A HOMEOPER explained how he lives without bills in a detached house he built in an old warehouse.

Justin and his wife, Daniell, live isolated in a small house in Oklahoma.

The YouTuber teaches others about starting an off-grid lifestyle.

On his channel (@oklahomaoffgrid), he shared a video explaining how he eliminated all his bills when he moved into the small house.

“The electricity is free, the water is free and my house is paid for!” he said.

It all started with an $8,000 shed that he converted into a house.

It resembles a studio, with a large bed in the center, a kitchen with an oven and stove and an unfinished bathroom.

All power comes from the solar panels Justin has in his backyard.

They are connected to eight batteries that he keeps in a closet that powers the entire house.

The house has a giant water tank that collects rainwater from the roof, which the couple uses for everything in their house.

“I’m in trouble and no water line is running that far,” he said.

Justin hopes sharing videos about his daily life will inspire others to “quit their job and buy a shed.”

HOUSE ABOUT IT

Another homeowner converted a $15,000 warehouse from The Home Depot into a tiny two-story home.

TikToker Ty (@tyheemrose) added a wraparound porch to the house to make it more traditional and painted it light gray.

He said the kitchen is “not the biggest” but “very functional” for him and his wife.

“He gets the job done and that’s all that really matters,” he said in his video.

Ty’s favorite part of the house is the upstairs bedroom.

“When you go up to our little house, it feels like an Airbnb,” he said.

“Very comfortable, very cozy.”

One of the most surprising aspects of the tiny house is that it has a pool.

Out front is a fenced-in pool where Ty, his wife and their pups can relax and cool off on hot days.
