Inside my L-shaped tiny home built for $10k from Lowe's sheds - it has two floors and even a bedroom
A MAN has constructed his own tiny home from two sheds and it comes with enough space for all the family, even multiple dogs.
People are beginning to get on the tiny home trend as a way of finding affordable and sustainable living without crippling mortgages.
TikToker Troy Ulshoeffer (@troyulshoeffer) and his wife saved a lot of money by visiting Lowe's instead of the realtor.
In one of his videos, Troy does a walk-through of his cozy home, showing viewers how to live minimalist.
The couple bought two sheds, one that is 20x10 and another at 12 x 10 from Lowe's.
The smaller shed is for a master bedroom that is connected to the main living space with a dog truck deck.

According to current Lowe's prices, the smaller shed size is available from $2,779.
Meanwhile, the larger one can be purchased for anywhere between $3,699 and $6,809.
From this, Troy and his wife may have paid around $10,000 for their property.
This budget would then increase to accommodate other necessities such as insulation, construction tools, land, permits, and utilities.

"My wife and I have transitioned this shed into a comfy cozy cabin-like home," the TikToker told his viewers.
The pair have lived there for over two years after Troy retired from his career in the Navy which spanned two decades.
The L-shaped home even comes with custom-built storage stairs with deep-well drawers, where the couple store their dry and canned foods.
An all-in-one washer and dryer can also be found underneath the stairs.
However, one of the most impressive features of the tiny home is that it comes with a loft.
While many people would assume that this space is essential for the couple to get away from each other or store other items, it is used for something entirely different.
The loft which has a wooden guard rail is an area specifically for their dogs.
One viewer pointed out that while the couple is living tiny, "the doggies are living large."
"That's where our dogs live. They have their own loft because they're more important than most people," Troy said.
The loft has a string of fairy lights, a large dog bed with toys, and even a salt-rock lamp.
The only item up there for the couple is their safe to keep valuables secure.
An aerial view from the loft shows the living area with a large two-person sofa and a wall-mounted television.
Under the loft, there is the kitchen and the bathroom with a toilet, storage space, and a shower.
A captain's door separates the living area from the bathroom for privacy.
The bathroom then leads out across the deck to the bedroom.
Both sheds are insulated so "it stays super cool in the summer and super warm in the winter," Troy said.
The room has a double bed, storage space, a charging station, and a television.
Viewers fell in love with the tiny home, with one person commenting: "I want one of these!!"

Another added: "This is freaking awesome, I can't wait till my kids grow up this is my plan! Awesome work brother..."
Meanwhile, other viewers are waiting for their area to change zoning laws in order to allow for tiny homes.
