This was neat to watch. Everyone certainly knew what they needed to do next. Concerned how the windows were installed with no flashing at all. Thanks for sharing
i was just thinking the same thing. its a portable building though so its most likely not required. I had a 16x40 Graceland portable building that I special ordered to my specs,and converted into a small home for myself and my two girls.100% would do it again!
This was utterly amazing to watch. Wow! These guys could tour the country building 4 tiny homes a month and make some awesome cash. It is so cute! I love it!
Yes windows not same height, big concern to me was flimsy siding and basically one coat of paint. Sure will need a gutter over that front door. Water concerns definitely vapor barrier missing. But design with that hallway waste of space to my mind for 1bed/1bath. Seems plenty of room in main room for living, kitchen, eating. They work fast and hard, just need better plan & materials & would make great home! 😊
Thanks for the feedback, Linda! It's a custom build so the floor plan was provided by the customer. We use LP smart siding which is a great product with a 50 year warranty, resisting against bugs and water damage. Vapor barriers aren't needed in our climate (Texas) but we do offer moisture barriers to our customers, however, not everyone chooses to use it. Much of it depends on budget.
Congratulations 🎊 What a great working crew! 💪 You built what the owners wanted and could afford. If it is within codes for a residential home, then a high five to all of you. My husband and I with my brothers and a great uncle all help in the building of our first home. We ordered from a sawmill 1" thick boards. We let them dry like a teepee. We built a 24'x40' 3 bed room ranch style home. Fast forward, the new owners have built on the same measurement. That home is very built. Plywood doesn't last. There is a lot of upkeep, or it will be a rotted building. Money or shelter. I would definitely go for shelter. Beautiful job. I could comment about awnings and other things, but like I said, the owners knew what you had been building, and it is what they got.
Crew works together extremely well. Good to see. Curious though as to why no house wrap, weatherproofing of the windows and door, and structural connectors weren't used on the trusses?
Wow, it's pretty cool...😊 you guys got it down to a science. It looks really nice. Great job working as a team. God bless you and your families, and keep you all safe.
It shows what can be done with pro-active planning. Obviously a lot of time and effort went into planning this, down to the order in which the wood was stacked on the trailer Great work to both the carpenters and the system planner
I like it but concerned no metal plates on where the roof boards meet at the pitch to give it more stability? In Florida I wouldn't want to live in it with the hurricanes we have.
I enjoyed watching the men put it together they were certainly well coordinated. They didn't do a lot of things that I would absolutely insist on but it was fun to watch..
Cool! The only thing I think they missed was I would have used Tyvek house wrap under the T1-11 siding/ sheathing as a vapor barrier if this is going to be used as a dwelling.
Your deck and landscaping looks incredible!... Todd you work so hard and your finished projects are fantastic!..Tyler your incredible as well.. Michaek B
These guys are doing a pretty good job. Im just wondering why no wrap on the walls like Tyvec and why no primer before painting? The all in one paint and primer is ok, but I believe that one good coat of a good quality primer for the first time would be good. But, they are doing good so far.
I really love this home. I do have a question, I am by no means an expert or know anything about building. Are the blocks sitting on cement pylons in the ground? Couldn't the blocks on the grass end up sinking into the ground?
It's a shed, not a house. If you think this is sketchy, you should see how shoddy those building are are Home Depot and Lowes. I would take this any day of the week. If this was a living structure, there would have been a building inspection at every oint in the build. If you live in a strict city, this will never fly for anything except a shed.
@@RonnieStanley-tc6vi It's built as a living structure according to the comment I read. (copy/paste) "this specific tiny house was purchased by the family for the grandmother to live on the property right next to the granddaughters house. This allowed the elderly grandmother to have her space while still being close to family."
The affordability of a tiny home is good. But I do not like the very minimal insulation those 2x4 walls provide. I feel the same about the uninsulated floor. Also, the lack of flashing and sealing openings shortens the life of the building and increases the cost to maintain it.
I've often thought that U.S. building dimensions should be in 4' increments in order to minimize sheathing and lumber cuts. Thus the short dimension would be either 12' or 16'. The long side is 28' which is 7 plywood sheets, so that could stay the same. Am I wrong? Not enough difference to matter?
Awesome crew, knows the assignment and gets it done. I am a little troubled about the rigidity of the structure. Will it withstand harsh winds and a storm or a twister? Hurricane tie downs or bracing and some concrete somewhere, would make me feel better. Though this build is what i would consider on my land for short teem rentals possibly.Air BnB or for RVers or car dwellers who want a change of pace. Empressed all the same.❤
Thats nice but the window framing could use some work, its kind of being supported but not all the way. The windows werent even nailed in until ya nailed through the siding, never seen that before, wonder if it will leak. Never seen the roof framed like that either. if it works and the person living here just needs a home its ok i guess, i know i would still be happy.
I like it except for the lack of eaves. That T-111 is decent stuff, but I'd be worried about the thousands of gallons of water that are going to roll down the side of the house every year. How's it going to hold up? ... Although, if the target life of the building is relatively short, maybe it's just peachy.
Y'all did a fantastic job. I hope to have something like this built in the future. The plumbing work is set up, but I'm wondering why no pre-electrical, and shouldn't there be a window in the bathroom?
How long did the build take? No vapor barrier? I really enjoyed watching this, kind of therapeutic ASMR. On the left end of the house, the windows are not level, one is set higher than the other. What's up with that?
Fun to watch. But being an arm chair quarter back and a non pro builder. I have Always made crow feet’s on roof rafters. It will give your roof a overhang and lock the roof to the walls better. I’m not so sure about sawdust boards for siding. T-1-11 would be better.
There is only one exit in this house, I hope there is never a fire by the entrance of the house. And I also agree aboue the wrap that goes around the house and water sealent on the roof.
A second door would be a great addition, but this was a custom build and the customer only wanted a single door. We can add other doors as requested, however. We do offer the other things mentioned here and by others, but again, it depends on what the customer wants, and what their budget is.
Thank you for watching! We are waiting for the customer to complete a few things inside before we shoot the video but it will be coming soon! Look forward to seeing you around the channel! We did just post a video showing the inside of another tiny home we built if you want to check it out in the meantime.
One thing I didn't like was the 2X4 walls. I would have used 2X6 walls to greatly reduce heating and cooling bills and make the structure much more solid in high winds.
Absolutely! Some people request the 2x6 studs, and we do them from time to time, but more often than not we use 2x4’s due to budget constraints. Thanks for watching!
