[@mariogonzales814]

Where are you guys located at? Do you guys have a yard in Phoenix, Arizona?

[@mariogonzales814]

Give me a price on a 10 x 14 cottage

[@staciemcteague3545]

I would open concept the living room and the kitchen on that tiny blue house and I have a question you said you had multiple lots. Are they all in Texas? I currently live in New Hampshire and have been looking for repo storage shed to possibly make into a tiny house

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

We are based in Texas. Unfortunately, we do not go to Arizona! If you ever make it out our way, come see us!

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

We agree about the open concept! Unfortunately, all of our lots are in Texas and we are unable to go that far north. If you ever make it out our direction, come see us!

[@debistarnes5151]

I don't see it as ugly... someone who needs a home might be glad to have one.

[@mayshakennedy8948]

I would like to see an open floor plan between the living room and kitchen

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

We think that’s a great idea! Thanks for the feedback.

[@kathyking9928]

I was thinking the same thing

[@lielikealog]

I would like to see the blue shed turned into a beautiful tiny home made with used materials , free and donated, and on a strict budget of 4 to 5 thousand dollars . I love to see a challenge .

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

Fantastic idea!

[@alicialunz]

I would also like to see them fix it up with salvaged stuff scratch and dent sales for building materials. Thrift store items.. donated etc, why because i want to do this for myself since I'm on SSI low income and I'm disabled I want to see step by step of diy instructions and all for little to nothing! Please I have to get back home I am stuck in Colorado and rural and my entire life family friends are in Florida and I made mistakes and got stuck . So I need to find someone to sh{w me and give me hope at least thank you!

[@RobynDavis-sj9tc]

I’m in very similar situation! I want to see how to turn a space like this into a liveable place spending as little as possible!

[@mistyd0116]

Kitchen and living room should be open concept to keep it from looking so dark. I would also reconfigure how the closet is setup in the bedroom so that it looks bigger even thought it isn't.

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

Agreed!! Great feedback. Thank you so much for watching.

[@kevinbaker6168]

I forgot, move the closet in the bedroom so you cut down on wasted space and put in a larger door.

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

Great suggestion!

[@THETalesFromTheAbyss]

What's the point of making the closet looking bigger then what it is

[@aunttriciaattic]

What I don't like about videos like this when y'all talk about the buildings y'all need to give the price. I don't even like when I go in the store and I don't see a price. I don't think it's right for someone to not have a price on an item and then that way they can tell you what they want to tell you the price is.

[@debc315]

That happens more often in Dollar General and Target lately

[@shydreamguyman4098]

I bought a trailer for 9K + 3,500 to get it moved to my land . Before it got moved to my place i saw an older listing for it someplace else online . the original price they were asking for it was 17K + moving fee . So, i got it at a good discount price . if it had been priced t 17K when i asked about it i wouldn't have ben able to get it . As was i had to get 2 loans . 1 for 6K and another for 3K to buy it then i had to save up for 8 months and borrow money from family to get the 3,500 together to have it moved .

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

​@@debc315and if there isn't a price, I don't buy it. If I really want it, I take it anyways, have it price checked and if it's not a price that I am willing to pay, I tell them that I don't want ir

[@tombusshart3971]

When I don't see a price on something then I assume that it costs too much , it's very annoying when people don't put a price on something

[@Casinogamer790]

Y'all, that sounds so ignorant.

[@JigsawPuzzleConnection]

First it is not ugly and yes I would love to live tiny.

[@dragonssweetie13]

I like this tiny house just the way it is... I wish I could afford to get one

[@phillipfoxworth2726]

An open concept living area sounds good to me. Also, I like the idea of making everything in the home handicapped accessible when I say everything, I mean the bathroom, the kitchen, and especially the entrance to the home

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

Love it!! Great idea to make the home handicapped accessible. Thanks for watching!

[@yvonnecowan5994]

My second that, I would love to see the place made for handicap accessible, including outdoor ramps and maybe a deck space or gardening too. Also, do you renovate these places yourselves generally I mean, could I come in and buy a place and have you guys renovated in this way for me?

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

@yvonnecowan5994 more often than not, we sell them as is. However, we do offer the finish out work. Typically people looking for these to live in want to do the work themselves to save money. That said, we are looking at possibly building a move-in ready tiny home under $25,000 that we can offer for rent-to-own for under $1,000 a month. Exploring that option now and just posted a video sharing some of those ideas.

[@aprilmcdonald6126]

So many great ideas! Yes to an open living room-kitchen concept. Yes to handicapped accessibility. And especially yes, to recycled/upcycled material. Add a porch, a few extra windows and consider "vaulting" the ceiling, if possible. Please fix the crazy placed electrical outlets! Add a laundry space and a nice little "reading cove/nook". How exciting! I'm getting ready to embark on this journey.

[@tamidarby2016]

Eco-friendly heating and cooling system inside there would be awesome. Maybe some resin free flow flooring.

[@anniemaulson2387]

Take the wall down between the living room and kitchen leave it open so it's a little bit bigger

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

That’s a great suggestion! Open floor plans are the way to go these days - and would certainly open up that tiny living room!

[@LaurielMason]

Awesome job showing these off. These repos are in a lot closer to new condition. I've watched a lot of repo shows. These are more like newer. than them!(Upscale) Thank you so much for sharing❤ God bless all of you to show them off

[@dianalee8967]

Perfect for a senior living alone like I am I'm 90 years old but there's a lot of seniors out there that live alone and that would be perfect and safe with just one door and you could fix it up retro like in the 1950s that would be so cute..

[@Alice-oz6lw]

I enjoyed the video. What I would like to see is you fix the tiny house up from top to bottom as you mentioned and then raffle it off. You can charge $50 to $100 a ticket. Just something to think about!

[@patriciamaraj4887]

That would be a blessing for some people.

[@gstmist9362]

Yes....yes I would, anything to escape senior apartment living with all their rules, I'm 69 year old female on social security and would love to have a home of my own, of course can't afford one but one can dream can't I? I'm in Florida but would love to live back home in Missouri. Somewhere away from big cities in a small victorian home. Ahhhh, I'm sure there are thousands of people just like me. But regardless, I'm happy, I'm not complaining mind you I'm blessed to have a place to live.

[@lapetitemaison4219]

1st, strip it all out. Living room up front. Add a small woodburner in a corner with a river rock base. Open kitchen behind the living room. Black kitchen cabinets below, butcher block counter and light wood cabinets above on both sides. Shiny grey glass subway tiles for backsplash that goes all the way up to the top.Open doorway to a small laundry/bathroom on 1 side and small pantry on the other. Then whatever space is left...Bedroom. Light hardwood floors. Paint the outside black or dark grey and add light wood toned shutters. Front porch would be a cool addition. Oh, almost forgot, inside walls all white and add a couple of foresty black ceiling fans. :)

Hard to believe that a SHED shaped like a BARN would house animals. Have we gotten so far away from farms that we're astonished by the use of a small building for animals.

[@BoJo5066]

That is what I was thinking. It was actually comical that he almost seemed horrified by.......GASP........farm animals being sheltered in a shed of all places. I smiled and figured that the nice young man probably hasn't ever lived the poorer side of farm life. 😂🤭🤔

[@aprilhayes4901]

I would like to see different arrangement of the walls kitchen, bathroom, bedroom living room and so forth.

[@estherclopp8604]

It needs a stackable washer/dryer unit. Maybe open concept living/kitchen to open it up and make it look bigger.

[@2WOLFS]

Yes I would, and I have a very good hand of giving TLC. If I could afford it I would absolutely love it. Remember everyone has their own taste and being a tiny house you need to make use of every inch of space. I would want plenty of lighting in each room. The wall between the kitchen and living room could be removed or replaced with some shelves. I would have know problem making that little blue house into a happy, comfortable home.

[@rebeccamehochko3039]

Open concept with living room and kitchen, which would make it feel bigger.😁

[@rrain3375]

If you do anything I hope you put in insulation. Because I don’t know where you are but most of the United States experience cold in the winter months.

The blue house needs to be an open concept type house. Bathroom should have a walk in shower, and 1 or 2 bedrooms.

[@charlenelundquist3512]

Insulation, built-in desk in kitchen for computer, and flooring that looks like wood throughout.

Thanks for giving me ideas.

[@stevemelton8196]

Absolutely I would

[@AnnacolleenEtters]

What did y'all do with the sheep? I love that red cabin, and the one with the lofts, stains are covered with flooring. An 8 x9 would make a good tiny home. The blue one isn't so bad. I'd knock down the wall between the living/dining room, put a half wall in for a counter, put nice flooring in. I like nice tile. The tub is ok, but if you keep it, put some nice walls up. I happen to like a cozy cabin feel, with cedar wall. Mexican tiles are pretty. Paint the outside, a brick red, and install a few double hung windows in. I wish I could find a good place for my grandson to live, do some work. He wants to start up a business. I have lots of land, just have to sell my husband on the idea of a tiny home.

[@DannyBradley-f1w]

I would like to see y'all give a finished tiny home to a needy disabled senior citizen on a fixed income like me

[@lindahackney665]

Open concept for sure. The only thing that should be closed off is bathroom and bedroom. No lofts and farmhouse style. Hardware floors. The main thin is think of this as a senior grandma home. Try to remember that your making this for your mom that likes to craft and sit on her porch. I will be moving back on my land in Texas in 2 years, and I will need one for myself. I’ve got you locked in my phone…. God is good ❤❤❤❤

[@shirleybarber9735]

I would love to have one,

[@AtlasBackyardSheds]

If you’re in Texas, come see us!

[@lesliebooth2833]

I think the bedroom needs better access. A wall with a door could easily be built along the side of the linen/towel closet to open to the bathroom creating a “hallway” from the kitchen to the bedroom The trusses should be made a feature in the living room. It’s already so small that would open it up visually but on that note I agree with another commenter that it needs an open floor plan between the kitchen and front room. So much potential!!!

[@carolkokx9638]

I would just fix up once already there

[@angieross4780]

[@jfurhart5572]

[@burly636]

The one you call the ugly one I would have that a little sewing room next one would be an art room and I’d make a place where I could sleep if I wanted to because I’d have it on my property next to my house. I think you had to sell it to me when you’re done 😅. Seriously. I’d have it solar powered with small appliances as you need an art house . I would go crazy with that one. I want it😢😢 I love the red one. I’d love to be able to live in one of those. In Missouri. I’m waiting to see the when you call ugly..

[@TheREALOC1972]

I love it but I would HAVE to flip the kitchen and Living rooms or open them up to one room, that living room is WAY too small and the kitchen is WAY too big. the majority of people confuse tiny home living with regular home living. I've lived in a 16x24 (384 sq feet) tiny house for 5 years and the reality is you spend VERY little time in the kitchen or bedroom and most of time in the living room. My tiny house, which I'm going to have to expand now that my 12 year old grandson lives with me, is set up this way.... you walk into the great room, which is 16x 16 (256 sq feet) then the kitchenette is in the back right corner and is 6 feet by 6 feet along the wall with an island my bedroom is 8x10 and my bathroom is 8x6. Like I said I'm going to have expand to a second bedroom so I'm thinking I'm going to build the second 8x10 bedroom off the great room in front of my present bedroom for my grandson, other than that no rearranging is neccassary.

[@SandcastleDreams]

I disagree! More than likely the person that had it, planned on doing a lot of canning and stuff and figured that there would be a large porch as "the livingroom". Probably intended on a huge garden. Livingrooms aren't all they are made out to be unless you have company coming over.

[@TheREALOC1972]

@@SandcastleDreams Maybe but where are you going to store all the goods you canned? Not in the Tiny house..... You can disagree all you want but I've lived tiny for the last 5 and half year plus I do a podcast dedicated to tiny living and homesteading, and the #1 thing that kills most tiny house/homestead livers dream is Mental Fatigue from not being able to relax at the end of a hard day, You need suitable room for that, your NOT going to be able to relax in that small space like that without feeling like the walls are closing in on you.

In the case of the blue building, it was priced at just over $9,000. Knew they are around $19,000. This gives you an idea. The prices vary building to building based on age and condition.
