It's definitely not nuts. Living simple is so much better. Why do we need huge houses, it's just wasted space. I hope it turns out like you all want it to.
I normally wouldn’t like living in an unfinished home but with the high cost of rent these days you can save up and do projects when you get the money saved to do them. Take that rent money and use it for supplies.
That's absolutely right. We do not love living in the shed unfinished, but we aren't having to pay any rent and that is really what frees up more money. It's not ideal but it is what it is and we are making the most of it.
Despite of beeing unfinished, the place is well organized and cozy, looks like you have all you need. Spending winter in that house without insolation must have been a challenge. All the difficulties you are facing gonna make you stronger at the end and all what you are missing right now will feel as a reward. I like the idea of your lifestyle. Some people choose to live in tiny houses, which is not always practical and comfortable, coz we all need to have some space. I definately would choose a small house like yours instead of tiny. When it is finished it is gonna be a totally different house. Looking forward to see your updates 😊Please do add your cookings to your viodeos from time to time. It is intresting how people orginize their food when living off grid..
Thank you ! And I agree that cooking videos would be a good addition. We plan on doing those when we have our actual kitchen built but it would probably be helpful to show what we are doing now.
Just found you on IG, and came across to see your place. What a brilliant way for 2 friends who get along to save money and build a life! I'm sure you've made many changes since this video, but I love what you've done at this point to make it work. I'd think a pony wall in front of each bed with built-in storage would be a great solution - so just like a partial-wall, the height of a chest of drawers. In fact 2 chests of drawers could do the same thing. Wishing you ladies a wonderful life building your vision!
G’day from Australia, this is the first video I’ve seen from this channel and I’m really impressed. You girls are very inspirational and I look forward to checking out more of your videos. I’m on team no wall, my advice is to save the extra money and build a nice big deck/awning out the back. Nothing worth while doing is easy. ✊
My family and I are literally doing the same thing. We have a 12x20 cabin with a loft and planning on adding a second loft. We just got insulation put up on lower level but my daughter (who sleeps in loft) doesn’t want insulation in her loft because she said her room would get too hot. We’re also getting wood pallets for free and sanding and staining them cutting and hanging on walls. I love the set up you guys have!
Oh awesome! Will y'all have a/c? We run our a/c without insulation right now and it makes it cool enough, but the space in the roof area is sooooo hot. Insulation would be a game changer up there for us.
I have a shower curtain that is a woods scene with a creek and 4 🐎 🐎 crossing the stream. I would try something like this or fabric with a scene or ?? Maybe ? If you don't like it it can always go on the shower rod.? 😉🤭🤣 Also your HF kitchen cart is great 👌 ... they have one that has drawers with flat top surface I want as a small island in my (mobile 🏡) kitchen. Great progress on your developing the land / 🏡 project. Very admirable. Happy Trails from ole granny in NM
What about a temporary curtain wall to close off the bedroom if you have people over for dinner and a movie? Or even 2 room dividers? I’ve used both with good results.
My Sister got some tall shutters from restore and made a separate room for her son off the living space because she couldn’t find a 3 bedroom apartment she could afford! It worked great and looked nice. Just an idea
I just came up on your channel and have enjoyed watching your journey. I watch a lot of homesteaders in Portugal and a lot of them describe the reasons they purchased land and are living a more sustainable existence. Most talk about the fact that they hated working 24/7 to pay ridiculous rents and big mortgages and they grew tired of lto living in a concrete jungle. They love the fact now that they own their own land, live simple grow their own food and spend their time working with their hands with a slower pace of life. Yes, the work is demanding, but it’s physical and the reward is you see such a change in your land in the structures that you are building and designing with your own hands. They also discuss that they like knowing where their food is coming from, and that their animals are raised in a humane way. I love that your little house shows your capabilities and personalities. I love the kitchen cupboards are painted in the lovely blueish green with the copper handles and then the little red checked curtain covering one of the storage areas, so unique yet cosy too! I live here in Canada in a 200 year old Log Home. It has so much character and I love the logs that must have come from the virgin forest her and we’re hand hewn. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Best of luck in your endeavours.
Maybe a comprimise on the wall. I don't know how wide this is, so Maybe build two 3' or 4' sections from the outer walls and frame the middle as a large door, and find accordian type closet doors that would be open most of the time and closed when needed, or pocket doors, since your building from scratch, from each side. Might get you both what you want. Lots of work but very rewarding!
It doesn't sound crazy at all! I just found your channel, and I admire what you're doing so much. It's really inspirational to see two women take their own life and dreams into their own hands! Thanks for sharing!
Y’all’s floor plan is very similar to mine. I love the idea of separating the bedroom. I know it will make it feel smaller but you could put shelves or whatever on the walls and personalize each side of the room
Oh. My. Goodness! I am so excited to have found you! I, too, am going on this adventure that you are on, only I am by myself and am working with only 2 acres of raw land, which is just about all I can handle on my own. So I have a freakin' TON of questions for you! But I subscribed and will try to find the answers in your other videos before I start shooting them off to you! I am glad to see you living in an unfinished shed, because that is what I am figuring I will have to do and work on it while I am living there. People think I am crazy as well, but sometimes, you just have to do what you have to do to get where you want to be! Like I said, I am SO EXCITED to have found you, because I can see what is ahead and use your solutions as well. I was going with a Bluetti instead of a Jackery, so 1st question is why did you choose the Jackery? Is there something I should know? I look forward to catching up with all your other videos! Thanks SO much for sharing!
We are happy to have you! I would say-if you can avoid it at all- try not to live in your shed while you are working on it. It makes everything 10X slower and harder. It's doable but I wouldn't recommend it. We have the Jackery b/c they sent us one a while ago. It's definitely not our only power source as we mostly use generator and the Jackery keeps things powered at night. Best wishes to you!
A little to unfinished for me, but I think you are clever using what you have. We have hopes of our future of having a shed home on our own lil piece of land. CONGRATS!
So what about a couple of bookshelves storage and separation. For temporary That’s what I’m doing to separate our spaces in the pods I’m really excited for y’all and so proud of you. Every time I drive by with my dad he says “hi girls the place is looking nice”. Lol
That's not a bad idea! And thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad your dad sees the good and misses the disaster that's everywhere else on the land 😅
Add a small shed to the left and another to the right now you each have a private bedroom. Face if you can go to a random dealership and buy them 2nd hand. Bargain and it is cheap cheep and instant
I like it a lot!!! Love your front porch. The puppy is SO cute! I'm subscribing and following your 5 acre adventure. Now I'm going to binge watch all your videos.
Very interesting house! I love the fact that it has a vapor barrier. Most sheds that are sold do not have that. How did you come across finding a shed with a vapor barrier?
I just purchased my 12x32 garage shed last night. We are getting ready to set it up on a rental lot. I am looking for info on how to build the shed out. We have a place for the next month to live at and then into the shed on the lot. I am disabled and looking to live tiny and within my means or less each month and retire for good.
About the orange armchair, to save you the expense and time recovering it, you can easily change the colour. Just clean it well first, vacuum then wash arms or any areas with shampoo or dish wash if grubby/greasy. Blot with towel till just damp. Dampen with spray bottle if not dirty. Paint with watered down acrylic paint,start at back first. Start with half paint to half water, it will depend on the fabric texture/weave, original colour and paint colour. A very flat, close weave would end up looking like leather, nice in black or brown. The paint must be diluted or it will dry hard and shiny. Several coats will be required. In the future you can still remove the fabric and recover if wanted. It’s a very cheap fix up. Check out Furniture Flipping Teacher, she does velvet chairs for profit.
Oh that's a fun DIY! Our chair is actually in great condition, we just don't love the color anymore. Whenever we get to the decorating part we will get someone local to recover it in something we love! Until then, it'll stay orange lol
NICE VIDEO EVERYTHING IS COMING ALONG GREAT & IM SURE YOU FEEL VERY FREE LIVING OFF GRID WITH MINIMAL EXPENSES, TRUST ME I CAN RELATE, MAY YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE & CONTINUED SUCCESS.... 👍 MOGUL....
Hello ladies! I have been binge watching your videos for about a week now. I went all the way back to when you bought your land. I’m very intrigued and it’s always been a dream of mine to do what you’re doing. I’m retiring in a year and I am seriously now considering it. My question is… What stove did you upgrade to? I looked up the last stove that you had and now I’m curious as to what you bought this time. That first stove was so tiny. My shed would be about the same size as yours, so I was hoping you could get some insight into that stove.
My goodness no one wants to know how you use the pots or how many times you have used it. Like those was unnecessary speech, we just wanted a short video tour and show us once you are done finishing it
Would you mind sending me your email address? I wanna send our next videos to you to get your input. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I want to make sure YOU and only you likes how we've done our videos. Your opinion is the only one that matters. Gosh, I can't tell you how grateful we are to hear what you had to say about his video. We've been waiting around for you to comment ever since we started making videos and it FINALLY happened!
It's definitely not nuts. Living simple is so much better. Why do we need huge houses, it's just wasted space. I hope it turns out like you all want it to.

I’d love to do what you girls are doing. I applaud you. Simple. Peaceful. A lot of work, but so rewarding.
Thank you so much! It is indeed all of those things :)

Here’s a idea, put kitchen in middle and you each get a little bedroom space on either side
Congratulations!!
God bless your home

Y’all’s floor plan is very similar to mine. I love the idea of separating the bedroom. I know it will make it feel smaller but you could put shelves or whatever on the walls and personalize each side of the room
Maybe high cabinets over headboards. Or shelves.
Ottoman with storage is a must! For extra blankets and pillows, sheets, etc.
Love your new home and your plans for the future additions.
Thank you!!!
BTW,Hello from central Florida..Just discovered your videos and I love them and your content,you ladies are empowering..very creative ,and brave !
Been missing y'all..I know this is an old Video and I hope y'all are well.
Is there a bedroom reveal coming? So much has changed outside…. Inside? 🥳🤩? Best wishes to you both. Love ur channel
Like that you’re living in the house while still deciding where things are going to be put.
It's definitely helpful in some ways but it's certainly making it more challenging to get it finished!
Oh..love the dress and hat.

We got ours from Old Hickory Buildings and they have the option to add it on, very nice option.

Wondering what stove size you upgraded too? Also, what are the lowest temperatures you’ve stayed in the shed home?
It looks like a fun project. I’m just curious what size your cabin is? I just ordered a 12x28.
We have a 12X32!
Love your sense of adventure. Consider a 1/2 wall?
ya'll could both get a twin murphy bed
Just love your new home!
Thanks :)
Isn't a vapor barrier a "must have" to prevent condensation/ mold within the wall.??
Just subscribed! loved the boot cleaner!
Living in a place without being dry walled is a lot more work.
How about an expandable door one side to the other.
I Love it ❤
Very cool 😎 I want to build something like this 😉 thanks
There are so many rules and regulations and zoning in Georgia it's almost impossible to live in a tiny houses here .

cute dress!
Cute house,aforabel dog...
Amazing….
What are the house measurements?
I’m team wall 👋🏻
If you were in Northern California I would ask if I could rent a spot for a tiny home ....where are you located ?
Thinking about doing shed to home. I currently have a mortgage and would rather be debt free.
So cute!
Thanks!
Whats the size of this shed?

That looks nice to me. I hear 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
😂 yes they are very noisy!
Where are you located? What state
Hawks can pick up you’re dog in Tennessee careful
I know you told what size of your tiny home is, but I don't remember and can't find it. What size is the shed length and width, not square feet?
12x32
Thank you!
No plugs in the room!? I'd die. Lol need fan. I charge my phone overnight.
I can't find the info.. what size shed is this please?
12X32
What are the dimensions? I know I heard it the first time i watched this earlier in the week... but trying to find it again
12X32
How do you wash your clothes? Thanks.
