Seven Mistakes to Avoid When Converting a Shed into a Tiny House

from Better Together Homestead · host Beau & Kelly Brotherton

YOU WANNA CONVERT A SHED INTO A TINY HOUSE?? Don't make these mistakes.Today is a different kind of podcast.  I always wanted to add in this content within the first ten episodes of the podcast, because it has been extremely valuable for so many people over on YouTube.  So today's episode is for all of you that are wanting to convert a shed into a tiny house (or just a small house).And as a cheat sheet.... here is the list!!  (David Letterman style)7. Foundation! You should consider a true concrete Pier and Beam Foundation6. Caulk/Silicon EVERYWHERE! And also use canned spray foam when necessary.5. Moisture Control. Get bathroom vents, and use a Dehumidifier!!!!4. Deadwood. You gotta have it, too much to explain here in text. 😂3. Don’t Get In Over Your Head! When in doubt, hire out your rough plumbing and electrical. There is still lots of work you can do to save money and learn new skills.2. Budget 20% Increase of your estimated costs. This could easily be 25-30%!!! The thing will always take longer than you think, and cost way more!!!1. INSULATION!!!! Specifically, spray foam insulation. Don’t skimp on this, so many people have said that they regret not going spray foam. Don’t let that happen to you! Thanks for listening!  Please leave a comment or Direct Message us on our social media platforms below.Beau's Instagram:  @bettertogetherlifeKelly's Instagram:  @bettertogetherwifeYoutube:  YouTube.com/bettertogetherlifeShed to House:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/861266740676044/Website:  bettertogetherlife.comIncome|Expense Report:  http://bettertogetherlife.com/reportEssential Oils?:  http://www.bettertogetherlife.com/oils/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/bettertogetherlife)
