Cabin #2

Check out the floor plan and elevations for mine and Eric's cabin! We're really excited about how it turned out, on paper at least. The ~1,900 sf cabin will be LEED Silver certified, incorporating various green building features just like Mom and Dad's house. The cabin will generate its own electricity via solar power, use reclaimed/recycled and non-toxic materials, and have energy efficient lighting and appliances.

Structural engineering is happening now and once that's finished we'll submit the plans to the County for permits. We hope to at least have the foundation built before Christmas, in line with the build of my parents house, and wait for the snow to melt before commencing construction. This time next year is a realistic time frame for the cabin to be finished.
