      I don't think that's jaded honestly. Look at tiny home living, companies charging 80k-300k for tiny homes, smaller than ~800 sqft when you can get a full sized home for cheaper.
      Pretty impressed though with this guys home, definitely looks nice overall and something I could find myself living in honestly just a shame I don't have the time (or help) like he did to make it more affordable to get started/finish up.

      I disagree. The only thing you're really sourcing is a framed structure. There's still a lot of work to put in. Hardly qualifies as a pre fabricated home. You're bypassing a very small portion of the entire home building process (the framing).

He will carry that knowledge with him throughout his life and it will serve him well throughout his life.

My dad is 80 now, and he knows how to design, build, and finish homes from scratch. He also repaired cars, electrical devices, and masonry. He was a consummate businessman and serial entrepreneur by day in a suit, who liked to "tinker with toys". My grandfather taught him along with all of his brothers. Growing up, my family beamed with pride that my dad could build or fix anything!

    People keep referring to this shed home as a tiny home, however, at 800 sq. ft. it's bigger than many two-bedroom apartments. By not breaking it up into many rooms, I see that you have not only a nice entertaining space but a really nice-sized master bedroom.

    This house is the same square footage of my first 40+ old frame house that my wife and I bought for $3,500 and had moved onto our property for $1,500. It was moved from a property 30 miles away from our property. The house was 20' x 40'. It had a living room, bathroom, two bedrooms, a dining room, and kitchen. It was small and inexpensive but livable. We had lived in rentals since we were in college. This was our first home. It needed a lot of work. Four years later we sold it along with the 1-1/4 acres for $58,000.

    The blocks are perfectly fine. My grandfather built a single room shed as a craft shop for my grandmother that he later enlarged to be a two bedroom house for my uncle. It all went on blocks like this and that house is still standing and in level over 30 years later. In fact most of the older houses were built this way where I grew up. It's only the newer construction that uses a concrete pad foundation. And given that one of my friends has had to spend tens of thousands of dollars fixing his concrete pad foundation because of the ground settling unevenly under it they are far from maintenance free...

      Nice build over all but I do have to question a few things. The toilet choice makes me think this home doesn't have proper septic to it which in many areas would prevent it from being a legal permanent dwelling. And I also have to question if the ceiling meets proper coding for a permanent housing. Between the two things I have to question if proper permitting was done on it. Next is a minor complaint but is a legitimate one IMO. Your washer/dryer combination unit is going to be near impossible to get out of the space or even do maintenance on due to the L shaped room it is in. You would also have to remove the racks mounted on the walls to even get it out of the space. Assuming of course you can even reach the power and vent duck to disconnect so it can be pulled out.

      We also have pretty big rural lots for less.so building and living rural is still pretty cheap option.
      About legality .in such rural places people fr the municipalities act like family and nothing is so strict .
      Last summer went to visit a few properties and everything looked very promising .

    honestly, with the current housing market, cost of 'new homes'. These little cottage homes are a great option.
    You can get 16x50 or 800 square foot fully finished, with heater, washer, dryer, full kitchen, etc, for around 118k 2 bedroom, + loft. Where you don't need to do anything to them. so for 2 bedroom for under 120k new... turn key... the options are there for lower income families to actually get homes.
    On the flip side, this one always kind of bugs me.
    The bambi, 12x20, bathroom with shower, studio set up, kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge. about 35k total. Think about that with homeless... IF cities wanted to allow it... 35k +5-9k for land. cities could set up zones for little homes like this, and work with special financing. now elderly, singles... could get a home and the payments on a 40k total home?

Over the years the deck faded, and the Duncanville filled the shutters that are some kind of vinyl. We came thru and painted the shutters and trim black, and the deck pure white. It looks like a little cottage out of a magazine, just beautiful. The design of her home has never looked like the typical, pitch down the middle of the roof home to start with, it’s really pretty.
