Part #2 !!!!!! 600 Square Foot Tiny Home For $18,000 Yes It’s True….. Foundation Info!!!! 

Awesome!!!! I think with this size of home, vaulted ceiling or higher like yours would be great. You should be proud of yourself and that has forever changed your future. Thanks for watching and your plan of your home!!!

I’ve had this dream to buy a piece of land and about build about 5-10 small bare bones homes out of 20 ft shipping containers. Just basically a living area with a small bathroom/ shower. Affordable living to rent out

​@@jessiesineath7702Smart. That's a great idea.

Now build me one and get paid.

How much did it cost?

Thank you and thanks for watching!!!!!!

I pray that God will provide your needs for you and your mom, God Bless!!!!

That’s awesome that you would do this for your brother and I hope everything works out for the both of you. It takes time but it can be done with determination and hard work. Thanks for watching!!! Part 3 should be out by this Monday, so stay tuned my friend, God Bless!!!!

U ever thought putting solar heat on ur building

No that never crossed my mind, the trees would block most of the Sun..

Hello, I love what you did. I am looking to build something like this for my mom. Can you tell us about the permitting and timeframe. Thank you so much for sharing.

The only permit that I had to get was the building permit through the county tax assessors office and it was free. The best thing that I could tell you to do is visit your tax assessors office usually at the courthouse and they should be able to give you all information regarding permits, etc.. I built this cottage myself within a 10 month period of working a full-time job and raising a family. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask anymore. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for your story!!!! Small is much easier to clean for sure. Thanks for watching!!!!

I’m glad you found this, check out my channel and go to my playlist you will find 3 more videos of this build. Thanks for watching!!!

It was built before Covid so price has to be more, now.

Yes of course, same price today would be close to $22-23000.

I will pray that God will open the door for you to find a home and peace in your heart!!

Thank you

Buildings codes were implemented so a house could be safe enough and structurally sound enough for a mortgage company to make a loan on it and an insurance company could insure it. They have the most liability.

But yet permits and licenses still don’t protect the interested parties. Seems another easy way for them to separate us from our money.

​@rodm5830 it is a circular argument. Contractors have to Meet the codes or the other things do not happen. I work in catastrophic property claims, you wouldn't believe how many people get ripped off by the vulture roofing contractors that swarm the areas that are damaged.

@@retha1875 there are sleazeballs in every industry including insurance. The building department and their codes were not in response to vulture contractors. They are to make the industry more uniform with better and safe building practices so building are more structurally sound for habitation.

Thank you and God Bless!!

Well thank you and thanks for watching!!! If you haven’t already check out part 1 , 3 and 4 of this build series on my channel. Thanks for watching god bless.

I need one now too.😅

@amonratpeavy9717 it is a very nice little home, thanks for watching and God Bless!!!

Thank you, and yes it can be difficult for sure. I pray that God will give both of you guidance on how to handle your situation. No one can really plan for such a situation nor do you really know what to do until your in this time in life. God says to honor your mother and father and for me I really didn’t understand the true meaning of that until that time came for us. The both of you hang in there and take one day at a time. God Bless..

Good luck with your build and thanks for watching!!!! Let me know how it goes, it may help others here on my channel!!!

There are areas of town here that undergo gentrification. Developers buy houses in blighted areas, get money from the government, rehab the houses and sell them to people that want to live in a house they own that is not huge. There's lots of money to be made if you "know" the right people. Anyway, I was looking at buying a house they didn't want to rehab and partitioning off a tiny living space. They make that hard to do. I was putting in time and money just to get bad news from the listing agent when I seemed to be getting close. I finally came to the realization that I didn't want to live in an area with the high vandalism, theft and other crimes, lots of random shootings lately. Sounds like you have a much better situation going in your "village". Good luck, I hope you make it.

Thanks man!!! I hope the info given will help you and so many others build your tiny home/ cottage, thanks for watching and God Bless!!!!

Your welcome, I hope you watch part 3 and 4 of this build Lon my channel. Thanks for watching!!!!’

That’s awesome, I hope some of my ideas will help you with your build!!!! Two more videos coming on this build. I man handled my trusses on top of my 2x6 walls, I will discuss how I got them up there on my next video. Thanks for watching!!!!!

I would put the 24 x 36 because if you use block for the foundation then 24 feet will come out even with 18 inch blocks 16 to be exact there will not be any partial blocks. If you choose 20 you would need 13 and one-third blocks. 21 would take 14 blocks. To figure in multiples of 18 inches you multiply the length times 12 then divide by 18. That will give you the block amount. 73

Awesome!!!!! So many people have said there’s no way I built it for$18000, but you have done one for a little more but even bigger and better!!!! Thanks for your info and thanks for watching!!!!

Thanks and thanks for watching!!!!!

Man that’s unbelievable!!!!!! I don’t think I could live there. One day I’m sure things will change here where I live. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your building plans.

Time to move.

If I'm in the US, I want to live close to where I live now but, I want to live in a tiny house (14x20, stick built, on a basement) with a yard, garden and garage. There's no way a tiny house or building with a small living area inside passes code on a lot by itself. Although they said a couple of years ago planning and code enforcement was looking at ADUs, currently almost every piece of residential property is SFD (single family dwelling). I can't at any price build what I want and the small houses that are grandfathered in sell before you can find them. A few years ago, a couple of local movers and shakers started a project to show how affordable housing was possible (not a rental, no HOA fees). They bought a parcel of land and wanted to put 4 to 6 container houses on it. It was zoned residential with 6 units. Really quick they learned a single 8x40 container was too small to ever pass code so they went to stacking 2 containers. The county said they had to have a metallurgical engineer to plan and be on sight for the stacked containers. They got months in and lots of money when they figured the cost per unit to build was over $250,000 and rising. They hadn't even started any development on the lot. My opinion is, the system has people from real estate and construction backgrounds controlling what gets built and affordable housing takes money out of their pocket. I know people that are hiding their tiny space either in rural areas or inside a commercial building they own but, sometimes they get caught. I'm thinking expat may be the option for me. There are a lot of places you have the freedom to live the way you want.

This is a great build! I live in Vancouver in Canada. To build a cottage in the backyard of a home here (they're called laneway houses) costs a minimum $500,000-$600,000, approx $300,000 going to permits. It's insane. You also have to hire a general contractor if you're going to build anything in the province. My friend and her husband are building a house in the interior & he got a general contractor license to cut costs.

@@MyrtletheTurtle3867 wow that’s crazy money!!!!!! I’m very lucky to live where I live. God bless and thanks for watching!!! my wife and I was in Vancouver back in June pretty cool waterfront area, it was pretty awesome!!!!! you should subscribe to my channel. We just posted the video when we went to Vancouver.

You are correct on the porch I talk about why I didn’t build it in Part 3 of this build. My mother in law passed away with cancer just before I got it completed. I stopped the full front porch build with porch swing and ceiling fans for her comfort. Thanks for watching!!!
