A Tiny House?

I've spent some time looking at sites like Mother Earth news for cabin and "do it yourself plans."  We are still plagued by our work schedule.  For the same reason we couldn't remodel the house by ourselves, we won't be able to build a small cabin ourselves.

I really like the Tiny House Blog.  It inspired me to think even smaller than the Field's cabin.  I went back to the Better Built website and started looking through the standard buildings they had.

We stopped by Better Built to talk to them again about just buying a standard building and having someone else do the finishing work.  I had a sketch of a floorplan for the 14x32 (the largest standard building they build).  I knew from my blog research that we needed to think through concepts like window and door locations as well as wiring.

This picture shows the "main" area of the building.  There is a dividing wall between the main area and the garage.  By increasing the pitch of the roof to the max they would allow, we hope to create a small loft for the girls sleeping area above the kitchen and bath.

The garage area is 10 x 14 and will house the UTV (which we PLAN to purchase, but haven't).  They are including a 6x8 door in the garage.  We'll also frame in a small space in the garage for the water heater.

We hope to have this in place by the time school starts.  We still aren't sure about whether the girls will attend a private school in Edmond or Perkins-Tryon.
