Small Cabin -- Small is Beautiful

Postby Dee Bee » Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:29 pm

Dee here...

Before I discovered TD, I was thinking about a tiny cabin as a place of retreat and get away. I don't have land, so what is a guy to do? Build a model!

That's what I did about two years ago. If you wand to see the pictures of my "Hermitage" click on http://www.nfdc.net/home/cbdb/Micro%20Cabin.htm

There are some interesting links at the bottom, one link is to a tiny house company. They have Vardo on wheels http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/houses.htm

I also found a page about the revival of the caravan/gypsy wagon
http://www.daphnescaravans.com/

Some of the products relate to Teardrops and living small.

Small can be beautiful!

Thanks for the info. I am planning on building a cabin next year and all the info will be great to read again as I've read most of it before. I did bookmark your cabin site and enjoyed looking at your tiny cabin.

Had planned on somthing like it at one time but I've gotten plans now and will be building a different one.

Thanks again.

Hey DeeBee,

That is very cool!

A few year ago I built a model of my summerhouse also. It's a 10x10 with a loft. I didn't include the interior detail like you did. but since I was planning on a version of a timberframed summerhouse, I played around with the structure a lot. I built the model up at 1/4 scale.
