Although it may not have a trailer base , wheels , or the ability to move – the 250 substructure square foot petite cabin we are creating in the extra blank space of our garage certainly would qualify as tiny house bread and butter .
The extra space in our service department gave us the stark place to create a tiny cabin
We desire to produce a private place at the farm for class and friends to stay on visits .
The extra space in our garage gave us the perfect place to create a tiny cabin
As we started construction on the house this summer , we quickly earn the bonus country in our nearby garage was just the space for the job !
Our garage is a 24′ x 32′ Weaver Barns stock simulation that they modify to pit the house . It come received with an extra door and storage space beside the master garage door .
That extra space has now become our midget cabin guest house !
The bathroom is small, but still spacious enough to move around
The Tiny Cabin Details
The tiny cabin bar just 11 feet wide x 24 long , and comes in at a whopping sum of 264 square understructure . Although it sounds small , it still has all of the comforts of a overnice hotel elbow room .
The lavatory is small , but still wide enough to move around
We used many of the same space and price saving feature from the house in the cabin . For the walls and ceilings , we chose 10″ shiplap to give it a genuine “ cabin ” feel . I ca n’t say enough about shiplap . It is so cheap and easy to install – and makes building a breeze!See : The Ease of Using Shiplap
For the bathroom entrance , we built a sliding barn doorway to conserve on blank space , and added in a pocket-size vanity , exhibitor and privy .
To round it all out , a few cheap stock wood cabinets , some leave over barn wood , and a mini fridge create the kitchen region .
The independent living area comes in at 12′ x 11′ , leaving more than enough room for a umber board and a pull out couch and bed .
We used old barn wood for the back splash in the kitchen.
From a toll standpoint , we were fortunate to have the water system , sewer and electrical inspection and repair easily accessible from the nearby menage . To economise on expenses , we had the those services run at the same time when we created the foundations in the spring .
For heat and air , we installed an inexpensive PTAC unit that can be easily plow off when not in use . All in all , not a bad blank for visitant to enjoy a little time at the farm .
We used previous barn wood for the back splash in the kitchen .
So as we move in this weekend to the mansion – it ’s gracious to hump that we have a little extra space for family and friends to savor the farm on visits as well .
In the meantime , we need to get back to finishing up our own Simple House . After all – it ’s move in weekend ! As a affair of fact , if we had it through – we should have had someone outride in the tiny cabin this weekend to avail us move ! 🙂
We include a few extra photos at the end of the post as well .
