A Tiny Cabin

[Dee Bee]

Before I discoverd TDs I thought about building a tiny cabin. Trouble with that plan was I own no land. Two winters past I spent some time coming up with this design and model. Here it is just for the fun of it...

Dee, that's a super micro cabin.....................now just find a way to put wheels under it and you'll have the ultimate teardrop trailer!

Oh my gosh Dee Bee. That is an awesome tiny cabin. I love the well thought out design, especially the offset loft. The high ceiling gives the 1st floor area an open feeling, plus the area under the loft, outside, can be a perfect porch for sitting in a rocker and pondering. It wouldn't cost a lot to build either.

Now, if you could get a piece of land out in the middle of nowhere and build it for real.....

It has been done by the folks at Tumbleweed Houses

Dee,
Very nice! I too have spent quite some time looking at different "tiny cabins". I have a set of really nice plans for a 16' x 24' small cabin....

We have just the opposite problem of yours. Spent all our money on the land... can't afford the cabin.

Hey Dee,

I like the effort you put into your model...

A few years ago I was thinking about a micro cabin too... This is what I was working on before I became distracted by teardrops...

getting a piece of land out in the middle of nowhere is ... well ... not all it's cracked up to be.

what you may find you like better is a vacant lot, in a small town somewhere; these can sometimes be had for under $300 in back taxes. You can often have your pick of several on the edge of /in the old part of these little towns. From time to time you find the lot requires some cleanup, but that would come with 'wilderness' as well.

reasonable roads, reliable water, and a post office within walking distance are not bad things, after all.
