Eric Matson had tiny houses in mind when he and his wife approached Home Depot staff about turning a Tuff Shed into a second home.

Since the “Tuff Shed guy” was at the store, Matson said he and his wife viewed base models and asked if the Denver-based company — which operates a factory in Medford — could extend the overhang, add insulated windows, 2-by-6 exterior walls, a paint job and a gable fence.

The result is the 1,224 square-foot two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-story structure at 216 Macken Avenue, which was completed in December 2023. Matson said he paid a total of $140,000.
