As a policy I refuse to make comments. However, I decided to make an exception to offer you a tip. If you thin your drywall mud, add a squirt of dish soap and mix it before use it would make application and sanding much easier and give you a professional finish.

I'm pretty sure you built that better then most actual homes that are built these days. Great job!!!!!!!!!

Framing 10/10! But because you asked - you have to flash window/door frames on all 4 sides usually 3" on the sheathing and 3" onto the frame. Then install the windows with calking all around, but over hang the frame so it clears your siding. Then install counter flashing and then your finish siding. Water is going to come off the window and get between your siding.

As a kid of the 50's we built our own. Nice to see a family work on a need together. This tiny home was built with love and great craftman ship.. Great Job!

I was impressed that your wife, neighbor & son all helped. Even your dogs made an appearance. I now have an appreciation for all that goes into building even a small space. Everything you did was driven by quality and excellence. My dream is to live in a tree house designed by Pete Nelson.

this is why im being patient and waiting for my husband....cause this is what i want to help him do

I like it. It came out great. I personally wouldn’t have put the rack in there because it looks too tight and will probably be a pain to put on the plates on the barbell.

If you get any heat about not having staggered joints on the subfloor, those people are not competent builders. Ignore them. Also, what a great neighbour! One thing I noticed is next time, don't put sealant under your windows, and always shim them up a 1/4" to 1/2". If any moisture gets by your flashing, it will have nowhere to go and will just rot in the window jamb area.

Agreed. Very good work

You needed to put “Z” flashing between the siding. Water will get inside the seam. You can’t rely on caulking. The window flashing (the sticky kind) needs to be done from the bottom to top so there is always an overlap on your seams. You put your sides on first, then the top then the bottom. Any water that comes down the top will rook under that flashing. Your window frames should have had a bigger gap between the framing so when the earth moves, it won’t break the glass. I can’t tell but your floor joists should have been pressure treated since they are touching those concrete blocks. If they get wet they will rot out.

Great video. I learned the hard way that drywall sheets should be staggered on walls. You'll get seems at the joints over time with movement.

Things look great but I would suggest using "door stop" to install the small window instead of a dado. This would allow a much easier replacement in case the glass ever breaks.
