My little place

[Dan]

I think quite a while back I had posted an outside pic of my 8x10 microcabin/overgrown outhouse, but it's closer to done, and I have some interior pics as well.  Basically I built this because I had septic, water, and power on the lot, and my wife really wanted a flush toilet when we camped.  8x10 was big enough to put in a sleeping loft, dinette, and bar sink, but not quite big enough to be too comfortable long term.  I have the Victoria's cottage plans and a clearing, working on the budget.  Here's a link to a few pics from this winter.

This was a very light snow winter in north-central Washington, only about 3 feet on the ground in these pictures, typical year would have at least 5-7 feet on the ground most of the winter, I've seen 11 feet there, and the "old-timers" remember a winter that had 17 feet on the ground.  We're located a few miles up the road past Lake Wenatchee, WA.

Enjoy,

Very cute little cabin! Almost big enough for 1 person to live in fulltime!

Have a look at the "Speaking of Tiny Houses..." thread I just put up!

Hi Dan,

Great little place. Did you base this off of some plans or did you design it? If it was off of plans, where did you get them?

I am looking to do something similar, but on a 10X10 foundation and I would like to make the loft a full second story.

Please let me know,

Rod

I sort of made this up as I went along.  Way overbuilt, but that works for me  

I would think that John's Little House plans could me modified to work for your purpose.  I think a full 2 story on a 10x10 might look just a little tower like, how about baloon frame it with 10 or even 12 foot studs and creat sort of a story and a 1/2 like the Victorias Cottage and 20x30 plans on this site.
