Phase one complete the plans are set

[brian_nj]

We are about to launch our construction project hopefully in the next two weeks! We are starting with a smaller cabin to use while we are building the main house. It will be 16'x24' with a 8'x15' sleeping loft. While it is a little extravagant for a guest/construction cabin we feel it will allow us the comforts to not rush the main house. The main house being a 20'x34' Universal cottage. After receiving our plans we decided that the constant 3+ hour weekend commute to work on the house would be too much so we are starting a bit smaller.

Here is our floor plan for the small cabin.


and here is a rendering of what we hope it to look like


Here is a pick that will be looking out the front door


And this is the view out the back



We are going to build on a pier foundation for this phase of the project while the main house will be built on a full basement. Well I hope the pics work

We'll all be looking forward to every step of the way.

Looks good, but for myself, I'd rather have the bathroom next to the bedroom    Also, back-to-back plumbing is sometimes cheaper & easier if you can work it out - you can share some of the pipes, drains etc.  But overall, looks like a good plan - I'm looking forward to seeing your progress also.  Nice area!

Looks like a great spot and you've got a solid plan.

I'd rather have the bathroom next to the bedroom   

I agree but the wife wanted the bathroom near the door so as little as possible gets tracked into the cabin once we start the main house construction in a couple months. I may wear the pants in the family but she picks them out

That makes sense  It's not like the house is huge & you have to walk a long way to the BR...  Yes, I pick Glenn's pants out too...
