    People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

      Well i think, home prices will need to fall by at least 40% before the market normalizes. If you do not know whether to buy a house or not, it is best you seek guidance from a well-experienced advisor for proper portfolio allocation. So far, that’s how I’ve stayed afloat over 5 years now, amassing nearly $1m in return on investments.

    I used to work for HD (12 years - in garden and customer service) and sold a LOT of Tuff Sheds. I can tell you that the $16,000 price is the BASE price for this unit (the sign even says 'starting price'). The sign also reads: 'Upgrades shown on display' then lists the upgrades (windows, upgraded shingles, porch, paint, upgraded floor, etc. - things which I guarantee are not included in the base price of $16,000). Read the find print! Also, you need to find out what kind of foundation is required for this size shed; and this varies depending on local building codes. Tuff Shed will pour a cement foundation, but at an extra cost. Personally I still believe it is a great deal and worth checking out . I LOVE the product, which is one reason I was able to sell so many. My guess is that, even with the upgrades shown, you are still looking at a very reasonably priced tiny home. Happy hunting. :)

    Couple of things....the house wrap with the Tuff Shed logo on it is not insulation, it's a water/vapor barrier to keep water out of the house. It has no insulating properties. Next, the "particle board" as you call it is not particle board....it's OSB. Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is way, way stronger and more durable than common particle board. Other than that, it would make a decent hunting cabin if you installed a toilet and a kitchenette maybe.....

That would be in accordance with Agenda 21 in which populations are moved towards urban areas and private property becomes government property. There’s no other explanation for what’s happening.

Most of work would be easy to install. And you can customize as you please, I could find myself a 30k lot and put this in it, as a single person this would work well for me, and even if I start a family it would still accomodare for several years to come as I save up money to build a home on the lot or sell. A studio in my area is like 1k (not including utilities). The extra 4k for something I OWN and can customize to my liking would be ideal! A good afterwoork/weekend project in the spring/summer so I can still live in it as I add insulation, paint etc etc.

    Our friend's Tuff Shed roof sagged and walls spread after heavy rains! We pulled the walls back in with come-alongs, Bolted steel cables thru the wall headers, next to each roof rafter with turn buckles in the center for adjusting. Then added an 'L' shaped brace above the ceiling and short vertical 2x4's bracing the center ridge. Also, a mid-wall splitting upstairs into 2 bedrooms helped support the middle of the roof. Building wouldn't have passed a framing inspection as-is but the guys who built the kit weren't framers and there was no inspections out in the country... Glad we caught it in the elec rough in stage!

    My advice is for everyone to stop being so excited about calling it a tiny home and just say it's a shed. You're just inviting the local township to be nosey and deny occupancy for permanent living. Put it on rural land outside of a burrough and keep quiet about your intentions. Use cash, not financing and stay off grid.
    Edit: seeing as how my comment set off a thread that went way off course, let me clarify I never said to lie, cheat or be sneaky, especially when it comes to taxes. My point is: too many people want to call a shell of a building a tiny home and in doing so embark on a series of disappointments. Buying the land, which ideally is in a rural area, is first and use cash for that. Of course the real estate transaction is recorded and you pay taxes. Then you build small or have a local shed builder deliver on site. They will handle the permit, if needed. Build on a slab or posts so it isn't considered a permanent foundation. You could finance something like that or use credit, cash or a combination. Again, you will pay property taxes on the structure as well. Over time finish the interior to your liking and don't go around telling the local zoning board or everyone else. Why would you? If you use portable power and collect water you won't need to have the building wired or plumbed. That way no one can say anything if they did inspect it. It's still considered a shed even if it has been insulated and drywalled. Whether you "live" there or not is no one's business and no one will care. I don't know why so many people act like this is impossible to do. I have done this twice since 2004 in rural Pennsylvania and the only thing that matters is that I pay the property taxes. There is no county office in our government that comes to see if I live there full time because that isn't a concern of any agency. Recreational use is recreational use for as long as you say it is so, again, stop calling it a tiny house and telling everybody it's your new home. That's just stupid.

We insulated and sheet rocked it ( 1 large room) and moved in with our camping furniture ( homemade). Water was a hand pump 20ft from the "house" and didn't come into the house for 2yrs. Our electric issolar power that we brought from our last residence (a rental - solar was ours). We changed out the double doors for a residential door and put 2 windows on the back wall opposite the front 2. Over the years we have added on to each end of the original bldg, got water into the house and sewer hooked up. (We had help with the plumbing) . We now have a 12x42 " tiny home".

      Dear coke: The original reason for the first Big Cities and the apartment blocks that came with them was solely to benefit Big Business. It costs less to run your corporation from one 40 story building than from 40 one story buildings, although such city planning would result in more livable, less crowded cities with less of a need for apartments. The Minimalist and Small Home movements are really anti-Establishment because these people see how Big Cities mainly benefit the Rich at the cost of working people and poor people. These Small Home people are willing to move away far enough from the Big City to live a less affluent life that that is more satisfying in other ways and is distanced from the CRAZINESS Of Big City Life.

I found that Hickory Sheds Inc are the best built for the turning into a home, but just remember, the cost of materials, wiring, heat and cooling units etc. Will cost about the same if not almost double of what you pay for the shed's, I've done 3 of these and can tell you that it's critical to treat the site area with the strongest non toxic weed and grass killer you can find, then line the area with doubled black barrier tarp, then and stone and level everything as you go.

    Note: one guy and I built one of these for about $4000, all in, over one weekend. They aren't that hard to build, and there are tons of tutorials available to guide you. Caveat: don't try to build it during a massive price spike on lumber, granted.
    EDIT: Apologies guys, I should have clarified. Ours was this size, but was two simple roof slopes, one (four plug) outlet, one utility sink, two overhead lights, unfinished inside with only one long work counter/sink. Outside was finished, roofed. Combined experience of guys involved (me and a GC) was about 50 years experience. It was on pier blocks on existing hardscape. We bought unpainted lumber, it was 2011, so we could not do that today. Probably would have cost us 6000 today (more like 12000 earlier this year when lumber was spiked hard).
    It was a glorious work shed, but it was a work shed. I wouldn't expect to live in it. You could, but it would take another couple grand (back then) to make it comfortable including with some insulation.

A family friend taught my dad what needed to be modified to connect them together and make them into a single house, and then friends of all trades came over for the project to help build it.
    That was in the early 1950s, and that house is still standing today in 2021.
    There was a guy in the Realty Investment Club of Houston (they call it the RICH club) that had gotten an architect and builder to design homes and then generate a list of every part needed to build it once the foundation was laid. They had it so that you could just walk into a Lowe's with a printout (about 3 inches thick) and a delivery schedule - with every single part needed to build the home from top to bottom from drywall to kitchen cabinet doorknobs and all in between!

      Have you priced lumber lately? This isnt bad at all when you consider it includes del7very and set-up. That's thousands of dollars worth of value.

    I helped a guy develop his property for people who wanted to live in sheds. Each person bought their own shed. Some left it as is, others finished it.. The size was 14x40, I wired, plumbed, insulated, installed full bath and W/D. It was made with two partial walls at each end, one bath the other bedroom. Afterward, installed solar. Every person who visited the farm wanted a house like that one. Very comfortable and the lady that owned it, worked from home. She had all the power she needed, but for the winter she had a generator as standby.

    Lowes had one too. I'd like to have one as a garage and use the top floor as a guest room/craft area. I bought a smaller one instead and it's my garden shed. Yes they set them up but you have to have the level place to put it. Also you have to prepare the foundation.

    *Thank you soooooo much for this very thorough tour! I absolutely LOVE IT! I would put a small powder room under the step area and across from that would be a small kitchen. Upstairs would be the master bedroom/bath combo. This is perfect and I know plenty of people who could help me finish the inside. By the way, thank you for the positivity at the end of your video.* 🤗

      You'd be better off building from scratch, rather than buying this unit. The ''hidden'' cost will be through-the-roof!

    Heck, I'd live in it just the way it is. Some throw rugs and furniture would be fine. I'm 66 years old and I don't need wasted space for a home. I could get by with a mini fridge, a counter top to put a hot plate and toaster oven. Good video, thanks for sharing.

    I would stretch it and raise the roof a bit. Add a lower level kitchen and with extension add a full upstairs bathroom. Rock wool and sheet rock the whole house adding duct work for the ac and heating unit add a small fireplace box with pipes out the side upstairs and down for wood heating.
