TUFF SHED converted into an Attractive TINY House | FULL Walk through!!

[@FearlessRambler]

Howdy everyone, welcome to this tour of our Bunkhouse.

[@jojoberrypie6580]

I’d be so grateful for a cabin like that. Really nice.

[@FearlessRambler]

Thnk you for the comment

[@joeg9478]

Excellent job! In regards to the loft bedroom, I would cut a couple of inches off the legs of the bed so that when you sit on the bed your head doesn't hit the ceiling. Thanks for the video.

[@FearlessRambler]

Great idea!

[@luv2travel2000]

Yes. I was going to post that but you beat me to it.

[@laragreene8328]

lol...going to the bathroom in winter time or late at night!!!! Yep you need a porta potty for inside!!! Otherwise,not bad! Ive been thinking of maybe buy two sheds and connect them. Small gets smaller the longer you live there.

[@FearlessRambler]

so true

[@TimothyBarber-xp3yv]

Grandpa would be proud of that cabin. Well done. It got us talking about using a shed to make a guest room out of.

[@FearlessRambler]

Yap, build to his heart for sure

[@wanderlust62]

Love it! Maybe a mudroom for shoes, jacket, pantry with back door to bathroom.

[@FearlessRambler]

good ideas

[@susanstebbins8552]

Add storage space under the stairs with built ins..maybe even build in drawers in the stairs.

[@FearlessRambler]

That a great idea and a project that I need to do.

[@yrevet]

Super nice. Could always cut your bed shorter for more headroom. Sounds like ya need a RV portable potty for middle of the night 🎉😅

[@FearlessRambler]

yes, but we use the under the bed for storage.

[@juliejacobs6070]

Nice. Suggestion... maybe cut the bed legs down a bit so full upright sitting is possible or maybe put plastic sliding container drawers under bed for extra storage!

[@FearlessRambler]

we use the plastic containers, and yes a shorter bed might give us a couple of inches.

[@BamaNola]

I love the little kitchen enough room for a single person or two

[@FearlessRambler]

Yap, it's a week end glamping bunk house mostly for me and Terri. Have a great day.

[@BamaNola]

Awesome little couch

[@FearlessRambler]

It was a good find and fits well.

[@JennyCoyote]

Cool! Great job! 👍 If it were me, I’d trim a few inches off the legs of that Ikea bed for head clearance. Could even just slip a piece of cardboard under the leg (to catch sawdust) and do each leg right in place with a fine-toothed hand saw. Wouldn’t even have to hassle with getting it on and off the loft that way. Thanks for video - hope you all are enjoying the place after your hard work.

[@FearlessRambler]

Thnx for your comments and Idea, we are enjoying it and next spring time to build a tool/solar shed. Have a great day.

[@princook]

Stairs need a safety rail on the wall.

[@FearlessRambler]

They are there, don't know if the angle we are showing you can see them. Thnx for the concern

[@simplymejourney998]

Your cabin is very nice.

[@FearlessRambler]

Thnx for such a nice comment, joining in and watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@bixelstix96]

7:05 Michael showing off his TV when he has a dinner party at his condo lol

[@FearlessRambler]

LOL

[@le_th_]

Nice cabin.

[@FearlessRambler]

We agree! thnx

[@debbykellis1122]

I like the window, large enough to be called an egress. so many lofts lack this.

[@FearlessRambler]

We made sure it was big enough for an egress. Something I designed into the shed. A must. Thanks for the comment and have a great day.

[@bethlajaunie5177]

Absolutely beautiful. Great job.

[@FearlessRambler]

Thank you for such a nice comment. Have a great day!!!!

Thnks

[@TheREALOC1972]

I couldn't do a bunkhouse. I spent 21 years in the Army jumping out of Planes and Helicopters and my knees won't let me climb those stairs. We already owned our 8 acres of land here in Northern New Mexico and we live in ours full time, when we built ours we used a known footprint for ours, We took the front half of our 1200 sq feet house, which was 18x26 (468 sq feet) and used the same footprint, what was our 18x18 master bedroom became our "Great Room", our bathroom was and still is 6x8 and what was our 12x8 spare bedroom is now our bedroom. When we first started talking about doing this were looking and looking and looking at sheds, prefabs and all that then one day it hit me so I said down and rough sketch it out on grid paper using 1 square as 1 square feet. once I took out all the closets we had more than enough room. so that's what we built.

[@aquileggleston84]

I enjoyed watching both of your videos😊

[@FearlessRambler]

Thanks so much 😊

[@susanstebbins8552]

Going out to that outhouse in the muddle of the night or winter is going to be a bummer! Add a camp or compost toilet inside for those needs!

[@FearlessRambler]

That could work

[@jlowe181]

Where did get the couch? I like that

[@FearlessRambler]

American Furniture Warehouse in Colorado Springs. We had it shipped to Utah. Have a great dsy.

[@Andbygrace7024]

Appreciate the clever bathroom....

[@FearlessRambler]

Thnx, it was fun to build. Have a great day

[@2wise4u2]

Nice video. I agree that you should cut the legs off that bed. Will the county allow you to connect the house and bathroom with an enclosed walkway?

[@FearlessRambler]

Yap a shorter bed, and the bathroom has to be on a trailer and movable, so we cant connect. Next time I get some off grid property, I will check more about the bathroom rules in the county. Have a great day.

[@LeeBaysinger-u8y]

Thinking they could not protest a temporary hallway out of clear roof panneling...

[@inspirationwithcodi8511]

Beautiful love everything about it!❤❤

[@FearlessRambler]

Thank you so much!! Have a great day.

[@danielax2350]

If your shed is permanent on that property, why the bathroom separated from shed?

[@FearlessRambler]

The covenants say any building under 600 sqft can not have a bathroom inside, but can have 2 on trailers hook up to septic and water. Each one requires a land uses permit.

[@susanstebbins8552]

Wouldnt that "wardrobe" be better suited as a food pantry? Build in some clothing closets up in the loft at each side of the head of the bed floor to ceiling for his & hers.. Like what you see in campers.

[@le_th_]

Hard no on carrying clothing up and down those stairs, plus bringing dirty clothes up and down. Those are steps, not true stairs. You might want to take another look at that loft again. There hardly any space on either side of the bed, and you don't want it in front of the bed, where it will block airflow.

[@FearlessRambler]

Yap there can be many usages for that wardrobe

[@Destination_Fun]

The looks so awesome!! I loved how it turned out!!

[@FearlessRambler]

Thank you, a fun project for sure. Have a great day

[@BamaNola]

Ready to see the Bunkhouse

[@joesixpac8710]

Nice job!

[@FearlessRambler]

Thnx for the nice comment. Have a wonderful day.

[@CONTAINERMAN68]

Outhouse outside the house! So, there is no bathroom inside if you're under 200 square feet? Why not buy a bigger shed?

[@FearlessRambler]

After 200sqft, you need to get a building permit and requires a lot of inspection. Under 200 sqft base, you only require a land use permit. A inside bathroom requires 600 sqft.

[@DearMariahIV]

Love the red door.... can I paint it black?

[@FearlessRambler]

The door was only primed white when it was installed, we painted red after the fact. Don't know what Tuff shed color schemes are, Have a great day

[@okaycola2]

I see a red door & I want it painted blaaaaack. No colors anymore, I want them to turn back!

[@EnriqueLuis68]

That tv is way too small for me lol. Also I would have to put up a tent walkway from the side of the house to the bathroom for those cold and rainy nights.

[@FearlessRambler]

So true about the TV, we went with the 12volt 24 inch. It also has a built in 12V DVD player. We don't watch a lot of videos but more time on the computer and KZbin. I do plan to build a covered walkway to the bathroom. Maybe next season. Have a great day

[@BamaNola]

You done a great job on building the bunkhouse

[@FearlessRambler]

Thnx BAMA. HHave a wonderful day.

[@CarnivalCruiseAddicts]

Just incredible work!

[@FearlessRambler]

[@RaeFaeM]

Enchanting and inspiring ✨ I love your cabin 💚🛖🌲 I have aspirations for diy creations such as this 📐⚒️ Where did y'all get the lights and ceiling fan? 6:24 💡 6:40 🪭 Also, I love how y'all came up with creative ideas for the portable bathroom due to county regulations. This gives more ideas for my future builds. I love that it's on wheels and movable. I may need to do something similar. What size is the trailer? 8:40 🚽🛞 Blessed be 🌈

Nice little table

[@EddieOrosco-y6m]

Cool😊

[@FearlessRambler]

Glad you likes it

[@pedrozatravel]

Wow, that is pretty awesome. I would probably sit up in the middle of the night and bump my head, but that is minor. That was amazing work!

[@FearlessRambler]

Yap. Don't stand up or sit up in bed to quickly. Thanx for watching

[@Yvetteabby]

Great build you have made . Do you have a mini split for heating and cooling ?

[@FearlessRambler]

Only a heater, up at 8K feet, it doesn't get to warm out side, so no cooling.

[@lynnmessier8717]

Where is the toilet,do they use an outhouse?

[@mel2000]

The video made it clear that he used an outhouse.

[@FearlessRambler]

It might be an out house, but it is a flush toilet with running water and a hot shower.

[@danclark4998]

Nicely done!!! What size is the downstairs area?

[@FearlessRambler]

around 200 sq ft and the loft is around 100 sq ft

[@danclark4998]

Ok thanks…sounds like it’s about a 12x16 or 14x14?

[@FearlessRambler]

12 x 16

[@dwandascott3947]

It would be nice to know the know more about the small size appliances brands and where were purchased. So couldn’t you build a vented breezeway or overhead covering to the bathroom.

[@FearlessRambler]

Thats a great idea, I have thought about a covered walkway to the bathroom, thnx for the great idea.

[@Acavando]

You're insane running DC...

[@FearlessRambler]

Yap, the question should be why 12 V and not 24 or 48. Solar is the only thing I could do up there. I have both 120V (inverter) and 12V in the cabin. Have a great day.

[@pacificzuma111]

What do you about a foundation? They have that metal foundation - did you use that or pour concrete? We want to use a Tuffshed as a room addition.

[@FearlessRambler]

They suggest to use a concrete slab but due to our location in the mountains we did 12" of crushed rock which seems to work great

[@pacificzuma111]

@@FearlessRambler TY. We have a concrete slab but want the shed to be higher from the ground by 6" or so. Do you think it's better to use their metal base or add concrete?

[@simplisticvitality2359]

Stove install video?

[@FearlessRambler]

I would love to do a stove install vid, thanx for a great idea. Wont be able to start till snow melt in April, but I will do one, Have a great day.

[@Fulrix00]

It’s great but no restroom??

[@FearlessRambler]

Yap the bathroom out back, not in the shed.

[@pellapaigeaah7579]

What was the total finished cost btw? 🤔

[@FearlessRambler]

The shed with everything in it around 18K, the water, road and septic was another 8K.

[@pellapaigeaah7579]

@FearlessRambler ahhh ok I see, thanks

[@marywalker2896]

Why don’t the stairs have a wall railing? For safety!!!

[@FearlessRambler]

Yap, just a place to grab when needed

[@gordonmabey6978]

This is exactly what Id like to do on my property in Utah. Do you have a rough cost estimate for everything?

[@FearlessRambler]

Here some ruff estimates, the property was 21K, the shed was around 13K, but prices have gone up. The septic and road was 5K. The frig was $300. The cabinets were around 1.2K. The flooring around $200. The solar was around 2K. The furniture was around $1K. The dry wall and trim about $1K. The time was endless. Hope this helps out.

[@NicoleMangan-z9o]

I'd like to get links and to know the cost to finish everything

[@FearlessRambler]

The building, finishing, septic ,water and road was around 25K

[@Strawberry.Letter23]

May I ask why the cabin is painted black and red? I noticed a lot of people are doing this. Is there a reason for it other than style?

[@FearlessRambler]

It is really a dark green. The red I think my wife has watched too many HGTV shows on how to decorate. Thnx for the comment and have a great day.

[@danaalanaarynndonald8253]

Hello great house Where did you buy the couch?

[@FearlessRambler]

American Furniture Warehouse in Colorado Springs, CO. It is a national chain. www.afw.com/ Hope this helps out. Have a great day.

[@YlvaBjarnson]

Where's the bathroom😮

[@FearlessRambler]

its at the 08:17 The Tiny House Bathroom. It explains why its not in the shed. Thnx for watching, have a great day.

[@Alemaniaturquia]

Place a runway. From the bathroom to the house. With a door.

[@FearlessRambler]

@@Alemaniaturquia Yes great Idea, just hook it up on the side of the cabin. Have a great day.

[@mel2000]

What is the reasoning behind not allowing a bathroom inside of a tiny house with minimal dimensions?

[@FearlessRambler]

I cant figure it out, they allow for the trailer with a bathroom (matter of fact I can have 2 bathrooms), but under 600 sqft, I cant put inside. I don't see the differents, but I am thinking they don't want people living in tiny homes.

[@BamaNola]

Hey Fearless Rambler

[@avondalemama470]

Where’s the bathroom? Outhouse?

[@FearlessRambler]

Thnx for the comment. Look at 08:17 The Tiny House Bathroom and try this vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKfFdouGmr12fLc Off-Grid Bathroom Build: Starting DIY on an Utility Trailer | Part 1. We have hot water, shower and a flush toilet, everything you might want for glamping. Have a great day.

[@avondalemama470]

@@FearlessRambler Oops, I missed it. 🤔 Thanks for letting me know. 😀

[@ShariCupples]

No, tiny homes were not meant for living in. They were meant for vacation homes, sort of like cabins. They were easier to maintain and keep clean.

[@FearlessRambler]

For us that is true, its a weekender that we glamp in. Have a great day

[@dianastenson4881]

Did I miss the bathroom?

[@dianastenson4881]

That’s odd having it separate 😮

[@FearlessRambler]

Is separate do to the County Regulations. Have a land use permit to build, they don't allow any Bathroom in a dwelling under 600 sq ft. My shed home is about 300 sq ft. They do allow two trailers on the property and a bathroom can be in a trailer. That's why it out back. Stupid law, they did have me put in a septic for a three bathroom cabin before I got the land use permit. It works and a full 3/4 bath. Just a little chilly sometime heading to it.

[@GGMCreates]

Lol, how to tell they don't want you to actually build. Way overrequire the infrastructure, and try to make it less comfy for the necessities. ​@@FearlessRambler

[@katherineking3174]

BATHROOM???

[@FearlessRambler]

Out back

[@arlindojunior4671]

Olha,uma escada retrátil ficaria bem melhor,ocupa menos espaço. Um fraterno abraço aqui do 🇧🇷 p vc. 👋

[@FearlessRambler]

Uma escada teria sido boa e ocuparia menos espaço com certeza, mas minha esposa queria escadas para subir para a cama, então ela conseguiu o que queria. Obrigado pelo bom comentário e sugestão. Tenha um ótimo dia.

[@argononeya4406]

Nice job. Recommend losing the carpet in the loft and putting down Tatami mats and going with a roll-up futon for better space. The tatami mats are the key to futon comfort.

[@FearlessRambler]

good idea

[@70qq]

🤘

[@donovanbourbon9562]

It's not a full house without an inside bathroom/toilet, bummer. Otherwise it's nice.

[@FearlessRambler]

I agree, this was not a full build, but I hope you found it interesting. But of course the taxes also reflects it not a true cabin. So some good things, Thnx for the comment Have a great day.

[@kathydean6097]

Why put a ladder in there? As you get older, you are not going to use it.😢

[@FearlessRambler]

Its a half ladder/ stairs. Limited space was a factor. Now when I get too old to climb ladders, and walk up the steep hills, it time to sell and by a condo in Florida and just go on cruises, thanx for the fun comment and have a nice day.

[@focusonarterrands7124]

Nice job! Just do not care for bathroom building. Why on earth would you make the bathroom so far from the front door? Why not add it to the house?

[@FearlessRambler]

County didnt allow me to put in the bunkhouse, and where I put had the septic ans water.

[@StaceNyourFace]

He talked about why in the video.

[@melw2100]

The ceings are 8 foot and in the kitchen area they are 15 feet. But that loft is a little tight at 4 feet.
