ButtStuff said: I'll be doing this as soon as Spring decides to sprung. All reclaimed lumber from a home that burnt down, somewhere around 16x20 in terms of size. The goal is to do it with as many recycled materials as possible and spend as little cash to have a permanent place of my own.
I live on a few acres of land my family owns and I'm pretty solitary so I'm just doing a studio style room with loft bed. I'm pretty excited about getting started. All I ever seem to do is look for ideas online to keep things as efficient, and tight, and decent looking as possible.
Cool stuff.
Make sure to post some pictures!

I'll throw some up as soon as we get started, I'm looking at doing the subfloors with pallets from a local place then covering in OSB. Luckily my pops and I have been pack rats for years so almost everything is scavenged from local home tear downs. I pretty much have all of my supplies ready, plus a well to tap into and electrical. Should be a fantastic place to do some cultivation and slay some poon. =p

XUL said: I was doing some research and I found an interesting cabin and link.
The cabin is called a Norweigian stabbur.


This couple built theirs in a summer without power tools and for $100.
It's interesting.
