A Tiny House for under $800!! Could you live in it?

Рет қаралды 85,152

Ай бұрын

I was walking thru Costco.mindimg my own business when a tiny house practically jumped out and grabbed me. (slight exaggeration...🤣) It was actually a shed but I immediately saw the potential for a cheap option for a tiny home that a solo senior nomad could put up quickly on a piece of land. It was certainly bigger inside than a minivan conversion and could fit just about anywhere. It beat camping in a tent by a mile!! The best part is it was on sale for only $799. My mind immediately started imagining a DIY project and where everything from the bed to the miniature kitchen and toilet could go. What do you think? Have I lost it or could this be a home for someone, at least temporarily. Let me know in the comments what you think and any design ideas you might have

At 799, I'd get two. Put one facing the other with a 6-10 foot gap between. I'd build a common room in that space to connect the two. I'd use the common space for the kitchen/sitting area, one shed for the bedroom and one shed for the bath and laundry area. Take out the metal vents and fill that space with a patterned glass. You'd definitely need to spray foam for comfort.

My dad bricked up the fireplace in the sweet 1938 Cape Cod he & mom bought in '75. He installed a three foot cast iron wood burning workhorse of a stove. Then he partnered w a small tree cutting family business after his shifts on the LIRR. Each summer, he'd build a small clubhouse for me out of branches, using thicker ones for the frame and overlay it with plastic then intertwine greener branches (like a little hut). He sloped the roof like a lean-to but it has four sides. He lined the bottom w heavy duty trash bag split open then covered it with a piece of outdoor rug. Each one was about 4x4. I'm 4'11" so I've always been "vertically challenged" but the size was perfect for me to have my little tea parties and read my Nancy Drew mysteries by flashlight. He let me have a lantern flashlight that took one of the huge square batteries and it lit it right up. He built them for me from 2nd through 6 the grade. That was the last year because there was an invasion of Gypsy moth caterpillars that found the perfect breeding ground in my little moist dark hut! It was a wrap for me after that! I'm 54 now & I simply love remembering the fun...before they came!🤣🥰

Several cities are using very similar size sheds as tiny houses to help combat homelessness. They're just big enough to put in a twin size bed and some shelves. Making an A/C inlet wouldn't be too hard. Solar on the roof and even small RV sized windows on either of the side walls to let in natural light - So do-able! Why more communities aren't doing this is mind blowing.

But Im too old and physically challenged to work anymore and on a fixed retirement income I have nothing to use to fix it up. So I have been devouring van life videos thinking I might move into my vehicle and rent out the house, use the rent to do some repairs (for about a year), then move back in! But because I am physically challenged I wasn’t sure I could maneuver around in a vehicle. But THIS???!!! I can do this!! It is even more room than the vans I have seen!! I can park in my own backyard, have a window unit AC/heater installed (Texas heat!) and run electricity and water to it!! Literally exactly what I need!!! Another issue I was having living in a vehicle was crazy stormy weather but bc I would be in the back yard of my own home, I would make it a thing for the renters to let me inside in tornado warnings! Bada bing bada boom! Add those magnetic screen “doors” for nice weather ventilation. Thank you SO much! OK, update!! I went to Wayfair Clearance page and am I reading it wrong? I found a TON of LARGE sheds for $99!!! Is that wrong, is it a scam? How can that be???

I was also taught that the worst thing that you could do was to enter retirement carrying any sort of debt. Supposedly the average couple nowadays spends around $15K on a wedding. To me that's just insane, bc I know where I'd be otherwise. Debt is slavery.

Great idea. I love the idea but I would get two and have a closed in walk through connect the two. I would have insulation, windows, heating system, flooring, water and electrical outlets. I would want a small kitchenette with apartment size appliances, stackable washer/dryer and bathroom with walk in shower. If the roof is not strong enough to handle the weather long term, I would look into having support added. Sounds great but it needs to be structurally strong to do this. But…..great idea.❤

Yes, add a bigger window and as long as I can stretch completly for a comfort sleep. This would do the job as a timy house. With a bit of fantasy it could be a nice home, too for a single person. Solar on the roof, a small one pot rice cooker plus gas stove option. Blessings

It's not so crazy anymore. I thought about finding a small one to put inside my garage, live in it during the week and then live in my house 2 days a week to save $. Nowadays most people are going to have to think outside the box to survive.

Great idea! Talk with the installers about possible issues. I put a tent on a platform and it kept the floor warmer and the rain didn’t come in. Maybe a shed/ house has ways to keep it extra cozy and dry.

Carol I have the 7-ft X 4-ft version that I converted into my shower shed on my property. first thing I do with that bigger one is I put in a bed about a little over halfway up so I can have a living room underneath it and a bed on top put in a small kitchen, have a hideaway toilet/shower, stashed under a shelf/counter. there's tons of things you can do. the biggest problem is building codes they're a joke you can't do anything these days without the building code enforcers coming and tearing down whatever you do, but yeah you could live in that. you can also live in a little 6 * 12 cargo trailer and pull it with a pickup. We are nomads we know how to live tiny❤❤

@jeanieirwin4747 Ай бұрын

Has has alot of potential. I wouldn't worry about more windows. It's really mostly a sleeping space. I would have fabric with murals on curtain rods from floor to ceiling to add depth and dimension. There needs to be some cross ventilation. I do fine with a comfortable sleeping surface and a recliner. I find a arm chair side table that doubles as a desk adequate. I wouldn't plumb it. I use bottled water. Same as in my van. I have a 12volt refrigerator and large bluetti power station with back up battery. This tiny home could be perfect for a landing zone between lan dwelling excursions 🏠

We have an 8x10 "cabin" with a porch in our backyard. It was a playhouse for our grandkids. I actually got the cabin from my friend who used it for her kids to play in. She now travels a lot and doesn't have a home right now. We are in our mid-to-late 60s. Have been thinking when the time comes, maybe fixing it up in the future for her if she needs a place to be longer term. We'll see what the future holds.

I drive by sheds at a business on my way to work and every time I say to myself they could most certainly be homes! They’re really cute! And it’s just my opinion, but we could definitely be housing the homeless utilizing sheds. I really like the shed you found. It could be designed to be a shed studio or a lounge. I’d do an area rug, a trundle sofa, a dresser that acts as a tv stand, battery operated lighting, and put up vinyl walls.

I would totally live there! Looking I was thinking how to improve it: could u cut out a window on at least 1 wall? spray paint light color to make it look bigger? lift it up and put on bed so it could be pulled? I like the light the barn door allows and it's cosmetic... could you secure a door to the inside that was secure and glass to allow light? I say reach out to some of these KZfaq guys who rehab vans/trucks and get ideas. Have sofa/bed attached to the wall for sitting, sleeping, storing. Attach portable outdoor shower situation. That area that's not sealed at the back/top could be cut out to make a nice transome window along that whole side at the top. It could be quite beautiful. I would just like to see it safe too.

@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Ай бұрын

Love your ideas. Since this shed has a style name I am thi king therr are other styles maybe with windows ir maybe they can add windows at the factory. Definitely a sofa bed and outside shower. I just bought a portable shower I want to try out.

Now reading the comments I see how many have found comfort in a shed--I think it’s the plastic factor that gave me pause in the elements. Of course heating & cooling are possible just as in a van. I think I would reinforce corners & ceiling & floor with heavy steel L-brackets against the wind (which I did in a smaller shed I have) it seems if you invest in upgrading it you wouldn’t want to lose anything in a windstorm

I agree. To truly be viable longterm some upgrades would be needed. But fir emergency situations it certainly beats living on the streets.

Solar panels on top. Spray foam and add 2x4 framing. Put white paneling up to give it more structure. That way you could also add a window. Put it on a cement pad with tie downs or anchors. Put on unzoned piece of property bought at a tax sale.

I love your laugh and how excited you were about this "home"😘 That said, uhhh, I don't think I could live in it but I think I am open to something similar to stop giving away so much money to everyone and to be able to save some money. These could really help people get ahead financially. This is a great channel you have. I'm enjoying your content🥰💙
