Building My DREAM OFFICE In My Backyard! | Autonomous Office Pod

[@aaanglers]

Would you do this???

[@heathercummins1644]

Not a chance. I'd build it using standard materials. But, I took drafting in school, so could design exactly what I need. But I'm also not about to drop that large of a sum of money either. Especially since you had so much trouble & had to wait for replacement or missing parts. Hard pass. That being said, I'm glad you got the space & are happy with it. 👍👍

[@chriscomer261]

I would have to get a team to build it for me.

[@ENCFishing]

I definitely need an office space/studio myself, and I think this could be a good option! I think between me, my father-in-law, brother-in-law, and my brothers, we could absolutely get this done!

[@roastgg]

I'd love to see a follow-up on how the Pod is holding up.

[@aaanglers]

It’s holding up great! I work out of it daily.

[@dennisstewart7849]

Thankful for family to help you get the job done, but extremely thankful for a friend like Paul. He has skills, and he was there for you.

[@aaanglers]

Construction Guy Paul is the man!

[@chriscomer261]

Jeff, what a video. Not only did we see you build your office but we also learned more about you. To be able to realize that you needed to get out of the basement and back into nature is great. Realizing that this would help you mentally and allowing more quality time with your family is priceless. Thanks for your honesty (as always) and I cannot wait for your next video.

[@aaanglers]

Thank you! I'm always up to be more open with my nerds! Appreciate you!

[@ericevans4594]

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE OFFICE POD. 👍👍

[@boar211]

Great video, I've been looking forward to this video. Let's just say that the real star of the video is the jorts shown in the wrap time lapse! Great looking new office!

[@aaanglers]

🤙

[@timtweet8149]

Fricken fantastic office space! Not bad for a fishing nerd. Thanks for sharing Jeff.

[@aaanglers]

🙌

[@LunkerQuest67]

Nice little setup.

[@christophershoe9642]

Omg bro, so much work, so much money. Totally worth it 👌! I love your pod! I have a lot of construction skills, mainly carpentry and masonry. Nice footings, don't cheap out people, the foundation is what everything is set upon! Awesome job my dude!!! I'm loving the dad cut off shorts🤣! I would suggest a really nice(and expensive) masonry underpinning. Your in Michigan, you want great underpinning to keep your heat in, in the winter and summer, plus keep moisture out from your metal trusses. 🤙

[@beardfootofficial]

I just started building mine...Thinking I could do this in like 3 days is nuts!

[@beardfootofficial]

I agree with your review though, my wife does ceramics and we did a tuff shed for her space, by the time we built it out it was more than the workpod.

[@AutonomousAI]

Thank you so much for such an amazing video 🎉🎉🎉 Hope you enjoy your working time in WorkPod 😂

[@artcadegg]

These never took off so your video is the only one that I have found that wasn't by Autonomous themselves. I LOVE the look of this but I could get a TuffShed that is bigger for half the price. Are the walls insulated already? How hot/cold does your area get in extreme weather? Does it do a good job of keeping the weather and temperature outside? I would add a mini split or some type of temperature control.

[@aaanglers]

It is insulated and rigged for electricity with a light and fan. But i think you could build yourself for cheaper. That said, they have since dropped the price a bit

[@vivekgurikar]

Nice Setup! Mine didnt come with an AC. What did you need to do to hook it up

[@aaanglers]

Mine had a power box rated for the ac. So all I had to do was plug and play

[@BryanAlano]

Hi @jeff Thinking about getting one of this. is something that can be hack? combine into two units? to make it bigger? any thoughts on that idea would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@aaanglers]

Definitely not designed to be combined. They have redesigned this one, and I believe they have made a bigger model as well.

[@mitchellandsonwoodworks]

Just seeing this almost 2 years after you originally posted. Curious how this holds up in the Michigan winter? I'm thinking about getting one!

[@aaanglers]

It’s been great for me! I installed a $100 wall heater with a timer and it is perfect

[@68global-katherinevegagil]

Hello, I was wondering if you are able to swap the phase on the pod to where the windows are on the left hand side? Or it's on as is build? Thank you, Katherine

[@aaanglers]

It unfortunately only goeas together one way, so you would need to just turn it

[@giefaankim]

That's a sick Burly Members' Guesthouse! *wink wink*

[@aaanglers]

😂

[@CatGarlo]

how did you get electric in the pod? did i miss that some where?

[@aaanglers]

Pre wired, just plug it in to an outdoor outlet

[@misterP343]

How well does it do with soundproofing/isolation?

[@aaanglers]

Pretty well! 7/10

[@teatreeproductions7378]

How is it powered? My pod lite comes this week.

[@aaanglers]

Plugs into an outdoor outlet on your house

[@teatreeproductions7378]

@@aaanglers oh rad... so just a normal outlet.. doesn't need to be hardwired?

[@aaanglers]

@teatreeproductions7378 as long as the voltage is right, yes

[@christopherhill2773]

Hey thank you for the video. Thinking of getting the StudioPod...I live in Colorado...what was the winter like for you? I heard their insulation is R14 rated, which is pretty low? Any tips on super low and high temps? Thanks!

[@aaanglers]

Yeah, it won't be warm on it's own, but it can hold heat. So I picked up a nice wall heater by Heat Storm on Amazon for $100 and ran that on a timer all winter. I'm in Michigan. The heater worked really well and I was comfortable the whole season. In high temps, the AC works well too. I'd recommend putting the Pod near shade though, because it will heat up quick in direct sun.

[@christopherhill2773]

@@aaanglers thank you so much for the reply. Ok so your timer turns off at night? Does the nighttime cold in the winter freeze your computer components, etc? Thanks again for your replies.

[@aaanglers]

@@christopherhill2773 The heat retained from midnight to 5 or 6 am the next day kept it around 40-50 degrees, which was fine for my computer. If I was dealing with any colder temps outside like 0 degrees or less, I would run it around the clock.

[@stephenturcotte]

Hi Jeff- wondering if you have any moisture/ leaking issues on the front 3 windows? I'm a Pod owner with this manufacturing issue and have spoken to others with the same problem. Would be good to hear your experience with this.

[@aaanglers]

I've had people ask me this before. I think my model may have gotten lucky. They really overdid the sealant on it. No issues here

[@stephenturcotte]

Ahh good to know! Thanks

[@aabrady0]

1How's this holding up for you one year in? (thanks so much for the great video, I'm interested in your other content now too!)

[@aaanglers]

It’s holding up great! It’s been through some rough weather here too! Thanks!

[@DrorConstruction]

How big is it?,did u think about Airbnbing it since it doesn't need a permit with that size?

[@aaanglers]

98 sq ft

[@andrewwhite1802]

Great video! How is the snow load on this? Also what A/C unit did you use? Looking to build one of these in Oregon but will need A/C in the summer and ability to hold snow in the winter.

[@aaanglers]

It held up great this winter! Ac that came with it is solid

[@CasualBassGuy]

Throwing some foam sound panels on the walls? That’s a badass space

[@aaanglers]

I hung a curtain on the sliding door and put felt panels on the ceiling. Echo eliminated!

[@guyseide]

dope video , hey what was the name of the elgato wall mounts /? I really got allot of ideas from this

[@aaanglers]

[@BrianKuhl]

I’m having flashbacks of refinishing own basement. Not disappointed I did the things I did (design, framing, electrical, painting) and happy I let other people do things, but I’m probably passing on the sweat equity if there’s a next time 😂.

[@aaanglers]

Same here, that's just the way to go!

[@Seven7ails]

Bro, how are things with the Pod? Reliability?

[@aaanglers]

It has worked out really well! Still using it daily, even through the winter

[@Seven7ails]

Thank you. This company doesn’t have a lot of user review videos. Have a good weekend brother.

[@aggness860]

How much was this entire build? I'd love something like this put up this summer.

[@aaanglers]

Around 21k

[@EdwardHeavrin]

not staggering the siding is wild

[@aaanglers]

Eh, not my design. I hear ya

[@MrSnowy10]

whats the size of the office?

[@aaanglers]

It's 98 sq ft

[@fishmachine66]

Why did you not just help Paul do it from the get go??

[@aaanglers]

Cuz Paul has a family and work lol

[@bankruptsee]

3x what that small space should cost

[@aaanglers]

Cool, care to price out this build? Genuinely curious what your numbers are

[@bankruptsee]

it would be better to price this build at 30k as mentioned in the video.. would love a breakdown of materials cost for this.. I know it won't happen but I can guarantee you something this small is nowhere near that. It's a cool looking structure but it's tiny and there's nothing special about the materials that I can see, besides the triangle window being a custom size. @@aaanglers

[@glennschramm7255]

I don't see a building permit ? 😏🙄😬

[@aaanglers]

It’s a “shed”

[@deepbluesmarthouse]

too complex

[@Waldo1122]

26:50 Oh shut the hell up, this shed is overpriced. When it first started at 5-10k it was worth it, now it is 20k+ for that price I can build a shed that is bigger and better than this crap.

[@aaanglers]

So build it… and don’t be a dick on the internet. K bye
