Hi! Who of us does not want to enjoy a long and happy life? Just think how wonderful it would be if we could live forever in health and happiness! We could spend more time with loved ones, travel the world, develop new skills, grow in wisdom, and learn thoroughly about whatever interests us, to our heart’s content . Is such a desire unnatural? Is that desire impossible to realize? What do you think about it?

That shape of roof design, as opposed to just V shaped, gives a lot more room in the loft. If they were shorter people, you could make downstairs have a lower roof, like the living room where you're sitting anyway, and make more headroom upstairs. I'd leave the kitchen and bathroom full standing height.

Exactly what I'm thinking of doing. 15-20k for this, vs 250k+ for a house is a no brainer for me personally. It can always become a guest house down the road. The housing market is out of control, and alternatives like this allow people another option besides paying ridiculous prices. Something like this costs maybe 2 years or less of paying rent.

You can build this same shed for no more than $7000 actually and a piece of land in a decent area is about five to $10,000 so yeah you’re right about $15-$20,000 for the land and the house. It’s an absolute no-brainer I feel people who spent 250,000 or more for house are literally brain dead. The only time you should spend that much for a house is if you can literally buy it upfront in cash and you just have so much money to burn that you don’t know what to do with it. Taking 30 years to pay something off does not mean you can afford it but for whatever reason people think that that’s normal or acceptable behavior. Keep in mind a $250,000 house on a 30 year mortgage comes up to about $800,000 if you factor in taxes and interest rate. Imagine paying $800,000 for a house that cost $40,000 to build.

People keep voting in democrats. They keep opening the border and illegals live in a house with multiple other families. They might have a 2 bedroom house for 600 or 800a month and have 5 different families there. So they're literally splitting the rent 10 different ways and are OK working for 9 bucks an hr.

Yup, because the older you get the more difficult it will be trying to get up the ladder. Plus you can have a deep staircase that can begin right at the front door when you walk in you can either towards the living area or straight upstairs to the bedroom. Then all the clothes can be stored under the stairs, with built in shelves/drawers and behind the front door you can have a couple of hooks for a place for hanging jackets.

Very good idea

If you take down your current closet, you can build a staircase (with a rail) on that wall and the closet underneath it with doors. It would still have to be a little steep because of the front door but it wouldn’t be that bad. Another idea is to add a cat walk over the living room to get to the other loft which could be the closet, opening up the space downstairs. You could get ladder that isn’t so steep (still move it to the wall) and add a small table and two chairs underneath.

Was in Seward with my son 3 1/2 yrs ago. Went on a cruise to see the glaciers. It was drizzly all the way to our destination up to a mile away and the clouds parted the sun came out and lit up the glacier. It was so breathtakingly beautiful. Best vacation I've ever had.

Totally agree about the covered deck in SE Alaska! I'm in Sitka. Our winters are not as long and cold as yours, but still it is so nice to be able to sit outside all year round. Half of my 10 X 20 deck is enclosed for a hot house to grow tomatoes, the other half is seating. I had a corrugated plastic roof, but I replaced it with that double walled plastic. It still is opaque enough to see the rain and snow falling while I sit comfortably under it on my chair. But I don't worry so much about snow load on it. Cute cabin.

As a retired business woman I love this marketing guy. He has the right timing as to when to interject all his businesses. The outside of the house is very cute with the color, porch and orca .

Agreed. Promoting so casually.

I've watched a lot of videos about tiny houses but this may be one of the best executed homes I've ever seen. And it makes excellent sense for how it is being used.

I live in Sitka, and yes, we get a lot of rain, too. I have as small covered deck (about the size of yours) and I even love it in the winter. There is nothing like sitting outside all bundled up and drinking hot cocoa and watching the snow fall. My cat appreciates this also. She has her own blanketed chair out there. We are surrounded by wilderness; there is no reason why it has to start at our back door. A covered deck is a small but very meaningful luxury.

Nice to listen to a happy man, and watch him proudly tour and describe his home. Thanks!

My man, when you corrected yourself with the water heater words, I laughed out loud and said you are the man! That was awesome my friend.

I gotta say this is one of the nicest Shed Houses that Ive seen.

Suggestion: If you hang another rod in front of the coats then go and pick out some fabric from hobby lobby (closed on Sundays), not sure if you guys have one over there, you can pick out whatever type of fabric you want and it becomes a jerry-rig door of sorts. :)

Or, simply hang a curtain. A simple solution.

Only living in it part-time makes sense to me. I had a small house, less than 700 sqft, and loved it. But after a while you just feel so cramped. Also, a porch is an absolute necessity with a tiny home! You have to be able to spread out and feel the room to breath! IMHO I would have made the ladder adjustable so you could pull it out so it wasn’t as steep. I’m getting older, too, and that’s quite a climb. Definitely have to have a king size bed! We use a memory foam bed but we’ve discovered we want different firmnesses and my side broke down (I felt) faster than my wife’s. So our next purchase I’m gonna buy two twin XLs! That way we can get two different firmnesses and if mine breaks down faster again I can replace it without disturbing her side of the bed. I never liked seeing older couples move into different rooms like my grandparents did (but of course there are reasons). Great video.

With the fridge being right up against the extended wall on the left. If the door orientation was switched, the wall would prevent the door from opening past 90°.
