Can you legally turn a commercial shed into a house?

[Xist]

I have about ten of those at Mom's friend's house. I would grab them now and promising to replace them the next time that she is out of the hospital, but all of the lumber is piled on it.

I need to move the shed 5' from the fences.

I used some flat pavers for my shed. The mower and other stuff in it don't complain.

Wow - 33 pages in this thread ??

So I know the answer is " It depends ", but in summary was the general concensus that the answer is " yea " , or " nea " ?

They have these sheds at my job.
Total crap.

I am one of the few people that could possibly live in a "tiny home " and not have too many gripes.
I would just add additional sheds on the property to store all my junk.

Tiny homes. Isn't that a fancy way of saying " lean-to shack " ?

Are single wide trailers taxed different than tiny homes ?
From what I'm told, the reason that tiny homes are not just glorified single wide trailer houses*, is the build quality.

But what advantage would a tiny home have over buying a trailrr house and basically building a house around it ( for example installing an actual home shower and toilet instead of trailer house junk. )
( *actually the single wide being much larger !)

Maybe. Maybe not.
A trailer like the Bowlus clone have insane build quality. Most are factory build to some level of quality. Tiny homes are typically self built and vary in their quality.

I live in 256sq ft*. It's a good size for a solitary person, IMHO, at 8ft wide (better than a recreational trailer at 7ft wide). But a 10x24, at 240sq ft would be more livable, and a 20ft circle at 314sq ft would be ideal.

*Plus carport with 10x10 shed. I just added a 6x8 lean-to for garden tools and junk.

Which shed? This thread is 9 pages long!

I would love to chat, but I need to make sure that my building supplies are covered, it is raining. I should also cover the friend's stuff, but they are sitting on the ground.

I think that I will rent a truck and put the supplies in Mom's locker so it can dry out.

I guess that I should have installed a trailer hitch when Scott suggested it.

[freebeard]

I'm pretty well covered, except for the Metro. With it, it's a tug-of-war between the rain and the pine needles.

I rented a van and loaded up the lumber, but left the masonry blocks. In theory I will be returning everything on Tuesday and Wednesday and finally build the ramp, but we will probably have aliens invade, a comet strike, or maybe organized mobs of monkeys will take over the city.

Sure, I could have loaded up the blocks, and moved the shed today, but that didn't seem like a good idea with damp grass and mud.

Yes, a subfloor. Well, maybe I'd rather use pier blocks and keep the floor above ground level to prevent excessive moisture on the soil to damage the shed.

Will you have to pay extra for a premium channel to see it?

I spent too long looking at the results of "diy shed subfloor" and zero actually had subfloors.

Do you have any examples?
