Our 12X30 Shed to Cozy Cabin

We turned our 12x30 shed with loft and 6ft porch into a cozy cabin in the woods.

[@evamarie2247]

As a person who loves building tiny cabins I think its very cute, however, I would of staggered the wall and wood boards instead of one solid line all the way up. But I did the same mistake on my first cealing project. I do agree on one comment, spray foam is much easier and warmer. My house is acually two solid 16 by 40s connected with a 12 by 12 foot breezeway in the middle connecting the 2 units. Had amish make it. Sold our 40 acres and 3 bed home and built on 12 acres on what we sold our old home for to pay off the dept and start a new. My hubby and me love it! 15 yeara of marriage! We heat with a heat pump and pallet stove. 😊

So cool ..did you document it at all? I’d love to see the Amish built cabins! I lived in a tiny home once before and husband and I plan on doing it again with a farm. We will be celebrating 21 years next June. :)

What a great journey. I remember how excited we were when our shed arrived, knowing we were going to make it into our home. So fun watching your journey. Thanks for sharing

[@kristineboyd2319]

Amazing job!! Thanks for the video, we are about to do the same thing with the wrap around porch model..Graceland Cabins are so cool

[@anthonyp2312]

We just got our 12 x 30 cabin shed delivered yesterday. Thank you for some tips through this video.

[@dadcofiell6826]

Nice I want to take 2 of similar build and put them side by side a connect them blowing out the roof to make 2 huge lofts (this one is 12x24 living space) making mine into a24x48 😎. Nice job on the finish ty for sharing😊

[@baskervillebee6097]

Cute cabin. Best wishes for the future.

[@mitchwinder1204]

Really great job. I’m in the process of doing something similar in the U.P. Not quite as large as yours, though.

[@stephenjacobs6471]

Your cottage is so cute! And please add more videos

[@Hter-qm3pw]

Very nice. cool dog.

[@jodylee0241]

Thank you so much!

[@billmaffit2586]

Omg, we also own an Apache Ramada! Ours is a ‘77. Wasn’t expecting to see that in the video!

[@jenniferwingo7361]

Very cute. Enjoyed this, especially Spot.😊

[@nploojntoos3139]

You should pay for the spray foam much easy and nice and warm during the winter but will cost more. I bought one 2017 12x28 and has spray foam on look so nice and very warm during winter time also cooler during hot summer.

[@hafdissigurdardottir3176]

Loved everything about this video 👍❤️👍🦋🦋🦋

[@kayciblizzard2742]

Very inspiring! I’m about to embark on the same adventure in southern Missouri! Thank you for showing this you did great 😊

[@joyfullivingwithmeg7500]

I love this so much! We are buying a 12x32 tiny house shed this summer!

[@ericnuchols270]

I'm getting ready to do the same. I priced 1 x 4 x 8 boards at $9@ today, I think I will buy 2 x 4 x 8 at $4@ and rip them myself. That knocks the price of the boards down to $2@. Cheaper than the cheap paneling I was looking at. Little sanding I think it will look great.

[@timschannel910]

Cool am doing almost the same thing lol well maybe a little different. It looks amazing.

[@rickhiggins6521]

Yep looks very cozy

[@casperhoss2952]

Awesome video, well done! Your cabin is amazing!

[@toben42]

Alternate the cuts on the interior siding and a vapor barrier after insulation. Other than that I am doing something similar.

[@garybone4712]

Looks good nice job

[@gregyoung2346]

Instead of a jug of water on the counter, I use a new bug sprayer and a sink handheld sprayer put the 2 gal pump by your 5 gallon bucket Looks better and saves on space

[@MrBugman2525]

The thing for a ditch would have been a ditch witch, and insulation either foam shredded cotton jeans

[@HedgehogsHomestead]

good to see thank we are about to do our shed 14+ 48

[@geaj4214]

Hello, My daughter purchased a 12x34 shed similar to your. I was thinking of doing the floor the same in a gray color. Could you share how you put the flooring down? I'm not sure if I need to do anything to the subfloor or not.

[@paulbetka6477]

So your in northern Michigan. 😲😲👍🤷 What county. How much of a hassle was it ❓ inspection. ❓WAS it ok to use prefab building, Was enough square footage ❓❓😲

[@noaha9604]

Is it safe to lay flooring down before drywalling?

[@adonian]

OMG, look at all those oak leaves... I miss living back east. Commiefornia SUCKS.

[@purselmer5931]

Come on back! The east coast is still here and just waitin' for ya!

@@purselmer5931 soon as my kids graduate, just a couple more years then the ex no longer has majority custody.

[@purselmer5931]

@@adonian Wow, you know what you're doing. Stay near the kids - best thing for them, and then head on back this way! They're lucky to have you!

[@Quantrills.Raiders]

what are the building restrictions like in michigan? Is a septic required and did you need to have your shed house inspected by the county? Thank you

[@ramonal4648]

Sorry, I’m a newbie. What were you spraying on the bottom of the cabin?

[@mtmcclone]

No vapor barrier?

[@pokerfacetv4644]

Was there any particular reason that you used 1x 4's for the walls versus sheet rock?

[@nealfischer623]

I was wondering the exact same thing, would have been better, faster and cheaper. Must have been for aesthetics.

[@jodylee0241]

We just wanted to use them for the look. It was definitely more difficult.

[@pokerfacetv4644]

@@jodylee0241 it looks nice. Just thought I was missing something.

[@bowgibbly1]

The windows are to low for standard cabinets . Walls not tall enough for standard cabinets.

[@marcusemhoff2371]

Great conversion, what company makes it?

[@jodylee0241]

Thanks! I’m not sure what company made it. The company that we purchased it from buys them and then sells them.

[@LWLillie1]

@@jodylee0241 What's the name of the company you purchased it from? I'm looking to move to Northern Michigan... Thanks!

[@mehardies3999]

We have 2, 12x24 sheds we are converting to cabins in Maine and I bought the same wood stoves you have. How well does it heat the space in winter? Thanks!

[@jodylee0241]

It definitely heats the place up good. We plan to get a more efficient one next year.

[@MaryFilkins]

Did you insulate the floor?

[@jodylee0241]

No, we didn’t insulate the floor, but with the wood stove in there it stays pretty warm.

[@donnagum6172]

What state is this? Our state doesn't allow shed homes. I wish it did.

[@michaelargenta3856]

lime is pretty dangerous to be sniffing all day long for pets as well?
