Part #2 !!!!!! 600 Square Foot Tiny Home For $18,000 Yes It’s True….. Foundation Info!!!!

I built this 600 square feet ft.² tiny home for $18,000 pre-Covid in this video I’m going to take you step-by-step procedures on how you can build your tiny home and how I built the foundation for this home/cottage to be extremely structurally safe and will last 100 years or more. I’m also going to tell you how I lead the plumbing, electrical waterline and gas line along with cable in this tiny home. By building this home in the manner in which I did, it is extremely energy efficient with little cost during the summer months in winter months the exterior of this tiny home is made out of pole barn metal with a 40 year paint warranty. This is going to be the first video of a three series video of this entire build, the other two videos that I will be posting soon will include structural information, insulation, electrical, building materials, etc. in the third video is going to include room measurements and even some mistakes that I made. If you haven’t seen my first video, please go to my channel and view the backstory of why I built this tiny home. Thanks for watching god bless.

[@chrisgaskill7923]

I built the same thing 24x24 x 10' tall interior ceiling height . I am mortgage free . I then put a 12 x24 edition off back . 100 percent done by my hands !!!!!!

[@jeepmanking3577]

[@naliale3346]

Hello, I love what you did. I am looking to build something like this for my mom. Can you tell us about the permitting and timeframe. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@jeepmanking3577]

The only permit that I had to get was the building permit through the county tax assessors office and it was free. The best thing that I could tell you to do is visit your tax assessors office usually at the courthouse and they should be able to give you all information regarding permits, etc.. I built this cottage myself within a 10 month period of working a full-time job and raising a family. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask anymore. Thanks for watching!!

[@brendaangeles8112]

I just bought a circa 1900 house on a 83×160 lot, village water and sewer for 9,900 dollars cash. To knock it down and rebuild, zoning says i have to build 1,000 square feet. The main part of my old dilapidated house is...surprise...20×30. I am going to tear off the junk additions, strip the main part of the house down to the studs, and "remodel" the "existing house" into basically what you have. Thats a workaround on the zoning for me. Then i have the 600 sqare feet house that i want. My arguement to the village is why to i have to build AND PAY TAXES ON more house than i want.

[@jeepmanking3577]

Good luck with your build and thanks for watching!!!! Let me know how it goes, it may help others here on my channel!!!

[@jerrym3261]

There are areas of town here that undergo gentrification. Developers buy houses in blighted areas, get money from the government, rehab the houses and sell them to people that want to live in a house they own that is not huge. There's lots of money to be made if you "know" the right people. Anyway, I was looking at buying a house they didn't want to rehab and partitioning off a tiny living space. They make that hard to do. I was putting in time and money just to get bad news from the listing agent when I seemed to be getting close. I finally came to the realization that I didn't want to live in an area with the high vandalism, theft and other crimes, lots of random shootings lately. Sounds like you have a much better situation going in your "village". Good luck, I hope you make it.

[@alancummings5651]

Excellent build

[@JamieGAdaire]

Beautiful! ❤

[@VinKohl]

To be fair, building codes and permits were implemented because of shady contractors who don't think twice about taking shortcuts just to save a couple of bucks and some time. Unfortunately the building industry attracts sleazy people. This build is fantastic, I have no doubt any city inspector would give you the approval once he saw the structural integrity you implemented. You clearly have building skills and knowledge beyond the average DIY'er...I look forward to the next chapter of this walkthrough, your work here is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

[@jeepmanking3577]

Thank you

[@rodm5830]

Buildings codes were implemented so a house could be safe enough and structurally sound enough for a mortgage company to make a loan on it and an insurance company could insure it. They have the most liability.

[@CustomWeldingandFab]

But yet permits and licenses still don’t protect the interested parties. Seems another easy way for them to separate us from our money.

[@retha1875]

​@rodm5830 it is a circular argument. Contractors have to Meet the codes or the other things do not happen. I work in catastrophic property claims, you wouldn't believe how many people get ripped off by the vulture roofing contractors that swarm the areas that are damaged.

[@rodm5830]

@@retha1875 there are sleazeballs in every industry including insurance. The building department and their codes were not in response to vulture contractors. They are to make the industry more uniform with better and safe building practices so building are more structurally sound for habitation.

I would suggest an awning or some sort of roof over the front porch. I would also make it bigger so that she can have some chairs & a small table so she can sit outside & enjoy the antics of nature. Being outdoors doing something quiet like enjoying a cup of tea or coffee in the morning or reading or sewing is good for her health, especially since she's fighting cancer.

[@jeepmanking3577]

You are correct on the porch I talk about why I didn’t build it in Part 3 of this build. My mother in law passed away with cancer just before I got it completed. I stopped the full front porch build with porch swing and ceiling fans for her comfort. Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you for sharing. I want to build a small home on my property here in Oregon. It gets zoned as an ADU (a set of new zoning rules that's supposed to make it more affordable for people to put a second small unit on their property) However, permits to the city alone are over $30,000 Yes, over $30k before any construction costs. I also want to build it myself, however, they will not even issue a permit unless I have a contractor assigned to the project. So much for my opportunity to do this affordably :(

[@TheeAthis]

Time to move.

[@jerrym3261]

If I'm in the US, I want to live close to where I live now but, I want to live in a tiny house (14x20, stick built, on a basement) with a yard, garden and garage. There's no way a tiny house or building with a small living area inside passes code on a lot by itself. Although they said a couple of years ago planning and code enforcement was looking at ADUs, currently almost every piece of residential property is SFD (single family dwelling). I can't at any price build what I want and the small houses that are grandfathered in sell before you can find them. A few years ago, a couple of local movers and shakers started a project to show how affordable housing was possible (not a rental, no HOA fees). They bought a parcel of land and wanted to put 4 to 6 container houses on it. It was zoned residential with 6 units. Really quick they learned a single 8x40 container was too small to ever pass code so they went to stacking 2 containers. The county said they had to have a metallurgical engineer to plan and be on sight for the stacked containers. They got months in and lots of money when they figured the cost per unit to build was over $250,000 and rising. They hadn't even started any development on the lot. My opinion is, the system has people from real estate and construction backgrounds controlling what gets built and affordable housing takes money out of their pocket. I know people that are hiding their tiny space either in rural areas or inside a commercial building they own but, sometimes they get caught. I'm thinking expat may be the option for me. There are a lot of places you have the freedom to live the way you want.

[@MyrtletheTurtle3867]

This is a great build! I live in Vancouver in Canada. To build a cottage in the backyard of a home here (they're called laneway houses) costs a minimum $500,000-$600,000, approx $300,000 going to permits. It's insane. You also have to hire a general contractor if you're going to build anything in the province. My friend and her husband are building a house in the interior & he got a general contractor license to cut costs.

I would put the 24 x 36 because if you use block for the foundation then 24 feet will come out even with 18 inch blocks 16 to be exact there will not be any partial blocks. If you choose 20 you would need 13 and one-third blocks. 21 would take 14 blocks. To figure in multiples of 18 inches you multiply the length times 12 then divide by 18. That will give you the block amount. 73

I like you small house did a great job, most refrigerator’s the doors are reversible.

My wife and I sold our 50 acres farm a year ago with plans to travel in our motor home for a year (done). Then live in it for two years while I build us a 1500 sq ft Barndo. But living in 273 sq ft has more challenges than we want to endure for the next couple of years. So we are getting quotes right now for a 580 sq ft tiny house to stay in until we build bigger. This is far better than we drew up ourselves. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge on this build.

[@jeepmanking3577]

Well sounds like you got a good plan. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your story. God bless.

Had a friend who went to menards, loaded up a garage kit with insulation doors and windows. bought it for cheap. Built a basement, put the garage kit on top of it. Boom. Super cheap home. No debt.

Awesome idea!!!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!!!!

That’s genius. We need him to drop a KZbin video on it

I want something this size built on my property!

I wish you luck with your build, thanks for watching!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoyed this, Thx. In my experience designing house plans, the entry door would work better plan-wise, in the middle (side) of the rectangle. I know it might seem like an odd place, but it zones the floor plan better so you don’t have to walk through the living room to get to the back room(s). Also would be great to put a little porch over the entry door. But anyway, overall this is very cool. Cheers.

[@jeepmanking3577]

Great info, this fall or next spring I am going to build a small covered porch over the deck and door.. thanks for your info and just may help others build their tiny home!!! Thanks for watching!!!!!

@@jeepmanking3577 I like where the door enters the living area, you wouldn't put it on the kitchen wall and you can see the door when seated in the living area. I'd argue that house design for 1 or 2 person households doesn't have to follow the same rules as houses where you might disturb other people by walking through.

[@jeepmanking3577]

Very true!!

Awesome! One thing I would add: small A frame roof over the front door. It will save the door from weather down the road and shade the porch from weather too.

[@jeepmanking3577]

You are correct I talk about the front porch in part 3 or part 4 to explain more. Thanks for watching!!!

[@LunaDaSavage]

Love it! You should try short form content, you could make 1,000 short videos out of this project. That would be really interesting!!

[@jeepmanking3577]

Good idea!!

[@MsBree0]

True but I actually like the long form content, it presents the information all at once so I won't have to chase 1000 videos down. Also, less editing for him 😊

You and your wife are both fabulous and very thoughtful of others! What beautiful job! Godbless!🙏🙏🙏 I am a former construction worker. The only thing with building that holds a lot of people back these days post COVID is materials even if you’re a trained professional. You have done a professional job! I live in the country as well! I wouldn’t need or get a building permit! Only restrictions here would be a sewage approvals. Unless I tied it into my original like you did!

[@jeepmanking3577]

Awesome, isn’t nice to still live in America!!! Thanks for your input and your kind words!! God bless and thanks for watching!!!
