Last year I built an 8x8 cabin. It seemed small at first, but after living in it for a while, it now feels (relatively) roomy. I am currently playing with a 4x8 space. (It could work.) What do we need to do inside, anyhow?
SLEEP safely, and stay warm, i.e. shelter.
I am thinking a 6x8 would be perfect as a sleep shack. This is one of my next project experiments.
[Sleep safe, and warm]
Thanks! Great question @portobello8me. In my 8x8 i have a cabinet with a countertop that I found at a thrift shop. It is probably 2 feet deep by almost 4 feet wide. I use the top to cook on with a portable camping gas cooktop. Underneath I have my food storage, with a cooler, and a few cooking utensils.
This is my temporary setup, since I am still working it all out. But it works great as it is. My idea here is to have outside rooms. Such as a bathroom, screened dining/kitchen area. I will keep the inside kitchenette in my 8x8 to fix a snack late at night, or early in the morning, when I am too lazy to go outside, hehe.
I am also working out the solar situation. I will upgrade in the future to be able to run a small efficient refrigerator. I was just thinking about recording the inside of my cabin to post here, but thought I'd wait until I have done a couple of more things inside.
Excuse the mess during my building phase.
My loft bed.
Just trimmed the window with some free pallet wood.
Here you go.I hope these are interesting, and helpful.
That's awesome. I built a 4x8 toolshed for myself and I actually ended up camping in there some nights. I think it's totally possible and would love to hear more from ya
Thats what happened to me. I have slept in tiny pup tents. A 4x8 half cabin is a mansion compared to that. We adjust to the dimensions. What I like about Nature is, Nature does the housecleaning. Simplify where ever you can.
This is great. Can you show some pics of the inside. What do you do for kitchen?
