These interest rates are unbelievable. The 12x32 lofted porch cabin listed at $12,490, at the 8 minute mark. At $462 for 60 months, comes out to over $27,720. You're buying this shed twice in that period.
@@natew2610 I did some math, that's a 37.32% interest rate, that's title loan territory, otherwise known as predatory lending. Not how typical loans work. My guess is the place that sells these is financing customers themselves.
@@wickedkustumz The total interest percentage is often much higher than the interest rate or APR on the loan. I nearly took a mortgage on a manufactured home when I was in my 20's until I realized that I'd end up paying double the financed amount by the end of the term.
@@natew2610 Yes, because that's a predatory lending practice on manufactured housing, it has been well documented. Actual, real, traditional, non predatory loans will never, ever put your total amount paid as double or more the amount of the original purchase price.
This book is awesome! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- It has loads of pictures and videos, and it shows you everything you need to know about tiny homes. It covers all the basics of a house, from plumbing to electricity. It also has some cool floor plans of some of the most popular tiny homes out there. I had a blast reading this book and learning so much. The only thing that bugged me was that the description said it had floor plans, but it didn't say how few there were.
@jesse it is for transport but also helps with snow load and structural soundness. 40 ft is a long span. If they need it for transport, I’d want to keep it in or beef it up elsewhere.
@@Notarobot310 we had our shed moved a little over a hundred miles without the center loft thingy magig and our house never budged in or out. I guess we were lucky.
That lil bitty cabin shed would be perfect hooked up next to one of the bigger sheds...I'd make a nice big bathroom out of it with a BIG standup shower and a HUGE soaking tub...lol
I would think that the "loft" in the middle is probably for stability and reinforcing in the middle, not just for transport, but all round, including better roof support.
Goodness! My husband and I bought a 16X40 in late 2018 for $12 grand. Hired someone to finish it out, for an additional $20 grand. Initially, it was going to be a temporary home. We sold our old house, paid off our land, and sat on the rest to build a new house. Right when covid hit. We're still saving, and adding to our account monthly, but house building costs have gone thru the roof! We've talked about the possibility that we might live in our little place the rest of our lives. We are ok with that. It isn't the greatest arrangement, but we're content enough to make it work.
This is the Future of rental homes in America. It's also tha answer to homeless. I just finished a 6th one on My land in Texas. I hope to have 25 when I'm done, all rentals. With a little work they make nice affordable homes. Instead of people putting $3000 down on an Apt, They are waiting in line to become part of what I am creating. This is a great business and solution to unaffordable housing.
12x32 loft barn style, on a roof as the weight pushes down the outside walls want to push out. A truss style roof is engineered as a series of triangles to counteract the outward force, a gable roof or a gambrel (barn) roof must have rafters of a series of collar ties to counteract the outward force. The other way is to have a large load bearing ridge to carry the 1/2 the load weight of the entire roof system. The plywood on the loft section also acts as a shear panel to counteract the twisting action of the building. On truss roofs no 2x4s can be removed or cut, the truss is designed as a unit, every piece of wood and the nail plates are designed to work together.
I liked the angled windows with the larger front porch, I personally like lots of windows. The metal shed was kinda interesting..thank you for taking us on this trip thru shedland, gives you ideas and things to think about 👍😁
Actually Jared the one with the wrap around porch makes more sense, that porch itself is priceless plus there are plenty of ways to get rid of the odor & you definitely could make it work for you imo
the repo shed for $7,500 reminded me of the last 1 Jason and you worked on at the last property Jason had. My favourite was the metal barn 1 though. Stay safe
Jared, I think you should get the tree house for the goats! They would love it!!! All it needs is a better set of steps instead of a ladder!! Excited to see your home when you get it AND when it’s finished! Thanks for the shed tour!! 💜
Kind of unfortunate that we cannot do that in Tennessee. They will not recognize any shed conversions to a house as a legal building structure that you can live in.
I think shed are weird but im looking for a place i can live on that is mlre affordable becauae i migjt not be there that much but i want to gave the spot to be able to stay. So im thinking about a shed type.cabin thing a little smaller than this but what im going to do os is finosh the inside higher quality so it only feels like a shed from the outside.
Jared, your home is going to be just what you want! Your happy and ready to get building! can't wait to see your place on the SDR property! have a great night.
I really liked the one with the flooring and insulation. That would make the perfect tiny home for me and my chihuahua. But just dreaming. Being homeless is hard and a tiny home would make a me feel like a queen living in their own tiny palace...PEACE
Hiya Jared! Boy howdy, prices on sheds sure went up! The only two things that crossed my mind was #1)..Black attracts heat ! I sure as heck wouldn't have a black roof or black as the primary color on my home living where you are. It'd be great for the trim color and for outdoor uses. And yes, I think black is a great color for many different uses! I grew up in Central Nebraska and l know how intense the heat gets out there! #2)..Metal buildings in a hail storm?!? LmAo.....NOT!! But....it is YOUR home...not mine...not anyone elses' so make it YOURS!! And promise me you will enjoy it ,make some great memories and just be happy as H-E-DOUBLE-TOOTHPICKS, ok?!? 💜💙💜
We bought our cabin as a repo but it was never actually bought. It was a display on another lot they acquired. It is a 12x32 barn styled cabin with 3 lofts. We took out the center loft because it just didnt make sense. We paid $7900 for it. We have finished it out with a kitchen, living room, a 7.5x12 ft bedroom and one loft is finished as a bedroom. The second loft is storage, the kayaks had to go somewhere...lol We bought lake lots with electric already there so I wired the whole place myself. I had to have my friend come help hook me up to the meter though. I wasnt brave enough for that one.
I know of a way to eliminate the drop support in the middle of the longer shed's and be able to reuse the same lumber but add more height to the center of it. Anyone with some knowledge of construction can pick up on what I'm sayin. Hopefully I'll be startin my own build from scratch this year. Maybe I'll start my own UA-cam channel... Lol
I like the last one especially the color. On that note, I'm just wondering what happened if buy 2 small size like the last one and put next to each other or put it together in "L" shape, make a door to connect it, use 1 for a bedroom, closet and bath room. The other one for kitchen, living room with a pull out sofa for a guest and a guest bath room. If I have a land now, that's what I would do. Just a thought at this moment...
Love the last one, I like the 2 windows on each side. I also like the 2 tone colors , on the outside. Good prices on some of the repo ones! Ty subbed! Looking to get out of Connecticut. On disability, with a Brain Injury. I need a small place , Organized space. Where things ,go back, In the same place! It's really hard to have a BIG home alone in the most expensive state, in USA . I'M without family, and, my fiance passed to SARS Covid-1 in early 2020. My mom then passed 2021, of Cancer. Most of mysmall inhertence, was spent on catching up, on ALL the bills, After losing my fiance. He was only 48, he didn't yet ,Have a death plan, in place. These tiny homes, ARE the only way, I can see ppl like myself ( Disability & Retired) We live, on1 ck a month. A Tiny home can allow us to live a life w/ dignity, And,not have to go without essentials ,SO often. ♡
the "loft:" in the center isn't needed for being a loft, but for giving support of lateral loads on the roof pressing down that can blow out the side walls. the further the span the greater the need for support and yes there is an alternative method.
Wow some are really nice.Jared i cant wait to see your build.I loved your place in Texas.You dont live in a house,You make look like a home.So comfy.Miss seeing your place in texas.Take Care!!🙏♥☕
I loved all of them....not the stinky ones but the rest were really nice. Might have to look into one of those sheds.......Thanks for the shed tours and inspiration Jared.
They’re for support to keep the walls from separating. It could be done differently but from what I know, doing it this way is a good way to preserve ceiling height in the rest of the building.
Most other dealers I've seen only do the front and back. First time seeing it done this way and I've been in probably 100 sheds haha. I assumed for structure and transport.
I looked at a few of these, and always thought the center small loft would be handy in case you wanted two sleeping spaces up above at either end, and the small center "loft" would be good for a little storage.
I definitely like the front porches. I like to sit outside in the morning and evenings. Storage over top them is a bonus. I really like the sheds. Wondering what it would cost to finish the last one as a home. The tiny play house could be a micro tiny house.
Some of these types sheds would make a great outbuilding/guest house or extension to your tiny house in the future - worth watching to see if you can get one for cheap if it pops up.
I have a 12x32 shed with dual lofts and I don't like that the entry doors are so short. This is a tradeoff of the lofted barn style. If I was to purchase another shed to be used as a home, I would do an un-lofted standard style where the doors and walls are normal height. Can't go wrong either way, just my 2 cents being an owner.
So the First Building I agree. I'm against porches. You end up paying for wasted space. 16 on center you pay for all the extra wood. I like 24 on center personally. Supports there. It's only 12 foot wide. If it was a real house yeah 16 on center makes sense because you typically have a 2nd floor that needs the support for all the furniture and goodies. Repo sheds have the cost cut
I think maybe the last one ! It's smaller than your last, but has plenty of room, nice lighting and the price seems the best for what you are getting. Just my opinion. Thanks for taking us on a tour. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.
I used to install these for Home Depot, as a subcontractor. The lofts are just an option to have, and place wherever you like. A lot of the ones with lofts the shed is being used for in multiple uses, like storage to save money from having to rent a space at a storage unit and then some type of home based business, and now some people for a tiny home. A Survival Shelter and cache of survival food for your family that can be tucked away on a remote property. Etc Some use as a hunting cabin. You can even take measurements of whatever one you like and purchase lumber/ building materials over time and DIY. You can add or subtract options you like or dislike customizing it to your needs. Two just starting out young couples that may have their first child or expecting can live together comfortably and save up their money this way, and eventually be able to split if so desired so that each couple will have built, bought their homes, and be debt free.
Amazing how stuff cost like you said! Go back 40 years are so houses cost less than half what they cost now! Tornado/Hurricane come through , astronomical repair cost too! Thank you American Greed! The Middle class family is being snuffed out! Living off the grid is starting to look better & better!?
I wound use the center loft for storage. Have cubby type shelving on the outside that's about fifteen inches deep on front and back sides. Have the backside with an opening and removable ladder to store things on the inside. Maybe seasonal clothes, snowboards. In the outer cubby shelving you can showcase baskets, books, glassware or whatever you want. That's what I would use it for.
Great video. I loved all the options. I truly think that I would add my own deck at a later time and get as much square footage as possible. Is your house going to come bare studs as well. It seems that it would be fairly easy to put in larger windows if you wanted, replace a header or two and have to come up with your own trim. It is nice to see you excited/happy about the build! Thanks for sharing.
I think those midsection "lofts" are primarily for structural strength, to prevent "bowing" of the longtitudinal structures. On no account remove those extra mid-section width beams. You would definitely regret it. Of course, you could box them in and use them for real lofts.
Derksen sheds normally have 8' lofts in them I'm told, and I believe the 4' loft in the center of the ones you videoed is for transport, then moved to one end or the other to complete a loft. Alot of the sheds have center bracing for transport, you just normally don't see the 2×4's holding the walls together for transport. Other than that, I prefer the side lofted cabin in the Derksen, with the porch in the middle. Some day I'll invite ya'll out...Love what you're doing ❤️
Yeah I assumed for transport reasoning. Most sheds I've been in just have them on the front and back. This was a first for me and I've been in 100s of sheds like these haha
@@JudiVentress it does on most of the sheds. It acts as the bracing normally placed in the center because of flexing. They just slide the section usually to one end or the other when the shed is delivered.
Things to be aware of with Derksen Their measurements are based on the roof lines and not the walls. Smaller by almost a foot than normal exterior measurements. The single pane windows will sweat like crazy and not very efficient long term. The windows may not be properly sashed and will need sealed (daylight visible). The bottom and top plates are not sealed and let in air and creatures (daylight visible between plates). Check their exterior work for nail depth in siding which can void warranty and need to be resealed. Metal roofs need the foam to seal the ridges and edges. Keeps bugs out and weather tight.
I really liked the last one you showed. The outside of it was adorable, but I'm a big fan of gray and white together, I think it complements any kind of house. What do ppl do with these sheds, do they make them in to tiny homes? If so you would definitely have to know, or be a carpenter,and know a plumber, and an electrician. Seems like all that would get pretty pricey. Thank you for showing the video's:)
You can find these people with knowledge of plumbing electrical work roofing so on, at church, through kids teachers, neighbors and their associates. Meet them and sooner or later have a barbecue or some sort of associating party and invite them and pick their brains.PS get their cards when you first meet them. Older couple I met been doing it for years 😎
We have a 14x36 barn style we enclosed our porch put our bathroom in it and put double door in the side for our front door we been in it for about 10 years
From a construction standpoint and for structural reasons, as well as shipping, then center ceiling joists could be for these purposes, as you have show. Collar ties on the upper rafters going from the bend or slope at the gambrel or barn configuration, in my opinion should also be installed. This allow insulation across this point for an upper ceiling and proper structural integrity. Then Foam insulation board could be install in the lower portions of the rafters down to the double top plate and a stop of 1x2 framing for flush mounting of the insulation board to the lower rafters. This application allows proper air flow to the upper part of the ceiling above the collar ties. Without convection throughout the roof moisture, mold as well as condensation can form. If someone is going to make a domicile out of one of these buildings then it is recommended that a full ridge vent also be installed. Also, if a loft is desired then ceiling joists on 16" centers should be constructed to the desired space applicable. Bridging should also be installed in 2 rows equally or in thirds of the span to increase the load requirements for what ever is placed on the loft to eliminate future shear pressure issues. If one was to order one of these buildings to live in, I would also recommend Tyvek exterior infiltration wrap or vapor barrier be applied before the siding is installed on the outside of the sub-straight or plywood. If this, along with the recommended extra collar ties and ceiling joists, one of these buildings would heat efficiently without to much of a BTU heating source. .
I think 💭 that itwas so nice 👍 of you to share your experience and your knowledge of construction work to help these people out so they know what they are getting into turning this barn or storage shed in to a tiny house 🏡 because there is a lot more to it to make it a safe and healthy place to live in
@@FoodNTravel1234 yea, told her it would be good size for her and it's a good maker. It has a tankless water heater in it and all the electrical and plumbing run with the bathroom in, just needs to be insulated and drywall put up.

The center “loft” is for support for the walls in the center of the building. Keeps the walls from bulging out or in.
If a shed is 12x40 would you need the 4 foot loft in the middle for support or not.
We bought one without. In your opinion...good or bad?
@@kansasmisfit7404 the center boards (to my understanding) are for transport. Helps keep the building secure in transit.

You're right about why the center loft, however if a ridge was added it would transfer the load.

If only the repo sheds could talk! I would love to know their stories!😂😂
Went into one today and eeewww it was like the building he was gagging in 😩🤮

I *love* shed-to-house remodels. I had one of these on my 16 acre property I was attempting to bring to life. So much vision! 🤩
Maybe the weird middle loft was the beginning stages of making an “upstairs” bedroom🤷🏻♀️

Jared, when you were gagging, I kept telling you to get out of there. Lol
Thanks for sharing.
Those things have got expensive. My buddy bought a brand new 12 ×30 barn style for $5000 about 7 years ago
Some of these types sheds would make a great outbuilding/guest house or extension to your tiny house in the future - worth watching to see if you can get one for cheap if it pops up.
For killing mold and getting rid of stink, use an ozone generator. We ran one for 72 hrs at one clean up, and it worked great.
Thanks Jared. Nice job!! "Stumbled" upon your channel. Subscribed. Going to look for more episodes!!
I have a 12x32 shed with dual lofts and I don't like that the entry doors are so short. This is a tradeoff of the lofted barn style. If I was to purchase another shed to be used as a home, I would do an un-lofted standard style where the doors and walls are normal height. Can't go wrong either way, just my 2 cents being an owner.
Interesting. I'm 5'3", so it miight not bother me but still good to know. 👍🏽
So the First Building I agree. I'm against porches. You end up paying for wasted space. 16 on center you pay for all the extra wood. I like 24 on center personally. Supports there. It's only 12 foot wide. If it was a real house yeah 16 on center makes sense because you typically have a 2nd floor that needs the support for all the furniture and goodies. Repo sheds have the cost cut
Love 💕 the video thanks 🙏 for sharing ShootDang love 💕 from Ohio Irene and god bless
I think maybe the last one ! It's smaller than your last, but has plenty of room, nice lighting and the price seems the best for what you are getting.
Just my opinion. Thanks for taking us on a tour. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.
The barn one was my fav. I liked the metal outside one too.
I used to install these for Home Depot, as a subcontractor. The lofts are just an option to have, and place wherever you like. A lot of the ones with lofts the shed is being used for in multiple uses, like storage to save money from having to rent a space at a storage unit and then some type of home based business, and now some people for a tiny home. A Survival Shelter and cache of survival food for your family that can be tucked away on a remote property. Etc
Some use as a hunting cabin. You can even take measurements of whatever one you like and purchase lumber/ building materials over time and DIY. You can add or subtract options you like or dislike customizing it to your needs. Two just starting out young couples that may have their first child or expecting can live together comfortably and save up their money this way, and eventually be able to split if so desired so that each couple will have built, bought their homes, and be debt free.
You’ll find just what you want, it’s good to look around
Amazing how stuff cost like you said!
Go back 40 years are so houses cost less than half what they cost now! Tornado/Hurricane come through , astronomical repair cost too!
Thank you American Greed!
The Middle class family is being snuffed out! Living off the grid is starting to look better & better!?
I wound use the center loft for storage. Have cubby type shelving on the outside that's about fifteen inches deep on front and back sides. Have the backside with an opening and removable ladder to store things on the inside. Maybe seasonal clothes, snowboards. In the outer cubby shelving you can showcase baskets, books, glassware or whatever you want. That's what I would use it for.
Love the cubby type shelving idea, thanks!
I enjoyed seeing all the different sheds. I love the cabin style. A bigger porch would be my pick.
I liked that tiny playhouse. It was cute.
I live in a 12x20 side lofted barn from affordable buildings. Very well built.
My favorite was the large wooden barn...it seems it would be easier to add windows to instead of the metal. I would have to have a LOT more windows!!
Great video. I loved all the options. I truly think that I would add my own deck at a later time and get as much square footage as possible. Is your house going to come bare studs as well. It seems that it would be fairly easy to put in larger windows if you wanted, replace a header or two and have to come up with your own trim. It is nice to see you excited/happy about the build! Thanks for sharing.
I Really Like The Last One Thank You For The thank Tour Sir.I Really Appreciate It!!!
I can definitely see me living in one of those wooden shed / Homes. 😻🌺
I think those midsection "lofts" are primarily for structural strength, to prevent "bowing" of the longtitudinal structures. On no account remove those extra mid-section width beams. You would definitely regret it. Of course, you could box them in and use them for real lofts.
Derksen sheds normally have 8' lofts in them I'm told, and I believe the 4' loft in the center of the ones you videoed is for transport, then moved to one end or the other to complete a loft. Alot of the sheds have center bracing for transport, you just normally don't see the 2×4's holding the walls together for transport. Other than that, I prefer the side lofted cabin in the Derksen, with the porch in the middle. Some day I'll invite ya'll out...Love what you're doing ❤️
Yeah I assumed for transport reasoning. Most sheds I've been in just have them on the front and back. This was a first for me and I've been in 100s of sheds like these haha
@@South_Texas_Roots You're the man! I wish you everything in life, and I'll be following your adventure.
What do you mean by "transport"? Does the center loft actually move?? Thx
@@JudiVentress it does on most of the sheds. It acts as the bracing normally placed in the center because of flexing. They just slide the section usually to one end or the other when the shed is delivered.
I would use the lofts middle and ends for sleeping arrangements or storage ,it has heaps of room inside good price as well love them all.
Love that video and I like the first one u showed!! With the front porch!!
The playpen would have been great for goats too! It's my favorite building.
Was very interesting. Not too sure if I’d take on the one with ‘goat’ droppings, lol. Take care and Peace back at ‘ya!
Things to be aware of with Derksen
Their measurements are based on the roof lines and not the walls. Smaller by almost a foot than normal exterior measurements. The single pane windows will sweat like crazy and not very efficient long term. The windows may not be properly sashed and will need sealed (daylight visible). The bottom and top plates are not sealed and let in air and creatures (daylight visible between plates). Check their exterior work for nail depth in siding which can void warranty and need to be resealed. Metal roofs need the foam to seal the ridges and edges. Keeps bugs out and weather tight.
Lol you do know I lived in a derksen shed for the last 5 years with no issues right?
@@South_Texas_Roots I didnt say dont buy however, check their work. Don't assume every Derksen outlet experience is the same.
I appreciated the hints for things to look out/prepare for.
I'm enjoying your adventures. keep up being real, it's inspiring
Thank you for the info. I just wish I knew how to do a lot of construction work. I want to do this in my backyard 😎
I really liked the last one you showed. The outside of it was adorable, but I'm a big fan of gray and white together, I think it complements any kind of house. What do ppl do with these sheds, do they make them in to tiny homes? If so you would definitely have to know, or be a carpenter,and know a plumber, and an electrician. Seems like all that would get pretty pricey. Thank you for showing the video's:)
You can find these people with knowledge of plumbing electrical work roofing so on, at church, through kids teachers, neighbors and their associates. Meet them and sooner or later have a barbecue or some sort of associating party and invite them and pick their brains.PS get their cards when you first meet them. Older couple I met been doing it for years 😎
The really small one could be an efficiency. Everything in one room, I've seen them in Florida going for a lot for rent too🥴
We have a 14x36 barn style we enclosed our porch put our bathroom in it and put double door in the side for our front door we been in it for about 10 years
The last one was my favorite lots of light flow
8:25; if you remove those joists, you will need to put at least one beefy joist in their place to keep the wall/truss strong.
From a construction standpoint and for structural reasons, as well as shipping, then center ceiling joists could be for these purposes, as you have show. Collar ties on the upper rafters going from the bend or slope at the gambrel or barn configuration, in my opinion should also be installed. This allow insulation across this point for an upper ceiling and proper structural integrity. Then Foam insulation board could be install in the lower portions of the rafters down to the double top plate and a stop of 1x2 framing for flush mounting of the insulation board to the lower rafters. This application allows proper air flow to the upper part of the ceiling above the collar ties. Without convection throughout the roof moisture, mold as well as condensation can form. If someone is going to make a domicile out of one of these buildings then it is recommended that a full ridge vent also be installed. Also, if a loft is desired then ceiling joists on 16" centers should be constructed to the desired space applicable. Bridging should also be installed in 2 rows equally or in thirds of the span to increase the load requirements for what ever is placed on the loft to eliminate future shear pressure issues. If one was to order one of these buildings to live in, I would also recommend Tyvek exterior infiltration wrap or vapor barrier be applied before the siding is installed on the outside of the sub-straight or plywood. If this, along with the recommended extra collar ties and ceiling joists, one of these buildings would heat efficiently without to much of a BTU heating source. .
I think the middle section loft would be a good spot to store all your kitchen equipment. The mixers and air fryers and whatnot.
I think 💭 that itwas so nice 👍 of you to share your experience and your knowledge of construction work to help these people out so they know what they are getting into turning this barn or storage shed in to a tiny house 🏡 because there is a lot more to it to make it a safe and healthy place to live in
Cant wait to see which one you pick! I liked the wood barn looking one-but you are so right more windows!
Oh mine has a bunch of windows and a 12ft dormer up top with 4 more window above the door like my shed to house in Texas.
@@South_Texas_Roots thats so exciting and gonna look amazing on your land!
Perfect! None of this “ hey Guyz” shit. People… yes, thank you. Only person on you tube that does not pretend to be your buddy! Thx
A friend in Texas found a shed like yours, same maker only 2 yrs old and never lived in. 16500.00. It's 12x32. Not bad price. I like these too. Thanks
Sounds like a good deal
@@FoodNTravel1234 yea, told her it would be good size for her and it's a good maker. It has a tankless water heater in it and all the electrical and plumbing run with the bathroom in, just needs to be insulated and drywall put up.
@@CaroleMinxBlanton sounds like a steal to me!
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose it's in Warren Texas and on FB if you want it. She's not going to buy it.
Thanks for the shed tour Jared!! Interesting, I wonder which one you are going to pick. I liked the last one. Have a lovely day.
My favorite one, was the last one. Had good lighting, a little small, but do able
