    Once people figure out that tiny homes on wheels are quite overpriced and realize that they won’t be moving around as much, they’ll flock to these shed houses. These shed homes are very affordable! Also, people should look for Amish-build sheds and shed houses in their area. They’re well built.

    • @ahomesteadjourney

      I agree with everything you said! It is surprising just how expensive tiny homes on wheels are.. Shed conversions are such a wonderful concept if done well! Thanks for sharing!

      Tiny homes are a fad and are pricy cause they have to meet code for towns and dmv. I purchased a 12x32 and been working on it for a year now on some acreage. Getting close to putting up our regular house on the market and the closer the dream becomes reality I’m petrified lol! Once we sell we likely can’t purchase again now that the market has exploded so I’m hoping it’s the right move.

    This would be a great alternative for senior citizens. Sad that so many cities/towns don't allow people to live in these. They'd rather have people go into ridiculous debt and be trapped than having their towns full of people who can afford housing.

    • @UKsystems

      It’s not about them wanting people to get into debt. It’s all about them wanting something built to the regulations as this is technically could follow their own standard and I’m not approved for that use

    • @ahomesteadjourney
      @ahomesteadjourney  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I wish more areas allowed them as well. That’s why we are really fond of land that is unrestricted or has very, very minimal restrictions. That way you can build these conversions and not have any issues with the city/county.

      @@ahomesteadjourney You are very welcome! BTW, did you guys decide on a location for your next homestead? I am researching areas to move to in a few years, and get a small plot of a few acres to put a tiny home on and maybe have a small garden and a few animals! Mostly to relax in nature though! Your video discussing Greenville reminded me to reconsider that area, since it's nice there and also a little cooler than other parts of SC. Would love to hear you and hubby's thoughts in one video on TX vs. NC vs. GA vs. FL. I also saw that you visited Virginia, I actually live in Northern VA now and was thinking about staying in state but just in a cheaper area for buying land. It's really expensive here but there are lots of reasonable, beautiful spots outside of the metropolitan areas! 😂

We had a tornado destroy parts of our home a couple months ago, so we've been focusing on getting things back on track first. Thank you for your feedback and video suggestion! We will put a video out discussing those things soon, so stay tuned ☺ We visited northern Virginia as well...got all the way up to Staunton before turning around! I hope you find the perfect place for you/your family when the time is right!

    I love this concept of smaller/tiny homes. Personally, for me, I’m not interested in tiny home on wheels. In addition to the shed to home conversion I also love container homes. Also, for those that are “handy” they can do as much of the work themselves but hire out the rest. For example, hire out the electrical/plumbing and do the rest themselves. Whatever it takes to help bring the expense down.

      @ahomesteadjourney  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I hear ya! I go to the laundromat sometimes and it can be an inconvenience some days! I've seen people create a small laundry room in a separate shed near the main dwelling. It's something to consider 😊

      I got a portable washer on Amazon for less than $100, fits in a shower stall. I full time in a van and I run it on solar.

    • @carolglassco3856

      This is an easy fix, Take the original bathroom design and put the shower stall where the commode is where the sink is put a washer/dryer combo with the sink just above the combo and move the bathroom door as far to the left as possible and put the commode where the shower was. Same amount of space but have added the convenience of having a washer and dryer in your home.
