We are a family of 4 converting two sheds (44ft x 16ft) & (36ft x 16ft) into a “dogtrot” style home for the start of a homesteading self-sufficient journey. This video will include some of the ins and outs of the “dogtrot” style design on our Derksen shed conversion. Why did we do it? A “dogtrot” or breezeway home is a house with a porch in the middle. This is done to create a breezeway in the middle of the home to help create comfortable outdoor space in warmer climates. Most often the house is separated into two separate parts, one being sleeping quarters and the other being kitchen and living. With the rising electricity cost and the potential to create an energy efficient home, we felt this was an idea that we had to take from our ancestors here in the south.
