You have inspired and influenced an entire community since Beau had the idea to post a video about a Home Depot shed he thought might make a tiny home. Thank you for including us on this adventure, for making me a small part of it and for inspiring all of us to find ways to live simply and pursue our dreams. May God continue to bless you guys. ♥

I share your vision but haven’t checked into zoning restrictions in my state (KY), city, and county yet. Zoning restrictions are one of the biggest hurdles and hindrances to affordable housing, this needs to be changed so that US citizens can have a greater chance at achieving the American dream without having to be tethered to the rat race and barely making ends meet trying to afford a 30yr mortgage on a way too expensive house. SHED TO HOUSE is definitely the way to go. If zoning laws don’t get in the way however if they do, moving may be necessary to achieve your dreams

I've received a lot of inspiration from you. I purchased 5+ acres last year and really just thought to buy a manufactured home from clayton homes and just pay a mortgage every month for 30 years. But I don't want that life. I want to spend time with my son (1 yr old) and save money for things that matter. So yesterday I bought a 16x52 building and will be converting it into our home one step at a time. Thank you for sharing your journey.

So this was super common when my grandmother was young to essentially get prefabs for cheap and drop them into a plot of land and call it. We are heavily considering getting 20-30 acres to raise small amounts of livestock and 10-15 acres for us and my parents and maybe a guest house and dropping a garage shed. We have been mapping out the layout for years along with a self sufficient power grid based upon solar and wind energy with battery located in the garage with two backup gens. Living with your family should be considered a norm along with self sufficiency.

Nicole you can absolutely do this!!!! I would recommend a couple of things: 1) Watch this video, but please remember that I don't say "if you want to buy land with no money, first thing you need to do is GET MONEY". That is want most people think I say. Instead, I say, "First thing you need to do is LEARN HOW TO MAKE MONEY". There is a big difference. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gN1yn5mfqsuddWw.htmlsi=B9EDl7bMOAZwGa7V 2) Subscribe to our new Shed to House channel where we are talking about all things Shed to House only.

So what makes this is a more economical option as some suggest? I took a single 16x32 foot shed and priced out everything for a moderately liberal off grid style living, wifi and tv, a/c, but no running water and using space heaters, its over 200k! I dont believe theres any reasonable method of financing that either and would defeat the purpose.

@BetterTogetherLife Ай бұрын

Why would it cost that much? Your numbers are way off. Comment back with your line item quotes. Also….. buying a TV has nothing to do with the cost of a home.

@calebwhite1454 Ай бұрын

@BetterTogetherLife basic stuff like a 16cu ft fridge, solar power, water collection, heating said water, air and heat for the home itself, the foundation, flooring, everything. To be fair the biggest part of that was the land purchase, but in a desirable place, the second largest part was solar, because I do not understand enough about solar systems to package my own setup But even still You're trying to tell me you think that's cheaper than a down-payment on a home? It's like double That's why, yes I'm sort of griping here but also asking what you did if it was cheaper

@BetterTogetherLife Ай бұрын

Hmmm, solar power is not basic. And you can’t really consider appliances into your budget when comparing a tiny house vs a traditional home. Because it’s the same exact cost no matter what. So they equal each other out.

@BetterTogetherLife Ай бұрын

And I do not understand your math comparisons. We are in the pre planning stages of doing some very cheap and affordable consulting work. So if you’d like to chat more we can get you on the list.

What state do you live in that has favorable zoning laws that allow for building a shed to house, Recently, I was looking at the page of a KZfaqr in Tennessee that bought some land, ordered a shed to house built by the Amish, had it set in and was ready to build out the interior. They did make inquiries with the state and city, Somehow, the state law prohibiting this was buried in the website and they didn’t see it. The state said they can’t bring in a shed/house partially constructed. It has to be built on site, the state said they could deconstruct it and build it back, they intend to fight it, haven’t heard the outcome yet.
