take some advice from a Lowe's employee. order it without windows and checkout the markdown section the millwork department has for cheap windows, doors ect. my store has a few doors and windows marked down as cheap as $20.

I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzfaq.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

Just remember that the shell is only 50% or less of the total cost, add a kitchen, bathroom, insulation, electrical work, plumbing work, sheet rock, paint, septic system, etc you get the idea, I have built my own house back in Australia

I love this one. I saw a plot of land for under 4k. With this shed house or one like it in my area, and zoning approval I could own my own home. So inspiring.

Another dude posted a video from Tenn. The exact same shed there was $6,500.00. FL sheds must gave gold nails in them.

With most of these two-story shed/houses I'd put the bathroom under the stairs (with a washer/dryer combo under the landing) and use the rest of the first floor as an open kitchen/living room. The second floor would be a bedroom, or two if you've enough room or don't mind close-quarters.

So glad Missouri has almost no restrictions! No size restrictions, can put them anywhere, and off grid no problem.

I still plan to get a “normal” house but I’d save up for something like this to put in the backyard as a really dope recreation and storage space with a hot tub and mini bar and stuff. Maybe make it a guest living space. So cool.

Materials cost on this is 3500-4000 you could build it your self too. I say do it if you find you don’t like it sell it and move, life is too short to be cautious....go for it!

my neighbor put two of these together end to end to make a great home. They had to add another door and a large window upstairs for egress in case of fire

I would keep the double door and in the future build French doors or sliding glass doors,it would also give a lot of light also.

use roxul rock wool insulation and do not for get under the floor .Try to rodent proof the floor also .I have a 1 story shed that I converted and built from a kit that I modified .I cut holes for my windows and built my own shutters and deck .Total cost was less than 3 thousand dollars for 16 x 24 .With all the drywall and insulation done by me .I am 62 years old and did it myself

Perfect. Downstairs = Living Room, Kitchen, Bathroom. 2 rooms. Upstairs = Bedroom, Study area. 1 room. Build a Balcony & Porch area outside the front.

Great video! We have seen an increase in sales with our sheds like this. We stick build them on site and can customize to your liking. If you are in the central or eastern US I can help you with one. We have installers from Maine to Texas for this same unit and we have other options also.

A big greenhouse or Poly Tunnel on the side of the house would be a great addition. At least for people like us. :-)

I took a look at a unit similar to this, plenty of room I love it.

Very nice to see a second floor you can stand up in and a standard staircase.

id love to have one of these to live in and just add 1 or 2 small extra rooms down stairs for the bathroom and maybe a 2nd bedroom or use it as kitchen

I’m currently looking for something like this to put on my land for me and my wife and daughter, trying to see how I’m going to go about this

I think this is a great idea for a house/cabin with a foundation.

I didn't realize this was one of you vids untill I thought I recognized your voice. We are thinking about one of these only a bit larger.

I’ve got the land and this shed is pretty much what I’m looking for. Small but not tiny. Perfect for retirement getaway.

Way cool. I like it. Finish it out of pocket as you can and you are home free debt free.

I like the headroom that one offers on the second level.

The New Day Classic Manor would be a Better Choice for you and your son. You still get two Story, Looks more like a House but the Up Stairs lends itself out for Two Bedrooms better Put the Stairs going up the middle and a Bedroom on either side. Small Bathroom Under the Stairs. Kitchen and Living Room on either side of stairs. I'm up in Walton County north of the bay. Got to Love NO Permits Needed for a Shed, no matter how Big.

Tuff Shed no longer offers a second floor option (unless you get one of the really big barns), they offer lofts only and the barn style has a head clearance of only 5 ft. Probably because of zoning laws, here in AZ lofts are fine by second stories require all kinds of permitting and inspections.

Awsome idea i own a 695 sq ft home but this idea seems so out of the box but can be done nice video.Your awsome hello from texas 🤘🐎🐴

Thanks for the plug Lidia!

I'd put the kitchen under the stairs area with an island separating it from the livingroom. Put the bathroom in the dead space at the top of the stairs before you get to the bedroom area. I think that comedian Andy Dick lived in one of these for years before he got an RV trailer to live in. I saw him living in it when he had a reality show on tv. He was quite happy living in his shed home.

Add electric, pumping, floors, isulation, paint, kitchen, bath eat, you will spend more than the cost of the shed kit.

I actually looked at the tuff shed website and they don't have the other 2 story that looks like a normal house but they do have this model and you can customize the size I don't think you can make it taller but you can make it Is wider and longer Also some doors and window placements and I'm sure you can call them for some added features.

Super cute... I can see that finished. Somebody needs to create a "tank wagon" for off grid living and no well. You can hook up a little covered wagon that is parked by the house with a large water tank. Then compost toilet and grey water irrigation system. Am I missing an easier way to get water off grid without a well?.

Unfortunately, many states will not approve these buildings to be used as year round residences and insurance companies will not insure them. Best to check with your local building code enforcement office before purchasing one.

In Florida we put in a fantastic shed with high ceilings, transom windows, electric , French doors, nice windows and a big porch. The building inspector had a FIT!! He was CONVINCED that we were going to have someone living in it and it’s NOT allowed here in North West Florida. Not really sure what he could have done to stop up but he was MAD. He thought we were trying to trick him.

I noticed that you are willing to have only one door for this home. I would seriously recommend have a second door (maybe on the second floor even?) in case of a fire, flood or other emergency.

I love it !! I can see the whole floor plan,how I would do it

oh btw I love your gusto and excitement about the whole thing-

You should get it 😊💖

Amazing video! This has inspired me in so many ways, thank you!

Simply RVing, good job Miss, sorry I don't know your name. Thanks for the info, I've been looking for these to possibly live in with my child.

I just ran accross this video and for that price I hope you did get it!

Go for it it’s cool

I like it and I live in a custom log house. Will put it on my farm in ohio

Really enjoyed your short vid. Well done! I'm more convinced now that this shed is the way i want to go, thnx👍

This video is how I became a subscriber I’m glad I found been a loyal sub

I would be drunk falling up the stairs. Lol. I need me something a little bigger. But I am looking at cheap $30,000 houses in my city! I am excited to be a first time home owner. I am saving up a few thousand for a down payment. I have great credit so getting financing will not be a problem.

Yes

I like this house

bruh I could make that my home. all I need is a couch, bed, Xbox, TV, mini fridge, AC/heating, wifi/internet, plumbing, electricity, bathroom, lights. holy fuck that would actually be pretty expensive.

Before anyone buys or moves into a so-called tiny house, they should live in an Extended-Stay Hotel Suite of some kind for at least a week a month would be best, just so you have an understanding of what you are getting to live in something that small indeed!!!!!

Also make frequent trips to your local thrift store/ resale shop. You will be amazed what deals you can find there.

Also if you needed/ wanted to add an addition onto your current shed home it wouldn't cost $30-$100k either like a traditional home

Go ahead buy it!

What the average consumer isn't aware of is that you still need to add a vapor barrier to the entire "shed" or you will absolutely 100% develop MOLD !!! This happens to almost every shed that people will be living in !!!

I'm going to keep working hopefully invest in one to have a small house

cool shed

Wow that is quite a stairway for such a small building. Seems like a waste although for the price that is pretty good amount of space. I love two levels for when you heat the lower level and the loft gets heated too.

Just looked at one like this today. A tuff shed at home depot 16x20 with upstairs $18,568

In a Russian cottage village, these were the same "cottages" most had outhouse, no sewage.

i want to don that to. we got those in my area. would make a great guest home.

Very nice

O My GOSH! A person would need some SERIOUS insulation in Minnesota. :-o

Are these sheds made with pressure treated lumber? That would be a concern since they are not really meant to be lived in.

I don't live in Florida, So I don't see a fire happening if I lived in there. I could just repaint it, Add some carpet, Furnish it and yeah, I could be done and see myself living there.

It's awesome, but you'll spare yourself a lot of heartache if you're sure of zoning laws. More than a few people bought a shed, zoned to only be a shed, and they get slapped with penalties when it's all built out. If It's zoned "R" *(residential) as well as "S" (shed) you're good to go. Once I get the money scraped, I'm gonna get my little hobbit home as well. Good journey.

If they had a place around Doniphan Missouri... i would purchase one...

first off.. it needs vents ... a window or one each end to let the heat out summer and keep it in winter...

I wish to find a shed with stairs to the loft!

Cool

Is nice but it depends in what state you live. In New Mexico land is very expensive. Is better just to buy the hole house

a smart floor...

I could see me living here

I'm getting this

Fill in with insulation and put up some drywall

--- 29 seconds in--- " and theres the ceiling " thanks for that, cause I was seriously wondering where it was.

Thumbs up !ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE

The big problem is that everything is particle board. It just won't last.

I like.

A spiral staircase would open up a lot of space

The roof on this Shed is not built to any sort of housing code - the joists aren't sturdy enough, there are no cross-members to create structural support and the framing is held together only with metal 'clips' and a few nails. I'd suggest checking the coding required by your county and state for getting an occupancy certification before you purchase. It may be cheaper to contract someone out to build it on site for you according to local/state regulations. THEN you don't run the risk of being evicted from your home. Otherwise, you may end up spending another few thousand dollars on 'upgrading' the shed to meet the standards required to get the occupancy certification. You can risk 'just doing it' and potentially, eventually, having someone report it or having someone inspect the 'house' and finding it unsuitable for habitation. Then, you are out $10K or more and still dont' have a place to live. Approach shed conversions with caution. You will need to have the building reclassified from 'Storage' to 'Residential' if you want to LIVE in it full time without the risk of being kicked out, and that could prove to be more costly than simply having it framed out, engineered, approved and built by someone from the ground up as a Home. If you just have them do the shell and do the rest yourself, you might find you're still in that same $10 to $15k price range and will pass inspections. This is an oldish video so I"m not sure what happened - but for those watching these videos thinking about Shed conversions, be aware that they usually do not meet building codes for residential purposes and may need potentially costly modifications. Check with your County Zoning Agency and City Planners and they can help you work it all out. Be prepared to spend money on inspections, an engineer to modify plans, cost of materials and contractor to do the modifications, permits, etc -- or to run the risk of being evicted from your home if someone finds you out and disapproves. The risk might be lower if you are in a very rurual setting, out in the woods or on a large tract of hunting or agricultural land. Just a fair warning for the curious Tiny Home enthusiast or, like me, financially unable to afford traditional housing.

This type of sheds aren’t made to the air quality standards required for living. The type of wood used releases chemicals that are very hazardous. You would have to COMPLETELY seal off all the OSB wood from the interior air. The safety standards are different for storage than living.

The real question is how will it hold up in high winds and tropical storm punishment. How will it age? What will it look like in 5 years after living in Florida?

I want a home.i need one too.

yes under ten grand but I think u need to put it together and that is a huge project.

I got one. More bare bones though. I'm building the second floor next summer.

I could see downstairs a kitchen/ living area and upstairs a bedroom. where would a bathroom go?

Well, she certainly has the requisite surly teenager.

I think you should have no problem living in one, though there are some considerations to consider. You would probably do it in a very rural area. I also assume you would be living off the grid? It is something that can be done with work and hard sweat but it is very possible...Have you done it yet?

There is used mobile homes for about 7 grand, single wide fully ready to live in. I personally would do that.

Better make sure they are legal in the county you want to plop that on. Most every town/county has a square foot restriction of 500sq....no to mention other by-laws about what the "officials" deem safe and livable.

I wish they had a place in Doniphan Missouri

Hi, is this still at the home depot in crystal river for me to check out? I live near Tampa. Thanks in advance.

Curious to know if she bought it.

That would be a good deal to put on a piece of property and put a patio on the edge of it and park the RV underneath the patio and have extra living space

This is the same shed on more jstu

did you buy it?

Good content, Camera work needs some work. Please take the following as constructive criticism from a trained professional, not a youtube troll. Camera work suggestions: 1. Slow everything down a notch. This is not a football game you're shooting, so slow down your tracking movement. Remember this is the first time we are seeing the content you are presenting. You have probably seen the inside of this house a few times, and if not, at least know that you can come back or stay around and take a better look at the details after you are done shooting. Your viewer cannot do any of these things. For the most part, this is the one and only time the viewer will see this content (i.e. the inside and outside of the house. As such, we need more time, per scene, to absorb the details. Try this trick. Shoot a scene as you normally would without looking at a clock/timer. Then review how long it took. Let's say it took 5 seconds to show the stairs. Now reshoot the same scene but this time make it last three times as long (15 seconds). Now review the two scenes back to back, pretending you are a viewer seeing it for the first time. Most of the time, you will find the longer version is more satisfying. Keep track of your results, try out different intervals and see where your happy medium is at. If nothing else you can edit out at the front or back end of a scene if it takes too long. This is the same trick used when displaying text on a screen which you intend to be thoroughly read (e.g time for you to read the text x 3 = amount of time to keep text on screen.) 2. No Jump cuts (going from one shot to the next shot abruptly, often by cutting out clips in the middle of a scene) Transition shots are your friend, just avoid wipes and transition times over 1 - 2 seconds (most are 0.5 - 1.0 seconds long) Don't forget to have some quiet time just before and just after a transition. Many a perfectly good video transition has been ruined by failing to ensure the audio is transitioned as well. 3. When walking around DO NOT use the camera to look where you are going. One caveat to this is if you are shooting a fan vid for the Blair Witch Project. LOL. Keep the camera steady and pointed in the direction of the action, focus of attention, or your general direction of movement. We don't expect you to get a steady cam or some DIY gimbal but we do expect it not to look like the cameraperson is standing on a magic-fingers bed filled up with a roll of quarters. When you used the camera to see where your feet were while you were going up the stairs i just about barfed from vertigo. If you are having trouble walking and shooting, I suggest you stand still to shoot the scenes, work on your transitions (video and audio), and end your scenes with transitional phrases built into the script. Example: "... and that was the view from the bottom of the staircase. I'm going to shut the camera down for a second while I climb up the stairs. When I come back, I'll show you what the shed house looks like from the first landing. [TRANSITION - Fade to Black/Fade up] Here we are on the landing. As you can see...." 4. Re-shoot your scenes several times each. This will help with your confidence and delivery. It appears you did not shoot each scene over a second or third time or you never got a decent take when you did re-shoot. Shooting a scene several times let's you essentially follow the min 3 take rule (practice, for real, just in case). When starting out you may need several practice takes before the "for real" take and may also given yourself a couple extra "just in case" takes, I know I tried for 5-6 takes when I started in college, and only go with 1 or 2 takes when forced (live action, sports, time crunch, etc). Viewers will not notice unless you point it out or make an error of continuity (shoot 1/2 the scenes on a sunny day and the 1/2 on a rainy day.) This gives you plenty of material to use in editing and helps you to avoid the sin of jump cuts mentioned in #2. As shot, it was very nauseating for me to watch your video. I had to stop watching it in full screen about 2 minutes in, finishing off the video in a thumbnail. The content was good; you went over useful information and gave out good advice. Keep up the good work and hope you keep learning and teaching!

Zoning regulations and building codes will prevent this in most places - even if you buy your own land. A use variance (exception) is almost impossible. Codes have size requirements if you intend to live in it. You don't want to waste money on this only to find out this has to be torn down or removed. Use quality materials. Do it right and your land will increase in value with a quality tiny home and insurance won't be an issue. Do it wrong and you've got a costly nightmare.

Better Check local codes to make sure you can live in something like this where you want to put it.

I love it! Perfect for me! U can do a lot with that?,
