  • PART 6 of a multi-part series on how I built a Tuff Shed in my backyard to use as a home studio for TH-cam, podcasting and more. This is the final video in the series.
    This episode looks at how much I spent to build the shed. Note that most of the furniture & video/audio gear used I already owned, so that was not included in the cost breakdown.

      @@simplysean11 If I remember right, we paid an electrician to run 220v cable all the way from the house garage main all the way through the attic, down some plastic conduit, down below the ground, to the Tuff Shed, etc. I paid him $1,800.00 or so. I also dug the 6ft trench myself. It turned out so perfect. I’ll definitely have to make a video and post it!

    Great Video. I'm looking into getting solar to my shed as well. I do like the brand Bluetti. Curious what was your reasoning for getting different brand (renogy) solar panels? Was it price, or another reason you didnt get Bluetti panels? Just curious as this may change my ideas for my setup. Thanks

      Every city is different as it relates to permits, but this building is self-contained using solar. I simply run an extension cord to the shed for grid power, whenever needed.

    Hey Blake, your videos have been great. I am trying to do the exact same thing in terms of electrical for my shed. But I am completely ignorant as to how to ask an electrician. Can you breakdown exactly how I should ask for this? Every electrician is confused when I say I am trying to run the shed on a portable solar power station.

  • @MisterP577
    @MisterP577 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great series! How is the soundproofing on your build? I'm looking to do something similar and I'm curious how much isolation you're getting. (I have neighbors with barking dogs)

    • @BlakeCalhoun
      @BlakeCalhoun  ปีที่แล้ว

      The sound proofing is more than fine for most situations, although our neighbors have a barking dog as well, and there’s a train that goes by every day at 3pm - those not so much. And then when the lawn crews come through with weedeaters, etc. I can’t record voice over. But overall, it’s solid.

  • @needamuffin
    @needamuffin ปีที่แล้ว

    That's actually not too bad, I was expecting closer to $24k. I'm planning on building something similar but I'm going to do as much of it myself as I can. I was budgeting for it to cost around $30k, but it'll be a fair bit bigger and with as many bells and whistles as I can find, but it sounds like that may be an overestime if I extrapolate from your experience here.

    • @BlakeCalhoun

  • @mattstark9144
    @mattstark9144 ปีที่แล้ว

    Amazing cost breakdown - Thanks! As of now, apparently Tuff Shed's list price for the Premier Pro Studio is $9,068 USD (no upgrades). I don't see this lean-to on Home Depot's site, but $3,660 for your base price is quite the difference. Am I missing something? I'm looking to do exactly what you are doing.

    • @BlakeCalhoun
      @BlakeCalhoun  ปีที่แล้ว

      One of the main factors is how big of a structure you’re wanting. The price goes up extremely fast the larger the building. So I’m not sure what size you were getting quoted, but that does seem on the higher side, especially with no upgrades (if it’s 10x16). However, I bought mine in fall of 2020, so with inflation, etc. that could be factoring in. And I definitely saved money going through Home Depot versus directly through Tuff shed. They’re called Lean-To at Home Depot and look much more basic until you customize it.

    Is the solar your only source of power or do you also tap into your home electricity? Great video btw.

    • @BlakeCalhoun
      @BlakeCalhoun  ปีที่แล้ว

      I use grid power too. A lot actually when running the AC or heater full time. But solar has been a nice supplement - and when the weather is mild it can be the main source of power (I need more panels and really a larger capacity battery/inverter to really be self-sufficient). Thanks for watching!

  • @dereckh
    @dereckh ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi. I did similar with a slightly larger version of the tuff shed you're using. one thing I didn't consider was CO2 buildup inside. the mini split is a simple heat pump and doesn't bring in fresh air. so without a window open and a fan exhausting or bringing in new air I noticed CO2 can rise by 1000ppm per hour. I am looking into a permanent solution for this now.
    Have you ran into this problem?

    • @BlakeCalhoun
      @BlakeCalhoun  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I haven’t, but I also have never measured CO2. I believe using the window unit AC allows for enough ventilation and/or fresh air in the space. Some people have said they added a roof vent. I’m not an expert in that world though.

    • @dereckh
      @dereckh 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@BlakeCalhounyeah, one guy i knows has a window AC in his, it has a 'fresh air mode' - unfortunately my heatpump doesn't and just cycles the same air (like all other heatpumps)
      i ended up adding an in-wall panasonic bathroom exhaust fan to the shed. it's connected to a zwave switch, i also linked it to a local co2 monitor and used home assistant to turn on the fan if ppm exceeds 750 ppm and off when it drops before 600. it works great and the fan is around 75 cfm so it doesnt completely exhaust all my conditioned air in minutes.
      i only noticed the co2 issue because i was feeling overly tired during my work days. sometimes i would spend 8+ hours out there and once i purchased a co2 monitor i noticed it hit 10k ppm the first day.
