive into the grass i was worried. looks wet so i thought he was gonna get stuck

@@dustinreynolds1552 i 4

@@janjiguere638 what?

@@dustinreynolds1552 I am so sorry complete accident I drifted off to sleep and must of done it. I apologize.

where/ when was this? those prices sound so delightful

Those numbers are the price of rent now a days...

Lol! My house is 950k on a quarter acre..... where are you living??

it be because of supply and demand the price will jack

@@chickensandwich1589 : No doubt it is.

How long will it last?

How long will it last. Will it be like a mobile home and need a lot of repairs.

@@ratherbfishing455 On 45k (so 35k +10k land which is overkill for a 10x20) 30-year fixed mortgage with a 3.5% interest rate, you would be looking at a $162 monthly payment. honestly, 162 a month + homeowners insurance+power... your likely to be able to cover that with "housing allowance" in most area's on unemployment or disability.

@@ratherbfishing455 in many towns and cities they have "lots" for sale for 4-9k each. The humor being, you could put 2 small or 1 large unit on a plot that size. And property tax on a 35-45k unit on a 5-10k plot... is cheep. and again, the small ones, well insulated, are really for 1 person or a couple. power usage on them is much lower then a full house since there is much less space to heat/cool. yes, some area's are well overpriced, but this would be an option for low income .

@@jenniferstewarts4851 Damn it must be nice to live in the states... Ontario Canada, 1/4 acre outside my town (in the middle of no where), $300,000!

Me too it’s awesome.

Yeah I agree, it keeps the bathroom section smaller and more out of the way.

I agree. Shower is a great size also.

Very common in older Victorian homes in San Francisco….

I really really like the way he did that.

Awesome man, good luck! It'll be worth it! ✌♥️

DO IT! JUST GO FOR IT! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Same friend. I'm looking at some cheap land couple hours away from where I am, and just starting. I'll probably have to build it, but I don't think I'll mind. Keep the dream alive!

GO FOR IT AND BE HAPPY!!🙏♥️💯🥰

@@redfulla1494 DO IT AND BE PROUD OF YOURSELF AND OF COURSE WE WILL GIVE ALL GLORY TO GOD!!!🙏♥️💯🥰

Yeah I'm with you I almost fell asleep watching and listening to the music....LOL

I agree. 🥰

That's a big leg up

I’m thinking you’re blessed 😇 by god because of your parents who own the property you got to put and build your tiny house on all with all the guitars 🎸 you must have amazing musical talents god gave you and you could even enlarge your porch to make it have porch swings and chairs and tables and barbecue and they even sell tiny hot tubs so you could put and inclose part of area to be privacy and then have the porch swings on porch you have now open space you can do some cool things still you don’t have to pay for rent your parents owns the property you live on 👍😇👏👼🇺🇸🎸💯🙏✨✝️✝️✡️🇺🇸🙏✝️

​@@warriorgirl8118Facts

VERY NICE HOME.

Thank you Kat! :)

Very good

Hi, love it. Great job. Consider renting the upstairs? 😎

DOLLIGHTFUL??

Surprising to see you here haha

Also nifty if a friend or partner's over, and one person's showering and the other needs to use the toilet. Agree that was a very slick design choice.

@@thecognitiverambler8911 Oh I didn't even think of that advantage! Yeah good point

What happens if you want to poop before the shower?

@@wrenchrat Then you... go poop in the toilet. I'm sorry I don't think I understand the question.

I don’t normally like green but it’s very...mossy. Good choice imo.

I bet when the trees and grass are at their best, this house blends in so nicely. He can enjoy the green now, then when it’s time to touch up, go with black. My momma has a little mobile home she retired in, it’s just adorable. When she purchased it around 2007 it had cranberry colored shutters. She had a beautiful big deck attached. Over the years the deck faded, and the Duncanville filled the shutters that are some kind of vinyl. We came thru and painted the shutters and trim black, and the deck pure white. It looks like a little cottage out of a magazine, just beautiful. The design of her home has never looked like the typical, pitch down the middle of the roof home to start with, it’s really pretty. And I love that with the land and the cost of her home, her monthly out of pocket expense is a little under $300. She spends more on cigarettes 🚬 😣 then her home per month. That’s including utilities!

So do I.

The porch railings need to be green also to tie it all together.

@@CarrieJo5916 Agreed.

Thanks so much!

@@TheDruidsDen I noticed a robot vacuum cleaner in the backgroun....love the bedroom and especially the kitcen is that a computer toilet in the bathroom I saw ??? I must say the house doesn't look tiny at all to me it's gorgeous....love it 💋❣💋💖🤎😻

What's your source of water?

He draws water and power from his parents' house *somehow*. I find it hard to believe it better in the long run than just going for his own well and solar/wind power.

@@Just_Call_Me_Tim not better just ALOT cheaper

I watch a man use a mule to place a mobile home on my neighbors property. It was operated by remote control too! He navigated the home up a narrow driveway with great skill.

@@geod3589 dude was sick with the sticks

I always wondered how they got te homes in position. It was cool watching it.

Ha, I love that! He might be getting one now :)

Your house is real nice

Good luck! It's a lot of work but it's totally worth it!

tiny homes are on wheels for tax and permit relief. This is permanent land improvement subject to building permits and property tax for the value of the residence on the land.

I love it especially the shower and two lofts that’s really a bonus. !!

@@TheDruidsDen how much was the initial price of the shed / home?

County rules can really suck ! Wishing you all the best !!!!

@D12 Raging An 800 sq. ft. shed is a tiny home when you think about it.

@@coastdaze748 800 sq ft... that's bigger than most apartments, and even some houses in some cities are only 700-900 sq ft. LOL

I guess it just depends on the model. I'm 6 ft and feel fine in mine, good thi g to keep in mind when buying though!

Nice build over all but I do have to question a few things. The toilet choice makes me think this home doesn't have proper septic to it which in many areas would prevent it from being a legal permanent dwelling. And I also have to question if the ceiling meets proper coding for a permanent housing. Between the two things I have to question if proper permitting was done on it. Next is a minor complaint but is a legitimate one IMO. Your washer/dryer combination unit is going to be near impossible to get out of the space or even do maintenance on due to the L shaped room it is in. You would also have to remove the racks mounted on the walls to even get it out of the space. Assuming of course you can even reach the power and vent duck to disconnect so it can be pulled out.

In my area they build sheds pretty big that cost 7k CAD so if I buy 2 and connect them together I get a big house in no time. We also have pretty big rural lots for less.so building and living rural is still pretty cheap option. About legality .in such rural places people fr the municipalities act like family and nothing is so strict . Last summer went to visit a few properties and everything looked very promising . I have a house in the woods completely legal connected toward a good municipality and have almost the rural feel life but I also want to buy very rural property with a cabin for firewood

couldnt agree more, I only wish this realization had hit before I lost everything in 2020. I've got a cheap car thats paid off now, and looking to move to a cheaper place once my lease is up. Just saving all I can so I can buy a small place outright. no bills = dreamland!

Then get a second one for party events or guests if you got extra scratch like that. Ya know?

@@bdb1052 you will be thankful that you made the decision to live frugally. It pays off in so many ways. For example .. Sure you and I don’t drive the newest “look at me “ car of the bunch and don’t own a 3000sq foot home but as long as our needs are met and you acquire that piece of mind knowing that all that extra money is going into savings it’s a freedom like nothing else. No debt, no debt collectors calling, no unnecessary bills piling up. Just freedom to live well below your means. 🤠👍🏼

Yes, they need to learn not to follow the crowd. Everyone gets a biggish house and a huge mortgage.

And it’s so relaxing 😊

Than where do you eat your meals? At the computer desk? Does he sit at the writing desk, and his wife sit at the computer desk? ... No a lot of thought went into it. There are some glaring omissions here... But, it IS a work in progress, after all. (Perhaps A side deck off the sliding glass door for dining?)

@@rickcoona what's wrong with eating at a desk? It's still a table and chair. I don't think a formal dining table is necessary at all. But they totally have room to put a fold out table in the middle of the room if they wanted it. Just saying, I rather have space to make the food and stand to eat than no kitchen with a place to eat the food.

That's bad choice of music/sound, I sounds like something terrible is going to happen. Also the narrator's tone is grim. It should be happy thing, right?

It's nice, but I wouldn't call it a *tiny* house. The house's footprint is 16 x 50 feet, or 800 square feet, which is larger than many two bedroom apartments, and that square footage isn't even counting the loft space. It's a *small* house, to be sure, but not really tiny. "Tiny" I would consider 400 SF or less, maybe 500 at the most!

@@seanleith5312 - Different strokes for different folks. Also, what does your comment have to do with the one you're replying to?

“Alphas”....yeah ok 🤪

I am in a somewhat similar situation. I would need help with technical aspects, math has never been a strong point and currently it's not realistic for me to physically tackle such a thing. It would be interesting to know the other costs involved to determine if i could afford it. The cost of relocating the shed in itself had to be expensive. I would have to pay for the help required. Friends & family are non existant.

Yes that would have opened that wall up for a nice entertainment center/bookcase/display case/hutch, if the door was in the hallway. I would have done the same. :)

I like this shed

Hey can I ask where you got it from?
