What To Know Before Buying A Shed For A House - Shed To House - South Texas Living

Queue the "You could have built it from the ground up cheaper". Obviously I didnt want to build the entire house and yes their labor equals more money. I love when people point out the most obvious things. 😂

Good thing to find all the leaks before you finish the walls

The storm was really a blessing to show you the weak points in the building before you put up interior walls. Hope they can make it right.

Jared, believe me it isn't limited to tiny houses. Large homes are having the same and worse things. It is ridiculous. They need people checking the workers closely. I hope it works out for you!👍🏼

It’s a blessing you had such a heavy rain that you found all the problems now rather than later when you had the inside completed.

Oh no! I would think even if you weren't gonna live in it, it shouldn't leak. You wouldnt want things wet that you store in it as a storage shed. Hope things are made right 🙂

Well Jared, the rain storm came in at the right time, since you didn't place insulation and drywall. I can just imagine how much mold there could have been over time. You actually lucked out with the timing. Sounds like the company will stand behind their product and make it right! All the best next week in getting the repairs done so you can move on with your build.

Glad the company is going to stand by their product. Blessings in disguise if you had gotten electric earlier most likely your insulation maybe even some walls could of been damaged. Great size storm with the amount of rain and wind to give the bare shed a good test and you found the mistakes before moving any further

Hey Jared first of all you didn't make any mistakes! YOU didn't build the shed.. YOU paid your money..the shed leaking is NOT your fault..I know you and I know your bummed but remember your home and you and I both know that Danny will make it right.. keep moving forward with your build..lmk if you need anything 😊

Sorry about the leaks! Glad they'll be prompt in coming out next week to see about correcting all those issues! It shouldn't take too long to fix! Enjoy the rest of your day, Jared! You deserve a break! 🙏❤🙏

The dealers are always great, but dealing with Derksen (the company), is a nightmare. Same thing happened with my 16x50 and it took forever for them to make it right. They ended up having to re-build portions of my dormers and doors. DO NOT let them fix it with caulk, because they will want to. Good luck, brother! It might be a battle, but it’ll be worth it when it’s all fixed.

Jared my house is made with cement walls but the roof is the same you have. I had that problems of the roof every time there is a storm or hard rain . Somebody told me to go to Home Depot and get this thing is like a strong tape that blends in the metal corners.And everywhere you see a separation. That was the end of the trouble. Hopes it helps you. ❤

Sorry to see that you had water leakage in the new house. Sounds like the company is going to be decent. Hopefully they make it right. I always liked the way the Amish folks build. They seem to do excellent craftsmanship. I do hope they fix this really good for you because mold & mildew issues will be a nightmare if not fixed right. Still going to be a wonderful home once you complete it though. You have always had great decorating skills.😊❤

Sorry about those leaks. Good thing you found them sooner than later. They should repair all them without a problem on their end. Good luck Jared.

So sorry you're going through this. I know it must be discouraging. Hopefully they'll fix this soon. I enjoy everyone of your videos. I rarely comment, but I'm watching. I even let the ads run. My elderly mother doesn't have internet, so she drives 30 miles to my apartment once a week to binge watch you and your brothers channels 😊 Take care!

i certainly hope that this gets resolved before another storm flys by.

Jared, Praise God you found this all out before you finished off the inside, and moved in ..in reality it was a blessing in disguise to have the storm roll in now and expose the flaws in the construction of the shed..and you know first hand from owning two sheds before this one that they do not leak if properly constructed.

This year we built a 20x60 with 6inch walls, 3/4 plywood not osb, windows, doors, 24ga metal roof, 6 inch concrete slab and labor cost me $35k. I bought the building materials from Home Depot and used the bid room with my building list. The concrete took 2.5 trucks so I would def recommend that you do your homework before buying those portable buildings. We did 2x6 on 12 inch centers here and both exterior and interior walls are 6 inch for wind load due to hurricane prone zone we are in. Interior baths, closets and hallway are 3/4 plywood on both sides to provide safety during hurricane or bad storm events.

So glad you got the rain before the hydro got connected , I’d say you dodged a bullet buddy .❤️ Golden opportunity to iron the wrinkles out now in stead of later . Hang in there Jared , this isn’t your first rodeo . You ‘v got this , there’s a whole team behind you . Night everyone & blessings over everyone of you .❤️💕❤️

I hope those issues can be resolved! I am sure that they can. Try not to stress. They will make things right for you! God bless you always!
