Converting a shed into a home
Hello my fellow steemians today i would like to discuss my conversion of a 12'x40' shed into a tiny home.
I started with just a simple wooden building. Completely hollow and empty.
This building is for only 2 people so it was enough. I drew up my plans to include 1 bedroom 1 bath and a walk in pantry
)
In the image above you can see the bath and pantry area. Because of restraints on our budget we had to move our stuff to the house. This wasnt much of an issue because i can work around the boxes. The pantry is 3' x 4' and the bathroom is 9'× 10' we havent finished with the bathroom yet because winter came in and halted a lot of the work.
In this image you can see the living room and the entrance to the bedroom. The bed room is 14' x12' and the remaining area is used as a connected living room and kitchen. Off screen we have a warm morning 150000 btu wood and coal burning stove designed for a 2800 sqft house. This was our solution to where to live while we gather logs to build our cabin. Because of this purpose we havent sank a lot of money into it. We have insulated to building using a combination of cardboard, paper, and curtains. As well as thick plastic. Wich yas actually help a lot in keeping the place warm during the winter.
We also had a ram pump installed in our creek but some wild pigs trampled it so i will have to build a new one i will also be building a simple water tower with a rain collection system which will gravity feed to the house
