TINY HOME...HOME DEPOT...$16,000 delivered!!!

This is modern America, the American dream has been adapted from owning a home to owning a shed.

People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

This is what an affordable home looks like in 2024! 😮

I have purchased 7 of these type places. Did all the finish work of spray foam, Sheetrock, electrical and plumbing + cable and Window A.C. Units. My goal is to gave 25 or more on My Land of 33 Acers. I am a commute of 30 minutes city but very secluded. This is the Future of Rental Properties and Home Ownership. I literally have a waiting list of people earger to be part of this new idea of a Community I am building. The Town is very accepting and helpful with My permits. They only require each place have its own electric Meter. I can avoid that by installing Solar they told Me. This is the Future of Rentals and a solution to the homeless problem.

It would be cool if they had a decorating show where each designer got one of these and a budget and see what they come up with.

My dad bought this for my sister several years ago when she was a single teenage mother. She lived in it with her daughter for several years. Complete with two small bedrooms.

I bought a 26x40 garage and Tuff Shed built it in one day. Divided it in half and now have a one bedroom, one bath with a two car garage. It cost me 18k in 2013. Well worth the investment.

I'm happy to see Hank Hill is doing well and has a YouTube channel.

This is more spacious, affordable, and nicer looking than 95% of the tiny homes I've seen.

I actually bought one of these and made a home out of it many years ago. All together I believe the investment was around $25,000 for he building and finishing it out. How it works is Home Depot delivers all the materials to your building site then a crew comes in a puts it together over the course of about 3-4 days.

I built one 7 years ago still live in it today, set it up on a concrete foundation. I use P Tac units for heat and air. It a great tiny home.

Nice video. Wood on floor is oriented strand board or OSB. House wrap acts a vapor barrier, not insulative.

I used to work for HD (12 years - in garden and customer service) and sold a LOT of Tuff Sheds. I can tell you that the $16,000 price is the BASE price for this unit (the sign even says 'starting price'). The sign also reads: 'Upgrades shown on display' then lists the upgrades (windows, upgraded shingles, porch, paint, upgraded floor, etc. - things which I guarantee are not included in the base price of $16,000). Read the find print! Also, you need to find out what kind of foundation is required for this size shed; and this varies depending on local building codes. Tuff Shed will pour a cement foundation, but at an extra cost. Personally I still believe it is a great deal and worth checking out . I LOVE the product, which is one reason I was able to sell so many. My guess is that, even with the upgrades shown, you are still looking at a very reasonably priced tiny home. Happy hunting. :)

I used to build these for Tuff Shed. They are solid and they go up quick. We could put one of these together in a day as long as everything ran smoothly. I would personally go with the 18x24 with the barn style roof if they still offer it.

Last yr, my son's friend bought this and we wired it for him in a weekend! Elec hot water tank went under the stair landing. Elec Panel was above that with elec service meter on the N end of the building. Circuits went up through upper and lower stair well walls. Toilet, shower, was under stairs, 30" door on rt end. Kitchen cabinets from stair to bathroom door. Wood stove in S. back corner of liv room. Mini/split AC N end, next to elec service. Upstairs big bedroom and sleeper/sofa down stairs for company.

Couple of things....the house wrap with the Tuff Shed logo on it is not insulation, it's a water/vapor barrier to keep water out of the house. It has no insulating properties. Next, the "particle board" as you call it is not particle board....it's OSB. Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is way, way stronger and more durable than common particle board. Other than that, it would make a decent hunting cabin if you installed a toilet and a kitchenette maybe.....

In 1970 my grandparents bought a 4 bedroom house on 3 acres of land for $3,500 cash. The last time the house sold it went for $225,000 and it still looks exactly the same as it did in 1970

My advice is for everyone to stop being so excited about calling it a tiny home and just say it's a shed. You're just inviting the local township to be nosey and deny occupancy for permanent living. Put it on rural land outside of a burrough and keep quiet about your intentions. Use cash, not financing and stay off grid. Edit: seeing as how my comment set off a thread that went way off course, let me clarify I never said to lie, cheat or be sneaky, especially when it comes to taxes. My point is: too many people want to call a shell of a building a tiny home and in doing so embark on a series of disappointments. Buying the land, which ideally is in a rural area, is first and use cash for that. Of course the real estate transaction is recorded and you pay taxes. Then you build small or have a local shed builder deliver on site. They will handle the permit, if needed. Build on a slab or posts so it isn't considered a permanent foundation. You could finance something like that or use credit, cash or a combination. Again, you will pay property taxes on the structure as well. Over time finish the interior to your liking and don't go around telling the local zoning board or everyone else. Why would you? If you use portable power and collect water you won't need to have the building wired or plumbed. That way no one can say anything if they did inspect it. It's still considered a shed even if it has been insulated and drywalled. Whether you "live" there or not is no one's business and no one will care. I don't know why so many people act like this is impossible to do. I have done this twice since 2004 in rural Pennsylvania and the only thing that matters is that I pay the property taxes. There is no county office in our government that comes to see if I live there full time because that isn't a concern of any agency. Recreational use is recreational use for as long as you say it is so, again, stop calling it a tiny house and telling everybody it's your new home. That's just stupid.

Or… and hear me out, we could go back to when having a full time job was enough to afford living in a house and having healthcare and a 401k…

O.M.G.!!! This is a better tiny house than many (many!) I've seen that are "designer", the "tiny house of tomorrow ", etc. It has a full upstairs, a staircase, not some ladder that requires the agility of a monkey...it even has handrails! I would choose this over 90% of the others out there! This is great!!
