***Update Floor Plan with Dimensions*** Jon Wesson is a big fan of the Tiny House Blog, and if he had his way, he would have a house 120 square feet in size. But, alas, he has two children and that just would not work. Instead, he built a smallish cabin (720 square feet) on Lewis Smith Lake in Winston County, Alabama – a large reservoir much of which is surrounded by national forest land. I’ll turn it over to Jon and let him tell you more about it.
We searched plans for a while and couldn’t find anything that worked for us, so we drafted our own design. It’s a frame built house on a block foundation with Hardiboard exterior siding (to protect from termites, carpenter bees and other varmints) and a tin roof (Galvalume).
We used local subcontractors to do what we could not and the rest we did ourselves. We found some artisans nearby to build and install the cabinets and they did a great job. The open cabinets on each side of the sink give the illusion of space. The lower cabinet drawers give ample room for cookware and other storage.
