He bought a shed & made a luxury Tiny Home! TOUR + COSTS

День тому

Nick takes us on a tour of his luxury backyard tiny home shed conversion. In 2019, Nick purchased a pre-fab shed, had it delivered to his property, and spent 18 months building it out into a luxury tiny home. In this video he breaks down the costs as well as the process and timeline of having the shed delivered and set up on a foundation with utilities.

I got the 10x20 one for $5500 (5% off cuz it was a repo). With a block crawl space, framing/finishing inside, and hooked into full home systems, I added 2 windows on the back wall too. it cost me about &20k. I love it.

I think you could extend the porch out 4 or 5 feet by moving the railing to the eadge of the new area. Then you'd have more room to swing or sit in the sun area. Also more area for other people to sit on the.porch.

@MississippiHomesteadJourney 6 місяців тому

Since it's a corner where you can't do much with, I think that the burners works okay, but it is a bit awkward. Shorter people would have trouble cooking on it without something to stand on. I wish I would have gotten a 6 or 8 foot porch on my cabin instead of a 4 foot one. The swing is WAY too big for that porch.

Last yr, my son's friend bought this and we wired it for him in a weekend! Elec hot water tank went under the stair landing. Elec Panel was above that with elec service meter on the N end of the building. Circuits went up through upper and lower stair well walls. Toilet, shower, was under stairs, 30" door on rt end. Kitchen cabinets from stair to bathroom door. Wood stove in S. back corner of liv room. Mini/split AC N end, next to elec service. Upstairs big bedroom and sleeper/sofa down stairs for company. His Tuff Shed roof sagged and walls spread after heavy rains! We pulled the walls back in with come-alongs, Bolted steel cables thru the wall headers, next to each roof rafter with turn buckles in the center for adjusting. Then added an L shaped brace above the ceiling and short vertical 2x4's bracing the center ridge. Building wouldn't have passed a framing inspection as-is but the guys who built the kit weren't framers and there was no inspections out in the country... Glad we caught it in the elec rough in stage!

I was so excited to see his focus on ideas like this shed conversion to provide affordable housing for those whose shelter is a tent... or, less. He can do both and I find the balance of gorgeously located, amazing rentals (the A frame is still my favorite) and comfortable lovely tiny homes wonderful!

@joel-em3et 10 місяців тому

Comment of not affordable places to stay especially for shacks. Simply put He is Greedy! Karma will come back to bite him in the ass!

@sashabenoit1518 10 місяців тому

He did this entire shed build on $30k, that's including the purchasing of the shed bare bones at $8k, plus the delivery and install, all of the material, foundation electrical and plumbing... $30k is on the *lowest* end of what a new car cost these days, basically for a base model. So, I'm not sure how you would consider that to not be affordable housing... You literally will not find anything cheaper. Even most tiny houses these days have a starting price of $100k+, same with camper vans and other rigs. Also, you can't possibly compare this to someone who lives in a tent or "less than". A tent doesn't have anywhere near the amount of structural integrity or protection from the elements, nor does it have all of the amenities and modern conveniences like indoor plumbing with running water, electricity, and a full working kitchen. So, I'm not understanding the point you're trying to make here...

Very nice. The only problem I see with shed house conversions like this is they don't have a vapor barrier between the studs and the exterior plywood sheathing. If it were me I take all that sighting off, add a layer of foam insulation wall board, and then wrap it with Tyvek wrap before putting the original plywood wall boards back on. If only there were a shed maker to cater to the conversion market! They could make units wrapped like that, maybe with wall studs that are 2 ft taller to allow for roomier lofts.
