It's about 12x12 and there are pics of it on my fb page. I love it sooo much! I read out there everyday for an hour or more. My husband built a beautiful little house for me in my backyard.

I have read that some old houses used straw in the wall cavities for insulation, I don't know how well it works. My other idea is to use those packing peanuts, you can often find huge bags of them for free on craigslist. One concern I have is the seams of the plywood, this could be a very easy way for water to get in and ruin that plywood very quickly. looking forward to seeing the progress. cool

Our pad is 12'x10' and built very well. But oh my gosh!!!it is freezing at night! Ryo NEEDS some insulation or we will see a Sean Penn movie about him in 10 years. We ran a Blackcat heater and you could still see your breath frosting in the air by 10 pm inside the cabin. Best of luck! I was just up at our place…7,300ft…6″ of new snow.

Perferated mylar would help the hut breath.Real goods sells it. Get your self a CO2 detectore, it might save you life!If you want to see the wood inside put up foam insulation on the out side, some has mylar attatched. Quilted curtains would be good at night. As for " going" out in the cold, that's what chamber pots are for! A warm rock or brick from the fire wrapped in a cloth and put in the bottom of your sleeping bag will help the cold toes.
