Little House on the Prairie

I introduced you to Paul McMullin from Ennis, Montana in a previous post and told you I would be sharing more of his work. Here is another little cabin he built and I will let him describe it to you.

I call this one the “Little House on the Prairie.” I built this because my mental health was deteriorating as I was sitting behind my desk late winter doing my usual business stuff for that time of year. I had to get outside and produce something regardless of the weather.

This is what I built. A 14 X 16 inside with a 4 x 14 foot deck. Not knowing how it might be used I left the inside as if you were in the belly of the whale, studs, rafters, and sheeting. I live in a small town of about 1000 so I know most people and most stopped by to see what Paul’s up to. The place was completed, a for sale sign was attached and my mind was back in order.

If you would like to contact Paul you can email him at paulmcmullin@hotmail.com.

  1. This is really cute. I love the look from the front with the contrasting dark wood porch roof resting on the beam frame. Great job!

    I am wondering how much something like this costs to build and how you’d go about moving it?

    • Materials cost me around 5k but I had some laying around from other jobs I do. As for moving, you pick it up with a crane and set it on a trail and away she goes.

  2. Be still, my beating heart. I absolutely LOVE the way the windows frame that bea-U-ti-ful glass door trimmed in red. Gorgeous. And the green glass knob ~ my taste ALL the way!!! Job well done!!

    • Me, three. I have a hard time with builders who only show the outside of the tiny house since potential buyers almost always want to see the inside. I feel like Kent should make a rule about this for potential new builders because we want to support them, but we want to know what we’re getting, too.

  3. I love it. I too, would be interested in a view from the inside. I’d love to see the inside after someone does something with it!
