The Newbys are an amazing family who spent years traveling the globe and finally settled in Portugal where they are building their dream homestead. One of their projects was transforming a dilapidated shed into a guest room/office — and the timelapse below shows the entire process!

They thought the project would only take a couple of weeks, but it ended up being a multi-month endeavor — but the results are totally worth it. What do you think of this conversion?

VIDEO: From dilapidated store room to luxury Tiny House FULL BUILD

Highlights

• The video documents the journey of a family moving into their tiny house.
• The tiny house project started with the removal of the old roof and the installation of larger windows for better natural light.
• The roof replacement was a significant challenge due to the reinforced cement beams. The decision was made to remove the entire roof and the cement beams to create the envisioned space.
• The tiny house was designed with a wooden interior rather than cement.
• The house includes a bed, a living area, and a kitchen. It also has roof windows for additional light and views.
• The video shows the process of painting the interior of the house, which required multiple coats.
• The family also built a porch for the tiny house, which involved digging holes for the porch poles and installing the doors.
• The tiny house is also the family’s new office.
• The video ends with a tour of the completed tiny house, which includes a mirror, hooks, and other finishing touches.
• Future projects for the family include irrigation around the farm, making pickles and chutneys, farming, building tree houses, and renovating houses.
