I didn’t know neighbors like Tom still existed! The tiny house turned out great!!

[@buildersblueprint]

Tom was a great help for this project. We really appreciate him and our team for making this Amazing dream reality. We have already started working in part two and will be posting the video as soon as possible. Thanks for watching and God bless. ❤️

Tom and your wife are good helpers. You three did an excellent job.

[@boysrus61]

You made that look so easy. Next time can you put a Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 etc. It was interesting to see how quickly you did this, thank goodness for helpful neighbors and wiling wives!

[@CatsPajamas23]

Truly. While I was watching this, I did say that exact thing, "They make it look so easy!"

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

@@CatsPajamas23Indeed HGTV did this to me with our foreclosure they cut out so much time from those renovations that I often felt defeated and wanted to give up. Granted I hand beveled all my shower doorway tiles myself with an old belt sander cause I did not want the added grout lines with the added two inch wide bullnose. Now 14 years later I want a bigger tile cutter for large tiles with smaller grout lines and a different type of tile. But nope..no time nor money at the moment.

[@KarisGoogle]

For the windows (casing), you’re not supposed to seal the bottom for drainage purposes.. just the top and sides. 🙂

[@buildersblueprint]

After putting it all together, my neighbor told me that I needed to leave little holes at the bottom for draining but I think we might be OK just because the overhang is so big. Next time I’ll definitely do this. thanks for the tip. ❤️

[@booboobearbaby]

I love it very much, but one concerns me is underneath, why don't you put the metal cloth in the footing, rodent can chew through wood and get up.

[@spikefivefivefive]

Great point

[@buildersblueprint]

Thank you I will be adding some type of skirt around the entire building to try and keep any critters out. We are building a deck around the tiny home, which is why we were not able to put the skirt on yet, but in part two we will show and explain everything in detail. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@katherinegranger1995]

Did you install moisture venting in the roof?😮

[@adamsfamilyvlog]

How does the inside look?

[@dinkvjr]

So true.

[@HenryTyrrell]

There are plenty that will criticise, but I think this looks really well done. Good attention to detail and pride in your work. Not a bad pace of work either with no nail gun for a lot of it. Your neighbour seems great. A few tips: use a sharp pencil over a sharpie; a good laser level will make everything a lot easier and quicker; perhaps leave more room between the windows and the framing next time - when the building moves and settles over time this gives more leeway without the windows being in danger of cracking. All the best from a UK chippy 🔨

[@KevinNguyen-zn4vv]

People like to hammer the window frames all the way in when they're not supposed to in order to allow for flex. You can leave a 1/4 inch gap for stud nails and it wouldn't compromise the integrity of the scaffolding. The nails are grooved. People just like to hammer it all the way in. Taking it apart is a PIA.

[@allisongerhold3645]

It's such an awesome job in building your own tiny home. I am glad that you had help. Everything came out super. I pray that ya'll will enjoy it for many, many years to come.

[@pgmom9634]

It’s beautiful now you just need to add a deck porch and a little walkway plant some flowers. It’s adorable.

[@buildersblueprint]

Thank you that will be one of our upcoming KZbin videos. ✌️

[@CatsPajamas23]

Wow. It's so cool seeing the timelapse of the build. Great job! It's beautiful. (I was thinking that if you're not immediately going to move it, you should lift the completed floor, pour a concrete slab the size of the perimeter and let it dry, set the floor on and finish the house. It will deter dampness and bugs and other critters. (Of course you can do that after it's finished but it will be a lot heavier. It also gives you the advantage of stability without it being set in the concrete so that you can move it. ))

[@John.Flower.Productions]

Without water it is a storage shed, not a house.

[@CherrieMcKenzie]

This is a great video!! I'm thinking of building a tiny house near my backyard garden and your video gave me some good ideas. I know it was a lot harder than the time lapse made it appear but you should be really proud of your work!!

What a great neighbor. Multiple days of contributing 🎉

[@snart]

Curious about the concrete blocks for the foundation. Won't they...settle in the dirt over time?

[@martialag]

They should be fine. I've seen larger houses sit on cinders blocks for years (even decades) 👍🏾

[@Debitdeclined7]

I was searching for this comment this was the first thing i thought of. My shed is sinking and its on blocks like this. Its nowhere close to the size of this. Interesting 🤔

[@basedboomer5912]

I would think it depends on the earth. Here at the beach, everything sinks.

[@DawnDavidson]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. If you aren’t doing a foundation, why not put it “on wheels” instead, on a trailer platform? This seems to be an odd compromise.

[@Netro-ui3fs]

​@@martialagespecially if there is clay soil

[@rickiebansbach7871]

This looks great! I really like the way you added the stained wood to the corner. Really sets it all off. Good job!

[@dper1112]

For the window flashing, the lower corners are a common source of leaks leading to rot. There are various solutions, and one of them might have been a good idea. But your installation method is a common one too, so it's really a question of how thorough one wants to get. Extra water protection takes extra time and money, and there are so many possible things that one could do.

[@brent...]

I think it’s better to angle the sill, have a back dam, and let the bottom drain to the outside. That lets any water that eventually gets in to easily drain away. www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/publications/pdfs/building_america/window_flashing.pdf

Absolutely love this! I think you should have left the trim in white! The trim on the house and the trim at the windows up top would have been great white! I love the wood accents on the corner! It definitely gives it some style. Large windows and French doors are going to give such great light. Some large skylights would have been amazing!!! Very curious how you pull this all together. Why build this? You obviously have a house so is this for guest or to sell? I would live in that and be the happiest person ever to have it! Excellent job!! Awesome neighbor you have too!!! Part 2, I'm waiting for! 👍

If someone tried to live in my shed, I'm gonna tell them to go find somewhere else to poop cause you aren't pooping in my home, you chose to live in a shed lol. If anything, you could call it a studio once the inside is built out, but its still a shed in my book.

Because I have experienced critters (squirrels, rodents, etc.) chewing through the insulation from under, (costly aggravation); I will in the future cover any raised structure with PT plywood under the bottom and fully insulate the floor with R15 in the floor itself before nailing on the top floor ply, to avoid any damage that would now be impossible to reach otherwise.
