We build a TINY HOUSE in 10 weeks😳  OFFGRID Shed Living part 2

All right who's ready for this hey? I'm going to take you in and well give you the big reveal mate of the new shouse. Anyway it's big news it's big news come in the miso is cooking me a coffee. In we go through the front doors let's spin around for the first time have a look dear. Welcome to the new abode what do you reckon? All right come in here it's only day two and the kids can't help themselves so we're going to let them go nuts hey? What do you reckon? Yeah go for go for it kid. Phase one hey you've got to destruct the old stuff but there's no insulation behind it so from what I can gather we're going to put we're going to put some pink bats or something in behind there um do some proper insulation so it'll actually be nice and cool through this summer so it does get pretty hot up here so we're going to do it properly. Stage two mate or stage three or stage four I don't even know we've been working flat out for two and a half days and we have gained so much work now we're going to extend this dam had this stupid little pond with a pipe through it into the big section and it just this was just gross so we're just going to dig it out and make it one big dam. There is a pipe in there we're going to try and get out maybe reuse somewhere else but it'd be super nice down here kind of be like a jelly bean shaped resort dam what do you reckon about that and spoon drain look at this oh yes I reckon we'll get get some grass seeds soon and I'll seed all this and then get the pump going we'll water it for the next week or so just so if we do get some rain it doesn't wash all the dirt away but anyways it's coming together two tiny little machines just absolutely drilling this block I think it helps the dirt like there's not much rock in it it seems really hard but it's digging super soft so it's really it's good for his earth moving here yeah anyway there you go I've never seen a resort style dam before but first time for everything what's this? It's a new boxy. Doesn't look like a caravan does it? I um you know what I thought a box trailer would be so readily accessible and we'd just buy one second hand well blow me down there's none anywhere and the ones that they do like the ones on for second hand are like a couple hundred bucks off full price anyway I went and seen a trailer shop and there you go got a trailer you don't get much for your money hey like it's a brand new trailer and they're a couple of grand and it's really um I'm not real happy with it but it's all you can get and we're going to need one while we're here just forgetting all this stuff building equipment running around picking up trees and sticks and then to hire one here it's a hundred bucks a day so I'd soon rack up a bill with needing a trailer anyway ladder insulation citronella oil got a whipper snipper what else a few other things it's been an expensive day but we can't do any of this without it so let's get into it wow it's noisy out there all right this is stage one of our concrete floor covering uh we've decided to do epoxy flooring first step is to thoroughly clean this concrete it's all moldy out there so the kids are on the gurney and the blower inside should be all right we'll have to gurney it all get it nice and clean then we'll have to acid wash it then we'll have to let it dry then we can paint it anyway it's a bit of a process but it's probably our cheapest and most viable option for a good floor in this little shack pretty satisfying isn't it it feels weird on your hands like fuzzy all right we've only got one two three big sprays to go that's all you don't watch this already i'll write my name in it all right hey before um we get this epoxy underway this week i'm going to give the whole shed a good blast so sugar soap in the little um gurney and then i'm going to gurney the whole lot down the roof the walls the floors get it prepped to do an acid wash for um epoxy floors we'll show you more of that when we get the paint but you kind of want to you've got to get it all clean first so we thought we might as well just do the whole thing we've emptied everything out today stripped all the old insulation off and uh we're we're just cleaning and um it makes it even feel like a bigger job when it's wet be like this but we'll get there we'll get there we're going to use an epoxy um which seems to be the best thing to do it's going to be hard wearing durable pretty easy to put down and cost effective so what we did we went to bunnings and grabbed um whatever their off the shelf kits are these ones now um they're 225 bucks each so we've had to buy two to go in here and another one for the outside so it's still going to still like what's that seven hundred and something dollars just for paint then we had to get buckets rollers brushes dinners that sort of stuff and then we're going to roll out a meter at a time with a roller and becky's going to follow along and be the flake master this could be disastrous mate who cares it's just a shed i know that's what i reckon i'm like whatever if we bugger it so what sit there while i tell you just how beautiful you look tonight as if you haven't heard me say it about a hundred times you shake your head and look away i promise that i've tried my hardest to let go of this but every time i think about a fall without you my life become had an epic file mate i have no idea what the hell went wrong but about i don't know two minutes after putting it down look at what's happened what is that the whole floor has freaking bubbles on it that brings me around to my hot tip for this episode don't get justin and beck to epoxy your shed floors um yeah we're not that great at it hey go on there so after some mad googling we figured out that you can just go over with a roller so we're doing that and the bubbles are coming out thankfully oh my god anyway she's done it will be good after all it's just a shed floor what's happened oh dear the bloody pole snapped and i can't stop or it'll all go off now i gotta finish it off on my knees far out got a weed whacker end on it a couple hours mate all harnessed up like a transformer set of air pods what are you listening to a bit of jackpot's radio yeah you look like a transformer called optimus all right do any kids out there know optimus i used to watch it so you reckon rooster yeah yeah we're gonna get this dirty old dog out of here have a look at that it's a big one all right you reckon that's gonna hold no that's coming through nicely got it out never a doubt mate they've only got one battery in it come find the other battery it's in the drill he's telling me how he knows how to use it there's no batteries in it take two rooey yep just wait see if it's gonna work morning it's day three with the digger here i'm probably getting a bit carried away but while he's here i just got him to dig some trenches so i don't have to do it check it what we're gonna do it's gonna be pretty cool it's like a little bit pimp my yard style right but i'm gonna run some power down to some floodies have some like outdoor flood lights in these trees facing up and down down the driveway and then while we're at it we had to come up past the old power and water line so i'm putting a t-piece in the pump line and then i can run another big hose or another big pipe up to this tree then we'll not only have a tap up here we can also pump water if we ever want to get a bit of black plastic and slide into the dam you can pump water up here just by switching the pump on and a tap on up here so yeah there we go can you imagine if you had to dig that trench with a shovel oh that that's the old days yeah that would be awful literally bobby did it in his digger in about 45 minutes he did like 80 meters of trench he's a gun anyways moment of truth for the pump set up here it is the pipe was already in the ground i'm gonna run it off of jenny got the pick up in the dam i just don't know where that goes i'm just guessing that it goes to the shed but we'll see how we go hopefully all my joins don't leak water everywhere all right let's get into it it's alive hey all right last job on the list is to clear a track up through the back of the bush we've got 100 meters of bush behind us we want to try and find a house pad up here so we've got the posi track in here drill on a little track out it's real pretty in here right a lot of like natural plants like our natives and a little creek that runs down here when it's raining lots of bush rock and that so i'll get up ahead and mark out a trail for bobby mate this man deserves a beer hey if ever a man deserved a beer mate it's you right now how good hey you would think a machine with 100 hours on it was going through the bush just nice that's like less than an hour's work we've pushed like probably 400 meters of track i'm stoked hey that's so cool it's epic deserve that there's a few scratches on it now all right who's ready to come and see the shouse 10 weeks mate solid and we're nearly there we're nearly there come inside i'll get back to give you a tour around the joint look at this oh she's cooking up a coffee how are we i'm good oh this actually looks amazing through the camera oh really it is amazing what are you talking about i know well there you go give everyone a tour dude this is our lovely oh my god how cute is it this is our 10 week build this is crazy yes it is insane actually we literally like built a house essentially like we had the bare bones of the shed here and then we've done this inside so super happy with how it came up and we did everything really budget conscious but it did blow out because yeah that is another story that is anyway whatever it costs what it costs these days you have to spend the money you can't do it really on the cheap because nothing is cheap anymore no anyway where do you want to start because let's do this i've um what i will do well i've probably already thrown it in but i've like throw a bit of old footage you know what it looked like around the joint while we did all this and how bloody different it looks but um i don't know we really like it i love it like absolutely love it it's still like tiny but yeah it's a whole lot bigger than what a caravan is so it's um it's very very comfortable for us it's very cute anyway let's start bec you do it i'll follow you around you start in the bedroom end and we'll walk this way to that way okay so we put in these amazing barn style doors um we ended up getting the timber tops from bunnings and then we just bought the the barn barn door kit i know a lot of people are going to ask me that so that's why i've said it but come on in this is justin and my room um just put in a queen size bed we're yet to kind of basically deal with that needs to come out but we can't find a window that fits so we gotta we gotta try and do that anyway bec's little wardrobe yeah set of drawers and away we go kids room kids still a work in progress isn't it we uh haven't quite got to paint in this room yet but we will get there but what we went with is just two um double bunks basically so we've got four four beds it's perfect it's good there you go a couple of sets of drawers in there room for the kids and swing around and show them the lovely kitchen dining lounge living everything else this is so weird for us because normally we like literally have this space in our caravan so to have all this space to like spread out in the kitchen is amazing but this is a flat pack kitchen would you believe it you know how over flat packs i am yes just we'll never do another one but oh my god and this oven was already left here so we just painted it up same with this fridge actually we ended up just painting them so kind of like upcycled and we've got our lovely dining area here i mean our lounge area here and this does the island doubles as our food prep and our kitchen table we've got some kitchen stools here so this is yeah like basically our dining table as well and then we just got like a three-seater sofa because that was basically all we could fit in here but it kicks out your bed yes sofa so any friends and family want to come and stay we've got a sofa and yeah it's just nice and cozy little space here i love it i love being able to all four of us can four people can fit on the couch everyone on the big bag it's really it's really cozy let's talk doors don't leave without the doors oh my god the amazing door so imagine this initially well they were roller doors which the roller doors are behind this bulkhead here which is pretty cool so when we go away we can pull them down and keep it nice and secure in here but these amazing big stackers were really important because living in queensland it gets quite warm so it'd be nice to have these nice and open in the summertime and let the breeze come through and there's three screens there as well so you keep them midget proof out and then this one should just change it up just an entry door two windows with screens um yeah it's just good what an aspect looking out there i know it is really beautiful and you wait for later we'll show the footage and the sun goes down right here and literally our kitchen glows it is absolutely stunning and all the kangaroos are down there so it's really nice just sitting in here and taking in that it is i'll quickly give you a rundown what we did out here literally just put insulation in that awning uh then put battens in it and um put ply on the roof and put some down lights in it on a dimmer so it just tidies it up and from the inside it looks wicked there's the roller doors actually you can still see them there uh yeah but that's just ply and i've just got to go through and um put like a clear coat of varnish on that to stop the weather getting to it but that's it all right let's go let's go to our laundry slash storage room what are you doing there are you getting food as usual coffee of course yes this is our little coffee nook that was obviously really important to us to have a little space because we love our coffee so there you go coffee nook one thing what are we a bit short on do you reckon coffee beans food storage oh yeah so what what we're going to do is in this corner here we're going to get a big pantry and yeah that's going to be more storage for us so that that will come it will come but anyway big timber entry oh yes this is beautiful is it red gum i have no idea we found a local timber mill really nice he does it so cheap you just send him the measurements what you want and he cuts whatever you want yeah now this room is a bit of a still a work in progress but i'll show you the most amazing thing of all here's my washer and dryer how good is that oh no did i just turn it off i think i did but oh my god this is oh i've missed a washing machine this is an eight kilo one it's just amazing and then round here i'll put a couple of big benches in for beck yes we still got we won't show you there's a lot of crap under there but and a nice big window so you can fold your washing and look out there it's really nice so yeah this is going to be like my yeah just storage laundry bench sort of thing do the washing store the kids stuff our school stuff when we eventually come back here and pop them back in school yeah so we've kept up we've got coro ceiling um a couple of fans and down lights we've run all pendant lights off here and a bit of hardwood and then we've continued that through here we've got a coro roof all the way into the piece de resistance my dear what is that oh and okay so initially i did see this on pinterest you know why it's kind of been inspired by outback bathrooms we've seen on our travels we have seen a lot of corrugated iron bathrooms on our travels so when i seen that and from our travels and things i was like holy heck i have to do that so and and we have a shortage on vj so it was a sign that we had to do a coro bathroom so come on in this is our cute little bathroom justin actually made this bench top this is from the wood guy yeah yeah it's part of the fence posts and the skins from the tinder mill and i just got this mirror like from kmart is there's anything you want to know if you've seen that you want to know where it's from or how we did it just drop it in the comments below because we're happy to answer but oh yeah this is it a toilet a flashing toilet so we got lucky there was already well there was a toilet here and a septic set up one there yeah there was what didn't look as fancy as this so we just kind of we've done a full reno and this is our beautiful bathroom shower yeah yeah we just we are going to put a glass shower screen on here but we sort of run out of money at the moment and i need to get one made to fit from here to here but anyway it's really nice though i can tell you one thing that i'll never do again is toilet yeah
