    You better plug the extension cord hole with steel wool and spray foam, mice won’t chew on steel wool, also the solar like cord hole with caulk or there will be bees and all manner of creepy crawling insects.

      Attach a power strip with surge protection and USB plug built in to the wall and plug the extension cord into that. It's still not to code but he won't be moving the cord around.

    Yeah that guy is going to freeze to death 😅. You want to insulate that place and throw in some interior walls. You might have to fur out those walls to make room for the insulation. And you’re going to have to do a bit of framing for the roof because heat rises which will result in a lot of heat loss. No outside heater is going to be able to keep up with the loss of heat come winter.

      I said the same thing. When we did basically the samething for my son when he was college only ours was a little bigger we insulated it and put corrugated cardboard on the walls and put a space heater out in it because we had to do it in a hurry, that next spring we put pulled the cardboard off and put dry wall up, added a small kitchenette it in with a microwave and 9 function Airfryer and refurbed a small pot belly wood burning stove that I found on Facebook Marketplace for next to nothing to put in it so the only time he had to come into the house was use the bathroom and shower. He lived in it for all four years of college and 2 years after until he bought a small little house.

    This is nice, but I would have let the trims to be white. A house needs different color to the walls and trims, most of the cases.

    A "steel Door" instead of the wooden shed door would keep pests out so the brother wont wake up to a mouse or snake licking his feet.
