News Magazine's Cozy Cabin
Build your own
little cabin with the help of this step-by-step building
guide.
Builder Steve Maxwell states that "Many people dream of building a cabin or
cottage in the woods, beside a lake, along a bubbling brook or
on top of a mountain with sweeping views. But cabins are not
just for wilderness living. They also can offer cozy space as a
guest room, an artists’ retreat, a craft center or a small
office".
In a great
article from a 2006 issue of Mother Earth News magazine, he
shows you how to build a 14-by-20-foot cabin with a sleeping
loft over a shady front porch.
The economical
little house is designed for easy framing. Concrete pier
footings let the cabin adapt to any terrain, including sloping,
rough and rocky ground. Maxwell gives you extensive step-by-step
building instructions and a complete material list. A beautiful
isometric drawing and details by Len Churchill make the project
easy to understand.
