Shed to House ~ 1 Year Anniversary, A Look Back

  • With Spring Break this week, we took a break from the shed to house build. Since it is the one year anniversary of when I bought my land and started this journey, I decided to take a look back and see how far we have come. And how far we still have to go! I included costs for most of the big items, those will be different for different locations and situations but hopefully it will give you an idea at least, if you're considering doing something similar.

    You beat me to own dream!! Lol!😂 Forested acreage with a tiny house is the goal that I am currently working towards. It is absolutely amazing that I ran across your channel right now. I've been doing lots of planning & research but seeing yours really pumps up my excitement level. Your place is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing the process. Enjoy your new home in paradise!!!💕💕💕

    You should have used "mini split" a/c heat units

      That's the plan for spring. Unfortunately, it wasn't an option through the builder and I thought the PTAC would be okay, but after the summer we just had, I'm definitely going to save up for a mini split! Thanks for watching! ❤️

    I love your shed to house!! Love your land and am grateful you're showing all that you're going thru to complete your home. This is something I've thought about but where I live I'm not certain it would be the best move. I'm enjoying watching your adventure and seeing your plans come together even thru those "waiting" times. Admire your patience. (Love your dog too!) 😊

    New to your channel and really appreciate that you expressed your frustrations, yet always with a positive mindset. Also, thanks for detailing costs and unexpected hiccups and delays. Wow, all the things I had not / did not know. Will be purchasing land soon and similar set up with a converted barn, shed or "tiny" home to live in. Thank you for this educational moment and excited to continue your journey and see the final reveal. Your location and home look amazing, and how blessed to have support/help from family 💙.

    Great video. May I ask what was the reason for an aerobic septic?

    • @a.shed.instead
      @a.shed.instead  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi there, absolutely! After the soils test, there was too much clay in the soil so they would only approve an aerobic system for that reason. If it was sandy I could have gone with a conventional system. Thanks for the question! 😊

      Hi there! Thanks so much, you're very kind. I got the shower panels from Lowe's. On their site they are called 'Jetcoat 42-in W x 42-in D x 78-in H Carrara White Corner Panel Kit Shower Wall Surround'
      Not cheap, but I do love them!
