Hello everyone,
My name is andy, and I would like to build a cabin. Well more like a cottage. We purchased an acre of land, and we found out that we need to build at least a 755sq/ft "dwelling"/cottage. We are very new at this. So our plan now is to make a clear the land of trees and make a building site, and driveway. Then we will install a septic tank and a well. I think we can make it up to this point ok, now comes the building.
We are on a small budget and I don't have much building experience. I can read blueprints, electrical and pneumatic drawings, use precise levels and gauges, but I never even built a shed. I think so far the best thing for us is a prefab home/cottage kit. We were looking at some for like 30k that were a 988sq/ft. Has anyone every put one of these together? I would do this with a couple of firends. I'm not sure how to make a foundation, that seems like the hardest part. Other then permits, foundation and the kit are there any other cost we sould expect?
What kind of foundation do you need?
Thanks
