How to Build a Tiny House Home Office! (Watch in 1.5X speed)

Hi, guys. Have you run out of space in your home? Do you need a new office in which to loom from?

Like I did? What, um, I want to show you guys today is how we built a tiny house on our property.

Here is the finished product. That's where I'm sitting right now. You can see my background behind me, but I wanted to walk you through what we did to build this out.

Let's do it. First things first, you're going to want to find yourself a handy family member or a friend. This is my dad.

Shout out to Scott, Mr. Fixit, who can build anything and help to bring this to life for me. Next thing you're going to want to do is make a list of your materials.

Here's my list here. If you are actually serious about building this, please reach out to me. I would be happy to kind of give you this list and walk you through in a more detailed level how we did it.

Next thing you're going to want to do is build a plan. So these were the foundation plans that we built out.

You can see we've got the area in the back where the actual tiny house sits, and the area in the front, which is where the d*** sits.

Next thing you're going to want to do is order your materials, make your life easier, and have it delivered. I found a great decking store near me.

So they had everything I needed and they gave me a lot of tips on how to complete this project. Okay.

Also, you're going to want to get yourself a good building inspector. Very important to make sure that everything is done correctly.

This was mine. He was three years old. He did a great job. All right, next up, plan A. That's a bad hairstyle.

Let's just put that right there. Plan A, start digging holes in your yard and then quickly realize that is dumb and pivot to plan B, where you rent tools and have some more capable folks complete the project.

So this is called an Auger. You can rent it from Home Depot. And we had to build holes 2ft deep.

And, um, what was kind of unique about our particular space is it is severely sloped. So you can see the stakes in the ground.

You can see the string here. And that is actually how high off the ground my tiny house is in the back.

It's like 3ft off the ground and the front is on the floor. So dig those holes. Get yourself a tool.

It'll make your life a little bit easier. Okay, uh, now you can see we started putting the joists down in the ground with I think these are four x sixes of wood, uh, treated lumber that we are using to fill those holes.

And you can see now the outline for a frame. Our holes are currently not, uh, filled yet with concrete. Here's a little place for you.

I don't know if you guys can hear this on the loom, but here's what we had so far. Looking good on our frame.

Lots of concrete. Whole pallet concrete. Do uh yourself a favor and get the kind that you do not have to pre mix.

This is awesome. You just pour the dry concrete into those holes you dug and fill it with water. Quick set concrete more expensive, but it's going to make your life a lot easier.

And here it is. Once we put the decking and material on, that's what it looks like. Next thing we did was we ordered a shed from tough shed.

So this is the actual structure itself. This is what it looks like inside. When it comes to you, it just has the two x fours and not uh, even the insulation.

So that's the next step is you're going to want to have both your ceiling and your walls. You can see all my electrical that went in here.

You are going to want to have that. All, let's go back. Where are we here? Having some duplicates. There we go.

Get everything drywalled. So that's what it looks like. We had the drywalling done and we had the flooring done. This is a video talking about how we had to have the electrical run.

That was perhaps the hardest part because we had to run it 500ft to go all this way around the yard.

So that was probably the biggest part of the project. We did not do that ourselves. There's some flooring that we picked out.

We went with the trucks. And this was an old chloe that I found at a thrift shop. And I refinished it.

Made it look super pretty. And this was moving day. Started putting my furniture in there's a finished product on the outside and on the inside.

Thanks. And if you want to build your own tiny house, do let me know. I would love to chat with you about how to make um, that happen for yourself.
