8 ft. x14 ft. Sportin’ Cabin
About a month ago, I introduced you to the 16 ft. x 20 ft. Sportin’ Cabin built by Gable Log Homes. While talking to Gray, I had asked if they had an even smaller version that was about 8 ft. wide. He said they had one in front of their business to demo their logs etc. but did not have a quote or offer it as a kit. To me it looked like a perfect tiny house, guest room, home office, camping cabin, etc.
Gray has put together a quote and kit package that to me seems fantastic. Here are his specifics and I have attached photos, quotes, and drawings of the 8 ft. x 14 ft. Sportin’ Cabin in the photo gallery below.
The cabin will be very similar to the original 16 ft. x 20 ft. Sportin’ Cabin, available with cypress or cedar, 4 ft. x 8 ft. or 6 ft. x 8 ft. wall logs, and loft area.
There will be 2 windows and a door included in the package that also has a 6 ft. x 8 ft. covered porch. We are working on the specifics for assembling the dried in shell of the cabin to be delivered assembled. However, purchasers can still choose the option of “do it yourself!” Since the cabin is 8 ft. x14 ft., it will fall under the wide load criteria.
Remember, the cabins are made from solid cypress or cedar wall logs all around and in each gable.
We are also offering free shipping on the package to anywhere within 300 miles of Sumter, South Carolina. The price of the kit will be $8,997.72.
I am attaching pictures of a similar cabin that is 8 ft. x 12 ft. since we have not completed a cabin of this description yet. I am also attaching the quote for materials of the package as well as a few hand drawn plans.
Backyard Shipping Container Retreat
Dave contacted me Friday about this article and I fully intended to publish it Friday afternoon but life got in the way and so I’m finally getting it out today.
Oregon Live published this neat article about Mike Corvi who lives in Southwest Portland, Oregon. Mike bought a slightly used empty cargo shell for $2,900 and than with the help of a of skilled builder, and a couple of friends and lots of hard work and in about 6 weeks time, constructed this office retreat in his back yard.
His total cost was about $8,000. He enjoyed building it so much that he is taking the next step and going to create a business where he constructs and sells these and plans on making some with a small kitchen and bathroom also. Continue Reading »
