**How Much Did Our Shed to House Cost?**

Your title is misleading. I though it was gonna be a before and after video of it being converted into a tiny home.

Great video and very good price on that shed. I have a TuffShed just a few miles down the road from my house. I used them to build a 10X24 in my backyard. It was about $3, 500 installed. For an additional $1, 500ish I installed flooring, insulation, electricity, lighting, heat & AC, and installed a dividing wall so the shed breaks down into two rooms of 10X12. In short, for about $5K total, I added two very nice rooms to my house. Totally worth it.

I’ve worked in construction for a long time and with my knowledge and skill set I would say that the shed looks well built. You are right that is called a top plate and the joists that sit on the top plate for the lift is a good idea. They are stronger that way, you kinda get two for one. Floor system for the loft and joist to hang ceiling on first floor.

It's neat to see those two story shed to house conversion buildings but not one single one has been converted on YouTube you cannot find a tour of a completed one

I lived in one like that 20 years ago in Texas when i was working in a refinery shutdown for 2 months. It was at a small motel and had 2 of those. 2 beds up top 1 down bottom with bath and kitchen. I loved it. It rented for 350 a week split 4 ways.

I like the 2 story shed also. Tried getting it on my property. In my city it was strict on foundation requirements. The city insisted on 30ft pilings under the shed. Which drove the price out of my budget. I ended up doing an addition to my existing home. It turned out for the best😀.

[gardenerjei]

Interesting. I'm sure there will be the "I can build that for cheaper" comments but a lot of people don't have the knowledge and experience to build it for themselves so it's nice there are options like this available.

[riverratrvr]

Wow! That's huge. I could definitely live in that. Makes my RV look like a closet! Lol thanks for the tour! Love it 👍

[Mcfirefly]

I've seen this one and wandered around in it, turning it into a house, too. Build it on a slab, but add a tiny extra slab with rough plumbing to the back, and build a lean-to bathroom, preferably with a second door opening directly outside. That gives you a bath you can access from the garden; it becomes a mudroom as well as a bath. A walk in shower would be great for it, and the laundry could be right next to it. While you're at it, extend that lean-to and build your kitchen sink and counters along that wall. A nice window overlooking the land.

One store name: Re-Store! Get a base model like this, go there, buy repurposed building materials, and go to town on a budget! 16 X 24 X 21 ft should be plenty room for most 1 - 2 kid families or single/coupled up people.

[alfrdup]

I would take two of those and put them side-by-side but turn them around one faces One direction one faces the other. So I can have the back stairs in the back and then a set of stairs in the front.

[epictopic]

Perfect size for just myself!!!! I’d definitely live in that.

[traceyestes]

This is the BEST Shed layout for a Tiny Home that I've seen... I really like it and I am not into stairs, lofts and two-storys..😁

[williamstephenson]

If you live in Texas, cut out the middle man( Home Depot) and go to the source. They're located in Buda(Austin).

[fordman]

The tuff shed is nice but they are definitely over priced and the exterior is really poor quality. We got ours from Crowe Barn Builders in Texas and we are very happy with the quality! They used heavy duty plywood on the floors and not that glued together wood chips. The floor is extremely solid and they work with you directly to customize. Our shed was about $1800 cheeper than home Depot and we was able to do the rent to own without putting any money down.

[wayfastwhitie]

Something like this would make a great addition to a property for a Mother in Law suite.

[susieq]

Great shell for a starter home! You can do all kinds of upgrades. Love the loft!

[WayOverBooked]

Okay so here is my dream (and it's a dream, so it'll be a while) but when we can get our own home, we want to get a 2 story shed and turn it into a personal library. I have a MASSIVE amount of books and I would literally melt if I could have my own separated library! A nice cozy space to read. So that'll be level one. And level two will be my hobby area. I do YouTube/video stuff and am starting a shop for crafting. I'm actively picking out names to call my personal building.

They do have Tuff Shed dealers in Texas. The customer service was awesome. I purchased a Tuff Shed Tall and they built it on my property in city limits. I did have to get a permit and it was not hard because these sheds are built with standards just like a house. I had mine completely finished on the inside. It brought great value to my home and I used it to run my business out of. I recently sold the property and the added converted Shed to office space was a huge sales point!!! I hope to purchase another one soon but on land in the countryside !!!!😀
