I am building one out of a stick built backyard shed. It is a work in progress, but here is what I have learned: Advantech for the sub-floor is a must. It costs just a little more, but is super resistant to water and rot. Spray foam insulation or use the 4 x 8 sheets of solid foam insulation in between the rafters. Regular batting style insulation is great in the walls. I chose paneling for the walls instead of drywall for easy cleaning(I used a nice pine beadboard style painted off white) I also used it directly on the rafters for the ceiling or a vaulted ceiling, making my space seem so much bigger!! I built a set of full size bunk beds into the wall, so I have space for grandkids or guests to stay over. I hope this helps you!! I just happened on this page and I don't know for sure how to get back to it. If I do, I'll post more of my progress :) Good luck.....oh yeah...watch "Tiny House Nation" and "Tiny House, Big Living"

Anna a granny pod is a shed that is all yours.. you decorate it to your liking.. paint .. pillows.. books .. a comfy chair.. a lovely light.. things that you enjoy.. kinda like a man cave.

if the shed is floorless now, you could lay patio blocks and cover with the interlocking rubber mats, that's what I put in the she-shed I built for my wife, it had a concrete floor. I used 2" styrofoam panels for the insulation, hire a plumber for the bathroom it's not something a novice should attempt, check for building permits. My wife is still decorating the inside, it will be our go to the movies getaway. lol
