How much to have wood foundation layed for a tiny house?

[cheez]

I understand exactly what you're going through because I've been there. But you're making decisions without the correct information. You're making assumptions that have no basis in reality. That's not going to end well.
If you're sold on the tiny house idea then pursue it logically. Find out where you can put it, find out how much to rent or lease the land, find out how much to get utility's to the location. Then you can buy the house.
I honestly don't see how you can make any of this work because it appears you don't have any assets. I also don't know the extant of your situation. You apparently have a job, and it appears that you have little to no concept of how to manage your money.
No one here can solve your problems for you, this is something you're going to have to do yourself.

Thank you Greenman for trying to help. I was thinking about landing my tiny house on your backyard (if you don't live too far away from me) but I think I'm going to forget about the tiny house there is too much complication with the land and permits. I need to some how get rid of my car and use my bicycle to commute.. This way I can freely move into the wilderness and set a camp there. This will take much of burden away from me cause I'll only have to worry about my credit card bill and pay off my pastdue electric bills and such.

I think Greenman's back yard is an excellent idea. You should follow up on that.

They charge inmates for their stays so he owes the county money for that now too as well as all his other times in jail.

They what now?!

Sorry to hear about your stepsons problems btw, hope he works them out somehow.

I don't think my back yard is a great idea. There is a homeless shelter a few miles away where I'm sure he'd be welcome.

Getting rid of your car is easy, stop making the payments, the bank will take care of everything from there. The same goes for your utility bills, just don't pay them. Bankruptcy appears to be your one viable option, use it. File the papers, go to court, and walk away from bills you can't pay. Yes, your credit score will tank, but it's not like you plan on buying a new house this year. You could even go right off the deep end and live with your parents so you can continue to squander your income on expensive luxury's that don't improve your life at all.
If you do decide to live in the woods, how are you going to continue trolling here?

Greenman you're mean i was just kidding about landing my tiny house on your backyard. I was not trolling as i really needed some help/suggestion on tiny house living due to my ongoing financial difficulties.

Here are some things Jesus wanted me to pursue on:
- Buy a tiny house (around $5000)
- Lease a land (around $100/mo)
- Use concrete piers to support the tiny house as foundation

Jesus wants me to do the foundation myself so I said ok. I guess I can purchase the piers and get a drill and shovel.
Jesus confirmed to me which tiny house to get and found me a location for leasing a land.

Here is the video of using concrete piers to secure the tiny house. It starts at 1:35 mark..

...wat? How can you be sure it isn't the Devil playing those tricks again?

I would think that the space under the floor of a pier-supported tiny house would be the perfect place for the Devil to live. cheez, you might find a slab foundation more your type, though it is more difficult to move when the land owner requests you move to a different land.

Any chance you could talk Jesus into lending you a few bucks? Or giving you the winning lottery numbers?

Gotta discern the spirit. If we tune in our body mind and spirit we'll know if it's Jesus or the devil. If Holy spirit lives in us then it's much easier to hear or feel him. I tried looking for cheaper apartments and he didn't seem to like that. He confirmed to me over and over that he wants me to go with a tiny house. Same with the land. But when I tried to sign up for house and land he said "NOOOOO" so I had to back off. For some reason he doesn't want me to start just yet. I guess there are something else to take care of before moving forward.

I did ask Jesus for money before. He did help me a few times with the money but he won't let me get a nice job. He did get me out of deep troubles though, like preventing me from getting kicked out of my apartment. Unfortunately God doesn't give us what we want. He gives us what he wants for us.

gotta be rough going through life like that: no power over your own life and livelihood, wholly dependent on the petty whims of bronze-aged deities.

I take umbrage at the term "petty". Other than that, I'm right behind you.

well according to OP, they are advising him to live a miserable life and make poor choices for no real benefit to him; but for them, presumably, amusement.

I call that petty.

I'm not sure how far down the metaphysical path I want to go here, as there isn't an end in sight.

If a god wishes you to suffer, then be done with that god. Lessons can be learned from suffering, and mere stupidity: fine. I am well experienced in this department. I have no problem with this.

But if "god voices" in your head are telling you to suffer when the clear alternative option is objectively superior for your current station in life, and happiness, and learning, and future potential, then that god is an asshole. Screw that god. It has no use in this world.

That's all based on being able to tell whats a blessing and whats a curse. The answer isn't always what we think it is.

zinfamous - no that's not true. Jesus and his Father don't just sit there in the throne room and laugh at us for having pain and suffering. They cry for us, even the saints in heaven. Jesus loves you more than you can possibly imagine. He wants all of us to come to him. The pain and suffering is given to God's kingdom as fast offering but it is not required to enter heaven.

How deep do I need to dig the ground to plant the concrete piers for foundation for my tiny house? I don't know how to do that.

 

[snoopy7548]

I'd probably go down 6-10', but city/county code will likely dictate that.

DO NOT DIG INTO THE GROUND!!!

That's where Hell is.

Have you considered a yurt?

Amen.

With your strong faith your foundation will be solid. "They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built." - Luke 6:48

The fine folks here give of their knowledge freely. Heed it. "Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future." - Proverbs 19:20

"Streamline sheep fall from the skies and nest in trees" - MdM 4:20

Might look at a website like this.
https://jamaicacottageshop.com/shop/20x30-cabin-2/

These timber construction Cabin plans come pre-cut and ready to assemble. I looked at this and it did not seem right for me. Timber construction might be overkill for a simple 1 story shed-like building.

I noticed you can buy them without siding material rather unfinished. These are not cheap but they have some pricing.

Might watch some of these shows:

If you are going to live in a building, you need a set of plans, water lines, electrical lines and sewer lines in most residential areas. They do make composting toilets as an option ??? Living in a building also requires some windows and air flow.

There is always using a garage.
