Speaking of cabins, though (and I am excited about building it), I haven't said much to my digital audience about it. So, you're in for a treat! The gang and I will be moving into a small woodsie cabin this fall, which will be heated entirely with wood and will only barely have running water. It's quite exciting, and it will be wonderful to have a space all to ourselves.
The catch: I have 19 weeks to build it.
Yes, I am insane in many ways, but I think this can be done. The foundation is mostly there, I've got some fantastic help, and we already have firewood... but it's still quite the challenge. I enjoy a good challenge, but I seem to be an expert at accumulating them. Anyway, please ooh and ahh at my sketches below (it will help my self-esteem). I've only posted a couple for ease of page loading:

It's late, and I must be moving bed-ward.

Woof.
Yay! Cabin^^
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to helping out.
That's awesome. I like the layout, it looks cozy in a good way (as opposed to when it's a euphemism for "small"). Where are you building it? Also, what's "barely" running water? Do you mean a pump or something? Anyway, it sounds neat.
ReplyDeleteWe're building it at Allison's. The water system is going to be fairly primitive. I'm going to install water barrels in the loft (~100 gallons) which will be refilled when necessary. The plumbing will work mostly like any other house, except for this one will be gravity-based.
