Are you looking for a little extra room in your house, maybe a guest room for friends when they stay over or just somewhere extra to chill out in, well look no further - Amazon is selling a guest house you can build in your own back garden in just 1 day!
The $6,550 tiny house can be turned into a studio, pool house, an office, or a place for guests and has a floor space of 172 sq ft (16 square metres). It even has an outdoor deck area, which can have a grill added for outdoor barbecues. Wonderful!
The Amazon website explains:
“The Solvalla garden house kit is made from high quality solid Nordic wood. This timeless design is an alternative to classic log cabin styled structures. It works well in a variety of surroundings and can be a guesthouse, home office, granny flat, or even a retail space. Versatile Solvalla can also be set up on rooftops of multi-story buildings. Assembly of this solid wood structure takes a full day for two adults. Do it yourself simple step-by-step directions come with the kit and only minimal tools are needed.”
While it says it takes a full day to build, you will probably need a friend to help you put together the 1125kg / 2480 lbs structure as it comes pre-packed in separate pieces (complete with instructions). The construction doesn’t require any specialist knowledge or tools though you will have to buy your own foundation materials and shingles for the roof. Oh, and the shipping is free.
The great thing about the build is that even though it doesn’t have plumbing, heating or electricity, these can be added – though if you are going to do this, you should really have professional assistance, after all you don’t want to injure yourself or damage something you have just spent over $6,000 dollars on. You will probably need to hire a pro for an afternoon to lay the foundations and roofing as well.
What this does mean though, is that it can be added to a home as a real extension not simply an outdoor structure that can only be used in the summer season. You have just got to have a bit of imagination and you can create a super cost-effective extra square footage to your home.
While last time we checked the house was out-of-stock, Amazon will be refilling their stocks soon and with shipping in just 3 to 5 weeks, you can have your home up and running for the rest of the summer if you get your hands on one now. We certainly can’t think of a less expensive way to add a whole new dimension to your home living.
