  • With input from Pam and Chris Daniele ( @DirtandGlass ), I (Derek "Deek" Diedricksen) designed and provided the sketches for this cabin, and oversaw its initial framing alongside a group of workshop students at Tiny House Summer Camp in 2018 before things got weird in the US. Chris Strathy (aka "The Capable Carpenter" was on hand to help too). Well, two years later we returned to do some more work on this cool off grid, solar cabin in the woods and had a chance to check out all the hard work and improvements that the owners had since done themselves. Its a simple little cottage in the woods (a mere 8' by 12' at the base- with a sleep loft), but it does have charm and seclusion going for it, among other things. It was also one of many cabins we toured/saw at the workshop. Tiny House Summer Camp 2022 has already been announced btw, and sign ups are in the links down below. Oh yeah, this cabin utilizes a nearby outhouse as building a toilet IN such a small space might not be realistic (and perhaps er, "odoriferously unappealing"). #dirtandglass #tinycabin #vermonttinyhouse #tinyhouseworkshop

    In a cabin my sweetie and I would need everything on one level because of mobility issues. Being over 60 with back injuries we don't get around like we use to.
    A stove would be a must for heat and cooking, as would an indoor bathroom space because of mobility issues.
    We use to enjoy camping before we got hurt on the job... injuries slowed us down a lot.
    We are thinking of moving northern Nevada and are looking at a dog trot style place. The main living space would be 16 maybe 20 feet deep by 24 to 30 feet wide then a 12 to 16 foot covered breezeway with an outdoor kitchen. Then a 16 to 20 foot deep by 12 foot wide studio for friends to stay in or a craft space for us.
    The idea of enclosing the breezeway with roll-up doors for cool to cold weather use is also being tossed around.
    As for building material we are not sure what we will use but are leaning towards ICFs or Rostra blocks.

    Deek you have proven time and time again with a little planning and elbow grease dwelling and structures can be made inexpensively. What the drawback is affordable land and getting the infrastructure in place can be expensive-(Water and Sewer). Because most of these structures require cash outlays. No bank or real estate lender is going to finance any of this.
