anyone build cabins?
i dont suppose we got too many amish on board, do we?
before i get too far into this, let me be totally transparant, if this plan ever comes to fruition it may very well not be for several years
now, having said that, here is my thought...id like to build a cabin
we have family come over quite a bit, and like to host people in general so i thought it would be really cool if i could build what would basically amount to a guest cabin
it wil be totally on grid, so i would want to run electric to it, hook it up to the water line and tie the sewage into my septic system
(i will check with the town if im allowed to build one, and then check with my plumber to see if what i want where i want it would be possible)
if i can put it where i want it would sit behind our house with the long side facing the pond
what i would want to build would be a basic 12x24 (figured that would make sheathing easy) with a small deck, maybe 6 foot deep of the front
i was thinking of going with 8 foot walls and this general lay out
i figured i could leave the kitchen and living room area open and put a loft over the bedroom/bathroom area
that would basically make it a 2 bedroom cabin, which is plenty for what i want
(about the only difference in layout would be moving the bathroom wall out a little, so the loft would run straight, or maybe find a spot for the ladder there)
so, what can you guys tell me?
