He bought a shed & made a luxury Tiny Home! TOUR + COSTS

[@catw6274]

States need to start changing laws around building codes. Making them okay as an ADU only helps people who already have homes. There are SO many seniors living in cars, it's shameful. Many people could be housed if they simply made these LEGAL.

I got the 10x20 one for $5500 (5% off cuz it was a repo). With a block crawl space, framing/finishing inside, and hooked into full home systems, I added 2 windows on the back wall too. it cost me about &20k. I love it.

[@slelpssinal]

I like everything he’s showed. I think the porch should be a little bit bigger so you can swing better in your swing. Also, the stove is in a weird spot to me. It’s too close to the sink while they’re so much more open space available where it could go.

[@BiBiandGiGihomesteading]

[@sherei9530]

​@@BiBiandGiGihomesteadingsize isn't the concern but placement

[@diallo6197]

I would've definitely extended the front porch out about 6 more feet. The purpose of tiny living is to enjoy and take advantage of the outside. Personally I love the tiny homes with wrap around porches.

[@MississippiHomesteadJourney]

Since it's a corner where you can't do much with, I think that the burners works okay, but it is a bit awkward. Shorter people would have trouble cooking on it without something to stand on. I wish I would have gotten a 6 or 8 foot porch on my cabin instead of a 4 foot one. The swing is WAY too big for that porch.

[@butchieblock9118]

Yes!! Take advantage of the outdoor living space. Wouldn't need roofing support, just perhaps a ramp.

[@kelly2997]

I wouldn't want the swing banging into the house, but overall, the place looks awesome!!

[@kellirogers4708]

Right! It would be nice to hang the swing from a tree.

[@ML-kx9gz]

I have a feeling he put that up just for show and it's probably not up 24/7. I agree with you and it really doesn't look that comfortable for anyone that is of average size. I would just hang it from a tree somewhere on the property. other than that it looks pretty nice, oh one other thing I didn't really like the placement of the 2 burner stove, that kind of looked funky to me. I'm sure he has some sort of technical issue for that though.

[@archangel_one]

Smart layout! Couch in front of tv, not much room needed. Prepping meals, otoh, requires tons of usable space. Wonderful!

[@judyanderson8782]

I think you could extend the porch out 4 or 5 feet by moving the railing to the eadge of the new area. Then you'd have more room to swing or sit in the sun area. Also more area for other people to sit on the.porch.

I have reached out to more people then I can think of , asking them why they’re allowing the middle class to be pushed out by the rich where I live (stupid question lol but I wanted to hear their answer. I didn’t get one!) Long story short. My husband works 2 jobs as do I. Our oldest son doesn’t live at home and our younger son is still with us. We have 2 months to find a place in a tourist town. No we did not wait until the last minute we had an agreement in January with who were going be renting to. and their landlord kept changing the date and then decided she was selling once she heard what she could get. This could literally change our lives. We have to buy an 800 sq foot house, just to keep a roof over our head- how long. Who knows if we can make the payments. I’m already saving up for an RV just in case. But I will have a very large yard, and we would love nothing more than a tiny home we can see the world with and then decide where we want to park it for good.
