Minimalist lifestyle endorsed by the hard left. "You will own nothing and be happy." The state will probably foreclose for back due property taxes.

So I guess the moral of this story is to be irresponsible and live beyond your means, but if you do this according to this TikTok video, all will be forgiven and everything will be okay?

Good for them.
They realized they were in over their head and took the steps to get on a path of financial responsibility and freedom. And paid off their obligations instead of just filing bankruptcy. |

Good for them but the eye of Sauron is about to focus on their tiny home and how it’s permitted.

On a septic yes, but not required or enforced on structures. I know a guy that builds a cabin very similar to that for people. Builds the hell out of them. Many as hunting or weekend cabins but quite a few as homes. |

I mean kinda cool. Some people here are gonna bash them but they bought something that's not on their parents land, made a shed work for a house and sold it for a profit.
What’s to hate outside of you not doing that? They also paid off their debts and didn’t do so by declaring BK meaning no tax payer burden known. |

There has to more to the story. That had to put another 100k or so building that full kitchen, wood floors, walls, etc in that "shed".

Those things are only $20-30k, but it's just the structure. You'll need a foundation, insulation, electrical, plumbing, flooring, sheetrock, paint, etc. |

Yeah the tiny homes HD sells are just basic frameworks. You have to add insulation, drywall, plumbing, tile/floor, electric, etc.
Still, good on them. |

If you're really really rural, sure. But the tax man cometh for your shed now because you had to get you some 'views'. If you'd kept your mouth shut, you'd have been able to keep enjoying it.
It's just a matter of time now before you see people renting sheds in their yards to people. Then none of will be able to have a shed, at least not without 'inspections' to make sure that there's no income. Fuck, this country is swirling in the toilet. We're not free at all, and it happened at the local level. |

Quoted: A Georgia couple gave up a 2,000-square-foot home for an 860-square-foot Home Depot shed. 860 square feet isn't bad for a couple, even with a couple small kids. People forget those 1950's single floor ranch homes with 3 bedrooms and one bath that were about that size. |

This must be the shed model in question or at least close to it:
 a TWO STORY Home Depot Tuff Shed Conversion (YOU CAN LIVE IN!!) Looks like less crappy of construction than I would have expected from anything you buy at Home Depot which is a plus. |

Back when High schools had shop classes, they build and sold small
houses. There are a few in my town. I've heard no complaints about them. I have been inside one and it seemed decent enough for a single guy. The owner was an older guy. |

860 square feet is not a "shed". I have yet to see a shed that big in any Home Depot. There are nice condos and smaller homes smaller than that in square feet. I am done believing any people do this without gaining some sort of fame after letting the local news source telling them their plight. People these days want the money and think their 10 minutes of fame will make them rich.

Good for them. Didn't see how much they banked selling the old house but must of made a boat load to spend $40,000 on land, the tiny home, and to fix up the tiny home.
Notice they sold the "shed" and land for a profit and built a new home on a new property. Sounds like they are heading back where the started .

Quote HistoryQuoted: And it passed code inspection? Why not if all finish work was done to code? The only code failure i ever saw was a man who built his own lake house. Built it as a retirement home in his spare time. . His only mistake was 24" center framing. He had to rip out the sheetrock and piecemeal fix it with 16" center framing. Once he'd corrected that, insurance company reinspected and gave the green light. An older friend of mine needed a smaller, easier to clean home for he and his wife for retirement. He bought a larger single story "shed" as a core. Added two add on rooms, a porch, back deck, wired, plumbed, rocked and finished out. All 1200 sq ft tied under a new roof. Actually turned out nice. Small, but big enough for the pair. He sold his other place on the lake and they live in the new one now. Good timing, too. He was disabled in a car wreck not long after he completed it. |
