We're SO Close... $3,000 Tiny House Is Almost Done

What's up everyone I'm Stephen Harrell with Tiny House Listings and we're back out at the $3,000 tiny house today and we're trying to rent, well when I say we I mean me, trying to finish things up just to get it to Mountain Haven and there's so many other things to work on. I own Tiny House Listings which is a full-on business unto itself and I own a tiny house community. I own other things as well and so all that takes a lot of time and this is taking a lot of time so I'm ready to be done with it and make it available to people who need a tiny house to stay in temporarily or long term or whatever happens to be. So if this is the first video you've seen in this series just a quick recap this is a tiny house that I bought off Facebook Marketplace and it was also listed on Tiny House Listings but I've anyways made the sale through Facebook Marketplace and the people are asking $9,000 and I purchased the shell for $3,000. So ever since we or I have been finishing the exterior and finishing the interior with the goal of letting you know or showing you firsthand how you can build a tiny house very affordably even if you have limited skills. So I really did a lot of work quite a bit of work but I didn't really follow along in the video because I just wanted to knock it all out but as you can see we painted an accent wall. We painted all the walls. We put the ceiling in which is just raw OSB. We may finish that later or I may keep it as is. Don't know. It's a very unfinished look but it still works. Over here we put a little accent wall. This will be a kitchen area and I happen to have some of these tiles left over from another used tiny house that I purchased which will later on be going to Mellon Haven and I'll show you guys that in another video but those are some tiles left over so I thought it'd be kind of cool. I need to trim it out a little bit and you can see we've or I keep saying we have put in all the electrical outlets. Still wiring up a few things as you can see. Painted all the windows. Over here on this wall will be a TV. So when you're laying down here we're gonna put a I'm gonna put a full-size bed here. It will be basically like a platform and you'll be able to lay down and watch the TV there if you want. Still haven't decided where I'm gonna do the seating and what that's gonna look like but kitchen area will be over there and also have a full-size or an apartment size fridge that'll be going over there in the corner somewhere as well. I haven't fully figured out the layout. Bit of a mess because you can see we got some paint or I have some paint things that I need to clean up and the wheel wells are kind of very unfinished so I'm gonna finish those off as well and sometime in August this will be headed to Mountain Haven. So when I go to Mountain Haven in August I have a few more cabins that have been there since I think the 80s and I'm gonna revamp those and bring this there and then also maybe bring another tiny house that I have a blue in which I'll show you in upcoming videos and all of those will be a Mountain Haven and be available for people who want to look tiny. So the current total in this tiny house given that I had a lot of materials already like the electrical a lot of the siding old plywood all that we're up to about $3,800 so I paid $3,000 they're asking mine again just for the shell and I finished off the interior and did all this for about $3,800. The way I was able to keep price down is because for one I had a lot of leftover material so that's kind of cheating if you're looking at this video and you're thinking I want to do something similar maybe you don't have a lot of leftover materials but what you can do is go on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist or you can even swing by construction sites and look in the dumpster and see if there's anything in there that people will let you take to add your materials now is your tiny house going to be a lot more eclectic looking if you do that absolutely but sometimes if you pull it off right it makes it have even more character than just a regular tiny house could that's all about personal taste but having built over 200 homes with my company tiny house listings I can tell you all these materials the door for example that's a $600 door new these windows $300 each the siding or the interior siding here would have been probably close to six or seven hundred bucks the trailer four or five thousand so if you buy used and if that's something you're willing to do you could absolutely save a lot of money when this tiny house is brought to Mountain Haven and it's fully furnished and set up and we have the deck out front and all that we'll also be shooting another video kind of a final tour to show you what it looks like when it's done especially if you're someone who's been following along in this series the entire time which by the way thank you anyways the risk of rambling I'm going to stop the video here and we'll be doing another one next week where hopefully I finish it up so anyways thanks for watching see the next video
